Thread: PLD MTL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RobbStark003</b></div><div>This guy is 25 and forced his way off two teams. Completely given up on one, playing some of the least inspired hockey. Then his next team, after 1.5 seasons he starts openly talking about playing for another hockey team and trying to force a trade. Has a chance to go to that team, and agrees to a mega contract with LA proving how much he really meant it about Montreal.

I am not touching PLD for the entirety of his career. That guy is a mistake waiting to happen. If his name wasnt French, Habs fans would have never wanted him to begin with.</div></div>

I get all the red flags but he has to know by now that he's on his last legs in this league. I also have faith in Marty to bring the fun back to the sport for him. Plus, he's still a big 2 way player that should be good for 55-60 points a year. Overpaid sure but MTL isn't in cap trouble and the cap is going up. If it's a cheap trade like the one above, I'd take that shot

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Sens would never trade Brady for a 5’8 scorer . That type of deal makes no sense. No Marner, no Caufield , no Fiala , no bratt, no Savoie , no anyone small</div></div>

Give Marner an extension and he's more valuable than Brady by a fair margin

Size is easy to replace and overrated in this league. In this trade scenario for example, say yes to this trade and then draft Lindstrom. You get a scorer that immediately replaces Brady on the top line and you have a future power forward that's the same size as Brady.

Hell I'd even go further in this hypothetical and say you could then just draft Dickinson with 7 and Ottawa is covered, walking away with two giants from the draft while losing little offensive fire power up front in the short term.

Thread: Four trades that probably happen if Marc Bergevin becomes Columbuses GM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RobbStark003</b></div><div>Using the 1st we got for KK and getting Dvorak was pretty rough. But yeah, he was good at trading, just wish he went All in or Rebuilt properly. All in All, he wasnt a bad GM.</div></div>

That was definitely a mistake. His biggest flaw was not realizing the teams direction earlier. Should have traded Gallagher, Tatar and Danault after that dominate season instead of resigning Gallagher and losing the other two. Taken steps to see what Weber and Price wanted with that change of direction and tanked earlier.

Even that can't be laid Soley at his feet though, gotta imagine ownership had some need to win and pushed him to make moves accordingly. Not a complete failure of a GM but definitely left the team better off than he found it, not as good as he could have left it though

Thread: Hughes has a big draft day
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>NJD needs a shutdown dman who can kill penalties at a high level.

Matheson isn’t that.

He’s bad on the PK, he’s a PP specialist who’d be the 4th dman to get PP time in NJD.

And he’s underwhelming at even strength.

Rather bring back Graves</div></div>

NJ has three dmen who were better on the pp than Matheson? Surprised to hear that considering none of them were the one of the 9 guys above him in defense scoring this year.

Also thought you guys had Seigenthanler and Marino as your shut down guys?

I get you would think he's underwhelming 5 on 5 but consider he faced the toughest competition league wide last year and held his own.

If you're looking for a shut down dman, Matheson ain't it. If you're looking for a good #3 guy who moves the puck, skates with the best of them and can qb a pp then Matheson is who you're looking for.

Doesn't match up to your interests though
