Thread: Now these guys really need Dubois
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>Yup. I am not sold on Strome at all.

Inwas of the school of thought of trading down and drafting Byfield...... clearly an organizational need.

But adding Dubois? This team enters some contender conversations imo.</div></div>

Ya, a lot of people are hesitant about him... I wrote this in another thread as most(ALL but me) don't know this.

With Bread and on 1st PP unit he put up 18G &amp; 41A in 70GP
Without Bread and not on 1st PP he put 18G and 15A in 63GP
Now for the fun part... Strome only had 9 assists on Panarin goals and 7 of the 9 were 1st assists meaning he set Bread up for the goals... Maybe some of the credit of Bread, Zibby, Kreids, Chytil and Fast all having their best seasons should go to Strome in fact.

I wouldn't jump off a cliff over his salary and given our depth up front... if he regresses by a lot then sure.

Thread: Blow it up Firesale Teardown Rebuild Fire Everyone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bigboi69</b></div><div>They lose there second best dman and second best prospect for a guy with much less potential and a prospect who might be good and might not then a cap dump</div></div>

ADA is primarily offensive minded and Fox fills his void on the PP better. He isn't reliable defensively and is clearly a head case at times... for instance in TB/AZN and now benched the last 2 games. But yes he is unreal offensively which we can fill the void.. Kakko reminds me of Buch, slowly but surely you will get there but its painful in the first 3 years watching it and coming out of a rebuild I'd rather be ready to win. But I completely get what you're saying and I'm fine with the team as is. I just think if that is proposed to us we pull the trigger. Still have Kravs in KHL waiting to come over also. Lundkvist slides in for ADA

Thread: Did the Leafs need to trade Kadri
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>I feel like, given your history of hating on players who have 1 bad game, that you were screaming "TRADE KADRRRRRIIIII!" in the streets after he was suspended for the second consecutive time in the playoffs.

Now, I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

They got Barrie, retained, which was supposed to fill the hole on RD (Which he obviously didn't).</div></div>

You're bang on! That's exactly how it went down. He became the scapegoat and the team reacts for the fans. People don't realize this yet but for every positive or negative thing you say online, tweet, fb, etc... The organizations to have access to reading these statements. So when 4 million people are pumping the brakes and dumping on a guy he will be moved if possible. If 4 million people are pumping the tires on a guy like Dermott then they will feel like the fans like him and he will be kept. Just like making $$ is part of the game, so is marketing... I know 30+ people who said he needed to go and now say the opposite.

Thread: CBJ Fans
Well, Those packages look good if he is in fact a top 15 1C. Part of the issue is many think he is an elite 2C or a 1C on teams that don't have 1C.. Many teams already have two 1C so immediately they are out of the conversation.. Other teams already have a 1C and 2C and PLD won't be much of an upgrade and not worth the price tag. LVGK seem to be doing well with Chandler so I doubt they make that move. MTL is having success down the middle so they walk. NYR could certainly look to upgrade 2C and they have more than enough assets to do so without losing Laf, Kakko, Fox. I don't see him as an elite 1C so I would say that cost is high while it also wouldn't hurt us to give it up. And yes, I know he "should" be better in a different system. At the end of all of this I think I pull the trigger on that deal if push came to shove but not because that is a good or even the right value. But sometimes you have to overpay.
