Thread: Random Player Generator
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItsEloc</b></div><div>Well if you want to go all "erhm actually", They'd be over the cap.

The process was random position generator (positions were completed in groups i.e. all LW's, all RD's) , random team wheel, then number generator 1-20, then player picked based on highest to lowest cap hit, and then the players were positioned by me to make a somewhat competitive roster.

I'm deeply sorry that I wanted to have fun and create a realistic roster and not a jumbled mess that makes no sense.

My randomness will be more random next time. I'll be better, I promise.</div></div>

No need for the snarkiness, my point wasn't that you tried its that nothing is ever purely random when created by a human being. There will always be some sort of logic or method applied to the selection. I wasn't being a jerk, I was only stating thatyour title doesn't fit since randomness can never be acheived no matter how hard you try. I know the younger generations don't really grasp the importance of vernacularity but one day they will finally get it.

Thread: Helenius to Anaheim
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItsDuckSeason</b></div><div>I read this article. The article starts by saying PV wants a top 6RHW winger and a top 4RHD, which is correct. Somehow the writer comes to a conclusion suggesting Konsta Heleinus is their man because of his gritty style of play and ANA need at RW. Then vaguely says "Multiple sources have spoken to Anaheim’s strong appreciation for Helenius". In no way does this comment suggest ANA is going to pick him. It purely states they like his style of play. I can guarantee you that if PV was asked about any other prospect he would comment saying something similar. I'd love to know who these "Multiple sources" are, they are not listed in the article. The majority of people who are familiar with the Ducks organisation know PV keeps a tight ship, hence no one knew about the Drysdale-Guthier trade and the selection of Leo Carlson over Adam Fantili.

It's made by the Montreal media, therefore it must be accurate, definitely not clickbait promoting the "Cayden Lindstrom going to MTL agenda". In the comments of that article you have someone else bagging the article. Do your research and crosscheck what you write.



The Guhle + MTL pick for ANA pick to move up 1-2 spots. Value wise tipped towards MTL, but as pointed out isn't worth it for ANA. He would become a scratched/ third-string guy on our future team.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Are you suggesting Zegras is worth a MID second and a 3rd pair shutdown defenceman?
Because if you do believe this, you have some problems up top. Have you not learned from everyone suggesting Hughes is a bust, and even Slafkovsky until finally somewhat breaking out this year? What's worse Zegras has been injured all year. When he finally returned he became a PPG player. This accusation of Zegras being horrible defensively has been based on previous years. This year (although the sample size has been small) Zegras has improved his defence drastically. At this stage, you are just picking and choosing the worst attributes of Zegras's game over the past years just so you can offer this horrendous deal.

EDIT: Sorry if I was a bit harsh, I had a bad morning. I didn't mean to sound like an A-hole</div></div>

I think you are confusing me for someone else, I only answered where the OP got his supposed sources from, I even said that it was speculation and not fact. I was defending the Ducks fans POV not supporting the OP's.

Thread: Helenius to Anaheim
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLInsider67</b></div><div>Look at it as 2 separate trades

1. Guhle + MTL pick for ANA pick

2. Barron + 2nd for Zegras (Zegras isn’t worth much more than that imo, he’s severely overrated)</div></div>

Its actually not, the value of trading up 1 spot in the draft is a 2nd round pick, Guhle has way more value than that. You proposal actually breaks down like this Ana 1st for Mon 1st + 2nd - Guhle + Barron for Zegras. Now the value for Zegras is fine but the parts are not, as was stated by a Ducks fan previously they don't need Guhle, so if you take him out of the deal you are gonna have to replace him with another 1st (lottery protected 2025) or someone we dont want to move (Reinbacher, Slafkovsky, Mailloux, ect...) which kills any deal. The problem with a Ducks/Habs trade is we are in similar situations with regards to our rebuilds and our rosters are missing similar peices (top 6 forward or top pairing RD) so trades are gonna be extremely difficult.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>We have Guhle at home his name is Mintyukov, and if you want Zegras it'll take your 6OA pick +, since your opinion is frankly junk.

Lastly, why would we be chasing Helenius? Name your source.</div></div>

Sourse was an article that did a mock draft by Montreal hockey now, they only suggested that the Ducks could go off the board and select Helenius at 4 since he fits what Verbeek described he was looking for this off season (top 6 RS forward or top 4 RHD) the article was just a mock and wasn't based on any specific rumors. They mocked Celebrini, Demidov and Levshunov going top 3 then suggested the Helenius pick

Thread: Happy Birthday Mitch Marner Welcome To The Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>He doesn’t know what he’s talking about marners value will still be very high.

Eichel wanted out of buffalo and was coming back from a back surgery no one thought he could return from. That you would think would be rock bottom value but Buffalo still got a decent haul</div></div>

What are you talking about? Eichel had a surgery that had a long history of success, just no one in hockey had ever had the surgery before. His prognosis was always around 90% that he would return to hockey and 70% that he would return to the high level of hockey he had previously played at. GM's are just old school and none of them want to be the first to allow a player to do something that has never been done before. The risk was really low that he would never play again, like 5% or whatever, the issue was finding the value of where Eichels play level would be prior to the surgery and since no one could know they errored on the side of caution and assumed it was going to be at the level of those who had had fusion surgery before. Buffalo really screwed the pooch not allowing him to have his surgery and decreasing his value that much, they could have gotten a massive haul if they had let him have the surgery and gotten healthy sooner.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Steve_321</b></div><div>That is a fleecing by LAK. Dubois contract is extremely negative value and you are letting them out of it for nothing. Dvorak has a year left. Anderson+ a few picks need to go the other way to balance things out</div></div>

I never understand these types of comments, sure Dubois had the worst season of his career and he hasnt lived up to the contract but we signed Suzuki to almost same deal (only 700k less) after posting similar totals to PLD in his first couple of seasons. PLD didn't forget how to play hockey and will return to form, he is only going on 26 ffs. The objective shouldn't be to fleece another team, if that is how real GM's worked they would be out of a job very quickly since other GM's would not trade with them. The deal has got to work for both sides, you are not getting PLD or any similar center for Anderson + a couple picks
