Thread: Playoffs for Eichel
I would not give up this year's 1st for Hertl unless we drop back a few spots because of the lottery. Having his 3rd knee surgery in 7 years and missing 1/2 of 3 seasons because of the injuries would be risky. When healthy he's great, but you have to wonder if he's going to slow down from the damage to his knees. Also, only two years left before he needs a new/ bigger contract. Building for the long term with the pick is a better idea. Besides, pretty sure we're not on his 3 team trade list.

Not adding a 2nd in the JP trade. A 2nd or TT. If they want a 6th or 7th, then perhaps. Edm is dealing a guy that they don't want and that doesn't want to play there. That should lower the return a bit.

Would rather sign a guy like Dillon than resign Montour. Don't want to ask a RD to play LD again.

Thread: 3 way NJ COL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>what? he had a 47.0% CF%, 47.4% FF% and an even wors expected goals against%. You also realise PDO isnt player controlled right? It's simply a tool to measure, for lack of a better term, luck. a 100 PDO basically means that they were neutral in luck (its shooting% + Save %) and anything over 100 is 'good' luck and anything under is 'bad' luck. So, you're basically arguing that Zadorov was benefiting from a higher than average on ice shooting percentage and/or save percentage.
as far as hits, lol, yeah that's an utterly meaningless number and no one who knows anything about stat cares about that.

You should really understand what stats mean before you use them</div></div>

Over 50% for both at EV. And both goalies had a higher SV% when Zadorov was on the ice short handed. Also he was on the ice for the 4th best SV% among the dmen on the team, which puts him right around the 2nd pairing that I inferred to originally. If you think PDO is just luck, then I don't know what to tell you.

Thread: Some retooling with slightly different trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RawZuccSauce420</b></div><div>
I don't think that Kane is worth more than Nylander either tbh. I definitely think Nylander would be a much better fit in SJ, but I'm not sure if the Leafs would ever contemplate trading Nylander. Nylander is also 4 years younger with a much higher ceiling which than Kane. I would LOVE to have this trade done, but I don't think Toronto would go through with it.</div></div>

Does Nylander add anything to the Leafs that they don't have in the other guys? Kane definitely adds a different element that they loss when they traded Kadri away. The age thing isn't a big issue to me, because 4 of the top 6 are still 25 or under with JT the only other guy approaching 30.
Being a Sabres fan, I would much more rather face Nylander than Kane and wouldn't think twice about it.

Thread: Some retooling with slightly different trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RawZuccSauce420</b></div><div>Sorry, I have to disagree here. Kapanen ≠ Labanc 1 for 1. Kapanen is better. Also it has to be him or Sorensen because I'm tired of both of them and they both need a change of scenery. I'm also not sure SJS would be willing to trade top 6 talent (Meier, Couture, Hertl, Kane) because we're already so short on high end offense. Toronto would never trade Nylander and Kapanen for Kane, Sorensen and picks I don't think. If you wanted that trade to have a chance of going through, you'd probably have to change the 2nd to a 1st rounder.</div></div>

Kapanen 202 gp 41g 49a
Labanc 284 gp 50g 99a

Labanc has better PP numbers and has better playoff numbers while Kapanen has better PK ability.

Also, Kane is more valuable than Nylander, but Nylander may be a better fit long term in SJ than Kane would. Especially with the team being older up front and Toronto being relatively younger.
