Thread: kotkaniemi s value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>You are not comprehending what I am saying and just jumping on players names like im trying to debate who is better than who. Its him vs his draft stock at 3rd overall. Hes not living up to that right now so you wont get that value back its a pretty simple concept</div></div>

What do you expect a 3rd overall pick to do? Let's look back, shall we?

Huberdeau 2nd year post draft: 45 points in 30 QMJHL games
Galchenyuk 2nd year post draft: 27 points in 48 NHL Games
Drouin 2nd year post draft: 32 Points in 70 NHL Games
Draisaitl 2nd year post draft: 51 points in 72 NHL games
Dylan Strome 2nd year post draft: 75 points in 35 OHL games
PL Dubois 2nd year post draft: 48 Points in 82 NHL games
Heiskanen 2nd year post draft: 33 Points in 82 NHL games

Also important to factor that Kotkaniemi is younger than all of these guys. I don't know why you expect Kotkaniemi to be lighting up the league at 19

Thread: TB trade who wins
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>MTL could want this to get their offensive star, because no disrespect to KK, Caufield or Suzuki, but I don't think any of them has the potential of being an offensive star. Point is that and will be that for the next decade or so</div></div>

KK has a very respectable rookie season as an 18 year old and Suzuki looked very impressive in his first putting up as good of numbers as Point in his did in his first season. He put up those numbers on a mediocre habs team compared to a much better Tampa team. His IQ is elite in my opinion. Point may be better now but this kid is worth hanging on to. This years pick is going to be a very high one and could land another high potential. Taking into consideration Suzuki’s potential and this stacked draft those two factors are enough for me to not make that trade. Sure Brook didn’t impress too much this season but he was a junior stud and sometimes it takes D a bit of time so I think you let him develop.

Also Tampa is win now just keep Point.

Thread: Nobody on Tampa wants to waive NTC
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptainFlynnt</b></div><div>?? TB would 100% say yes to this. Solves their $$$ issues. They get Suzuki who honestly could replace Point. Like seriously imagine how good Suzuki would be in TB. They get a top 10 draft pick who should be a really good player, and they get Josh Brook too.

This trade would be a disaster for MTL.

Edit:
Point rookie season: 40 pts 68 games.
Suzuki rookie season: 41 pts 71 games.

TB would literally be replacing Point with a younger and cheaper Point ($5.5M in cap savings) while adding a top 10 pick and Brook.

Its brutal.</div></div>

True. I was mostly thinking about Point’s sentimental value, but yeah, it would definitely make sense for them to do this. Also, I thought that was a 2021 1st.
