Thread: Habs needs to pay big for Keller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PenguinMullet68</b></div><div>Ok Mr. journalism Professor you may know more about punctuation but you know **** about building hockey team because you don’t trade that much for a guy who is the “most marketable “ when your team is in the middle of a rebuild and you want to trade for a player that is a difference maker and is clutch when it matters the most but hey you want someone who can sell tickets go ahead because Montreal routinely sells out the cathedral like Bell centre and it’s 20,000+ seats during a rebuild so no need to do that in Montreal LoL
Must be an American to think this will help you win in the NHL LoL</div></div>

Ya, that was unreadable so I didn't bother, with the exception of the last sentence.

Never did I mention winning. The NHL is a business, and Utah will need a face of the franchise rather than picks and prospects. Full stop.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PenguinMullet68</b></div><div>Reinbacher isn’t just a “ good prospect” he’s above that and 2 1sts are still 2 1sts no matter how you want to down play their value as both combined would get pick 10-14 which is going to be a good player but he is a 86 point player tops and only done that once so we aren’t talking like Tkachuk level or even JT Miller, he’s good but not great and on a killer cap hit but I wouldn’t trade Reinbacher and 2 1sts when Montreal is still rebuilding
I would trade one of their young defenseman that is on the active roster with Lane Hutson making one of Harris or Ghulie expendable</div></div>

1. buddy, punctuation is your friend - that was a tough read.
2. look at it from Utah's perspective. do you think they want to be marketing draft picks, or do you think they want to be marketing their star winger whos a point per game player? it's a business. If Keller was on an established team that needs to keep accumulating young players and draft capital - sure. i just don't think it works for Utah.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>after losing one argument you keeping trying to jump to the next to prove you are wrong again.
What's a matter, can't defend your hot take on the penguins HBK line and how Crosby didn't carry the team?
Some feckless argument about "high level player" not working so we drag on to this poor one too.

If it was so easy to win the game from the blue line, why did OTT get sent home packing by a penguins team with literally no blue line.
They had the greatest defenseman leading them in EK in his prime.
Funny how you really can't account for the fact that 7/10 of those teams up there running a legit franchise level forward. Hell you don't even want to recognize that. You'd have to admit that this "strange" coincidence in hockey history that the majority of cup winning teams have a franchise level forwards. I mean how weird right? What are the odds?

Fact is most of those cup winners, if any, didn't have a franchise level defenseman.
They had one that was good enough. We can clearly say they aren't of the franchise level of player like an EK was.

But there is a pretty clear history of having a franchise goal scorer. Funny how goals win games in the end eh?

You just can't admit it. But it's just like CD says up top. DAL been a favorite for years....they didn't get it done.

Always run into the team with higher end talent. But you want to talk about how McDavid can't get it done. Please.

You are just wrong. The evidence is there in every draft. Because centers are the 1st thing off that board when all talent levels are equal.
A franchise forward is a faster route to the cup than any defenseman will ever be. The past cup winners show this repeatedly.

DAL yeah has a good team. But they don't have a single high end talent forward who scares anyone. But MacDavid and MacKinnon will put teams on their heels.
Ain't no team changing how they play for a franchise defenseman. But you gonna play back on McDavid or you are going to get burned.
But keep thinking you are going to win from the blue line.</div></div>

my hot take of depth is important? is someone having a rough day?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>it's clear you didn't. Or are we suppose to believe Jakes 23 goals in 37 playoff games in two years are because he was on the 3rd line.... but hey maybe that's why Crosby won the MVP and had 46 points in those two playoff series right?

You sound like a clown when you make such bad comments. Everyone knows which line carried the team. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

I have already stated this, heiskanen is a franchise player, but you aren't going to win with a franchise defenseman and not the goal scorer forward that teams need. It's just to hard to win from the blueline without the forward help. This is why teams start with centers not defensemen. The only defenseman in your life who's even looked remotely capable of that was EK, and he didn't get it done.
heiskanen is no EK in his prime so that's a dead argument.
As much as you want to say Robertson is a FP because he had 1 season of 100 points doesn't mean he is. Is he a good 1st line player, sure he is. But there is difference between being a good player and a franchise player and you know that. It's like saying you would swap him with Pasta....you wouldn't and we both know it.</div></div>

oh this is fun - go through those past stanley cup winners in the cup era. with a couple exceptions (mostly pittsburgh because i'm not a huge letang fan), it's a true all situation #1 d man. it seems more important than the goal scorer, and pretty significantly so.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>Pit didn't rely on HBK in the playoffs, FFS the crosby line carried the team. With a weak as hell defense being dragged along.
Litterally every team listed there was carried by their top line. Saying something like "surprise good teams have a star player" while looking at DAL and noticing they don't really have that guy, and saying they got a deep team so odds in their favor is just BS to start.
This is the whole point here. You better have that guy who can put the team on his back and cut a team up. That's what makes teams dangerous. DAL ain't got it. Deep team, sure, have a chance sure, it's the playoffs.... But they aren't the most dangerous team here.</div></div>

i'm starting to wonder if you watch these games....

as for dallas - robertson had 109 points last season with 46 goals. heiskanen is a stud. they've got two other 30+ goal scorers. they've got the top end guys. it's helpful that their entire lineup plays a winning brand of hockey.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>there are way more example of teams winning with star power than depth. Which is why every team wants that star player.

Last 10 Stanley cups.
VGK -
COL - MacKinnon
TB - Kuch
TB - Kuch
STL -
WSH - OV
PIT - Crosby
PIT - Crosby
CHI - Kane
LAK

Go round and round on it all you like. 7/10 of the last 10 teams had a legit Franchise player.
You need a guy who can put a team on his back and carve up other teams.
You look at DAL, they don't have that guy. Yeah, it's possible they could win...... but you seriously under estimate the power of a star player to tilt the ice.
You can look at those team up there and they were not the "deeper" team in the playoffs. Hell that PIT team had make shift blue line of Ron Hainsey, it didn't matter.
When you got a Crosby and a Malkin, it goes a long freaking way.
So yeah DAL has a deeper team. But there is no body on DAL who can drag DAL kicking and screaming like McDavid can.
That's the point.
Don't get caught on the wrong end of McDavid on a tear or you'll be out. Because he has just enough help to win. That's what it boils down to. A team like DAL needs to be deep, EDM don't, COL don't.
They can have their stars carry them.</div></div>

oh, good teams have a star player? i'm shocked! with the exception of maybe pittsburgh (and that's a reach), all those teams won with really good depth. Tampa, the gourde line. Heck, even Pittsburgh relied pretty heavily on the bonino, hagelin, kessel line.
