Thread: Revisiting The Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IgorKutchakokov</b></div><div>That's fair. They do have a lot of depth there, but the constant impulse to move Johnson up is a concern should the Pens face that scenario. Riikola has more than held his own this year, but Sullivan just doesn't like the guy.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nights_King93</b></div><div>That is my primary concern as well.. Moving JJ up. I think he needs tethered to that bottom pairing and PK role unless more than 2 guys go down. Bump up Schultz. Marino can flip sides if needed. If two LDs go down I'd rather Riikola get top 4 minutes with a guy like Marino. But you are right, I don't see Sully doing that since he just played JJ with Letang for three weeks.</div></div>

Moving up JJ is just gonna kill the team. He is just such a bad fit for this system I have no idea why Sully keeps playing him over Riikola. He is simply not giving the team the best chance to win in this regard. I’m not really that confident in bumping Schultz to an elevated role if there are injuries. He seemed really inconsistent. Showed flashes of his old self like vs LA, but the last 3 games he’s been poor again.

What'd you guys think of this team?</div></div>

Now in terms of what I THINK JR is most likely going to do:

-Sheary most likely isn't going to be resigned considering Guentzel is coming back next year and we have Poulin and Legare ready to make the jump in 1-2 years it just doesn't make sense to give him term especially since JR already got rid of him as a cap dump less than 2 years ago and he hasn't improved at all since then.

-Don't think PO Joseph is going to be ready to jump into the top 6 next year and I think Johnson gets at least another year before we have to extend Marino.

-As far as a cap dump goes I think it's much more likely to be Hornqvist than Bjugstad since Hornqvist is already showing signs of decline and can't continue playing the way he does into his 30s. A young guy like Lafferty could be coached in time to do what he does. Hopefully we get him another cup on his way out the door.

-I highly doubt we keep Murray and Jarry. Colorado is apparently very interested in Jarry. The reason why we sent Desmith down on waivers instead of Jarry was because JR was convinced Colorado was going to pick him up, which ended up being a very smart move. I think we're gonna move Jarry at the draft for a 1st rounder and extend Murray but I could see JR moving whichever goalie wants the most money.

Other than that this is probably very similar to what our roster will look like next year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IgorKutchakokov</b></div><div>I dunno, I think Kahun is a bit overrated. I liked that he was an RFA and we could have gotten assets for him in the off-season (if we didn't think we could re-sign him), but Sheary is abetter fit for top-6 minutes. Additionally we get a fast bottom 6 player who can kill penalties and replace ZAR's steady fourth line minutes while he's out. Prob a fair trade</div></div>

Yea ... I think it's pretty even sided, we probably should have retained some but it's not bad🤷🏼‍♂️

Thread: Getting Pitt 1st rd pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IgorKutchakokov</b></div><div>Real question for a Kings fan - What is Toffoli's game right now? Pens getting linked with him a lot, so curious about his speed.</div></div>

Toffoli isn't a burner. He's known for his ability to always be in the sweet spots with a really good shot to go behind it. His underestimated quality is his work on the boards. Kopitar is the only player on the Kings that is better along the boards than Toffoli. He's also a very good threat on the PK for shorthanded goals, as well as being a pretty decent power play threat.

The entire Kings team has been struggling, but Toffoli can still produce at a very high clip when placed with skilled players (read: Not on the 3rd or 4th line). This is evidenced by him being the highest scoring player on the Kings since being placed on Kopitar's line about 15-20 games ago. PPG pace, almost.

Great top-6 forward with Cup-winning experience, PK and PP capabilities, and on-pace for another 20+ goal season on one of the worst offensive teams in the league.

Thread: going to be tight
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juice</b></div><div>well...that would be very short sighted then....trading a 22yr old winger with tons of promise straight up for a 28yr old defenceman with only one more year left on his deal and the likelihood that he'll be looking for a big deal at 30yrs old as a renewal...one which the Leafs likely wouldn't be able to accommodate. But sure...I'm absurd for thinking further than 1.5 years out.

Jakub Vorachek
Nathan MacKinnon
Jack Eichel
Corey Perry
Mark Scheifele
Nikita Kucherov
Matt Duchene

and many others.....know what they have in common? They put up similar stats to Nylander over their first 3 years. Would you trade any of them in their early 20s for 1.3 seasons of a vet #1 d-man?

I think Pietrangelo is fantastic...don't get me wrong...but you're hating on the Leafs/Nylander without any credible insight to back you up



You are once again proving your inability to comprehend simple english here. I thought I spelled it out for you in my last post but I guess not....

I am not comparing any of Nylander, Murray, Laine to each other....I'm using your trash opinion of Nylander and showing you how ridiculous it looks if you apply the same logic to other players. If you don't like Nylander...that's fine, nobody here needs you to. But if you want to go spout off about how other people's opinions are absurd...I'll hold the mirror up so you can see how your theory looks when applied to other players.

Anything else? I'm guessing the next reply probably misses the point again and will ramble on about how I know think Nylander is as valuable as MacKinnon.</div></div>

Nylander is worth 2 pucks and a wooden hockey stick lol
