Thread: Underwhelming for underwhelming
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lowblocksniper</b></div><div>I mean, I'm not calling him a bum he's just not in the top NHL D conversation anymore and despite age I think his value is about equal to last years Norris winner, so I don't think I'm insulting him</div></div>

Well the stats would say otherwise. He is a number 1 on a lot of teams and how you worded it sounds better than it is. Norris winner last year for Chabot... but taking in age, contract into account and the probability he had the one last great season in him? On a team letting him do whatever he wanted with no competition for pp time? These factors matter, and its poor asset management. Minute munchers don't just show up and no dman is perfect so I think accepting Chabot for who he is would help this fanbase imo. He is literally in year 1 of his prime years and Karlsson can fall off the map next year, who knows. This has instant regret trade all over it

Thread: They are inevitable
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>Avs decline the first trade but you have to think they consider the second. It's a huge overpay but it's also Sid.</div></div>

I had it as a whole package just didn't put them together. Still. Tons going out of Colorado and Crosby would control everything, maybe pens have less leverage and its an overpay. Who cares lol. But I just want to see Crosby and Mackinnon for 2 playoff runs. Be a huge win for the league, seeing a giant name move cities. Fans would hate it, hate them for being a super team, other fans would love the story. It would be incredible talking points for a year

And as much as pens fans might be super sad/mad, they get great pieces to keep or flip to build out their team. And who knows, maybe Sid signs back after his contract is done? Retire as a penguin. That's the ultimate payback, not that he owes the pens anything

Thread: Toughness
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>The meier trade is as good of a comp for brady as you'll EVER find.

2 physical, "grit", "intangibles" wingers with virtually identical production in the 2 years prior to being traded, with similar contractual costs (Meier 3 mill+8.8x4=38.2 mill over 5 years, Brady 8.2x5=41 mill over 5 years)</div></div>

Meier is a complimentary player. He was thought to be a driver. I thought Devils overpaid BUT, it was a good overpay because he should compliment Hughes, hasn't happened. Mukhamadullin was so underrated as a prospect. But hey revisionist history. I am still a big fan, though.

Even last year Tkachuk would have more value. He impacts the game more at a younger age. More physical, leader and intangibles. If you don't like it and call it bias, fine. But it's true

I didn't say he'd be a 915, I think he's average, 905.

Thanks. I don't think he will be 915 either, I think average so 905. Keep in mind, Columbus was not good until torts got there, played awesome in the leafs series. He played amazing in front of the kings who played a structured game. Comes to Ottawa, shocker he got shelled. The chances he faced were insane in the 1st half. It looked to me he felt like he had to bail his team out, tried even harder and made his problems worse.

Maybe I'm just optimistic, but if the sens put a detailed team in front of him, he's going to be good. Who's to say saros doesn't get here and go holy hell what are these chances haha. Demko was 'awful' last year. Coaching change, team played differently, 2nd half was better. This year denko is a Vezina candidate. Not saying korpi will be that, just how having a detailed team plays a big role
