Oy vey.
I am not calling JT Miller garbage. I’m calling most of the Barron trade proposals back before the TDL garbage. Miller is obviously a very good player. Problem is that he only has one year left on his deal. That hurts his asking price.
A prospect is a player who is in a team’s development system. Byram was a starter on day 1. He’s a rookie, not a prospect. Those are two distinct things. You can consider all rookies prospects, but that just makes you incorrect.
Yeah, Byram would be on the 3rd pairing if Girard were healthy. I’m not sure why you’re saying that as a gotcha. He’s 20 and behind one of, if not the best top 4s in the league. And now with Girard out, he’s been productive in a higher role. On Vancouver, he’s probably on the second pairing and QBing PP2.
I also never mentioned Newhook being the next MacKinnon, you are putting words in my mouth. I’m not sure where that came from. You can go through my post history if you want my take on Newhook, but I’ve been consistent that he’s not a 2C yet.
1. it sounded like you called him garbage, yes there were some bad barron proposals but most people know that he is looking to sign for term once he lands wherever that be.
2. people have called all rookies around me prospects so I more a less picked it up from them, and for that I apologize for not being clear enough.
3. I didn't try to use it as a gotcha, I am saying that his usual deployment would be lower down in the lineup and his value was lower when he was playing lower and in and out of the lineup due to his concussion problems. He would probably be moved to the right side in van and yes QB PP2
4. I never said YOU said that Newhook would be the next Mackinnon, but a good chunck of your ACGM fanbase treated him differently, with some going as far to say that they wouldnt do a 1 for 1. Newhook has been a healthy scratch this playoffs so I doubt that he would bring more value than Miller.
Sorry if I came across harshly, I had no intentions of doing so
