Thread: Mehhh
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>To that that contract , it’s not a dump but you’re not getting a big return. Lassi Thomson still has decent potential and a 2nd . A 1st is a lot to pay for an aging player sorry to say. A young Dman that can be put in the lineup right away and a 2nd is more than fair</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>Fair enough. Like I said the only disagreement we have is the pick involved because despite Parayko's contract, he's a lot more valuable than Zaitsev who is a straight cap dump which Parayko isn't...yet. Those last 4 years will be rough though</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>noted</b></div><div>This is where this entire thread should have ended - Parayko is not waiving to go to Ottawa</div></div>

But if he would waive - Blues should probably pull the trigger

Jesus…

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>They don't need to shed cap space. Yes they would like to but not needed. That stated, I dont see Parayko waiving for Ottawa anyway.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I’m just not a fan of Parayko or Weegar because of their age and contracts.

I’d rather the Sens go after a Matt Roy or something</div></div>

This is where this entire thread should have ended - Parayko is not waiving to go to Ottawa<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Yeah, and you would need to rise about 42 levels to reach haul. Nobody asked for a haul. You just put up a comically bad offer, pretended Parayko is a big fat dump... and placed him on your top pairing.</div></div>

Thread: Mortgage The Future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>I didn't really see anything on measuring QoC/QoT. I just fail to see how this can be a sole source of comparison I guess is the best way to put it. I think it generally gives a good view of how a player leans in terms of usage. I just fail to see how it can measure the difference between being on the ice 1/3rd of the time with a McDavid or however many minutes he is and then scale it that way I guess is the best way to put it. I don't think it's any secret that Edmonton scores at a much much higher rate than St. Louis. I just find it hard to really put a percentage value like it does on a defensemans output on the situation and not clearly define it as being a part of the product of surroundings.</div></div>

Sorry the bar chart has spoken. It does not need to be analyzed or questioned; simply look at the bars, they have quantified a numerical value of the players that cannot be debated.

Thread: A Deadline That Actually Makes Sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>I still think Bouchard can get better in his own end. The only issue with the Blues is they need a better veteran to play on the left side of him to help him reach his potential sort of like Chara with McAvoy. With Parayko's cap hit, contract, and him not reaching offensive potential, it seems worth it. Blues have zero young RHD that have potential to be great</div></div>

Yes, He can get better and even become a good defenseman but the disconnect is that the Oilers cant wait for him with Mcdavid and Draisaitl only together another 2 years. If things stay status quo, they are NOT resigning.

The thing I always tell Oilers fans is if you wouldnt trade either of them for any return then why is any other player untouchable on the OIlers. That is essentially a contradiction. You do everything in your power to keep them if we are speaking in good faith terms and that includes dumping potential for quick fixes.
