Thread: Exploring options for Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>Sigh... So this is the part where I ask you to explain *why* Rantanen is a better player, you'll give me a bunch of stuff that doesn't matter. I'll tell you DeBrusk makes shot happen for his team compared to his opponents just as much as Rantanen - the difference is Rantanens shots enter the net. Now he might just be a *way* better shot, and that's fine, then he's a better player because of that. But I know you're looking at those juicy point totals going " :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy le mayo imagine thinking its close between two players with *VASTLY* different point totals" and I'm here to tell you, yes, it can be close.</div></div>

I honestly can't believe that this is a real conversation...go and look at any analytic available. There's none that have them anywhere close to each other. Like, you could use your (really bad) argument for any player in the league. Heck, you could run out and say "Sean Kuraly is basically Connor McDavid, except his shots don't go in."

Thread: Exploring options for Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>Yeah, maybe. But not the one you mentioned in particular isn't the best example. The biggest difference between Rantanen and DeBrusk is that the formers shots happen to go in the net. There's no way he should earn 5.5 mil or so more because of that. Swap their situations around and you'd see different results. Graves is really a toss-in because of the expansion draft, but alright.</div></div>

:tearsofjoy The biggest difference between Rantanen and DeBrusk is that Rantanen is a much better player than DeBrusk. Every stat known to man favors Rantanen, and it's not even close. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you're a B's fan, because there's no way that anyone else would try to put those two in the same conversation.

Thread: if i were to build my team
I too wish that I could build my team by underpaying for players...You're getting a very highly rated prospect by trading Buch, and not giving up a highly rated prospect in the Eichel trade.

LAK declines-Regardless of their C prospect depth, they'd be much better off just moving one of them to the wing, no?

Buffalo declines-If Stome is worth a 1st, trade him and flip the pick to the Sabres. No reason for Buffalo to do all the work, especially if there isn't a high end prospect going in their direction. I'd also say that it has to involve Kakko, but there's not a lot of point arguing about an Eichel return right now.

Anaheim politely declines: I just don't really see a point bringing in Georgiev. Stolarz has been fine, and deserves a shot at the backup spot. Plus, he's a lot cheaper. If Seattle pulled a shocker and picked Stolarz, I'd consider it, but with the position the team is in right now, I don't see a reason to invest in the backup position when they've already got someone there.
