The Oilers need to prioritize resigning Desharnais. He gets better and better by the game. They had him out there protecting a 1-0 lead with 2 mins left last night.
I said in my comment to KR55. I don't love Ceci but I don't see a viable upgrade available via UFA or trade at Ceci's price point. Maybe the upgrade is Desharnais?
He's not going to score you a lot of points but for a big man, he moves really well. His reach is unreal, he gets his stick in the way of passes a ton, blocks shots, has an edge, can be physical and his puck moving continues to improve. He's needs more growth but he works his ass off, he's hungry and wants to improve, the amount he's improved from last year to this year is pretty impressive. They need to get him signed as this guy has the makings of a real gem.

Vinny was spectacular defensively in that game. Might have been the best I've ever seen him play. Would be very convenient if he took another step and could be a solid defender playing with Nurse. Not sure if it quite worked out this year, but would be pretty useful of he has another level he can sustain next season.
Just remembered last night watching these guys, Chia actually drafted is an elite top pair offensive D, a #1 goalie and little bonus with Vinny.
Too bad Chia sucked so bad at trading, and maybe his impatience would have gave these players away if we let him GM longer. Do appreciate the lagging draft results though. Wonder if Holland will leave any gems behind. Not sure if anyone is tracking that similar. Holloway and Broberg need to take some huge steps.
|
I feel like if you can get an everyday NHL Dman in the 7th round, that's found money. If you can get a top 4 guy, that's a hell of a get. Not sure yet if he can become a top 4 guy but I would not bet against him just because of how hungry he is and how hard he seems to work on his game. Fingers crossed!
|
Vinny gets exposed when the opponent plays with speed. Let's pump the breaks on a MUST resign when a guy has 2 good games. Can't end up with a Nurse situation for his contract, PURELY OVERPAY I'M TALKING - NOT SAYING THEY WILL PAY HIM 9.25 PER
|
Depends on what you watch and how you see a player. If your expectation is no Dman ever gets beat, then sure, he will get beat from time to time by players with great speed. Players with great speed expose a lot of NHL dmen. McD, Mackinnon, blow by lots of norris winners from time to time. EKholm can be beat from time to time by really fast players. But generally you don't see Vinnie get turn styled shift after shift. His positioning is pretty sounds, his reach is massive and helps him against any really fast players more times than not and his skating is good enough that he keeps up with the majority of NHL forwards.
|
Recency bias against a lackluster Kings system with one offensive dynamo tends to sway your mind.
Hope he proves me wrong, but again, you can't overpay a bottom pairing dman when you have 29, 2 and 97 coming due for contracts here in the very near future.
