Thread: TDL moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MauriceArthur15</b></div><div>Just realized I didn’t answer the 1st part of your question. Balcers is a hidden gem nobody knows about. His speed and skill fits perfectly in the 3rd line. Think of a Mikheyev that can put the puck in the net</div></div>

He was waived a year ago, and is getting a shot at more ice time because a team without great wing depth has dealt with injuires (and Kane all season).

"Think of Mikheyev that can put the puck in the net" Really???

Balcers career 113 games 16g
Mikheyev career 93 games 15g

And everyone knows how Mikheyev looked last year, as far as finishing.

Balcers numbers don't scream "can put the puck in the net".

He's certainly nowhere near 1st round trade value.

The whole point of finding/signing "hidden gems" is that they don't cost a lot.

Thread: Mrazek to Oil
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Yeah, Mrazek at $3M or under i get but in a flat cap world for almost $4M for a backup is just too much. I think the Leafs were comfortable given Soup's injury history, but diving into advanced analytics from his days in Carolina and it's clear his success was a result of solid defending in front of him. Not saying he's awful but almost $4m for a backup is a luxury that not many teams are going to pay the Leafs for. Leafs may have to at $1M if they want a decent asset back for him. With Flowers unlikely to sign again in Chicago, I could see Chicago using Mrazek as a backup at $2.8m for a 4th rounder or so.</div></div>

yeah, none of that is true at all. Mrazek is adequatly paid for a guy who is a 1B. which he is and the fact that he had an unlucky injury in his first game doesnt change that. He's paid exactly what he's worth on good term.
