We just cannot compete with the larger fanbases who will vote their own player in. Absolutely knew 100% it would not happen for that reason.

Ahhhh you remind me to do go check how he's doing and compared with Holtz lol I was really bummed that we passed on him and took Holtz. So i'm really hoping that I was wrong then and that Holtz becomes the better player / best fit for us. Rossi 25gm - 8 G / 17 A / 25 PTS in the AHL - 2gm in the NHL - 0pts Holtz 14 GM - 7 G / 8 A / 15 pts in the AHL - 2 gm in the NHL - 2pts So far Rossi has the edge but it's not like he's burning the league either so wtv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And two of Holtz’s are NHL points? I’m not sure I give the edge to Rossi in anything other than games played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadana Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Yeah we could draft Rossi! Let’s sign Gaudreau on the market! Trade for Fiala! Resign Severson, bring back Butcher! Offensive dynamo team. Top 6 Jack, Nico, Jesper, Johnny, Fiala and Rossi(fockin holtz), and Hamilton, Severson, Hughes, Smith, Buther, Walsh as defenseman! Just imagine this force! Great breakfast for strong grit opponent team, when they are on diet. Росси-хуеси. Rossi must be a good productive playmaking center, but this is nowhere close what the devils needs now and and what the devils were needed in 2020. The real question is about Lundell and even Holloway can be the center of discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure I give the edge to Rossi in anything other than games played. Actually, here's the correct numbers: Rossi: AHL: 24 GP, 8 G, 17 A, 25 Pts, +3 NHL: 2 GP, 0 G, 0 A, 0 Pts, -1, 5 SOG, 15:53 ATOI Holtz: AHL: 14 GP, 7 G, 8 A, 15 Pts, E NHL: 7 GP, 0 G, 2 A, 2 Pts, -3, 11 SOG, 11:42 ATOI I'm sure there's metrics that better flesh out the above, but at this point, the samples are so puny that there's no declarations to be made, really. They bring different skillsets anyway...one is supposed to be a playmaking center, the other will hopefully become a pure sniper of a winger. It's so early to be saying this, but I could Holtz scoring some real "Holy shiiiiiiiiit!" kinds of goals...but only winding up with 25 or so of them a year, because the rest of the time he's firing pure logoseekers or missing the net by a mile...the kind of guy that you keep thinking will eventually score over 30 goals when it all comes together, but he just never seems to get there. Not trying to make any definitive declarations...I'd like to see him at least get a couple of years with the big club (when he's ready, which isn't now) before even starting to make any determinations. Just that based on what I've seen in the very early going, that it wouldn't shock me if he became a guy who has that cannon shot and who can score pretty too, but somehow doesn't find as much net as his highlight-reel goals suggests he should. We'll see how he's doing in his Age 25 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guadana Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) https://twitter.com/TheChargingBUF/status/1484320984941223939 You can hire me as your draft specialist, if you don`t wanna listen things like "Holtz is on the same level of talent as Raymond", "Holtz is a good two way winger and he is better prospect than Mercer', "Quinn is overrated", "Edvinsson has no offensive upside, take him in the second ten", "Drysdale is better than Sanderson, Sanderson has 2nd pair upside maximun", "Byfield is much better than Stuzle" etc. uh. And I cant do anything with it. My voice is quiet. Edited January 21 by Guadana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The one black kid on my team in HS got teased mercilessly by rich entitled white kids, which was about 90% of who played hockey locally in the 90’s. It was disgusting and led to many many fistfights that he didn’t get involved in because he knew all of the parents would blame him for everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
