Thread: PLD Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>So is cat though. We look stupid if he's really that 40+ per year goal scorer consistently (and I think he is). Eddy O said it best last night. Debrincat scored 41 goals when the hawks roster was more complete, last year and likley this year thi sroster has lots of holes and because of that Debrincat has to do a lot more of the little things to try to compensate. I really believe weve got an elite goal scorer in debrincat when we fill this roster out a bit more. I'm not against trading him, but only if its for 40 goal scorer value. If cat is a 30-40 goal scorer every year he's worth proabably pretty close to equal what dubois is worth</div></div>

All the same, Kubalik scored 30 goals in his first year in only 68 games (36 goals in a full season), easily exceeding Cat's first year, albeit being older then Cat. I prefer kubalik's game personally as he is bigger, stronger and more complete at both ends. Cat is fast, and has amazing drive and his game today, is more built for the NHL, but his size is a major concern and his defense as such suffers greatly for it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>Stromes status as a 2C is debatable, and DeBrincat really needs a bounce back year to live up to that billing. All in all if I were CBJ I would reject, even on paper.</div></div>

Strome being 23 years old, did well at 2C since joining the Hawks. Is he a great 2C? No but Hawks believe he can be a very good 2C and there's no reason to think otherwise. He's not a 1C which is the position he's being forced into right now.

Cat had one down year after a 28 and 41 goal season. Wouldn't make sense to write him off as not one of the best young snipers in the game when you look at his body of work.

Again, depending on needs of CBJ, if they need a young sniper then I don't see why they wouldn't grab one of the best along with a 2C for a guy that doesn't want to play in Columbus.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>keep_ups12</b></div><div>yea I can tell you didn't watch the game and you just looked at the statistics



no. There was so many turnovers he created and every time Montreal had the puck in the leafs zone while Holl was on the ice, they would get endless point shots. Letting another team kill you with shots is not "covering"



you probably should have. Andersen was playing good when Holl was on the ice for some reason



Holl isn't suppose to be much value in this trade. Just suppose to be for cap so that this trade can work. theres also SDA who has middle 6 potential. We can mix the trade up and add more quality pieces if you like</div></div>

Right, which especially with retention, Murphy would be a 1st and SDA; again Holl only being a dump as far as the Hawks are concerned if they can't flip him for 3rd rounder or so.
