<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>He literally has taken 1 cheap shot all year and that was the elbow to Seigs…..

You don’t have to like him lmao but all of his hits have been a combination of him being freakishly big and guys having their head down. I don’t know if you know this but hockey is played at full speed

He has 0 intent to injure. Maybe get to know the kid before you make judgements. You can pretty much find a dirty hit made by every player in the league lol

I guess Scheifele is dirty because of his hit on Evans or Makar is dirty because of his hit on McCann or Miles Wood is dirty because of his hit on Namestnikov</div></div>

"only" would make sense if he had more than 100 minutes total.

1 blatantly dirty hit, 3-5 more questionable ones in 100 minutes. (We'll ignore all his suspensions in his pre NHL career for other dirty hits)

For example Tom Wilson has played 11000 minutes. At Rempe's pace that would be 110 blatant suspension worthy hits, and 400 questionable hits.

Thread: Moving On From Bahl
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FireShero</b></div><div>I like Bahl's floor a lot, I see him as a Scott Mayfield player: ideally a bottom pairing physical dman that can step up into top 4 if needed. I'd keep Bahl as long as he is fine with that role and doesn't ask for anything over $3 million a year.

Hattakaa looked good as well, but I think he might clear waivers at the beginning of the year unlike Bahl. So I assume he gets sent down and its Sieg- Hamilton, Hughes -Marino, Bahl -Nemec to start. Maybe they keep him as the 7th, but I'd rather they resign Desimone and try and let Hatakka play in the AHL.</div></div>

He cannot step into a top 4 role. He can barely even play in a bottom pairing role without a top pairing caliber dman like Severson to carry him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>I've already wrote love letters about how Eichel forcing his way out of Buffalo while seeking a surgery that had basically never been done before is a terrible comparison so I'm not sure why youre still using it as a comparable for a Brady trade. Also mentioned that Matthew actively forced his way out of Florida as well whereas Brady is more than happy to stay. We could pretend the scenario behind this trade is he forced his way out but realistically a trade like this would be NJ coming to Staios to see if they could entice him to trade his captain.

Also if Hubie didnt fall off the face off the planet in Calgary I dont think you'd be saying that this was a better return than what went to Calgary for Matthew. Weegs looks amazing and signed long term for 6m. The 10-15 pick difference in the 1sts and the mid round picks changing hands dont make up the difference between Weegs to Marino and Huberdeau to Holtz pre-trade.</div></div>

Rentals are rentals.

You can't credit the long term contract on Weegar while pretending the Long term albatross of Huberdeau doesn't exist.

I don't weight either. Both were rental pieces. The contracts given out after are a separate discussion.

The gap between an immediate 10th overall pick and a Lottery protected pick 3 years down the line is massive.

If you want though we are happy to take Ottawas 2024 1st for a Lottery protected 2027 pick since they're basically the same in your eyes.

Marino is worth as much as Weegar was at that time.

And Holtz+Top 10 pick is more than I'd pay for a rental winger and a protected 1st 3 years down the line.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Zub has much more difficult deployments and has been one of the best defensive Dmen in the league.

Sanderson-Marino would not be anywhere close to Sanderson-Zub this year .

Wrong Nico is overrated. He’s not a top 10 centre .

Tkachuk isn’t worth less.

I like Greig more than Holtz.

There’s a reason Holtz hasn’t been given free reign. He’s not a valuable player</div></div>

Zub played 39.8% of his minutes against elite competition
Marino played 40%.

Marino also had a higher % of his minutes against elite competition last year, and the year before.

per PuckIQ

Zub has had 1 year of good results playing 830 minutes alongside Jake Sanderson.
Marino's most common Partner this year was Kevin Bahl.

If you want to claim Kevin Bahl and Jake Sanderson are similar quality hockey players you can go ahead and do that tho.

Nico Hischier is a better hockey player than Tkachuk at a more valuable position.

Ridley Grieg with less points and goals than Holtz in more ice time. Lower Draft pedigree and upside too.
