Thread: Making the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>Pettersson is miles better defensively. Tage is awful in his own zone, Pettersson is elite. So yes, Tage isn’t on Pettersson’s level

Eichel’s return was not better than Tkachuk’s. Tkachuk returned a 115 point winger, a top pairing dman, an 3rd round prospect, and a 1st. Eichel returned a solid prospect, a top 6 winger, a 1st, and a 2nd</div></div>

Tage is also elite and a better goal scorer than petey. Tage also isn't awful in his own zone. Sound like someone that just looks at charts. He plays a decent amount on the PK. Pretty good stickwork. That line is just plays a high risk game because that's what they're coach to do. They'd rather have them score a ton and give some up. Just because someone is better defensively doesn't make someone on another level.

You realize both were 30 and FAs the next year right? Most people are taking Tuch &amp; Krebs in their early 20s at 5.5M for another 4 years instead of Huberdeau + Weegar at 16.75M in their 30s for another 8 years. I swear people on here just don't understand the value of contracts &amp; cap space.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>Thompson isn’t on the same level as Pettersson. Dahlin is so that would be a 1 for 1

Petey would get more than Eichel. He’s a better player than Eichel and doesn’t need career threatening neck surgery. You’d be looking at the value of the Tkachuk trade minimum</div></div>"

Thompson is around the same level. This is goofy.

Tage 162 points (85 goals) in 156 games last 2 seasons

Petey 170 points (71 goals) in 160 games last 2 seasons

Just because the guy got some 3rd-6th place Selke votes for the first time doesn't make him on a different level than Tage. Tage is also on an extremely good contract. Petey would be making 3M+ more with his new deal.

Eichel got a better return than Tkachuk? Like Krebs + Tuch is better than 2 30 year old rentals that needed huge contracts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>You're right, asking for a player of similar caliber is absolutely outrageous. How dare the Canucks ask for a team's top player when trading their top player!

The return will be much bigger than Eichel because a) Pettersson is objectively a far better player than Eichel was. Eichel never had a 100 point season being top 10 in Selke votes. and b) Pettersson doesn't have a career threatning neck injury and a terrible relationship with the organization fueling drama and controversy</div></div>

Why do you completely ignore the context lmao? Petey would be asking out because your team is trash again. He would be refusing to sign a contract with the team. You don't get a player of the same caliber back in that scenario. You don't get rewarded for screwing up the early career of your star player.

Don't forget the biggest part. Eichel was already signed. Petey isn't.

Thread: (ANA/BUF) - 2025 4th (MIN) for Lyubushkin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drambui</b></div><div>ok.... i still fail to see why that klingberg talk is relevant to what i said... i didnt comment on those forums nor did i said he was worth a first? so why bring up someone i didnt talk about? of course there is no guaranteed, like most thing in life, but players are still worth more at the deadline.

and all the guy you mentioned were also not traded in the offseason?

so like do you disagree that players are worth more at the deadline? do you think they are worth more now?
are you saying team were fighting right now to get a bottom 6 dman and that why he was traded for a 4th but at the deadline teams wont want bottom 6th dman so they offer will 6th max? is your whole point that ''there is no guaranteed''?</div></div>

Because Klingberg didn't get a great return at the deadline like people thought he would? His value tanked playing on a bad team. Idk how you missed the point that bad.

I said he was worth probably a 6th rounder and you said guys are worth more at the deadline "in case you don't follow trades".

He's a bottom pair d man who is going to be playing little minutes on a a bad team. He won't be worth that much.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drambui</b></div><div>well yeah, its a known fact. it happens all the time that player get traded for pennies in the offseason or early season and get flipped for more at the deadline.

Klingberg was never traded for to begin with, cant really ''flip him for more'' if you didnt trade for him at the starts.</div></div>

People thought Klingberg would easily fetch a 1st at the deadline. You can just look at the forum on the singing. He didn't even come close to that. Guys aren't guaranteed to get more at the deadline.

Boosh is a bottom pair d man who will be playing 15-16 minutes on a bad team. You want some comparisons at the deadline mr i follow trades?

Robert Hagg for a 6th
Jordie Benn for a 6th
Michael Del Zotto for a 6th

Yea a 6th sounds about right. Getting a 4th back would probably be best case scenario.
