Thread: just playing around with value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheTinkler</b></div><div>Its fair I just really prefer to get into discussions on this website about how to adjust trades or how it could go down and i love it when the convos go forever even if i end up being wrong but sometimes on here it feels like people jump right to insults and low ratings instead of discussions but yes i think they can avoid a rebuild 100 percent and yeah that first deal was intense i was hoping someone would come in and debate and negotiate it lol but thanks.</div></div>

Yeah I get that. And I'm down to have a discussion, that why I replied and said nothing insulting, just that I disagreed with your trade, which is why the rating system is there; to give my feedback on the team/trade. I didn't come in here and call you a moron or anything, and if what you put the other trade on there I would not have given it a one star. No harm meant brother.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheTinkler</b></div><div>I disagree maybe giving up bpqvist could swap him for someone else in that system but the truth is he is better than any defenceman on your team and would help improve that team right away without losing a roster player and one star for that lol wake up.</div></div>

Well first Chicago isn't my team haha. But you have to remember that Chicago just finished in the bottom 10 of the league. I don't know if they need to do a full fledged rebuild, but they're just simply not going to give up that much draft capital when they aren't a playoff team right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheTinkler</b></div><div>you could swap boqvist for jokiharju and maybe remove a 1st and turn it into another 2nd</div></div>

I think this is a lot more reasonable, still don't know if it happens, but who knows what happens because it seems like Ottawa wants to package Ryan with Karlsson, which really diminishes the return. Sorry to upset you with the rating, but the first trade was atrocious.

Thread: DRW No Zetterberg
Absolutely, I personally would almost prefer Larkin to get a bridge. There just hasn't been much discussion in the public's eye when it comes to his contract about how much and how long. Just personally I would feel uncomfortable for signing him long term for anymore than that 5.25

With Zetterberg (and Larkin too), only time will tell. To me, it just seems that if he couldn't practice the whole second half of last season, he can't be in the greatest of condition. Not saying he didn't play well by any means, but I'm sure his back is only going to get worse from here on out if he keeps playing. I think he just may retire in order to keep his body in the best condition possible for his life after the league.

With all that being said, I'm excited to see how this year plays out, and am very hopeful for the future!
