I know you think you're smarter than everyone here....but we talk about Nylander so much ONLY because you defend him like you do. You've been wrong about it the entire time, and we have been telling you that basically since the time he got here, he isn't a good hockey player. We all know there are much bigger and different problems with the team. And now you're coming around on Bowman.......maybe, just maybe a few of us know what we are talking about...and possibly see things before you do in certain instances. Had he just compared Nylander to Teravainen months ago, I would've known to ignore his hockey opinions then & saved myself a ton of headache

Did you think Perlini sucked before he got here too? If so, maybe I'll stfu a bit more. I defended him all of the 2019 season before taking the L on that one. Basically what I'm saying is that I'm willing to take the L on Nylander if everyone would just STFU about it. Both Perlini and Nylander are the hockey equivalent of taking a flyer on Mazara. They're gambles that good teams make but you're going to strike out more than you hit a HR. Knowing when to bail is the key here. Like I said earlier, it's like going to the casino with $100 and leaving with $60. Edited August 17, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman
August 17, 20205 yr You were wrong about Teravainen then Parkman and still are now. If Nylander even showed half of what Teravainen did in the playoffs I personally wouldn't be ridiculing him. I saw flashes from Teuvo when he was here when people (including you) and the media were giving him shit. I have not seen that from Nylander. Does he make the occasional good play defensively? Yes and I'm not saying he's a bad hockey player. But for his draft pedigree I don't want to see him be David Kampf out there (who btw is also producing more in the playoffs than he has while also taking the much tougher defensive assignments).

That's perfectly fair. No issues with this post.
August 19, 20205 yr Well.. Colliton did good by scratching Nylander. But not for John fucking Quenneville who is a much worse hockey player. No idea why they don't wanna draw Kurashev in. Hell, I'd rather freaking Sikura out there. Just making me miss Nylander. If they are going to make dumb decisions like that, then leave Nylander in the whole series.

August 19, 20205 yr I feel like Keith was really bad tonight. He looks slow and was bad with the puck. He was a step late on the first three goals, and I’m pretty sure he was on the ice for all four goals against.

Because of the flat cap you won't get fair value if you trade Kane and/or Toews. Edited August 19, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman

Maatta trade in a vacuum was fine de Haan trade in a vacuum was fine both combined sucked. I hated the Shaw move from the moment it was made. There was no reason to acquire one of Maatta/de Haan or Shaw. Caggiula does what Shaw does for half the price. They finally had cap space last year and they wasted it. They should have taken the #2/3 they traded for Shaw and moved it for Nylander, kept Jokiharju and acquired de Haan only. Edited October 4, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman

October 4, 20205 yr Ugh.. not a fan of the Maatta deal. I understand it cause of the cap, but that guy is so underrated.

Those three will only go somewhere if they want to. I'm fine with them rebuilding. They have some young pieces already in place. Edited October 8, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman

They should've done it 3-4 years ago (while Kane, Toews and Keith were all still semi young). Instead they've been putting bandages on a wound that needed stitches.
