Thread: (BUF/CHI) - Nylander for Jokiharju

And what makes you such an expert on him? Did you watch all his games these past few years? Just going off stats? I remember when hockey experts like yourself claimed Rantanen was never going to break out either, but turns out your all just playing a guessing game with little to no actual hard evidence to back your claims. </div></div>

The irony of these two statements made within the same reply is hilarious.

You used stats regarding age and NHL games played to try to rebut my statement, even though Olofsson thoroughly outperformed Nylander all year at every level, and then went on to critique someone else for looking at the numbers rather than performance when your analysis makes it obvious you yourself hadn't watched them play.

Thread: (BUF/CHI) - Nylander for Jokiharju
I still can't believe this trade happened. I've been a defendant of Bowman for years. Understanding the hard situation he's in dealing with the cap. Shipping out Turbo to shed Bickell...ok cap casualty, I understand. Sending (2) 2nds for 4 minutes of Kimo...ok going for a cup. Sending Panarin to Columbus...ok maybe there's a Kane affect and heck we're brining back Saad and Forsberg. I even think he made some decent moves this offseason. This is just so upsetting. I'm not sure I can handle any more Bowman. I'm ready to let him walk after the 2019 season. This will be the indefensible trade that does it. There really is just no defense for not getting a better return on what MANY people in Chicago believe was their single best defensive prospect...ahead of Boqvist...ahead of Mitchell...ahead of Beaudin. Draft status means ziltch after the draft...heck look at Alex Nylander.

Thread: (MTL/CHI) - Shaw and 2021 7th round pick for 2020 2nd, 7th round pick, and 2021 3rd round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>I will put $100 on it right now that they are a bottom 10 team in the league next year. Hawks have virtually no chance of making the playoffs unless they do something crazy in FA Frenzy</div></div>

Yeah, I dont agree with this at all. I'd take this bet. Keep in mind that its VERY rare that goalies have back to back career years. Bishop was FAR better last year than his previous 5 years and Bin is just like Matt Murray. Cant take ANYTHING away from him during that run, but teams will now scheme against him and the real goalie will find his level, hes not the next Hasek. Opposing teams weren't able to do that well last year due to lack of data.
