Thread: How much does BUF add
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CeciGOAT</b></div><div>No that’s not what I’m saying. I’m not talking about after his 40 goal season. I’m talking about this offseason that just passed. Mike Hoffman coming of 36 and 29 (shortened season) goal seasons just signed for 1x4m. He took a pay cut because no one was offering him big money and term. Skinner is coming off a terrible year, do you think the same teams that wouldn’t offer mike Hoffman 5 or 6 million would give 6.5 x 7 to skinner after a terrible season?</div></div>

When they signed matters. Revenue was going up when skinner signed his 9M (we all agree it was too high). Had Hoffman had that same season without covid, no way he’s signing a one year deal. That’s my point. If your saying in order to trade him at 6.5, I can see your point. Gonna be tough if Ralph keeps playing him with plugs.

Thread: Leafs aint ready
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CeciGOAT</b></div><div>Honestly some of the lineup changes are head scratchers but atleast keefe is willing to make changes unlike babcock. I would put hyman on the first line and Robertson on the second . Bogosion was brought in because he’s tough no other reason honestly.

What do you thing was the main reason mtl declined last year. Was it mainly price having an off season or was it on the forwards?</div></div>

Honestly, I think it was the team play. It seemed like we were giving up 5 or 6 odd man rushes a game. I think CJ wanted the D to get more involved in the play and as a result there were too many I'll timed pinches or the forwards weren't covering for the D on the cycle or the puck was being turned over in the neutral zone. We ended up top 5 in shots against, odd man rushes against and high danger shots against. You can't win with those kinds of stats. It showed in the game scores too as we ended up losing the most games by 1 goal at something like 21 one goal losses.

a couple injuries, a sophomore slum for KK who we placed as our 3rd C (he had gained 20lbs of muscle in the offseason... but he couldn't skate at his new weight) and finally having Domi not finding his game. A lot of players underperformed. Also, we had no backup... Kinkaid was a swiss cheese meaning we had to overuse Price.

Thread: Flames side dubois
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CeciGOAT</b></div><div>Ya I get that he’s a centre and that’s what they need. However he’s coming off a down year so I think the return is underwhelming. If he bounces back maybe the trade is close next year.</div></div>
I mean Dubois didn’t exactly do too hot this year either. He only had one more point than Monahan, and 4 less goals. Monahan had a better first 3 years in the league than Dubois has had too. The only reason the Flames would be adding is because Dubois is better defensively and younger, but Monahan still has 3 years left on an affordable contract (and is only 26, that’s not old at all), plus PLD will demand a hefty raise after this is done (QO higher than Monahan’s current deal). Goals talk too, and Monahan already has three 30+ goal seasons. I really don’t think PLD is worth as much as people on here seem to think he is. He’s an okay 1C, wouldn’t call him close to top 15 really. Would he be an upgrade on Monahan? Yes defensively, but maybe not offensively. Flames add, but not a whole lot. He’s also not worth some of the other absurd packages I’ve seen, like Laine+Roslovic (usually with the Jets adding more for some reason lol). As mentioned by someone else, this is also the best deal CBJ is likely to get that includes a quality centre, and one with proven goal-scoring experience, in return. I honestly think CBJ would be adding if they tried to get Laine, 50 goal guys are more rare than 60 point centres (generous, as he’s hit that only once, barely) and most other offers are futures only.
