Thread: Letang to WPG Byfuglien to PIT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>That's an interesting Letang trade. Really a long term salary dump by the Pens. IMO Winnipeg wouldn't go for it due to Letang's contract/health and possible declining play in future years. Is there another team that might bite though?
The Leaf trade, if the Leafs thought there was at least one of the players coming back that could be a good NHLer they might go for it. Somehow I think the Leafs believe there is better value for these two players in separate deals.</i></div></div>

Letang having injuries doesn't make him a salary dump. Lmao. And WPG doesn't get a cost-controlled #1 RHD, Norris candidate, puck-moving, point producer for an UFA to be. Injury history or not. To think that they would turn that down is ludicrous.

Thread: well now...! (pt III)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div><i>HAHAHA</i></div></div>

More Pens optimism on the value of their players, though the Kreider deal better have the first rounder lottery protected if I was JR.</i></div></div>

I'll go ahead and assume you didn't read the description on the pts 1/2 then because you don't know what you are commenting on clearly. Don't necessarily blame you for not searching for the context, no point in goin to that kind of trouble for something as dumb as the imaginary teams on this borderline obscure hockey website. However, with that in mind, it's weird that you tried to be smug about something you didn't know anything about and didn't bother to look into further.

Anywho, you try wayyyyy too hard to make this place like HF Boards or something man. It's not that. Give it up my friend.

Thread: Staal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ssudzzy</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>Well Hemsky probably isn't much worse than Staal and his contract ends 6 years sooner. Bring up Ritchie and put Hemsky in AHL (he'll clear waivers) and the Stars would still be better off.</i></div></div>

You are under rating Staals defensive abilities which Hemsky has none. Staal is an upgrade on Eakin. Albeit an expensive one but he is a lot better than you are leading on.</i></div></div>

No idea if that guy knows who Hemsky and JStaal are based on that kind of comment. Yeesh.

Anyway, If the Stars managed to pull this off they might not lose another game lol. Eakins is a very good 3rd line center but Staal is elite defensively and his offense is going through a lull but is very good as well.

Thread: hmm. neat and cool imo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>Russian Factor: I think your analysis can be summed in in your last line of second last paragraph. "And Scuds makes infinite sense from a PIT perspective. Scrivens costs less and is on the books for a year less and--most importantly it makes sure Scuderi can't be played."

My analysis was that Armchair GMs were trying to offload like Scuderi, (who has little playing value) to teams that have salary cap. Thanks for proving my point. You said it "infinite sense from a PIT perspective". Try thinking of the other teams perspective when making trades.

You don't understand any of my analysis? Great. My explanation of the your horrible Scuderi trade must be too logical for you..</i></div></div> I say I don't understand any of your analysis and have several sentences breaking down why, soooo you intentionally focus in on one sentence at the end? And you missed the point of that sentence anyway, but whatever this is already dumb. Anyway, keep playing make-believe Armchair GM Trade Expert and taking fantasy team trades embarrassingly seriously though, my man. I would just suggest that you try a little harder on the actually knowing what you're talking about part, but then again I'm not the expert with 900 posts of veteran experience in being a pedantic commenter on a site for making imaginary sports teams.
