Thread: Most annoying traded players 4
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bill_Karsen</b></div><div>I agree Kase can be good, or will be good but His numbers are pretty below average. Granted on mostly bad teams but they are what they are, bad. He can still have a breakout year and build on it from there but that’s not guaranteed.

All the trade proposals are picked at random. Braun in his prime for Kase might have made some sense but Braun now isn’t worth much. Brauns numbers in SJ were inflated by the expert defense of Vlasic. Kase is worth more than Braun but I personally wouldn’t give more than a 2nd round pick and a B prospect for Kase. I see him as a Kevin Labanc lite.</div></div>

I think a 2nd + B prospect is fair value for Kase. I just don't think it makes sense to move him for that. Most proposed deals for Kase fall into the same category. Is it fair value? Yeah, probably. Is it worth doing? Nah, definitely not. Like I said, Kase is moveable, but the deal has to make sense. For me personally, I'd consider moving him for a young D-man with high upside that is struggling to put it all together i.e. another Guhle type. I don't think much else makes sense.

Thread: Most annoying traded players 4
He's absolutely overhyped by ANA fans, just like Manson is. The problem with Kase is that when he's on he's super dynamic and can score on his own. The problem is that he's inconsistent and CONSTANTLY injured. I guess the fear is that he ends up going to a contender and blowing up. He's only just entering his prime years and could be an extremely fruitful 2nd line winger, even if he misses 20 games a season due to injury.

In terms of us rejecting the offers on here, most have been pretty terrible or include some of our coveted prospects i.e. Steel, Terry, Comtois. Kase is absolutely moveable, but not for some 1 season wonder or ageing players. I will assume that your proposal of Braun for Kase is just to have this conversation. If not and its a serious offer, then you've only gone and demonstrated why we are rejecting the offers on here. A 32 year old D-man well past his prime does nothing for a team that is mid-rebuild and likely won't be a contender for the next 2-3 seasons.

Kane has one fewer point than your top scorer and more goals than anyone on the islanders. We have six guys with at least 20 points, your team has four. Did you bother looking up stats or do you just pull your banality arbitrarily out of your asshole when you are bored?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bill_Karsen</b></div><div>Wouldn’t Blake love the guys he can to make room for more prospects. It’s going to be real hard to move Brown and Carter, possibly even Forbort with his recent injuries. Id expect moving Clifford would be really ideal right now.</div></div>

Blake is gonna move some guys, absolutely. I think Hutton, LaDue, Ryan, Forbort, Lewis for sure. Maybe Clifford, Campbell, Martinez, Toffoli and even Carter. They’ve said they won’t trade Kopi Or Doughty. Brown, Quick would be hard to deal with their contracts and everyone else is young. I just think being that they have so many up and comers they may keep some of the vets around to help that transition. They won’t just give guys away for say a 6th unless they know for a fact that guy is not or does not wanna be back.
