Thread: Gibson to a Contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>Florida trading for Gibson would be awesome to see...when you can, you have to lock up 20% of your cap into Goalies. This should be a rule.

Joking aside, trading Gibson to a team like the Oilers would be a travesty...he struggles in Anaheim because their team defensive is not great. Why would it be different in EDM?</div></div>

A thesis, Gibson plays meh mid-season because the team in front of him is actual ass, like worst team in the league ass, like they are AWFUL, but he always does well for the first quarter of the season, I thnk what it is is that when you have no goal support and know you wont get it it becomes a lot harder to play, there are goalies who do well even if they don't necessarily have good D in front of them, such as hellebuyck. But if you have no offense and no goal support that is soul crushing, The Ducks are 0-11-5 when the opponent scores more than one goal, Gibby knows that if he lets in two goals they will not win the game, that's gotta be crushing and stressful. Gibby always starts well in the season but with one disappointing night after another he probably gets crushed by lack of team support. No D and no goal support, what the point in trying, and you can see it in his eyes near the end of each game, he looks crushed

Thread: Gibson to Colorado
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>What is up with Rakell? He is being heavily guarded with a 60% o zone start this season and still low xGFs and SCs.</div></div>

He is snake bitten but should break out anytime soon, he leads the team in shots by a wide margin, hes made good plays consistently, the issue is shooting percentage, currently less than 3% shootong percentage, his career average is 12% and when on good teams he got 15%+, he has been our best forward, tied with Comtois but for opposite reasons, Comtois has a really good percentage. On Carolina with some good opportunity and ice time with better line mates he would at least be a twenty goal scorer, like worst case scenario, and Id expect that he returns to his 30+ goal pace. Also last i checked he was second to last in the league in Goals below expected with -6, so really he should have like 8 goals which on this team is really good

Thread: prospects would you rather
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>Colangelo might have a bit more upside offensively, but I really like Greig's overall game a little more, and I think he does a better job than Colangelo as a pest. I'll say Greig, but Colangelo might have a better ceiling.

I'd take Perreault over Jarventie 1000%. I think both could fit similar roles as "one dimensional" goal scorers, but I think Perreault just has a much better skillset.

Stützle over Byfield and it isn't really close at this point. Obviously Byfield still has a ton of room to grow, and can still become the better player, but I don't see how you can make the argument for Byfield after seeing what Stützle is already able to do at the NHL level.

Drysdale has boatloads of offensive talent, but I think Sanderson does the "unsexy" things at such a high level I don't think it's unfair to suggest he'll be the more valuable player. I'm sure most will go with Drysdale though. Think the difference maker will be if Sanderson is able to find another gear offensively.</div></div>

You make a lot of valuable points, imo Grieg and Colangelo are pretty equal, I think Perreault has a couple more tools that make him a bit better, and Byfield is definitely a bet on upside, Sanderson Drysdale though might be impossible to predict though, it really is close between the two of them
