Thread: Garland to DET
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skytown</b></div><div>I don’t understand why Garlands value is so low. There’s rumblings in the market of a buyout if no one will take him. I think that’s asinine. I’m not a fancy stat guy, so maybe there’s a reason there, but he has had a 46 and 52 point seasons in Vancouver. I don’t get why people wouldn’t jump at the chance to get a 50pts mid 6 player like him for a 2nd.

As for Hirose… WOW! Didn’t look at his stats until now. I just added him because we have Akito lol. Couple nice AHL seasons. Is he a late bloomer, or is he simply a very good AHL player who for whatever reason just can’t make that jump to the NHL?</div></div>

I think the biggest part that scares at least me was the issue with Vancouver at the start of the year where the whole team just stank. Obviously things have turned around, but that essentially cut sample size in half.

Hirose is interesting; he was 1st in the NCAA for points in 2018/19, and his AHL stuff is alright. Would like to see him this season under a decent coach. Not sure his deal, though.

Thread: Miller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skytown</b></div><div>Going to disregard the bottom 10 comment, but I am curious about Morrow as a player.
While I haven’t read a whole lot on him, I haven’t seen anything negative about him and he seems like a helluva prospect. Just how good is he/is he going to be? Also, is he signing in Carolina? Could another Adam Fox situation be happening? Doesn’t he have to sign this summer, or does he have one more year?</div></div>

He's very good, I (and a lot of other ppl, far smarter than me) had him as a top 15-20 player in his draft class, and he's been extremely good at UMass since then. I haven't heard anything about him not wanting to sign in CAR, and he would have to play another 2 years in the NCAA before becoming a free agent.

Thread: Parayko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oliver_wahlstrom</b></div><div>If you wouldnt do this to get him off the books youre crazy. He is terrible lmao. Arguably worse than Seth Jones</div></div>

No he’s not lmao.

That’s a horrid take.

He’s literally the only one in our top 4 who can handle top 4 shutdown minutes. Which he gets at a very heavy rate.

He’s not a #1 d man like we’d all hoped. But he’s certainly a top pair guy. Especially if he got better than 35% OZ starts. He still manages to get around 30 points a season doing so which is wild especially given no PP time.

He’s being asked to take on by far the hardest usage on the team, and probably one of the hardest matchups in the league while playing half the season with Mikkola and the other half with Leddy. Tell me who is going to have great statistical seasons in that usage.
