Thread: Three Team Trade PIT OTT ANA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>Pens:
Johnson, Rust, Hallander, 1st, 2nd -for- Rowney, 5th
Hallander, a 1st, a 2nd and Rust just to move Johnson's contract? These things are getting worse and worse every day.

Ana:
Rowney, Eaves (LTIR) - for- Pageau, Rust, 1st
What is Ana getting Pageau, Rust, and a 1st for? They are giving up trash and not even taking cap or the bad contracts... ?

Ott:
Pageau, 5th -for- Johnson, Hallander, Eaves (LTIR), 2nd
I can see getting Hallander and a 2nd to take on bad contracts/LTIR... but why are they giving up Pageau to do it?

You've had some bad AGMs but this one is just WOW. Is it cries for attention? Do you need someone to call someone?</div></div>

This is madness

Thread: ANOTHER Malkin Trade Source WOW
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Arom5477</b></div><div>Value and “who’s better” is completely different.

And I’ll agree that Huberdeau was better than Malkin last year. No argument there. But we both know that <a href="/users/Kakko_to_New_York" target="_blank">@Kakko_to_New_York</a> was insinuating that Huberdeau is just better than Malkin outright.

And Huberdeau had a 90+ point season. That’s outstanding. An outstanding accomplishment. But we can’t just forget that he had never went past 60 points at any other time in his career. That’s a blemish on a player who is “better than Malkin”, when Malkin had a “bad year” and still put up 70+ points.</div></div>

In a sense I agree with you, but I must note that FLA as a team is also worse compared to PIT. That might have had some effect on his numbers.

Ofc this is just pure speculation.

Thread: Search Your Feelings You Know It To Be True
I don't think Minnesota wants Kessel today, to old for their core/direction.

In regards to judging him, as you said he has a loooot of years and months to judge him on. Being in a 5x5 slump for 2 months isn't a reason to move out on a player as established as him. It is a reason to keep an eye on him. I know you said "unless he goes off down the stretch", but frankly even if he just returns to his regular self, its more than enough. Plus while he has had no 5x5 goals he is still racking in assists, and providing good value at 6.8 million (6.8 million does not equal ppg). For a team that seems to be in a never ending search for good wingers, I don't think I'd be too excited to move him...

Trade value-wise isn't bad though. probably slightly overpay on Minnesota's part.
