Thread: NecasBear Trade at the Deadline
I have no argument because I choose not to perpetuate this, you’ve made my point that Skjei and Chychrun are different players, and you supported it with your own Josi argument. I don’t need to say anything else.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Okay, let's have this argument. You realise Chychrun put up 40+ points and was still a net negative? There's more to this game than point scoring. It's the Josi argument. Roman Josi is a dominant offensive defenseman, but he's among the worst players in the NHL in his own end, to the point where on average he's a net 0 at best. Chychrun is of the same ilk, and Skjei last year was on a top 4 pairing in the NHL with Pesce. Chychrun has never been of that ilk and you want to compare them? You're ignoring everything that's wrong with Chychrun and trying to argue with production which A) Isn't the point of someone like Skjei and b) is completely useless for a defenseman given as it isn't their job.</div></div>

Thread: NecasBear Trade at the Deadline
You realize that in the COVID shortened year that Chychrun had 41 points in 56 games, including 18 goals correct (and finished in the Norris conversation)? That is a point total in 56 games that Skjei has never had in his career, even in full 82 game years. Making a definitive statement like this, and comparing Skjei getting a 1st is basically a moot point. I like Skjei too, but the two players in question are drastically different.

I’d keep Necas now that he’s signed for two years, I wouldn’t move him either…so we agree there. But the way you make points just isn’t convincing, it almost makes the opposite counterpoint stronger.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>I wouldn't do this. Chychrun's overrated. He's never had a season as good as the season Skjei is coming off. Carolina got Skjei for a 1st straight up. If you want to move them Bear, I get that. But Necas and the picks for a defenseman that even here is number 3? I don't like this.</div></div>
