Thread: Trade with MTL - thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kosterjr</b></div><div>Not sure why the Panthers would do this, overpaying for Patches and a salary dump in Alzner which they don’t need with the signing of Bogdan.</div></div>

You act like Patches wouldn’t be the best scorer that teams seen in the past 10 years (check the resume). He is instantly their best winger, best goal scorer and could play on the top unit of their PK and PP.

For a winger/Center that barely gets 50 points a year? Or the two no name prospects ? and 5th round pick?

Ow but let’s not forget that we’re also sending Alzner, a second round pick and a 3rd round pick. Im not even an Alzner fan I can still tell you that he is an NHL defenceman, not an elite one but would still play every game in Florida.

This trade is insanely one sided. You don’t trade an elite left winger, one of the NHLs best left wingers for three players that will never eclipse 60 points, possibly combined.

Thread: Tank years
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Truebeliever</b></div><div>If you're going to tank, go all the way. Petry has good value. No reason to move Mete and Juulsen back to the minors.

Also, if you're going this route, you want to be amassing picks for 2019 and 2020, since the two best Quebec players of a generation are on the rise: <a href="http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=195949" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Raphael Lavoie</a> and <a href="http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=208990" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Alexis Lafrenniere</a></div></div>

Not quite sure if joking but I don't support this kinda thinking at all. We need to rebuild but we need to keep a couple of good vets around (i.e. not guys like McDonald) and not just throw our youngsters to the wolves a la Buffalo and Edmonton and destroy their careers. Not to mention while this team would be downright awful, it wouldn't guarantee us Lafreniere. Sure we would likely get a top pick after sucking long enough but then it's a really tough job to turn the ship around as we've seen with Edmonton and Buffalo.
