I mean, he's called people idiots and questioned their intelligence multiple times in this thread, like its right there. And he blocked me because i disagreed with him and continues to take shots at me without addressing me directly. He's a coward.


i won't infringe in other people's disagreements, but I would refrain from doing the same thing you are angry at him for... if you are upset about the name calling, don't name call in return?

you're the one name calling? I'd rather be called "this guy" than a coward...


If he's talking about me, I have him on my ignore list because like what he's doing now, he goes on my ACGMs and trolls everyone. He never provides statistic or anything of proof to support his arguments. Just the "I watched Quick for 2 games and he's so slow so he's a super bad goalie" even though for us Kings fans, we know that he made the best saves of the year list multipul times this year and saw him play magnificently all year except his first month. He's just not worth the bickering. If I were you, I'd add him to your ignore list. I think he might just be the dumbest most annoying Leafs fan on here which is probably a huge honor for him.

you just said that montour is a decent top 4 option... he only dipped on BUF, which as I mentioned I think has much to do with a negative locker room atmosphere.

If you know montours value, whats with overassessing Kapanen.

If you are honest with other players value, why cant you be with your own? I mean hey, if he's worth more to the team just don't trade him.... but in an actual trade, he and montour pull even


a decent top 4 option when he's playing well. He has only really played well as recently as a season ago, so his value is down. Kapanen is younger, has 2 more years of term and will be cheaper. Not to mention he was actually producing at a 2nd line rate (his actual value) this season. Kapanen has significantly higher value when put head to head.

can we not just agree both ways that Iaffalo is a top 6 forward lol...

@Bf3351

i agree with most of the points you've made here, but you do bring up factual discussion a lot, but i don't think you've applied it to this case. Iaffalo is a top 6 forward on 90% of the teams in this league


I haven't provided him with anything because he doesn't want to hear it. I know when I'm wasting my time with someone and that's exactly what I was doing with him.

Try not to burn your city down next time.


Hey, calm down... this is a hockey forum and it's meant for hockey discussion... i'm down to have disagreements over hockey and am not offended even where those get heated...

but to bring something like this up... it's not only unnecessary but way too far.

nah, im good. If he wants to be a coward, he gets called a coward. His go to reaction when anyone disagrees with him is to insult them and then block them when they fire back. If the shoe fits.

i take that as a compliment coming from a leafs fan with 80 posts... my bet is that this is a troll account or an alt of a previously banned account

Looking at the analytics, away from Kopitar, his numbers would go down. Iafallo is not going to play on the top line of most of the teams in the league if you said middle 6 were closer to agreeing, but even then he d be a 3rd liner on at least half the teams. If the Sabres are giving up an unprotected first it wouldnt be for a 40 point middle 6 forward

He's a top 6 winger who could have gotten 50 points this year and most likely will next year as well as a top 4 young dman...


Iafallo is 26 so expecting his production to go up any from where it was this year is asking slot he is more appropriately slotted on a good team.on a third line with the ability to move up due to injuries. He got a lot of the quality minutes with LA this year as they we re greatly lacking up front. As they integrate more of their higher end young talent into the lineup this year I would expect to see his production to slow down and settle in to the 35-40 point player he was last year. Walker is 25 years old and likely also basically a finished product. Which is a nice 3rd pair defenseman. To give up an unprotected first round pick for that is reckless

You dont want to hear it though. Your mind is already made up and I'm not going to waste anymore time on you. Most Buffalo fans I've talked with like the idea of acquiring Iafallo and know he is a top 6 winger. So whether you believe that or not, I really don't care to tell you the truth.


I change my mind often and you have still provided nothing other than name calling

You have made several troll roster posts directly after someone disagreed with you. Like your whole schtick is get angry, insult, call the other person a troll than either block them or make a mocking roster of their team.

he's an upgraded blake coleman. most people call coleman a top 6 guy, even though he might get less minutes on tampa. Point is that he was still sold as a top 6 guy on a good contract. Same story with iaffalo... he's a top 6 guy on a good contract. i think he is more useful on all roles though and has a bit more physical presence.

might be more that you don't like his fit on BUF... which is alright... but LA is selling him rightfully as a top 6 winger

Except you don't know that and can't prove that because he's been playing with Kopitar the whole time. That's just your gut feeling and you haven't watched him so I don't think anyone is going to listen to your gut lol. I have many Kings fans that will say otherwise who actually watch him.

look out, he's going to block you soon and then make another ACGM where buffalo trades Montour for crosby or something because "sabres fans think thats his true value" or something.
and dont hold your breath, he has nothing to back up his claims, he never does. It's just his eye test from the half a dozen games he can remember. thats it

i think your "quick sucks" argument is more about getting this guy stirred up more than being logical. if you want to say that quick sucks this year... sure... but in general, quick does not suck.

reasonableness goes both ways. if you claim he isn't being reasonable, then be reasonable in return... kapanen is overrated and overvalued. don't expect such a massive return for him

oh the quick sucks thing is definelty me getting at him, because it's hilarious to watch him defend the guy because he remembers a few highlight reel saves. But the fact remains is that quick has sucked for about 2 seasons now. It's true. He has not been good, and he is unlikely to be good again.

I mean, im plenty reasonable. But the reasoning has to make sense. Kapanen may seem over valued to you, but he is hilariously undervalued by a significant portion of the people here, and where he isnt undervalued he is often thrown into trades that make no sense for the Leafs. This Montour trade is an example of both.

Kopitar is still a top 15 center in the league, so yes if you take him away from that, his stats arent going to improve
