I echo what a few others said about getting tired of patience. I keep hearing from the team and especially from the mouth piece Stauffer about the defense and how it's coming. Bouchard is coming, Broberg is coming, Samorukov is coming, Lagesson can play, Jones is going to be a good one. WHEN? When is this happening?
I look at the Oilers defense today and they aren't old. The only guy over 30 today is Russell and they are already phasing him out. Barrie is 29 and chances are he's a 1 and done. Larsson is 28 and looks to be on the way out or at least a reduced role if he's back next year. The previous management did a lousy job with the defense, now they seem to be stocked. So when are they going to play these guys or use some of these assets to bring in plug and play guys? As an example, Dunn is available. He looks to be a plug and play guy right now that would fit nicely on the second pairing. He's got OK size, mobile, moves the puck, has offense and experience. He's a dman for todays NHL. I don't know why the Blues want to get rid of him but who cares. Everyone says Jones could be a good top 4 guy. Dunn had 12 goals, 35 pts 2, seasons ago, 9 goals, 23 pts in 71 games last year. Is Jones going to do better than that? Maybe but those are pretty good numbers for a guy who wouldn't be their top guy nor would he have been getting top unit PP time. So Jones is going to have to be damn good to top them. Jones is going to be 24 in June and we all think he's going to be a decent NHL dman but at 23, we are still unsure. Dunn at 24 IS a pretty decent NHL dman and has been for several seasons now. There is a 1 mill difference in salary between the 2 guys which has value. So whatelse would it take?
At some point they have to stop waiting for these guys to maybe figure it out and get guys who have figured it out.
