Thread: (SJS / OTT) - Karlsson, Perron for Tierney, DeMelo, Norris, Balcers & picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dotz789</b></div><div>
I think the biggest reason why the return looks so little is the simple fact that Karlsson has 1 yr left on his contract and the Sens couldn’t chance him walking for free if he didn’t sign.</div></div>

They didn't even negotiate with him to attempt to sign him. Claiming they didn't want him to walk is laughable, how would they know he would refuse a re-signing if they didn't even bother to negotiate after the initial offer? They also could have waited until trade deadline and gotten a better package then this pile of junk. And don't even try to argue that Tierney, who is underrated yet still a third liner at best, has any value whatsoever compared to the best defenseman since Lidstrom.

They offered him a non-market value contract on July 1 as a guise to get people to buy season tickets. Dorion admitted they decided they will trade Karlsson in February. Every team decision is made to decrease money, not to rebuild, but to simply lower expenses. Don't believe that rebuild BS, the team had a young core with Stone, Karlsson, Duchene, and trew it away to lower expenses.

Thanks for admitting you have been out classed in this discussion.
Montreal is the 3rd worst team for goals-for. Like I said, him being <strong>2nd in points/gp on the team</strong> is a testament of how poor Montreal's offense is, not a testament of his offensive abilities. Also interesting you would disagree that it is an expectation for a 1st line defenseman to play 20+ minutes a game. Is hockey new to you?

<strong>Also hilarious that you put in the YouTube video of the goal that clearly shows he shot it wide and the puck rolls on the ice. The curve is caused from the friction of the ice and the puck rolling, not his shot lmao.</strong>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EthanK24</b></div><div>This is ridiculous.</div></div>

What's ridiculous is thinking they're a playoff team next year, when they're garbage this year and have no prospects to bring up or develop to push them into playoff category.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>I did say if Bergeron isn’t an idiot. So future trades that will “Most likely” happen doesn’t prove your point. </div>
The point being they'd lose another goal scorer... who will they replace him with? Where will the goals come from? This is a hypothetical since we are talking about next year.
Pretty idiotic that youre getting upset about a "Most likely" when we are discussing next year which is hypothetical itself..

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>So being second on the team in P/GP,</div>
That's a testament of how terrible Montreal's forwards are.
20+ minutes a night are an expectation for a first line defenseman... not anything to be proud of.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>including the ability to curve his shot in the air</div>
1. The curved shot was on the ice
2. That was 100% luck that a rolling puck rolled with a curve into the net
3. Hilarious you think that fluke was intentional

Thread: Who is the worse commissioner of the four major NA professional sport leagues?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DoctorBreakfast</b></div><div>

The game hasn't grown? That's ridiculous. If there wasn't an Arizona franchise there wouldn't be an Auston Matthews. Seth Jones came up through the Dallas Stars youth program. Shayne Gostisbehere was born and raised in Florida. I know there's no way to measure the number of fans in the game, but you can't tell me that there would be nearly as many hockey fans in the southern US without Bettman. Tampa's won a Cup, Dallas has won a Cup, Carolina has won a Cup, Florida went to the SCF early in their franchise history, the game has boomed in Nashville due to their recent success. The game is bigger now than it has ever been, and Bettman has had a lot to do with it. To say that CapFriendly users could have run a professional sports league better than Gary Bettman is asinine. Most of us can't even measure the value of a player or construct a team under the cap.</div></div>

lol you actually believed Bettman when he said the causation of Matthews success as a hockey player is because Pheonix had a team in that city? Now that is the definition of asinine.

Look at three of the teams you listed, Florida, Arizona &amp; Carolina, teams being constantly discussed regarding relocation, why is that? Oh right because so few in those cities care about the sport, and interest in the sport hasn't grown since their creation, and in some cases, has actually decreased.

Based on your example of Matthews being directly correlated to his success based on the city having an NHL team, I'd love for you to explain how Sidney Crosby (Cole Harbour Nova Scotia), Malkin (Magnitogorsk, Russa), Ovechkin (Moscow, Russia), Matt Murray (Thunder Bay, Ontario), Draisaitl (Cologne, Germany) have all become such stars, none of their home towns had NHL teams?
Oh wait, the answer is simple: a city having an NHL team has absolutely <strong>nothing</strong> to do with player development and whether a star is born.
