Thread: Average Cap Hit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HtotheBtotheM</b></div><div>This team would not make it far in the playoffs, unlike NYI they lack a game breaking talent, or even a single all star forward. Every game would be 1-0 for either team. Not sure why you have such a hard on for those goalies in particular, Shesterkin and Grubauer are excellent goaltenders, Shesterkin having a small sample size but ridiculously good results, and Grubauer having some of the best, consistent results from any goalie across the last 5 years. Binnington's overpaid, but the other two are simply better than Demko, whos played 72 nhl games has only slightly above average results, and Saros, who by no measure is above either Grubauer and Saros (though also not worse).</div></div>

Shsterkin has had great results, yes, but small sample size. probably will be worth the contract

Grub on the other hand, has not played on a non cup contenting team in his career. He is a solid goalie but shouldn't be held in the same breath as the top guys

Sarros had a .927 on a not great predetors squad. Demko had a .915 on a team with some of the worst defense I have ever seen. You put gru in those situations, i think is save% goes down to .910.

Sarros and Demko are two of the best young goaltenders in the league on absolute steals of a contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenXHockey</b></div><div>Most of this is correct. But what you got wrong you got really wrong. Barzal Matthews one for one is a joke. What part of Matthews game doesn’t fit? Is it the amazing pile of goals or great defensive game?</div></div>

Well the way i see it matthews vs barzal are 2 conpletley different players
Matthews is a oure goal scorer. However, guys like him excell wt a guy like marner or nylander. Who would be that guy for matthews on nyi? Lee? Not ryll. I think on nyi matthews would produce at a 40 goal rate as compared to 50/60 on toronto. A player like matthews in my eyes wouldnt be valued as high in nyi. Nyi is all about the system trotz has
Barzal plays as that playmaker. Mathews+barzal would be incredible. I think barzal is a 100 point player on any other team.
The way i see it is you are trading one of the top u25 playmakers for a top u25 goal scorer. I think its a lateral move for both teams rather than an improvement.
This goes back to my playing days but i prefer pass first vs shoot first

Say what u want about playoff success but the bottom line is Barzal has been on a team that has made it to the ECf and beat teams better than them on paper. Matthews… well lets not bear a dead horse.

Obviously im a bit biased but as an islanders fan i would not want barzal traded for matthews. Call me crazy. I know i am a bit crazy.

Well I needed a good laugh today

WHAT IS THAT NYI TRADE. NYI would value barzal pretty close to matthews and you want them to give up a 1st AND Dobson for and additional tj brodie??? What in the world are you on? Tj Brodie would be a good fit in NYI but i don't think Matthews would work in NYI system. Also I dont think NYI would do matthews for Barzal 1 for 1

How do you plan on signing Pulock for 6.4 exactly? NYI will defiantly offer a 7X8 or even 8X8 for him

Spezza is 38 currently... you want a 40 yr old Jason Spezza on the team??

Out of the big 3 10+ mill contracts why would you pick Tavares to Keep????

Flames would match the OS

Dubas will hand Holl 5+ mill with the market for dman currently

And the leafs still have no goalie.

Good to know that even in cap friendly fantasy land the leafs still don't make it past the 1st round
