ramcharger440 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I have a feeling he is going to come into his own this year he looked pretty good a couple of times last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like there were a number of players we could lost but Davidson and Hudon were the two i didnt want to. I think he will do quite well, if given the chance - just not sure where he's going to fit into the lineup. If we resign markov thats your #2LD and i would assume Schlemko will be higher on the depth charts for #3LD. Id be pretty surprised if Bergevin doesnt trade for a #1 LD so thats all 3 LD positions locked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramcharger440 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 you never know, we may start the year a bit light on D as we have seen over and over we tend to stock up on them during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope this keeps Streit out of the line up at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a #6-7 dman - BUT - does anyone besides our management group think he's been worse than Alzner? I would argue he's been better than Alzner, Morrow and for much of the year, Benn. The only guys on our roster who are clearly and consistently better than him are Weber, Petry, Mete and Schlemko. I get that the optics of waiving Alzner would be bad, but MB says over and over he's doesnt make moves to be popular, he makes moves to make our club better. To me, making Davidson our #8, thus waiving him, does not make this club better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, making Davidson our #8, thus waiving him, does not make this club better. The bold part is the crux of it. Davidson is a depth player but this team has had to lean on depth the past two years. Barberio was a depth player and it cost us to let him be exposed to claim and then have to go scrambling to find 5-6-7 guys afterwards. I'll take the 4 guys you mentioned and Jerabek over Davidson, and I'll probably take Benn over Davidson too, but Davidson has been better than Alzner and Morrow and I'd rather have waived one of the latter two first. I think there's a decent chance Davidson gets claimed (apparently Edmonton only traded him cause they thought they would lose him in the ED, so they're one possibility) whereas I doubt Morrow gets claimed and I'd be relieved if Alzner did.

Noob616 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Meh. I'd rather Davidson than Morrow but I can't bring myself to care about this. There's 9D on the roster and the coach prefers Morrow so Davidson's the one to go. I'm the first one on the dump Alzner at all costs train but Bill Belichick is probably the only guy in sports that does it less than a third of the way into year 1 of a 5y/4.6M per year contract.

HabsRuleForever Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Going back to the Oilers. Claimed by Edmonton. Nice to to hear for the former Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maas_art Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 As mentioned above, i dont particularly care about losing Davidson (although i think he was better than some guys we kept) but we'd better not claim DD if he hits waivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
