Thread: Is Pettersson still available
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Imagine874859</b></div><div>I mean we've seen what Pearson does under Sully, be wasnt great. Dickinson is a solid bottom 6 guy that could be moved at the deadline or even flipped. I would mind a prospect and picks in return but I assume we'd have to take back some sort of cap</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KMMHL2012</b></div><div>in case you forgot, Pitts traded for Pearson from LA a few years back, he had no chemistry on that team, and they flipped him 3 months later to Vancouver, so, yeah, can't see them wanting to take another stab at Pearson, Dickinson is clearly not an upgrade, but Pearson is definitely not on Pitts radar</div></div>

Yeah - not a Pens fans so all I saw was the line. Definitely not great (I think it was 9-5-14 in 44 GP?) but somehow nearly double the pace of Dickinson!

But obviously y'all were following much closer than me back then and I'll gladly defer to your first-hand knowledge that Pearson wouldn't be a fit.

Thread: Im not a Habs fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KMMHL2012</b></div><div>Of course Ottawa doesn't want them, because Melnyk doesn't want to pay anybody.

All those players being traded there aren't more than depth players, which is why they serve as a move being done, my presumption is that people ship to Ottawa solely because they have cap room, I usually just gloss over it as a "trade it anywhere for anything" rather than assuming that Ottawa legitimately wants these players.

As a habs fan, I watch the Mantha, Laine, and now Kane trades and everyone is "it's Suzuki, Caufield +++" get out of here, none of that is happening, this is the internet, where people literally come and know nothing about being a GM, and most people are homers and overvalue all of their players.

take everything here with a grain of salt.. or just add those idiots to the ignore list.</div></div>

You’re right some just pick Ottawa out of a hat, but then there’s others who give laughable reasons it’s a great trade, those are the ones I’m referring to.

Thread: Back to back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KMMHL2012</b></div><div>oh, yeah reading is hard, i forgot, here's the context for you.





1: dude says Chevy likes holding picks
2: I demonstrate he doesn't like holding picks
3: you get confused.
4: i have to explain it in point form

so, the claim was patently false, as Chevy consistently trades picks rather than roster players

<a href="http://www.nhltradetracker.com/user/trade_list_by_GM/Kevin_Cheveldayoff/94" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.nhltradetracker.com/user/trade_list_by_GM/Kevin_Cheveldayoff/94</a></div></div>

Ah sorry, phrased that wrong, should of said he prefers to trade good picks like 1sts for rentals
(see Stastny/Hayes trades for example), quality players with term or RFA status like Sergachev he rarely seems to trade for which as a fan I find really frustrating.

I wish Chevy would make a trade like this but his track record says he likely won't, yeah I know he's traded picks for RFA's like Morrow and Beaulieu but those guys weren't Sergachev level talents.

Thread: Interesting or no
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KMMHL2012</b></div><div>it's nothing like Marleau.

Marleau had to be moved for the leafs to be cap compliant otherwise they suffer a penalty or couldn't ice their roster.

you're comparing apples to Volkswagens.

Toews is 32, Stastny is 34... if Winnipeg went to get Stastny to be a 2C with 1 year left, then they believe certain players can play until 35 years of age (Don't forget 2 years ago they tried to sign him in FA)... which Toews would be at the end of the current contract.

cap retention is only to help make the move go through, as 10.5 is a lot, but Winnipeg or any team trading for him don't care about the 10.5, they care about the cap hit and salary related to the player they are getting.

I disagree with your assessment, Sure, Toews may not be a 30 goal 1C anymore, but he's a 20 goal 70 point 2C who brings experience, locker room leadership on top of his talent and skill, and you're discounting that as though he's some 4th line overpaid scrub.

so what would you give for a 20 goal, 70 point 2C?... if your answer is Stastny... then you're clearly letting your hometown bias affect this.</div></div>

This guy has to be trolling
