Thread: deadline dealing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>babouie</b></div><div>WHERE ? Is edmonton giving up two firsts ? Russel is a number 6 or even 7 dman . Zadorov is a young top four dman .</div></div>

Holloway was taken in the first round last year, so him plus a first round pick equals two first round picks. Saying Russell is a 6/7 Dman just tells me you don’t have a clue what he does. He is currently spotting in at 2LD and is doing it well. Giving him greater responsibility over the younger D helped stabilize the defence and helped get Edmonton out of the funk they were in early in the season. A 6/7 dman is not capable of doing that. While zadorov would certainly be an upgrade over Russell, the difference is no where near 2 firsts.

According to your logic, four firsts gets you Jack Eichel, and two firsts gets you Subban, Zadorov, and Carpenter. So just package up those three players with two first rounders and see if you can get Buffalo fans to agree to give you Eichel. You can’t.

This whole player evaluation is skewed so that your team wins the trade. It’s just not reasonable for Edmonton to be handing you assets like that.

Thread: equal dollar value trade who wins
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheOtherAuston</b></div><div>But obviously an opinion has to be based on stats and facts. Not just a laundry crush.</div></div>

Yeah it does have to be based on stats and fact. So tell me, how is Muzzin better than nurse? How is Holl better than Bear? How is mikheyev even close in value to Puljujarvi? Seems like you are the one making stuff up.

Nurse has been absolutely stellar this season. He’s played tons, put up some key goals, and through all of it been sound defensively. He’s also 6 years younger than Muzzin.

Bear averaged over 21 minutes a night as a rookie on the best regular season Canadian team. Holl was no where near that good last year. And It was just a freak accident that caused Bear to miss time this year, he was on the bench when it happened.

Puljujarvi has been playing really hard defensively responsible hockey, and oh yeah, he has great offensive upside and has started to break out the last while. I think he’s got 6 goals in the last 10 games and it looks like the sky’s the limit on McDavids wing. Really, you’re saying Dubas could call up Holland right now and say: hey want to do Puljujarvi for Mikheyev 1 for 1? That’s just crazy. They’re not even close to being “about equal”

Thread: nylanders value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_fan13</b></div><div>he’s a 24 year old 1st line player. who’s great in transition. who makes under 7 million. this is the price you pay if you want a 1st liner to play w mcdavid</div></div>

No it’s not. This is the price you pay if you want to pay double for a player. Yams is an excellent young forward who will continue to get better, he may be a point a game player playing with Draisaitl in the future. Broburg has shown excellent progression since the draft and may end up being the #1D man the oilers desperately need. It would be stupid of Edmonton to make the trade even if it were just these two players. They will be much cheaper than Nylander for the next few years, meaning there is more money to spend on goaltending and defence.

I really don’t understand how leafs fans come to the conclusion that their players, and only their players, are the best to ever play the game. Nylander’s not worth near what you say, and if he is, then go use him to win a cup.

Thread: Insane Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensibleguy</b></div><div>This is the other side of the coin, how much is cap relief worth? I still don’t support this trade idea, but it’s not far off in value.</div></div>

How much is cap relief worth you ask? Let’s take a stab. How many firsts would it take for Detroit to take on James Neal? And he’s only overpaid by about $3.25M dollars ( I put his value at around $2.5M) for the next 3 years. So take that number of picks and multiply it by 5 to get to $15M per year in cap savings.

It’s a lot. My guess is a first and a third, so something like 6 first round picks in total. So if you send 6 firsts Edmonton’s way, then sure.

And again I’m saying skill wise the trade would be in Edmonton’s favour, but taking the salary cap into consideration, it becomes entirely one sided.
