<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>He was a healthy scratch cause the coaches didn't want to throw him to the wolves in his rookie season. Do you not know anything about sheltering a prospect? Seems like you have absolutely now concept of what it takes for an international prospect to make the jump to the North American game. Hundreds of International prospects go from their respective leagues straight to the AHL as they need to acclimate their game to the NA style. You are right though you know more than any NHL GM or pro scout around the world!</div></div>

Romanov has not done anything in the last 3 years that would lead anyone to believe he is going to be a top 4 defenseman. Can he turn into one? Sure, but it’s highly unlikely. This is different than say, kotkaniemi who has struggled the past two years but he’s done enough from his age 17-19 seasons to argue that he’ll be at least a 2C in the future

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>So how many Montreal Canadiens regular season games did you watch? 0?! Yeah you don't have to use stats or advanced stats to know that during the regular season Chiarot, Weber and to a lesser degree Kulak and Edmundson sucked. Just look at some of the teams interviews from down the stretch, EVERY one of them Petry included kept saying how much better they had to play game after game after game. There was a reason that Montreal was 18th overall in the league headed into the playoffs, their D sucked in the regular season. Go ahead and blame the kid if you want but every Habs fan will tell you the same thing, OUR D in the regular season was one of the worst in the entire league with Weber and Chiarot leading the way as the worst 2 regulars. once Merrill and Gustafsson came to town they were the only D worse than Weber and Chiarot.</div></div>

I probably watched like 10 Montreal games this season and the great thing about analytics is it removes bias. Sorry man I don't trust your eye test. Kulak was great

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>You didn't watch many Habs games this year did you? Chiarot, Weber, Edmonsdon (on occasion) and Kulak were all tire fires in the regular season! Weber and Chiarot's play picked up in the playoffs but so did everyone else's. Edmundson was awful to start the season and turned it around about halfway through the season. Kulak was all over the place, he would be good for a game or two then suck bad much like Mete did in the past. Romanov considering he was a rookie used solely on the 3rd pair had an up an down year as well but the transition from KHL to NHL is not easy especially for a 20 y.o. But you do you and continue to dump on a 20 year old kid cause you have nothing better to do with your time.</div></div>

The numbers don't lie - you clearly don't know what you're talking about. All of those players were above average in most defensive metrics. I'm dumping on the 21* year old because I'm arguing why this is a terrible trade for the islanders. I personally don't give a sh*t about his transition from the KHL, there are plenty of players who come over and succeed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>LMAO, you are basing your analysis off of what 54 games in his rookie year, used only on the 3rd pair on a team that was as a whole horrible defensively through the entire regular season!

EDIT** Guess that means Dobson is a bust as well! Rookie season = 34 GP 1 G 6A 7 P, Let's wait 3 or 4 years before we say anyone is a bust. Only those jealous of what other teams have start dumping on players after their rookie season.</div></div>

Dobson's play driving was much better and it actually matters what you do before you get in the NHL. Also Dobson was averaging 13 minutes per game as a 19 YO and he still had 1 more point than Romanov in his age 21 season (averaging 17 min a night playing in 54 games as opposed to Dobson who only played 34)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>impaaaaact</b></div><div>Parise is one year removed from a 25 goal year, and two years removed from a 28 goal year - each in substantially less than 82 games played. Calling him a 13 F is beyond harsh.

The point of putting him there was to spread the love around and have Lee anchor his own line. It's also been relayed to me that I didn't move Boychuk into the LTIR slot so this team is moot anyway</div></div>

Father Time is undefeated and if you didn’t know , players pushing 40 YO can fall off a cliff at any moment. That’s already happened to Parise. He cannot drive a line and neither can Bailey. Beauvillier was the one who was the main driver of the 2nd line. Nelson and Baileys numbers without Beauvillier are f*cking brutal . Beauvilliers numbers actually improved without them. I don’t think putting a slow washed up 40 YO on the 2nd line is a good idea.

Romanov is awful defensively while playing in a system that usually boost defensive numbers. He also doesn’t put up points and has mediocre hockey IQ. From most hockey prospect models he’s not even a lock to be an NHLer and if he is he’ll be a #4 or #5 D - and we’re trading our best two way winger in Beauvillier. Are we trying to force Barzal to request a trade next summer by getting rid of 3 of his closest friends on the team in one year?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I was kind of expecting Romanov to be a low-event guy but from the stats and eye test he's been a very risk-taking aggressive player.

Islanders would never do this trade - Salo is a lot better than a mid tier prospect

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>(Danault is never going to live up to his upcoming contract. He's an all world defensive forward, but he doesn’t have the offensive ability to justify a 6mil contract like he's supposedly looking for)</div></div>

I disagree - he’s a strong offensive play driver and a good playmaker. His points per 60 rates are well above average. He’s worth it. I’d give him 6 mill x 4

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I feel Hyman will be to slow for Mcdavid lul. Hyman often relied on Marners passes and Matthews dont have a phrase for it yet as its not gritness yes

Could work out but I feel Hyman may either be better suited for Draisaitl or we could see him struggle</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Im guessing in 2. He suffered 2 big leg injuries a year a part and those can add up fast. If they throw him out there longer with Mcdavid I feel Oilers may get him for 68 games before he gets hurt</div></div>

Giving Hyman term is a terrible idea, but he's still a high end top 6 forward right now. He wasn't a product of Matthews/Marner. Sure his point totals are inflated a bit, but his isolated impact shows he's a very strong driver of offense and he's also an elite forechecker. I think he'll mesh well with Mcdavid.
