Follow that same path. I don't know why more players don't. I wondered that myself. They can all afford it. Maybe its the time involved and some would rather vacation. Maybe there are only so many spots available and you need referrals. Didnt Trouba do it and quit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't hack it and just quit. Who knows if that's true. I just think that if there is a spot available and you can see the results with your own eyes, and you want to make a career of this hockey thing, then why wouldn't you invest in yourself. But I know I am talking about 20 year old kids who think they are indestructible so not so easy to convince them I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a really good player making millions doing your own thing, what is the incentive to spend your summers doing that? Drinking Beet Juice etc lol Takes a special person to be that dedicated. That's Uber Dedication. We're lucky to have Scheif. Last stats on Roslo were 6'1, 187. Would love to see him add a bit more weight to the frame.

For a shutdown D with almost zero powerplay time, I actually think Morrissey is producing really well After Niku, I don't see a lot of two-way D waiting in the wings though on either side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then u got a guy like Kovacevic who is RHD tho and even Logan Stanley. Jets lack top end center depth. Niku is more of an O based D.. Lots of points for him.

D for D trades happen quite a bit. not sure that's a relevant comparison. Teams trade for need, not because other teams did similar trades. If center depth is a concern, then Chevy will address it, no matter who he is dangling. So to respond to your original comment, no I don't think that Chevy is going to just dump Trouba for another D-man, that doesn't make much sense.

So to respond to your original comment, no I don't think that Chevy is going to just dump Trouba for another D-man, that doesn't make much sense. I think, if traded, the likelyhood is a young D with potential to be really good. Not someone who can fill Trouba's position now, but hopefully later. The other team would make that trade because they want Trouba now. And I'd suspect the D coming back, as much potential as he might have, will not be as highly thought of as Trouba, meaning a high pick and a solid second player in the deal as well. Either another D man or a centre prospect. Petan might go the other way to sweeten our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
