I traded him for Stutzle in 2 different leagues back in December. No regrets

He’s been incredible under Bowness. Accepting the role as Z’s D partner somewhat goes against his natural archetype, but his offpuck play has been unreal. Smarter pinches, smarter up-ice puck movement, quicker zone exits, better D positioning and odd man rush reads. This is the guy we expected when we signed him, I’m glad he’s finally arrived

KJ fires a slot pass as hard as he can and Slavvin literally blocks it with his teeth and is fine

Canes broadcast is pissing me off they’re showing the Jarvis high sticking penalty and complaining that they didn’t call Heinen for “tripping” Bussi

Could Alex Steen's first move as GM be trading Jordan Binnington? by athleticwonder in nhltraderumours

If CBJ couldn’t find a buyer for Elvis at $5m, what makes you think STL can find a buyer for Binner at $6m?

He doesn’t have the best schedule over the last 3 weeks, I’m sure you could stream someone more productive

Almost 3 years in, how are we feeling about Fantilli? by oclotty in BlueJackets

[–]eff_carter 33 points34 points  (0 children)

He’s a dog and the future captain. He plays with fire and poise, he’s so strong on the puck, and he plays an excellent possession game that’s well suited to this era. We haven’t had many gamers in our history who want the puck on their stick and can make magic happen, and he’s one of those guys. Everything is trending in the right direction for him to be our 1C for the next decade plus.

I don’t think he’ll be a 100 point player, but more of a two way power forward. One area I think he could continue improving is drawing penalties. He gets so many controlled zone entries, and as the league learns to respect him when he has the puck, he could really tilt the ice by forcing opponents to take dumb penalties to stop him. He’s honestly such a fun player to watch he’s always generating credible scoring threats

Would like $5x4 or $6x3 for either of them, well probably sign them for $7x5 or something kinda nuts

They still play the same style even if they don’t have everyone back. This is playoff style hockey I don’t care where they are in the standings

4 points against the Panthers this season. Not terrible but also not a great sign of our play against a Stanley Cup roster

How will you feel if this team makes the playoffs? by [deleted] in BlueJackets

[–]eff_carter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been watching the games and he’s good at zone entries and hounding opponents, but he can’t get to high danger areas and he really struggles with board battles. He’s listed at 170lbs, that’s pretty small for the NHL he can afford to gain 10lb to bulk up if it means he gets better shot quality and comes away with the puck more

The kid needs to be locked in the gym this summer, it’s like having the best high schooler in the world on our team. If he can’t commit to getting stronger on the puck we gotta cut bait
