Thread: Is Isles future banking on Sorokin and Whalstrom and Dobson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bgainesdm</b></div><div>It does keep them on their toes though and makes them learn faster. I personally feel like right now, a healthy Ladd in this push was better than Bellows but barely. Koivula did get some games over a healthy Komarov earlier. If he feels you're ready, then your ready(ie. Toews).</div></div>

Toews was a few months short of his 25th birthday. I feel like trotz goes by age more than anything. If toews was 21 he wouldn’t have gotten the same shot IMO.

The thing is fans are led the believe that trotz plays guys like boychuk, kuhnackl , and komarov because they “play the right way” but boychuk was one of the worst even strength defenders in the league this season and out of 400 players who have played at least 200 min, kuhnhackl was the 2nd worst defensive forward. It makes me believe that trotz only cares about age, experience , and SC pedigree. Intangibles &gt; skill is what trotz goes by.

Thread: Lias Anderson with cbo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluetomorrow83</b></div><div>So from a neutral hockey fan, what's you take on the JP+B prospect(Samo) for Lias and lower of NYR's first rounder? I understand why NYR backed out of the previous swap in December JP for Lias and NYRs only first was a crazy ask at the time.</div></div>

I don't see how they could possibly expect a 1st in return, even if you add in Samorukov/Lagesson. The ask mid season was reportedly much lower than that (The ask when Ottawa was kicking tires was a 2nd and a young forward) and nobody wanted to do that. I don't see how the asking price could have possibly gone <strong>up</strong> from then to now.

If I post a car on craigslist for 8 grand, and nobody is interested, I'm not going to have any luck if I then post the same car for 11 grand.

Thread: Lias Anderson with cbo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mayb81</b></div><div>I’m not sure, personally I think because Puljujärvi has more NHL experience, slightly exceeding a times, and that he is a bit more highly touted as a prospect makes him a worth just a bit more than Anderson.</div></div>

He certainly has more "opportunity". 1700+ NHL mins, all he has to show for it is 7 NHL points without contributions from McDavid/Drai/Nuge....

Andersson has 7 NHL points in under 700 NHL mins and none of those have a single contribution from anyone who has ever had 60 points.

Andersson has done the same as Puljujarvi with SIGNIFICANTLY less in terms of teammates, and ice time. They just matched point/gm rates in Europe this year.

Frankly given the dead even production some might give the nod to Andersson because he's a superior defender and a C. But because of Puljujarvi's higher (though seemingly more distant) ceiling, it's even.

Thread: NYR Fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Widowmaker</b></div><div>Both are absolutely available. The coaches and FO like Strome, but with DeAngelo needing a contract and they keep flirting with extending Kreider, Strome will have to go in that scenario. I think the ask would be a younger near-nhl ready forward; maybe Benson or Lavoie and possibly a pick.
The coach hates Buch and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is eventually run out of town. He’s more cost controlled than Strome and probably considered a higher ceiling player, so the ask might be similar or possibly more than it is for Strome.
In any case, they are very much available, however to the dismay of most of us fans, Buch is probably more likely to be moved than Strome.</div></div>

I wouldn't necessarily say that DQ hates Buch due to the fact that for the most part he has kept him on the top line for most of the season when he could have been tempted to throw Kakko there one time.

If you're a bad sportsman and attack everyone around you from opponents to teammates to refs then you need you're ass suspended 1 year without pay and they're not allowed to play anywhere else

The dude had issues years ago. He's been a positive lockerroom presence this year and is showing he has elite offensive talent, from the right side no less. I lot of people dont like him because he's a huge Trump supporter and he plays in a liberal city like Manhattan, but management, real fans, and teammates couldn't care less if he's putting up 60+ pts a season. Seriously tho, when was the last time you heard anything about him and his "maturity issues"?
