Thread: Petty 3 Way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffSkinnerFan53</b></div><div>Being a Preds fan, I learned about Jarvis from the combined AHL Team. I knew he was good but there’s a lot of trade proposals involving Bokk. I’ve never heard of him before.</div></div>

Bokk was originally drafted by the Blues 27th (I think maybe 26th) overall. Canes acquired him in the deal for Faulk along with Joel Edmundson. While with the Blues he wasn't really living up to his 1st round pedigree in the SHL. Last year he came over to the AHL with our shared Wolves team and looked a lot better. That could be because that team was stacked and the competition in the AHL took a hit with the addition of the taxi squad, but we'll see this year. I think his role in the NHL (if he makes it) is depth goal scoring with a role on the PP.

Thread: Svech
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>No need for the arrogant jab at the start there kid.

As for Tkachuk vs Svechnikov debate, 2 things with that:
1. Yes you're right. Tkachuk had a down season - to which he's actually talked about a lot for it. Part of the reason why he's been in trade rumours.
2. Tkachuk's performance as absolutely nothing to do with Svechnikov's. Not even a second of it. The fact that you whine about another player having a bad season but not being talked about, and try to use that as an excuse for Svechnikov's contract is absolutely ridiculous. You clearly don't know anything about hockey if that's how you talk.

Go cry yourself about people talking about Svechnikov's contract. Until he produces at a better rate, he'll be talked about as overpaid. When Toronto signed Nylander he was talked about as overpaid until he started performing better - well Nylander makes less than Svechnikov despite outscoring and out performing him on their ELC's. The point is: until you perform for what your contract is worth, you're overpaid. You can argue potential all want. But until he lives up to it, it means nothing.</div></div>

How do you start with "No need for the arrogant jab at the start there kid." and in the same message you say "Go cry yourself about people talking about Svechnikov's contract."?

You're no better than the person you're calling out...
