Thread: Stars win the Josh Anderson Derby
31 fanbases KNOW Josh Anderson is trash value

1 fanbase thinks he (and all their other bad value players) is golden.

And people wonder why I have no patience for habs fans


As for last year - EVERYONE knows certain habs players were grossly overpaid. Just because it happened once doesn't mean that that DEFINES the value for other crap.
Let's look at how those teams are faring now.

Florida got nowhere with Chiarot and lost a valuable asset with no gain. Detroit then signed him for too much and he has not been good.
Kulak has dropped off significantly and has been nothing more than a bottom pair D
Toffoli, while honestly he did go for the right return, has also dropped off a bit (this trade is an exception, it was fair)
Lehkonen was an overpay at the time, but he has thrived since.

Edmundson and Anderson both fit into the Chiarot territory of size > skill. Anyone who buys on anderson would be blind to the bigger picture of how they harm their team financially beyond the year to get an asset that is cheaper somewhere else.

Thread: Timo to Detroit fair trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>I've seen so many severe overpays for Meier that assessing "fair" is difficult. It's refreshing to see someone not demanding the moon and more for Meier, because he was really overrated on here for a while.
That said, I do think Berggren is a pretty high tier asset, so asking an equivalent would still be pretty valuable. I don't know Detroits system to know what that replacement would be. But they should have it.

Pelletier, Dube and a 1st is a more in-line calgary comparable... Detroit shouldn't be moving firsts at this time. If they do it would structure similarly to Debrincat's trade.</div></div>

How is that more in line? Roughly speaking:
Ruzicka = Berggren
Dube = Zadina (this is being generous considering his production this year)
Zadorov = Erne

Meier should return roughly similar to DeBrincat, probably a bit less since you don't get the full season

Thread: Timo to Detroit fair trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Detroit doesn't need retention on Timo Meier, Once healthy we will have close to $30,000,000 at the TDL. And we're not interested in moving Berggren. he's turning out to be as good as advertised.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>Replace Berggren, drop the retention, and then its in line to be fair and mutually beneficial. Erne prob isnt needed either, apparently Y is weirdly attached to having him around anyways.</div></div>

Can anyone explain to me how this is an overpay for Meier? Berggren is looking decent but he's not some superstar in the making. If anything Detroit adds Cossa or their 1st to make this fair. A collection of mediocrity doesn't get you Meier
