Thread: Wild offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lolo205</b></div><div>i mean respectfully when looking at the role a player plays, it should be more than points? Moore wasn't like a Top Line Winger or anything??</div></div>

Moore - Danault - Arvidsson/Fiala have been the Kings' best line since January 1, 2023 -- i.e., for one and a half seasons.

Moore kills penalties and although his 2 short-handed points aren't much to crow about, they indicate <strong>something</strong> because they're more than the shorthanded points the four top Wild forwards I named scored put together.

Which would you rather have -- 37-year-old Mats Zuccarello for two seasons or 29-year-old Trevor Moore for four, given that they have the same cap hit?

Your characterization of Moore's contract as a bad one is entirely misplaced, particularly alongside Foligno's and Hartman's.

You have entirely reasonable reasons to hang onto Mats, and I completely accept them. Believing that Trevor Moore is in any way inferior to him is not one of them.

Thread: Wild offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lolo205</b></div><div>he's not waiving and wild aren't trading him due to his relationship with Kaprizov. Beside the point, this is pretty much a not good, unserious offer for Gus and or Zuccarello, You're asking wild to also retain which they can't and you're giving up nothing in return but 4th round pick and <strong>Trevor Moore's bad contract</strong></div></div>
I think you should clarify who you had Trevor Moore confused with.

Kaprizov = $9 million
Boldy = $7 million
Eriksson Ek = $5.25 million
Zuccarello = $4.125 million
The only Wild forwards who recorded more points than Moore this season. Moore was +11 (a number exceeded by only Eriksson Ek) and scored more goals than anyone on the Wild not named Kaprizov.
Moore's cap hit is $4.2 million.

The Kings might be interested in Gustavsson, but not at the expense of local boy and fan favorite Trevor Moore.

Thread: I believe in PLD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>Except that PLD's contract is an absolute boat anchor and more a burden than anything marner has now or will get and the combined difference between him and marner and that horrible deal is more than clarke.</div></div>
And so now you want to be intellectually dishonest by moving the goalposts.

Your original statement was the absolute "That trade in no way benefits the leafs." "<strong>No way</strong>." Now you want to shrink backwards to "that trade is bad for the Leafs because they don't get enough value."

Why don't you try to surprise us all, including <a href="/users/Ryminister_92" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Ryminister_92</a>, by occasionally making an intellectually honest, non-homer comment?
