Thread: Middle 6 Scoring
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>People live under this illusion that Konecny falls under the same tier as other high end wingers. Well he doesn't, he's inferior to other young wingers such as Kevin Fiala, Brock Boeser, Alex Debrincat, and Jesper Bratt</div></div>

Im actually flabbergasted by this list you made.

Some “high end wingers” coming off career highs and havent had great numbers before that
Others coming off career lows while have been looking like they have been trending down and even have worse numbers than Konecny

I mean, most these names probably fetch far more than the above offer, so not sure why you’re even bringing them up. Not sure how what Brock or Bratt fetch but Konecny is more than just a play maker… his all around game is where most his value comes from. He has grit and is good on both ends of the ice.

In general I just cant make heads or tails from this list. Id say id probably take Deb over Brock and Bratt together, Fiala over either of those two and a prospect… and I guess it would come down to needs and cap between Brock, Bratt and Konecny

Anyway, all that to say, Konecny is worth that offer.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Poile is quoted saying he has an 8 year offer on the table for Forsberg, but it hasn't been accepted yet. The longer it goes, the less likely I feel he will re-sign. Although, honestly, the way he ended his last game and his body language on the stage at CMA Fest recently lead me to believe he's already made up his mind to pursue FA. But at the same time, I have no interest in having a $9m+ Forsberg on this team-- oft-injured, streaky player. When he's on, he's amazing-- but this is really the only year he has been a consistent offensive threat. I wouldn't go over $8.5m, and even that seems high. He's pretty much a $7m player that had a career year at the perfect moment and is now trying to cash in as much as he can-- at least that's what it feels like. And it doesn't help that Poile also traded Arvidsson away and let SEA grab Jarnkrok-- they were two of Forsberg's best friends on the team. We'll see, but I'd be surprised at this point if he signs.</div></div>

I usually give Forsberg 9M+ In these things but I agree with you. Even at 8.5M, it’s more than he should probably get. He’s been a 60-70 point player his entire career and gets injured yearly. This year was an offensive explosion from him but it’s also one I doubt happens next season. I really wish we traded him at the deadline. Could’ve got a bounty
