Thread: Doing Steve Dangle Pyramid for Nucks, half done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Demko is below DiPietro. Demko in my opinion is overrated. He has an amazing rep that I think is massively undeserved. He's thought of as the next Louongo or Schnieder by Canuck fans but he's not even the best goalie in the AHL. He was completely outplayed by Sparks who was the best goalie in the minors last year and yet Demko is a blue chipper and Sparks is a marginal prospect. Make sense of that for me.</div></div>

You also have to look at age and experience .... Demko has played 2 seasons now in the AHL improving his save % and his GAA in year 2 .... Sparks is already 25 and has already played 6 seasons in the AHL (well sort of) as he hasn't been consistent enough to stick around... and his previous season was about that same as what Demko had last year. That's why Demko is still a good prospect and Sparks is only marginal. You also have to consider the team playing in front of each goalie .... the Marlies were much better than the Comets last year.

Thread: Replacing prospects into players their projected to become
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nucks17</b></div><div>i dont see boeser being like a wheeler. wheeler is more of a power forward that drives to the net and is more or a playmaker than boeser. Boeser has more of a shoot first instinct (but still good at passing dont get me wrong), but i think Tarasenko would be the better comparason.</div></div>

I was having trouble with Boeser as I first compared him to the Sniper Sean Monahan as Boeser is also an accurate shooter. However, Monahan was a Center so that comparison was off. Then I saw that Wheeler also had a very accurate shot but barely ever used it. If Wheeler was a goal scoring winger rather than a playmaking one it'd make sense. However, I agree Tarasenko is a better comparison. In the end, Boeser will be a very unique player and one of his kind and I can't wait

Thread: Big trade with the Oil
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CzechingOut</b></div><div>Gravel had 3 points in 16 games, Hutton had 6 in 61, both are 6/7 dman
Stome and Bart both have 92 pts but Bart is a winger and Stome is a centre, points are a wash but Strome has more valuable due to being a C
Tanev has never played a full season and puts up an average of less then 15 points a season more often then not. He is an overpaid bottom pair dman on 28 teams in the league team. Nurse is a a top 4 dman. Hes also 5 years younger.

The only joke here is the thought process you used to to convince yourself that taking on Lucic's contract was worth Edmonton taking on 2 players they already have and a significant downgrade at D.</div></div>

1) When healthy*, Tanev is an excellent **** suppression partner for a more offensive-minded Dman in the top four. It’s a joke calling him a bottom pairing guy.

2) Not sure why you’re comparing Baertschi and Strome when Strome isn’t involved in the trade. The swap at forward is Baertschi for Lucic, which nets the Oilers WAY more speed on the attack and fair bit of cap space.

3) Hutton is a decent LD that was a supplementary piece to fill in for the spot that Sekera is leaving. Could be DelZotto instead though. Either way, the Oilers can walk away from their cap hits at the end of the year.
