Thread: Alter the DNA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>well that's just the thing - you want a playoff style player and your target is barzal? I just don't see it. to me he's a perimeter player. dependent on the powerplay etc. I think what you want is what they already have. both zacha and coyle play a big style, and both get to the net.

The point is, and I think you recognize this, Barzal isn't an ideal fit. Stylistically, he doesn't fit the mold. Am I for any team going outside of the box a little here and there to get someone that can help? absolutely. but if you're making a franchise altering trade of a core member of the team, the teams top prospect, and two firsts - that player better be a perfect fit. If you're going to offer that, go get JEE.</div></div>

That’s fair. I respect a lot of your posts on here too. Sorry if my previous post was a little forward. In the end this is most likely moot because the FO value Carlos analytics and intangibles.

Thread: Alter the DNA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>I just couldn't hate this concept any more, and not because of my username. Carlo should be available in the right move.

Is this it though? I don't think it's close. You're moving the teams best non NHL prospect, two firsts (for a team that hasn't been drafting in the first round much) and Carlo for a guy that frankly just isn't a fit? god no. Barzal has averaged 73 points per 82 games over his career, and I don't like his two way game. Honestly, I think he really should be a winger. Overpaid, bad culture fit, heck of a player, but don't change the DNA for that.

ultimately, why would you change the DNA of this team. they're in a transition year and are second in the league. it's just a bad concept.</div></div>

Organizations and coaches utilize players differently than others. I think Barzal could be the dynamic 1C we need. If not you run Bertuzzi-Zacha-Pastrnak and Marchand-Poitras-Barzal. If there is another 1C option that fits better for them then definitely. I still believe this is the package it would take.

In regards to your last comment, points are fun during the season. Sign me up for wildcard placement and deep runs every year. It blows my mind the amount of Bruins fans who are content with regular season success and then use it for their agenda. In a copycat league, is anyone copying the Bruins system ?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>This is very hard for Ottawa, the package is good and Carlo is also a big need. Lysell and the 2nd is not as needed but what makes the value fair... The thing is they also have Ridly Greig and Shane Pinto so a Stutzle-Greig-Pinto center line would also be excellent. On the other hand, Norris is part of the core and one of Brady's best friends... He's the most natural goal scorer on the Sens, and there's several guys who can score 35+ goals on any given season. Chabot could really use a Carlo partner, would help him get his game to the next level and RHD is not a position of strength for Ottawa (a LHD has to play RD)

Norris is a bit unknown for most hockey fans but before last season, he scored 47 goals in his last 91 games, 12th GPG in the NHL during that long stretch. He did that at 21-22 y/o while facing top competition every night and having quite good defensive metrics

So many arguments both sides, very hard to decide. I'd look if there was a way to get Carlo without Norris going the other way but I guess the only reason for Boston to move Carlo would be to get a Top C

Edit : by the way, since 2021-22, when Norris was 22 y/o, only these guys have a best GPG than him :

Matthews, Pastrnak, Draisaitl, McDavid, Ovechkin, Rantanen, Kaprizov, Kreider, Hughes, MacKinnon, Robertson, Thompson, Point...</div></div>

Great analysis, and the exact reason why I’d want Boston to target him. Injuries have kept him in the dark but he is a bonafide 1C on all 32 teams.

It's never a problem to be too deep down the middle, and as mentioned, one could go to the wing to keep them all in the top 6. About the only hard and fast rule will likely be that Leo and Trevor not play on the same line since they are both playmakers. We don't predict to have any cap issues well into our competition window with the ELC talent we have and the role models contracts falling off.

Should be a hell of a top 6.</div></div>

Absolutely true. I don’t know, I think I’m just jealous of the center depth lol.
