At the very least I'd give Lankinen the start next game and go from there.
If the price is right I wouldn't mind taking a shot on him especially since Sherwood has regressed quit a bit. That being said the problem in Vancouver seems to be a lack of forechecking and defensive tenacity, which is what has landed several of the younger guys in the doghouse already this year so I'm not sure its a great fit with what Bruno is trying to accomplish.I’ve seen several different talking heads around Nashville mention Andrey Kuzmenko of Vancouver being a player the Predators organization should target.
It's cathartic for fans to vocalize the fact they want a player benched even if it's not realistic.The “star” players are not going to get benched. Ever. Fair or not, that’s the nature of professional sports. Always has been, always will be.
Why would Vancouver want Barrie anyways? I mean they may want to move the guy but I think I could come up with someone at least as good for a heck of a lot cheaper.Im open to the idea as long as it doesnt cost anything other than a barrie. I think his first season was an anomaly and this is more in line with what to expect. He is an upgrade on the sherwoods of the world but he isnt really out producing tomasino by that much even though he is on a team that is producing at a fairly better rate than nashville is. So is this much larger caphit really worth the upgrade? I also bet we end up keeping barrie and send fabbro instead because you know "f'n fabbro"
Yep. I'd say the difference is Coach B. is asking his guys to play that aggressive pressure more. It's actually fun to watch when we're able to clog passing lanes and create turnovers in the offensive zone. I think he leans more into a strategy of giving up "a few" more chances against with generating "more" goals for. (Whether that's actually bearing out in the numbers is an exercise for the reader.)Though there is a different forecheck system both were high pressure. There were all kinds of odd man rushes last season because of the forecheck system being high risk high reward and the players not being urgent getting to their marks, hence, more risk than reward. Hynes actually used two forechecking schemes, one being passive, depending on the situation and so does Brunette but to a lesser extent.
Josi at his worst 100x better than Fabbro at his bestFabbro makes bad moves gets benched.
Josi makes bad moves gets better defensive partner and nothing else happens.
Zadorov loves playing with Barrie. Jon Scott podcast...literally out of his own mouthWhy would Vancouver want Barrie anyways? I mean they may want to move the guy but I think I could come up with someone at least as good for a heck of a lot cheaper.
That's stretching it. Josi was just as bad as Fabbro if not worse in the Calgary game and that's probably one of Fabbro's worst games of the year.Josi at his worst 100x better than Fabbro at his best
And? I don't know too many decent NHL GM's who are trading for players just because a random Dman likes playing with someone, especially one that isn't very goodZadorov loves playing with Barrie. Jon Scott podcast...literally out of his own mouth
Yeah Quinn Hughes may have that pull but Zadorov definitely doesn’t. That being said there were some Canucks fans earlier in the year that thought a Barrie-Kuzmenko trade was a decent deal. Granted Barrie’s stock has dropped a lot since then but so has KuzmenkoAnd?

Not defensivelyJosi at his worst 100x better than Fabbro at his best
I just disagree. I dont think Fabs passes the eye test and I've been a vocal supporter of his in the past, especially under Hynes. He may do better with a chance of sceneryNot defensively
