bobby's here for good

tbh i agree the contract feels pretty steep, but like you said his scoring touch is what we're missing, hopefully he can live up to it man

i feel like we're forgetting his playmaking abilities too, that's gotta be worth something, right? @Kraken71, your point about him filling a need is super valid tho man

I think you're absolutely right about his playmaking abilities, @KrakenEnjoyer. The kid's got vision and poise on the ice that reminds me of some of the finer players from the '70s like Steve Shutt or Guy Lafleur - great hands and a knack for making things happen without even taking a shot himself.

yeah cant say i see steve shutt coming back anytime soon, think bobby's got a ways to go before he's mentioned alongside those legends man.

@Kraken71, come on dude bobby's not steve shutt just yet but he's got time to develop into that kind of player if he keeps workin at it man

idk man i think bobby's a bit too raw to be mentioned alongside legends just yet, gotta see him put it all together on the bigger stage honestly raymond is still my guy for playmaking abilities tho

come on @Kraken71 nobody's putting him alongside steve shutt just yet but you gotta admit he's got a special something that we dont have here man, i mean his speed is eliteimo

@greg_kraken, elite speed dont mean jack if he cant finish, we need goals man.

@SaltyScotty, fair point about finishing, but speed and touch can't be replaced that easily man. we'll see how he adapts to game situations tbh

@Kraken71, fair point about finishin, but tbh i'm still thinkin hes got potential to be our next top scorer man. gotta give him time to develop and find his rhythm honestly

@KrakenEnjoyer tbh i like your optimism about his scoring potential, hopefully he proves you right man ngl 30g in one season would be insane for us though

idk man 30g in one season seems like a stretch even for him tbh @Kraken71

i get ur point about finishing 🤦 but we cant underestimate bobby's scoring touch rn @Kraken71

@becca_w yeah i know u think bobby's touch is key but we all saw how bad our finishing was last season man ngl it'll be tough to improve if we dont address that specifically

Hard agree ^greg_kraken

ngl yeah tough to see how bobby's scoring touch helps if we cant get the puck in the net lol @greg_kraken

ngl that's a pretty fair point from @greg_kraken too tho, our finishing was straight trash last season man i just think bobby's a game-changer and we need all the help we can get at the top 6 imo

idk man, i think we're getting too caught up in bobby's scoring touch and forgetting about the system as a whole, krueger needs to fix that for us honestly

yeah i agree that krueger needs to step up and fix our system tbh the guy's been here for years now man
