If you are an NHL player, you have do something very well to contribute to the team. Even morons like Moore and Boyle are good on faceoffs and the PK unit. Stralman is an upgrade for many teams out there. Here, he's just taking up a roster spot.
Stralman is what he is. Mediocore at a lot of things. Good at nothing really. Just a mediocore dman. A 3rd pair guy. AV likes him though, so he is locked in while he is here.
I like the new handle dump, don't understand what AV sees in Anton, he's small, soft and devoid of any offensive ability. Even homers like Sam & Joe can only describe him as steady.
I like Allen a lot more already. When you don't notice a defenseman, it's good at times. That means he isn't screwing up. At this point I would prefer he would trade Stralman for a near NHL ready prospect.
McIlrath would be great for starters, but this team needs at least one more. I am sick and tired of watching this D leave Hank out to dry. The Rangers are very easy to play against. You just knock them around for 3 periods, and head for the crease because their is nobody on this team that will make a serious attempt to stop you.
He had to pick Cally because he was on a leadership committee they had. I like Saad but he's a product of playing with a ton of great players on the Hawks. Put him on this team and he would have 8 goals if he was lucky.
