MTL definitely didn't offer Eller and a 1st for Roy. Come on, use your head.

Yeah I am sure Joe just turned down Eller and a 1st just cuz amirite lolz
99% sure he's talking about Pominville. Buffalo went to Montreal, asked for Beaulieu + Eller + 1st, and Montreal rejected.
Supposedly.
Dustin Byfuglien - Well he plays D all the time now, but he used to be a winger too I believe.someone said almost halfjokingly about kcon making a transition to forward----can anyone remember any attempts at doing such that ended up ok?
That kind of a move should be either a last resort or something you do with an established NHLer if you feel like that's how they can best help your team.
However, I disagree that we don't need forwards. This team needs everything except a goaltender. It's not as if we're lighting up the scoreboard most nights.
I disagree. Our top 6 is very solid. The thing is that they need a good defense behind them. Having a D like our current one is terrible on a forwards psyche, as they think they have to get deeper in the zone to help out their defenseman. Also, if a scoring line is pinned down in the defensive zone due to inability to clear the puck, they'll usually be forced to dump and change to a lesser unit. That results in wasted ice time and less offensive zone time.
On the flip side, if you have a good defense that can get the puck out on a regular basis, you will see forwards stop going deep into the zone, therefore getting more of a jump on their attack. Also, you will see more offensive zone time for your scoring players. So basically, it's a couple simple equations-
Offense-defense= forwards staying back more often= less goals= greater chance of defeat
Offense+defense= forwards attacking quicker and with often occurrence= more goals= greater chance of victory
Of course, the only way this is relevant to Connauton is if he's good enough defensively to hold down bottom pairing duty and keep his assignments in check. If he isn't good enough to do that, than this whole discussion is moot regarding him.
