Thats a hard one to argue. Okposo and girgs definitely scored timely goals. Also Okposo could slide up lines if need be.

New 4th line is a nice checking line. Plays fast. Takes horrible penalties. I think they will play better after 25 games.

Right now i give it to Okposlo and Great28. Actually by alot. Revisit in 25 games

This 4th line plays 6-8 minutes a night, doesn't play special teams, and isn't effective at either end of the ice. Hits are nice. Don't see teams going after Dahlin like last season.

The time to trade for a decent 3c was the time to trade Savoie.

Good draft pick good trade

Top5 type stuff on this transaction

Don't think you believe a word of that.

Its a play, sometimes a fun one but seriously

Into year 5 this is 100% on adams

We all wanted Adams to trade a future for present player.

How’s Savoie looking in Edmonton?

Playing in Bakersfield and has 5pts in 7 games

Yea but when the top6 dried up last few years you can play the 4th line 14min and they were usually good for a goal.

I expect a goal every 10 games from the current 4th line. Maybe Dahlin needs to get his head punched in.

Im gonna say dahlin is the biggest disappointment this year.

Just wish he wasn't still so easy to take advantage of in year 5.

Girgensons and Okposo didn't lead this Team anywhere. Maybe if you didn't flush Sh!t and bring in more Sh!t it wouldn't be talked about.

They just did a bit of a reversal. 3rd line is the new LOG. The lines you count on defensively. LOG was always effectively a 3rd line anyways. McLeod, Greenway, Zucker is miles better than LOG.

Why can't they develop their own bottom 6 after a 13 year rebuild? Hell of a question.

Ethan bear would have 5pts in Bakersfield.

He’s not nhl bound anytime soon right?

We needed a vet 3c with some experience.

It’s ok to like the trade for both teams imo

Dahlin is definitely disappointing.

I’m not buying the injury any longer. He needs to pace 70 points imo

Definitely not 11m play, that's for sure. Feels like more dynamic plays from Power than him so far.

Adams clearly cant build a roster. They probably develop them correctly before they hit the big club but once they get up to the NHL we stunt there growth. They get put in positions there are not ready for.

Then rebuild every 4 years. Traded players go to well run teams and they succeed. But we blame the players.

The only player that we traded that got worse or stayed the same was Risto. All other players succeeded.

Time for Sammy to sit

Can we sit Sammy and get Ryan Johnson up here. Sammy kinda sucks at hockey.

They needed a 3C because there GM wasn't proactive and traded his possible 3C, or maybe 2C. And hasn't drafted a suitable player to be able to fill a need. You know a Team building through the Draft that can't seem to Draft players that fill needs.

I think if we traded Sammy he would follow Ristos path. He is bad at hockey

That hit UPL's pad or stick ?

Power looks great

Can’t wait to see him in his prime

Cozens looks scared!

3/5- trade away 3C
Krebs fails at 3C
6/28- draft future 3C
7/4- pay extortionist price for a 3C

Power looks great

Can’t wait to see him in his prime
- Boss34

Still don't feel like they have the right partner for him....hate all of their pairings really.

Cozens looks scared!

Hes soft

Not something someone with the nickname workhorse should be

God Dammit go get Power the proper Mentor and Partner. Don't do the same thing you did to Dahlin. Still don't have the proper Vets to help this team Grow.
