Thread: A Forward And A Defenceman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MaxBorjshlapsky</b></div><div>Toronto's fan base never fails to bring the laughs, take it from a Toronto fan myself.

The nostalgia for jvr and schenn is one of the best laughs in a while, 2 guys that played on the worst Leaf teams created in history are the exact same players they always were and only worse but the hype is real manipulator. We have a JVR in the lineup right now a soft big guy that can handle the puck and shoot which is engvall except he's a little faster, younger and cheaper but he plays in the bottom 6 where he belongs, he battles more than jvr and if he plays in the bottom 6 he will be less than useless. The Leafs don't need JVR I'd argue they don't need any forwards but maybe a top 3 D only if anything. The hockey media just wants to keep Leaf fans engaged with trade talks for Toronto I'm not mad just think it's reality it's a bit tacky but I think trying to find an elite defender is where it's at we have plenty half decent D already also, schenn isn't elite at all either.</div></div>

I don't think the Leafs should trade for Schenn either. As for JVR, he's a big game player, Kerfoot and Engvall are not. Leafs don't need hustlers and guys who bust their ass, they need finishers in crunch time. JVR can score key goals in intense moments.

Thread: Too much for JVR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Wow. That's a lot of research that you put into that. Overall, I think it could be simplified a little, just to a pick for JVR. Pageau and Rakell are better players than JVR, who outside of a few goals, provides nothing useful to a team.

I think a 2nd maybe or 3rd for JVR 50% works. He's not really a needle mover for any team.</div></div>

He's actually been one of the few net positive play drivers on the Flyers this year. Highest CF% on the team (50.3%), 3rd highest xG% (51.5%) according to Natural Stat Trick. Pretty decent counting stats too for a team that looks so uncomfortable on the power play. If the cap hadn't been so flat over the past decade I'm sure we could find someone to overpay him. Though maybe we would have overpaid him more in 2018 then? Who knows. Either way, I'm much more interested in what this team is going to look like on March 4th and in October than I am for the team on the ice tonight.

Thread: DUBAS is a Genius when No one is looking
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BadaBing</b></div><div>You want more than what was paid Jack Eichel. Never Happening. This is fair trade value for Travis</div></div>

First off, i don’t want anything. I’m not the flyers GM, nor am i even a fan of that team.

This is a joke of an offer for Konecny, and i don’t think the addition of knies and a first would bump it into more than eichel territory. Tuch and krebs were incredibly valuable pieces. Kerfoot and minten are not.

Having said that, yes, konecny should get more than eichel. Konecny doesn’t the health concerns, or the $10M cap hit. He’s playing as well or better than eichel ever did in buffalo. The Sabres had to trade eichel, the flyers don’t have to trade konecny.
