Thread: Matthews vs McDavid
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>2 games... Nice sample size lol

Having the ability to take over a game and going out and doing it every night are 2 completely different things. McDavid isn't "just a beast offensively" he redefined beast offensively.

It takes a true homer like yourself to actually consider taking Matthews over McDavid</div></div>

It has nothing to do with what team I follow. In fact I never said what team I even follow the most. It's the fact that Matthews is a better defensive player and the offensive side isn't THAT big of a difference to say that McDavid's poor defence would still set him apart. You say McDavid can take over again, sure he can. But so can Matthews. And Matthews does it in different ways than just offence.

We can sit here and debate all night, but I'm not wasting my time on it. If you watch the game and look at the stats, Matthews is the far more complete player.

Thread: I did this before but EICHEL LIKE TRADE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsCharlies</b></div><div>You are wrong. Both really good players. Trade value would be very similar but McAvoy might have a little more based on two more years development and experience.</div></div>

In terms of trade value, Dahlin's age and amount of years of team control would out weigh McAvoy's " 2 more years of development and experience"

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsCharlies</b></div><div>Please tell me the records he has been setting. I am interested in the specifics. McAvoy was playing top pair as a teenager.</div></div>

Dahlin had the second most points ever by a teenage defence men behind some guy named Bobby Orr. Being a Bruins fan, I'm sure you've heard of that guy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsCharlies</b></div><div>I'm going to make a point to see Dahlin when Boston and Buffalo finally meet. Have you watched McAvoy this year? If not, do so. You might restate your McAvoy/Dahlin point. If you have watched him and you still want to stick with your point of view then Dahlin should be winning the Norris hands down this year.</div></div>

Norris isn't a Smokey individual award and if you think so then you clearly know not a damn thing about hockey. It's not Dahlin's fault he plays for one of the worst organization's in sports. If he actually HD talent around him, he'd get more recognition. Awards typically go to guys that play on competitive teams. But if you wanna sit there and use that lame excuse, sure. Go right ahead.

Thread: Trade with TOR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs09</b></div><div>He's eaten alive in Toronto, which possibly could be worse than Philly.
I've always like the look of the Nylander for Konecny flip, but donlt think it will ever happen.</div></div>

He's tore apart by Toronto media for different reasons though. It's not a culture thing there, they just expect every player to be perfect. Philly's media is something else, and they seem to go at guys that don't fit the broad street bullies theme.

I do agree a flip isn't likely to happen mainly cause I don't see Philly giving up Konency who's a younger version of Marchand. Something I've suggested before that makes sense still is Nylander for Patrick, Lindblom, and a 1st. Toronto needs two way centres and Patrick could be a great fit if he stays healthy, he might not see top 6 time in Philly at centre with their depth there.

Thread: Gibson to a Contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>Robertson isnt a replacement for Nylander. There are more than a few steps between them right now. You'd be taking a driving force of the top 6 and replacing it with a rookie who hasn't shown hes able to have an impact yet. This for a team who isn't confident in their offense and is looking for a top 6 forward to compliment it already. Your idea still makes no sense and isn't a fit for the Leafs at all.</div></div>

:grimace

There's never any logical debate with Leafs fans.


... offence doesn't win you championships. Defence wins. Goaltender is the most important position on the ice. Unless you're comfortable going into next season with Campbell and Hutchinson as the tandem. There's not many good options on the free agent list to fill that spot. Nylander is expendable. Offence can be created by a team effort, where as Nylander clearly doesn't commit to defence.

Thread: Gibson to a Contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>A package including Nylander makes no sense when the Leafs are already looking for another top 6 forward. Trading one of the big 4 would just change that from want to a very big need. It also makes no sense for the Ducks. By the time they are competing, Nylander would be a UFA.</div></div>

actually, it does for both sides.

Leafs move Nylander and get an upgrade in net which is something that has slowly dragged them down in playoffs. Nylander would have to be moved in that package. Replacing him would be Robertson, which not only replaces the scoring but save them cap hit on a forward. You can then sign another forward similar to Hyman to be the puck getter on the second line. Not every forward has to be an offensive juggernaut, they have enough of that in Matthews, Marner, and Tavares (and Robertson could very well fit in with that group). For Anaheim, they're gonna need a highly skilled player to play with Zegras. Nylander fits that and has shown he's capable of it by playing with the likes of Matthews and Tavares. Nylander can be signed to an extension before he hits UFA, and a guy like him would likely love the California lifestyle and could certainly re-up there to play on a contender with year round beautiful weather.

I get you may not like the idea of the deal, and I'm not saying it's likely to happen: but you can't deny it's a fit for both teams.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I think Florida, Toronto and Vegas don’t make sense. The first 3 yes</div></div>

Toronto makes a lot of sense actually. They're losing Andersen this off-season and could use a bonafide starter like Gibson.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>Toronto cant take his cap hit in net. They are probably going to be cutting costs in net this upcoming offseason or at the very least not going above Freddy's current 5 mil aav.</div></div>

Simple: a package with Nylander as the main part makes a ton of sense for both sides and makes the cap work for Toronto. A $1.4M increase for a big increase of Andersen isn't a bad price to pay. The issue with Andersen is that he hasn't lived up to his salary for about a season to justify a raise. If they got get someone better for only a little more than Andersen, I'd bet they'd highly consider it.

Thread: Point Offer sheet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>My point is they are planning on paying him is money. He’s gonna get at least $10M X 6 years from Tampa so I just don’t see what this would do other than save Tampa money.</div></div>

... and that's what people said about Kucherov. &amp; Stamkos. &amp; Vasilevskiy. .. Is Point better than all 3 of them? Certainly not. Could argue he's better than Stamkos, but Stamkos is a pure goal scorer and goal scorer's get paid more all the time. None of those players make over $9.5M AAV, mainly due to the tax situation in Tampa. I don't see Point getting more than $9.5M AAV because of that.

Also, I'm pretty sure his QO is actually $9M, not $9.5m as you said. His base salary for that season is $9M and a team is only required to offer him 100% of that, not anything more.
