Never said that. I said this trade proposal is incredibly unfair and wouldn’t be accepted by the best GM in the NHL.

You implied it when you said "that literally means nothing. Jake Evans is worse than JT Compher. That’s just a fact. Joel Edmunson is older and worse than Girard. That’s just a fact."

Since when is every trade that is made equal value 1 to 1? In todays nhl, cap space is about just as valuable as a #4 Dman. If you haven't realized that by now, god help whatever team you'd be the GM of.

Pitlick wasn’t qualified but sometimes that’s the same as being an RFA. Teams don’t end up paying those guys much most of the time.

Dude. There is a difference between finding cap relief and making ur team ten times worse. If you don’t understand that then you clearly don’t know much about hockey and shouldn’t be talking down to me. I don’t formulate my opinions about the salary cap based on what the clowns in Vegas do.

10x worse that's funny. Good one. Yes you must know soooo much about hockey you can put the exact value on what losing 2 middling players and gaining two more middling players changing scenery does to a team's future outlook. A real clairvoyant you are

Calling Girard middling is hysterical.

Hmmm. Well let me see. There are 6 D on the ice, he is a #4... sooo it sounds like he's right in the middle to me. Does that add up? Maybe I need your help

When you call someone a clairvoyant you have already lost the argument

Yeah he’s behind 3 fantastic defenseman. Doesn’t mean he would be the 4th best d man on every team in the league. That’s a ridiculous comparison.

That's not what a comparison is. That was simply stating the facts. He is a middling Dman on colorado. Point finale.

Good thing I'm not arguing then : )

I've learned long ago that trying to convince some stubborn internet warrior to keep an open mind about a hypothetical trade that will never even happen is utterly pointless. In saying so, farethewell and god help Lou. Lord knows he needs it.

Middling and middle are different

Just a bad proposal. You shouldn’t feel the need to defend something so ridiculous lol.

Not at all what are you, re-writing the english language now too? WTF is going on I guess it's too late. Wow this got out of hand, and fast.

It's not a bad proposal at all, just one that YOU, personally, don't like. And just because you don't agree with it, doesn't make it a bad proposal for everyone else on this website.

Seems like you started arguing with me and now ur bowing out cause you know ur wrong. Calling me an “internet warrior” won’t change that. Not even sure what that is tbh. I don’t know anyone who uses that phrase in conversation lol.

You make it sound like trades are always fair... what world are you from? I would love to live there

Being a middle of the lineup guy reflects your ice time and your opportunity. Girard can play top four minutes and has played top pair minutes in the past.

On the other hand there is no such thing as a middling of the lineup guy. Are you joking or do you not know the difference?

I wonder which comment sounds more argumentative 🤔

Sounds to me like you're still trying to argue... hence the internet warrior comment

You sound like you are this dudes alt rn. Not saying that’s the case but you legit popped up right when he disappeared lol.

I'll take a page out of your book... "I don’t know anyone who uses that phrase in conversation lol."

Guess you haven't been following the nhl very long. UFA and RFA signings are always extremely different. You should educate yourself on them before trying to sound like a know-it-all.

And besides, hoffmans contract is for 2yrs at 4.5m... which is the exact same as Ghostisbeheres when he was traded to ARZ along with a 2nd & 7th rounder. Not to mention both he and Ghost were both pro-rated to put up ~42pts over an 82game pace. So yes, it is actually very likely hoffman gets moved for similar assets in a cap dump trade to a basement dwelling team.

Rem pitlick signed a very cheap deal you're right but go check his shooting % it's not sustainable so don't quote me db numbers
