Thread: Greatest show on ice

Gee, I don't know, to me, 0.73 PPG is more useful than 0.6 PPG or 0.54 PPG, especially when the 0.6 PPG is over a sample of 263 games.

The only Sabres forwards who have a higher PPG are Alex Tuch and Tage Thompson. But maybe I'm wrong, and Dylan Cozens and Jack Quinn <strong>aren't</strong> very useful.

And before we get into a discussion about Zegras' perceived defensive shortcomings, allow me to point out that Rasmus Dahlin is -75 for his career.

(Full disclosure: it wouldn't <strong>occur</strong> to me to claim that Zegras has anywhere near the same worth as RD.)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlimTJ100</b></div><div>Ooooh a tough guy 😳
I really don’t know what you mean. Jake Muzzin hasn’t been relevant in years

I think I’d move on to other things after this conversation tho. Schneider and first is a lot. Don’t push people away or anything, and you’ll get nada except 35-40 meaningless goals next year too. Lucky you. Maybe you want your goalies facing 50 shots a night idk</div></div>
You act like YOU are doing US a favor by taking our best scorer off our hands. No, no, no, no, no. We are giving YOU what YOU think is the missing piece that's going to get you over the top, in return for a guy who, however good he is or how high his future ceiling may be, is third on your depth chart at RhD and unlikely to rise higher as long as Fox and Trouba are healthy. As you yourself admit in this ACGM, Schneider is expendable.

If Muzzin is too far in the past to be relevant to you, fine, look at the Lindholm and Monahan trades this calendar year. If a valuable player on an expiring contract is worth a first, then a valuable player who has a whole 'nother season on his deal and thus two playoff runs for you should be worth substantially more. I may be ambitious in wanting Schneider as well as the first, or even greedy as my esteemed colleague <a href="/users/jded" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@jded</a> says, but I think that the point is still valid.

Thread: Since Nylander is now signed The apparent fix is trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BillytheKid3</b></div><div>Good points.

I don't know if the cap situation works for any team here. They're all adding 7 mil so they would need to make additional chemistry destroying moves.

Marner is anchored on that deal mid-season unfortunately.</div></div>

All trades were bad and did not consider cap hits. Last year on this site and on Sportsnet I saw many trades like this suggesting like it was the best fix all and they involved Nylander or Marner.

This is meant as a joke ie the description and to prove that way more is needed to even consider trading marner or Nylander.

In the offseason, reports said Tre listened to offers for Nylander but none involved both a forward and potential high end D to make is worth it to even listed. None even involved a high end D one for one.
Hence why is wait to resign
