Thread: Pietrangelo or parayko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>STLBlues17</b></div><div>Parayko took Pietrangelo’s roll which was to eat minutes against top-competition with a bad partner whereas Pietrangelo got a lot easier minutes with better partners like Dunn and Gunnarsson. I think this roll-switch was a huge part of the cup win because it optimized their skill sets. Parayko is a lot better than Pietrangelo at playing against top competition and Pietrangelo was absolutely dominant when he got to play against easier opponents. In the end I think it all comes down to what you value and how you utilize them.</div></div>

The funny part of this is that you can expect Pietrangelo to put up more points and put himself in talks for the Norris again, proving that NHL awards are altogether stupid, points are mostly just noise, and Parayko is the GOAT.

Thread: The only Dumba trade that makes any sense for the Wild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Docdave</b></div><div>Big ask for an injury prone dman who isn't even number 1 on his own team ...both spurgeon n suter play more ...ain't happening ...a 50 goal guy with an awesome contract gets more than that ...see all the laine trades on here and he's a 30 goal guy</div></div>

Suter is a LHD, so what he plays isn't relevant to Dumba. Spurgeon playing more isn't a slight on Dumba, Spurgeon is just an all around better defenseman. Don't get the "injury prone" comment, but sure. He wouldn't be traded cheap, I never said the price was fair. I said that's what they're going to want, which isn't really important because they're just not going to trade him for the next 3 years at least. Maybe they trade him when he's due for an extension if he's asking too much.

Edit: Most of the Laine trades on here are stupid, so not sure what you mean by look at what people are saying for him. They're knee-jerk reaction trades to an RFA trying to get what he feels he's worth and people act like this is something weird. Same deal with Marner.

Thread: Would cbj do it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Viqsi</b></div><div>Well, we <strong>did</strong> just get one of the nicer wingers on the market at a pretty fair deal already - and free agency isn't exactly the best way to go shopping for core stars in any case, so that element doesn't really amount to much. It still leaves us with a huge question mark at #2C this year, and opens up a giant-size hole on RD.</div></div>

Yeah nyquist with dubois probily not making it over 60 points, nyquist with mcdavid probily hitting over 70. You gotta give something to get something, i had mentioned in a comment higher EDM would probily have to add a RD benning or a younger player to help with the blow to the defence but you're getting arguably the best player in the game. You might be able to land more than just a nice player from FA with him as well.
Not like i'm the gm of CBJ but this would be time for a makeover of the team after losing so many top players. Odds are they aren't making playoffs this year so trading that pick might not be in their best interest.
