Rangers - No thanks

make it a 2nd and keep Spooner and CJ would love Belesky in MTL
260 hits his last full season under him and although his cap sucks beyond belief
for a 2nd pick we'd take him on because next time Emelin cheap shots our rookie
i'd love to be able to unleash more then Deslauriers on them :P

Rather save the assets and just sign McDonagh as a UFA when he walks from the Rangers....or whatever team trades for him.

Good. Because it's a 'no thanks' from the Bruins also. Your expectations on a return for McD are absolutely ridiculous. When he does get traded you will probably be underwhelmed with the return for the Rangers.

Ooof ok. Well the point here is that Carlo just isn't very good. He gets demolished by Deangelo in every category. And Bjork just doesn't have a high ceiling at all. But here is what teams can expect to pay based on what teams have already paid:

Last year Shattenkirk gets a 1st + Zach Sanford who started the year as the Blues #2-3 prospect depending on who you ask and a conditional pick that could turn into a 2nd. That was for 3 MONTHS OF PLAY. Going by that logic, why not double that. It'd be the sensible calculation. But we won't because we're being sensible.

Then we have the Keith Yandle deal: a 1st, a 2nd, Duclair (who had 8 points in 18 games at 19), and John Moore, former 1st rounder who is now in the Devils top 4. No one who watches them both will argue that McDonagh is a better all around defensemen. Most of us are basing our deal in this format.

But hey let's look back even further. 2009 a 35 Year Old Chris Pronger gets traded to the Flyers. In return he gets 2 1sts, a 2nd, 25 year old 50 point scorer Jeffrey Lupul, recent 1st round pick that year Luca Sbisa. Pronger was 35. McDonagh isn't Pronger except that he's 7 years younger.

But you guys don't need him anyway, your D is already totally fine.

Lol... What are you basing this off of?


Lol... What are you basing this off of?

You really don't want to sign Stewart. He'll have a good 10 game stretch sometime during the season, but is awful the rest of the time.

Looking at Carlo's numbers that matter here:
relCF% (how much you possess the puck and generate a positive shot differential relative to your teammates and competition): = -3.21 <----terrible possession guy
relxGF% (how good are you at preventing quality shots for your opponents and generating quality shots for your team relative to league teammates/competition) = 0.7


Looking at Tony Deangelo at those same numbers:
relCF% = +6.22 <---- great possession guy
relxGF% = 3.92

Now the crazy part is you'd think that Carlo would look a lot better because he's paired with Krug who is awesome. And you'd think Deangelo would look a lot worse because he's been mainly paired with Marc Staal and Brendan Smith. But what's crazy is that Carlo has looked THAT much worse despite that. Now surely Carlo is going to get a lot better he's only 21, and Deangelo is a savvy veteran at....22. We don't want Carlo at all. Please keep him.


Since Carlo is trash, Bjork would have to be a bonafide high top 6 winger (think like trading for Pasta 3 years ago), and he's not that. And we can actually kind of see that in the numbers already. The best future indicator of scoring is ixGF/60 (how often are you personally generating quality shots that would likely be goals per 60 minutes)- And Pastrnak is in the top 5 on the team every year he's been in the NHL averaging about .7.

Now there's a guy on the Bruins now who averages around .7 this year, and that's Debrusk and then we look down and see Bjork 9 players down the Bruins list at .4. (He's lower than Jordan Szwarz).

This may be the stupidest argument I have ever seen. bawhahahahahahahaha

Yea probably not the greatest player now but an upgrade on the 4th line and can move up or down the lineup better than Acciari

You comparing Deangelo to Carlo really shows your lack of hockey IQ.

Take a drink.
