Pyatt = pylon. Never wants to mess up his pretty lil face lol. I swear this guy misses or fans on so many passes he easily could of had 30-35 goals if he connected on about 75% of the twins passes. He has like no hand to eye coordination, can't tip any pucks even they were going 30 km/hr.

seriously if the twins played in the east they'd get 90 points a piece easily.

yeah and whoever kovalchyuk would play with would probably be a 60-70 point player.

I'd prefer to have him over the sedins, mainly because i find the sedins very boring to watch, but that trade will never happen anyway.

True, but u gotta pay that player atleast 2-3 Million so he can even come close to that point total. There ur already paying more money for the same point production.

ChaKo 07-21-2008 09:26 PM

i see kovalchuk more as a gamebreaker. the sedins are more consistent, whereas kovalchuk can just go off one night and get like 4 points. i know the sedins have done so in the past as well, but more likely in games that we more or less dominated the other team. kovalchuk on the other hand, wins those much needed games that we tend to lose by a goal. kovalchuk, like sundin, is one of those players that has the potential to carry a team on his back during those desperate times.

is kovalchuk a native?

Watch him play defense and tell me again if he can carry a team.

Players like Zetterberg or Sundin can carry a team on his back.

ChaKo 07-22-2008 02:48 AM

he does so in his own way. when his team is down by a goal or two, he can be the one that brings them back. even when atlanta had nobody, kovalchuk still kept them in it, somewhat. and the canucks are not the thrashers. we have one of the most sound defensive cores in the league coupled with arguably the best man between the pipes. we are not gunna be paying the man to play defense. zetterberg may be one of the best defensive forwards out there, but he is far from able to carry a team. he needs datsyuk as much as henrik needs daniel. and i'm sure lidstrom played no small part in their plus/minus success.

Have you ever watched the Laffs? Sundin is the only good player they have!

Stupid questions make Baby Jesus :cry:

wtf, Kovalchuk is Russian. Gino Odjick is native.

Toronto has no good players, Sundin can lead.
Detorit's a stacked team, can't really compare it the same way.

The whole Kovalchuck and Sedins thing, like most have mentioned, Kovalchuck's a gamebreaker.
He can't carry a team on his own, but he won't be on his own if he's with the Canucks.
When the team is down by a goal, I can picture him flying down the ice coast to coast and getting the tie.
I cannot picture Sedin doing anything to that degree. Trading two players for one seem like an insane idea, but most of the Sedins's points rub off from each other anyway.
If you took one away, the other wouldn't be getting the same amount of points per season.

Sundin squashes rumour he's made decision:
