Thread: Too Hard to make fair trade for Marner

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RMC</b></div><div>lol our team needs to get faster? they need to get tougher</div></div>

They were behind the play the whole game... Speed helps you get in on the forecheck and that is where they got killed. Toughness is a stupid excuse Carolina is not a tough team at all and they will walk to the finals because they play with speed

Lafferty is being incredibly overrated.</div></div>

He's overrated but I think he fits well on the 4th line against tampa. The only way we outplay Tampa's bottom six is with speed which he has. Plus he can take draws for holmberg who is at 40%

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Who cares how many hits he has, he has the puck all the time and hits in no way win you games. Scoring wins you games, being great defensively wins you games. Buying into a system and playing as a 5 man unit wins you games. Engvall does all of that but doesn't hit enough for the Brian Burke fanclub members.</div></div>

Kampf won't nail anybody and doesn't fight. He doesn't have the offensive upside of Engvall but he's a guy I trust to skate through a guy and win a battle, which is why he was so effective in last years playoffs

Missed the 0 goals in 7 games part... Anybody that has ever played hockey at any competitve level will tell you it's harder to play against a physcial team then not. There is a reason why Tampa brings in physicality every year, a reason why Colorado wanted Manson. I would rather have a fast skilled team but if you don't think physicality matters at all come playoff time then you don't watch

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>At worst when Engvall is on the ice, nothing happens, either way. He always looks either fine or good. It's just fools who want everyone to be a highlight real that don't see his value. He's low event, nothing happens and that's absolutely a win so long as he outscores his opposition in the minutes he plays, which he does.</div></div>

He has 0 hits and 0 block shots in the last 5 games as a bottom six forward .... I know it's not the be all end all but he is only a plus 4 on an elite top 4 team so he doesn't outscore his oponents relative to the rest of his team

0 goals 17 playoff games... As much as you can call me a meathead the clip of paul clowning him in the playoffs will always stick out as a guy I don't want in a 7 game series

I look at the Devils lineup and I don't know who he replaces. Johnsson maybe? Would it even be an upgrade?</div></div>

I agree the devils were just a random playoff team could be any team like pittsburgh... I just think someone would take a flyer on a 6'5 215lbs forward who could skate.

What is the point in commenting on every post that you reject a trade. If you think Chicago doesn't jump at Mccabb for first plus a c prospect for mccabe with no retention then you are delusional. Plus it's a buyers market more players avaliable then teams looking for players.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I know Leaf fans hate their own, but what is the advantage of having Accarli over Engvall? Gee, Accarli playoff record is not good at all.</div></div>

I know physicality often gets overrated but engvall has shown that he is unwilling to get to the dirty areas and doesn't have the skill to make up for it. Can look good in a low intensity game against columbus but 0 goals in three years in a row is telling. Plus accari plays center which could push kampf down to the 4th line

That could be any team. I just feel like a team will look at a 6'5 player with good numbers and take him thinking they could get him to play a tougher style (which he can't).

He would have led the entire Blue Jackets roster in even strength points. Nowhere close to a bottom 6 forward on Columbus

Would count on the poor season being because of seattle's defence as he was the best goalie out of the three
