@CleanHitsHockey Imagine if you went back two months and said to the mammoth fanbase that come next season we would have only two U23 players in the lineup while Carcone, Yamamoto, Stenlund, Tanev, O'Brien have their spots. It's crazy how far our potential contention window is...
@clubbertime And thanks to it he could have also had a shot at Carlsson or Mintyukov. But nah we have Weegar Trocheck Tanev and Lee while our contention core is 19-23..
@BagleyKSLsports I understand that, and ofc trocheck is worth those assets, but is trocheck worth for Utah? When the team is ready to contend he will not be here.. I see it the same way as the weegar trade, just rushing the process.. sure why not trade our assets but why trade them for 32+ yo men
@MikeBartner Mike you're too kind like why... Just say it's D- for Utah don't gaslight. Paying a good prospect for a 33 year old when your contention core is 19-23 is not good business..
@JazzePinkman Hard disagree, wouldn't do trocheck for cobo 1 for 1, yes trocheck's a good player but doesn't fit the timeline at all while cobo would fit perfectly... GMBA must think cobo is not a future nhl player or this is a hasty impatient shortsighted move
@CleanHitsHockey Honestly absolutely noone, maybe some depth two way contracts Tucson/injury.. Already have far far too many roster players for the number of younglings that need to start playing nhl minutes. And they are the window.
@doaner1976 Honestly that is the best case scenario... Their timeline is going to be our window (or our crack at it), as soon as they're ready, we're cooking. That's why I don't understand why some people wish GMBA traded some of them for a 25+yo.
@clubbertime They together with Jj Cools Gunner Kells and Sergy are the team's core, not the guys on the team atm. The best outcome this year is what probably happens, that is to draft a no1 D, trade the non-core players, get a new coach for next season and have some fun (after 4 years)
@clubbertime Honestly, I don't think it's the players underperforming or the management being bad, it's just that the expectations were not realistic. We have the pieces to be a playoff team, many of them just aren't nhl ready yet and that's fine. Iggy, CoBo, Desy and Sim are yet to come. 1)
@TuskedUp What kind of move would you like to see? Getting younger from within, older from within, selling future for old pieces or selling old pieces for future?
