Thread: Why does everyone on here hate Brodie so much
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GladeBang12</b></div><div>I recognize there aren’t many realistic options that can fit that mould. Dumba is one that comes to mind, but his underlying numbers have been below-average the past few seasons. Maybe Brodie’s defensive play can allow Dumba to play to his strengths. I don’t mind the top-4 you have (I have those pairs on the team too), but I’d be cautious with your expectations of Rielly-Schenn. Having said that, I think our blue line has always, and will continue to lack a true #1D. I don’t think there’s any significant change you can make that would IMPROVE the blue line, despite the <strong>change in style.</strong> The time for that likely won’t come until JTs contract is up.</div></div>

Look at us finding common ground

Thread: Nylander and Lily for Weegar and Dube
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Right because that had nothing to do with being on a brand new team with a brand new system. Also he wasn't awful by any means, just not as good as Flames fans were expecting right away</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Newtown</b></div><div>He struggled early in the year and came on and played much better later in the year. I would not call him one of the best DFD in the league. I have witnessed him get victimized too many times including in the playoffs with Florida last year. That said, you don’t pay a guy $6.25 to play half a good season. 6.25 million long term can buy you a lot of defenceman in the open market without giving up star players.</div></div>

Newtown is regularly out to lunch. Weegar is underpaid, if anything. Scores a quiet 30+pts a season while putting up insane defensive numbers. People don't talk about him because he doesn't make flashy end-to-end plays like Karlsson. Is his term iffy? Maybe. But the cap will continue to rise in years to come, where'll he will continue to be underpaid. Whoever trades him for Nylander should be fired into the sun immediately.

Thread: Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GladeBang12</b></div><div>You told me this already. I'm only doing it now to see other people's opinion on the actual construction of the roster. So many people on this site comment because they want to invalidate any trade they see rather than critiquing the actual team. I don't really get it. Not saying what you're doing is wrong; you're a Kings fan. You don't care about the Leafs. But most people never have anything meaningful to say about the actual team.</div></div>
Fine. Iafallo would be a great add for the Leafs. All of us Kings fans concede that. Most of us think that he'd be so good for you, we shouldn't trade him at all.

You know, CapFriendly gives you two different opportunities (in the Team Explanation and in the trade box below the draft picks) to say something like "Not sure of his trade value -- I'm doing this to see how he looks on the Leafs" or "how he fits," etc. When you post a trade without qualification, you shouldn't be surprised when fans of the player(s) being traded comment on value. People can't drill a hole in your skull and look inside to see what you're thinking. If you have a specific motivation for posting a trade, tell us. I guarantee you that if you had done that in this instance, every single Kings fan would have congratulated you on your brilliance in trying to add Iafallo to your team.
