Thread: Kulikov rumours, Yandle, Okposo

Don't you mean the whole thing?

And Klew, Kulikov is a top 4 guy. He's not a "borderline" top 4 defenseman.</i></div></div>

Tell that to the advanced analytics guys.
Kulikov compared to Torey Krug. <a href="http://public.tableau.com/shared/CFG78Z9N8?:display_count=yes" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://public.tableau.com/shared/CFG78Z9N8?:display_count=yes</a>
Just because he plays Top 4 minutes doesn't mean he's good at it.</i></div></div>

Sorry, but "advanced analytics," don't do it for me. The eye test is 10x better. Kevan Miller had better advanced stats than Kulkov, and yet...I would take Kulikov 10x10. If advanced stats are your go-to, please refrain from debating.</i></div></div>

They are not my go-to.. In fact I used to hate them. I agree eye test is a good indicator of quality. However these stats also do paint a picture and NHL teams do use them when deciding for and against getting a player. So they do have use. I like to use both nowadays. I agree Kulikov is better than Miller but that's not hard at all. I just wouldn't give up those assets for him.

Thread: Bruins bold moves.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>Seems like a lot to give Buf as a rental. Gotta believe the Ducks think Fowler is worth more than a first rounder. Don't think Seidenberg was waive his NTC to go to Columbus. Maybe McQuaid and a 2nd rounder might do it.</i></div></div>

Buff - Generally good rentals get a 1st and a prospect. Joe Morrow isn't a high level prospect, he's got pretty low value right now I'd say. Also this would be with the idea that Buff wouldn't be a rental and that the Bruins would resign him to a long contract.

Fowler - I agree he is worth more than a first rounder. They are getting Eriksson. A top 6 forward aswell as that first round pick.

Atkinson - Seidenberg said last year if the Bruins didn't want him anymore he'd waive it. I think he's a respectable guy. He'd probably go.

Thread: Trading Eriksson + Byfuglien
I think the trade values are fine. It's just a risk giving up a 1st for Buff when he may not even resign, he's going to want huge money for 6 years and he's never been the fittest of players anyway. Could see huge decline in his play. I'd rather go get a cheaper younger guy like Cam Fowler, Sami Vatanen, Jonas Brodin or Matt Dumba. Even though they don't have the same experience or size of Buff they have great upside. I'm happy to give up Seidenberg, he's not the same guy after that injury. Still a decent player but not the kind of guy we need right now he's hindering the younger players development. The forward group is weaker too. Spooner isn't a winger, Hayes isn't a top 6 and the 4th line is still lightweight. I'd try get some heavier bodies for the 4th line.

Thread: Trade Deadline for Rebuild + Next Years Free Agents
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>Don't know if Eriksson would warrant a first round pick. Would a team want to take on the ever slowing Chara and his 6.8m a year for 2 years after this? I don't think so. Would rebuilding Edmonton would want soon to be UFA Kelly? Not being a Skinner fan, the Carolina looks OK but think the Canes would want more.
You have the UFA signings Yandle and Byfugulin signing for 2.6m and 5.2 m Try 5.7m and 6.0m Do Boston RFAs not get a raise? Doubt if the Rangers trade Kevin Hayes to Bruins and being an RFA isn't he due for a big raise?
If NMC Chara stays with Boston, the salary cap on existing Bruins certainly goes up. Even without Chara, your numbers just don't add up.</i></div></div>

I didn't sign them via UFA. This wasn't an accurate team via the numbers. It was just built for the names really
