Thread: Playoff push
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MayDay19</b></div><div>agree to disagree, by that comment I am guessing you are more of a numbers /analytics/ gf% guy than you are a guy that thinks having muscle in the lineup that can play provides a huge advantage and helps the younger smaller players on the ice play with some freedom. I guess I will just have to lean on the countless amount of high end superstar NHL players that emphatically state the need for a few guys on the team that can make sure they dont get driven through the boards or physically intimidated after every whistle.. I guess guys like Gretz, Roenick, Hull, Briere, Bergeron are just plain wrong.</div></div>

Not meant to be a slight or an insult, just a conversation piece, i respect your opinion either way.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>First, we’d likely have to give up too much to get him

Second, he’s ALWAYS hurt

Third, tough guys DO NOT deter cheap shots &amp; i don’t find much value in retaliation

Fourth, he’ll be over 30 when his contract ends after next season &amp; isn’t a guy we should sign again. We shouldn’t be spending assets on a guy who’ll be here for basically a year.
It’s a waste of assets


Terrible idea</div></div>

It’s a thought experiment, an opinion. I have mine you have yours. I’m not calling you stupid bc of it I’m not saying you’re wrong. I just tend to disagree and you disagree with me it’s ok. It’s for fun. I shared my viewpoint you shared yours. Frankie say relax…</div></div>

Most minny fans are completely overvaluing their players for some reason. In no world is Greenway worth a 2nd. Lets be real, dude has 6 pts...6!! on the 3rd line! He is also 26 and has discipline issues. Come on man, be real, at best they get a 3rd for him or a player of similar stature. I agree with the knarf, Aspund has more points than Greenway in only 27 games and he is younger. If you are a Minny fans you need to take off the love goggles and accept that your players aren't as valuable as you think.

Thread: Move over Adams
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>Oh no, I see it. Plenty of guys up front that don't hit. Not many can score 30 while making under 5 million. I'd start with mittelstadt. You can have Bryson too, and if you want to ante up and replace jokiharju with somebody who is better and more physical, I'd like that too.</div></div>

I am not married to these moves, but I am married to the driving factors behind them. You can't have a 21 year old Cozens be your muscle, the poor kid is what 180lbs? You cant rely on Okposo who is a shadow of himself, you need that backbone, you need that guy (guys) that will make this team hard to play against. My trade proposal simply represents the need to get tough so our stars can do their thing!
