Thread: Controversial Trade Ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheGoalieGuru</b></div><div>You are filling Burns hole with an ELC. Fast is no longer worth that cap hit either. You can pay both Necas, Jarvis, and resign Guentzel by moving Burns and Fast. Having Freddie and Demko is clearly the better tandem to start with and even if you want to save a bit more, trade Freddie. He’s no liability and a team may be looking to add a veteran for a tandem.</div></div>

Morrow's already filling the hole left by Pesce, there's not another RD in the organization ready for NHL time, so they can't replace Burns internally, and Fast is worth the cap hit. They can pay all three of Jarvis, Necas and Guentzel without moving Burns and Fast. Freddie/Kochetkov makes more sense for the coming year since both Demko and Freddie have long injury histories. No reason for Carolina to touch this

You're right, it's actually about 3 metrics, and the most important three in xGF/60, xGA/60, and xG%. Not to mention, Necas is 5 years younger, and comes with team control where Buchnevich is a rental. There's not a single reason why Buch should be worth more than Necas.

Thread: The impossible
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qwertymann</b></div><div>You're just cherry picking stats, my dude. The way you're talking I presume also watched all 95 Canucks games this year? If KK is so amazing, keep him. I have zero idea why anyone has interest in him unless they are being paid to take him and there is retention. He simply is not a ~5m player. Necas' camp wants out of CAR... that doesnt help his value.</div></div>

Necas doesn't want out of Carolina, he wants topline minutes. There's a reason he's been very open about coming back.

I'm more than happy keeping KK. He's a fine 4.5 million player. His production waivers, but the way you're talking, I'm assuming you watched all 93 Canes games? Kotkaniemi had a season worth his contrat, he just couldn't get the puck to go in

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caerii</b></div><div>That site does not list the line in positional order, it just lists the players

For comparison sake, you can look at Joel Eriksson Ek's page here:
https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/players/joel-eriksson-ek

Where he's only in the middle in like 3/9 top line combinations, but I assure you he has never played anything but center in his life

This is why I question if that poster is actually a Hurricanes fan, or even watches any of their games.</div></div>

JEEK has a tendency to get drawn into the boards, and it lists them by most time spent in what area. If JEEK spends most of the game on the wing, he'll be listed as a winger. It's almost like taking draws isn't what makes you a center in the NHL...
