Would DM be a #5 or 6 D on a lot of teams? Hell yeah he could, 100%, but the problem is "every" team has "young" guys in the AHL/in there system thats gonna be NHL ready, as they think, thats just how NHL works. The fact is they rather have there guys they drafted and bring them along then somebody else's, the fact NOBODY picked this dude up on waivers should tell you guys something, there are TERRIBLE DEFENSIVE teams out there and DEFENSEMAN ARE RARE NOW A DAYS. at least good ones.... so theres something wrong, From what i've seen hes been decent at best but looking at how the pens won the cup last year with speed i dont think theres a place for him personally. My 2 cents. and Boston is desperate for Dmen, so is Flyers, blue jackets, Dont give me this cap space B.S for 800k rental. You as well and i know if a team picked him up and gave him a extension he would sign one almost immediately since he is most likely not gonna be in this league for a long time

I agreed with a lot of what you said until this. So his system is good enough to win 15 playoff games but not 16? Why even bother watching if you're already sure of the ultimate outcome?

Anything can happen in the NHL playoffs and these declaratory statements that so confidently declare playoff failure for the Rangers as if it is a mathematical certainty drive me up a damn wall.

Proof is in the pudding his system does not work regards winning the CUP. How many does AV have again? Just say'in.

You telling me Carolina with 16 million in cap space wouldnt take a flyer on dylan because they would rather wait until he is a free agent...one of the worst gaa right now...800k is to much...and it wouldnt be straight up 800k because they would release someone to make room..

Sorry but i call bullshit.

Call it what you want. If you or any of us knew what Carolina is trying to do internally then I would give credence to your statement. But, in my opinion Carolina has bigger issues to fix than a 3rd pair Dman in their eyes. With 16M as you state is free, they need more upfront and if I was the GM that is what I would be trying to fix right now.

Its just an example that if this guy was anywhere near the 1st round status and wasnt ruined by a coach that one team...any team would take him on 800k
