Quoting: Shakabakes
Let me guess: Chychrun and a 1st for Lias and Brendan Smith?
If anything, this trade isn't enough for the Yotes to give up Chychrun. Not vice versa.
I would like the Rangers to come up on top for every trade they pull off, just as much as other Ranger fans. But you overvalue every single trade I ever see you post on.
Even if it's a decent trade, 99.2% of your responses are either "Quick Decline", or to add some extra ridiculous piece to unrealistically sway the trade in the Rangers favor.
Even i know this trade probably wouldn't happen. But considering the sweetheart Contract that Chychrun has, it would take a massive overpay to pry him out of Arizona. Considering the proposal doesn't include Kakko, Fox, 1st OA, K'Andre, Lundkvist or Kravtsov...I don't think it's the Rangers who would be declining.
Well I apologize if you don't like the tone.
I'm just using the on-ice values to make informed decisions and evaluations.
For example when I said Deangelo>Chychrun, it wasn't just an opinion, it was the data:
I'm not really using whatever consensus values people try and come up with here as my basis because frankly they're often wrong, and poorly informed. I'm using the data and controlling for factors such as linemates, defensive scheme, usage and fluky things like PDO/Sh%.
If that feels wildly different than the valuations on here, it's probably because a player is much more or much less valuable in real life on the ice than they are among this forum.
