Thread: Need better depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Heiskanen4Vezina</b></div><div>Even Strength TOI/GP:
Roman Polak - 13:52
Justin Braun - 15:18

And in during that time, Braun leads Polak in the following stats:
Points (not that relevant for this discussion)
Corsi For
Expected Goal Share
Expected Goals Against
Relative Corsi For Percentage
Shots Against
On Ice Expected Goals For Percentage

Virtually every stat imaginable shows how abysmal Polak has been this season (and last). You can argue all you want that Braun is a "3rd pair defenseman", but if you're trying to tell me that Polak is even an NHL caliber defenseman then I don't know what to tell you. There's no world where Polak is equal to Braun at this stage in their careers.</div></div>

15 mins still isnt top 4, lol.
Sekera is at 15 mins and he rolls 3rd pair.
On Philly he has the 6th highest minutes of 5v5 meaning there are 5 other dmen that play more than him i.e. 3rd pair.
Top4 is 17ish minutes 5v5

Thread: Need better depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Heiskanen4Vezina</b></div><div>Ty has been in the OHL all season with the Flint Firebirds
Cogliano has a year left on his contract. Janmark doesn't
Kiviranta is a fine bottom-6 two-way forward. He's essentially Janmark but cheaper
Braun is a fringe top-4 defenseman. The other two aren't even NHL-caliber defensemen anymore.</div></div>

Ah, confused last year with this one. Doing well in the OHL isnt anything to get excited about,lol. Robertson put a goal record or something and look at him. Ty still needs time.
Kivi is fast and that's it. Hes Remi Elie and Gemel Smith rewind. Caamano and Robertson are better.
Okay, then both go. Cogliano is the worse forward on this team right now.
Yeah, Braun gets alot of PK time but, he rolls 3rd pair. He hasnt been a top 4 dman in 2 years. Basically letting go of Polak to pick up another Polak.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Heiskanen4Vezina</b></div><div>Where did Cogliano come from? Take a look at the lineup that OP posted. Cogliano is still in the lineup, Janmark is not...meaning that Dellandrea replaces Janmark in this scenario. If we're being completely honest, Dellandrea would be an upgrade over Janmark, Cogliano, and Comeau. He looked fine this preseason and has been arguably the best two-way player in the OHL this year. He's easily a better bottom-6 option than the other players. Want to leave Dellandrea in the AHL for a year first? Fine. Robertson, Kiviranta, and Caamano would all be improvements over Janmark.

Are you seriously going to argue that Polak/Sekera are better than Braun? Go to this link (<a href="https://public.tableau.com/profile/bill.comeau#!/vizhome/SKATR2019-2020/SKATR" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://public.tableau.com/profile/bill.comeau#!/vizhome/SKATR2019-2020/SKATR</a>), plug in the players and compare them. Polak &amp; Sekera are 7th Defensemen AT BEST. Braun is still a top-4 defenseman, and would be a solid short-term option for Dallas.</div></div>

Ty was in Texas this season and he looked awful in preseason,lol. Had he looked good he would be up instead of Dickenson. They have high hopes for Ty.
Letting Cogliano go before Janmark makes more sense.
Kivi sucks, the other two would be good as 4th liners.
Braun,Polak nor Sekera are top 4 dman.

Thread: Arz Scenario Matthews
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ethanives</b></div><div>Ok im seeing what everyone is saying and im gonna take a nicer approach to calling this the dumbest thing ive ever seen. Matthews is a generational talent and im not sure why youre arguing that JT is a franchise center and Matthews isnt. THEY BOTH ARE . If Matthews leaves in Free Agency thats his choice but if Dubas were to shop Matthews for some odd reason and Arizona was interested the package would have to start with either Hayton or Soderstrom. The 2 firsts are fine thats typical but youre also gonna have to add the other one of Soderstrom and Hayton or add a proven roster player like Nick Schmaltz. Also that Hall contract is so dumb its less than hes making right now hes making at least 9 mil</div></div>

6 million.
Who said JT or Matthew's wasnt a franchise player and why are you dorks so hung up on Hayton? Yall really dont know what all is in your pool?
I'm enjoying being told how dumb how I am when alot of yall cant even get little detail things that you try and argue against me with right;usually a good sign theres Homer's about.

Thread: Arz Scenario Matthews
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>And you probably don’t know that either but even if he received the same offer from arizona he will lost millions in endorsements. Toronto is probably the best place in hockey for endorsements contract. It’s like that in mlb, nba to. If matthews end up playibg in Arizona it’s probably be after 35 but before then he won’t leave Toronto.</div></div>


Arizona has plenty of money to pay big sums of endorsements. The owner of U-Haul, Campbell Soup,DriveTime and Go Daddy are there to list a few. Cali and Fl probably have alot more to offer as far as endorsement deals as well than Toronto. No body is rushing over to play for Toronto or any Canadian team because of money, lol, they would come to the states for that.

Thread: Arz Scenario Matthews
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>So you really don’t know about hockey for real. Center is the most important position on offense. Pittsburgh have been solid down the middle and that how you built a team. Toronto have traded nazem kadri because they where deep at center with matthews and tavares. They won’t trade matthews now for a bunch of cksuckers who have not near the impact of matthews have on the game. You are by far the worst gm on this platform if you think that your offer would be enough. And left wing issues is not a big deal. They can adress that in the off season. Finding winger is much more easier then getting a franchise centerman like matthews.</div></div>

Yallre crazy if you think Matthew's is going to stay and that JT isnt a franchise C. LW and C are the easiest positions to replace but, if Tor wanted a youth forward why go C when you already have an abundance. Crouse would be someone they wanted. Soderstrom as a D prospect and hes suppose to be a damn good one. Goligoski for D now . Two first round picks that could be lotto. What other package do you really think any team is going to offer knowing he probably wont stay when his contract expires? 5 first rounders, all of their best prospects and a superstar? Get real.
