Thread: TDL Blockbuster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>Meh, I’d rather have Sillinger than Scheifele at the moment. Also don’t think I’d want to spend whatever it is going to cost to keep Helleybuck until his age 38 season.

It screams Bobrovsky 2.0.</div></div>

I think it’s disrespectful for Hellebuyck
He is a way better goaltender than Bob IMO

Thread: Kovalenko is a Thing

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Nah, RyJo had arguably his worst season ever and still was within 4pts of Colton in 17 less games. I fully anticipate him being paired with Mikko and just feeding Moose and to pick up a bunch of pts on the PP I really like his addition and not to knock Colton but if he is playing 2C the Avs are just having a repeat of last year because Colton is most definitely not a 2C.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Avsfantrumpetman</b></div><div>Right now he isn't, but I'm not discounting more growth from him. I think that's why we opted for him over Compher (other than money). Like I said, just a hunch.</div></div>

IMO the top 6 should be :
Drouin-Mac-Val
Lehky-RyJo-Moose

Gotta keep Drouin & Mac together & Lehky & Moose together

Thread: Boqvist

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Haymaker26</b></div><div>That's not what my concern was with the trade. What do the Penguins get out of this deal? They don't get a player that will make them better. They don't get under the salary cap. They give up draft capital.
The Pens still have several immediate problems that this trade does absolutely nothing to solve. Just buying Granlund out with DOC's arbitration would be much more beneficial than this.</div></div>

The only thing that PIT get out of this deal was getting rid of one year of Granlund
But the buyout option is a better way than paying a 2nd

Thread: Boqvist

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pens1991</b></div><div>While that is true about term, the penguins are clearly in absolute win now mode. So if they have to play one of the two i'd rather play the guy that's got a better chance to stay healthy and contribute vs. be focused on term remaining. Either pay to move Granlund to open cap, buy him out or play him over Hoffman.</div></div>

Yes Pittsburgh might decline that trade offer, not because MTL wouldn’t do it PIT should do it. It’s just a bad team for both sides

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>V1NnY2</b></div><div>Boqvist has been in the NHL for 4 years and has never played more than 52 games.. better offensively than Harris, sure enough, but Harris is more reliable. CBJ has a surplus of RHD while MTL has too many LHD.</div></div>

Yes Harris is better overall than Boqvist, but not because CBJ have a surplus of RHD means they need LHD
Both MTL & CBJ have a lot of NHL defenseman but not a lot of top 6 forwards
Bad trade partners

Thread: Boqvist

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Haymaker26</b></div><div>I think the Pens decline as well. Hoffman only saves $500k over Granny - so they'd still be over the cap - and is also on the decline and 2 years older going to the team that's still the oldest in the league.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pens1991</b></div><div>At least Granlund stays healthy</div></div>

It's not a question of who is better, they are both cap dumps, but one got one year remaining while the other have terms

You've joined in May 2022, I've been here since 2017. Disagrement and difference of opinion is part of this forum. So far you haven't based any of your comments in anything tangible - how does that make your opinion better than mine.

Thread: First Game Lineup Predictions

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VictoriaRoyalsHomer</b></div><div>This comment right here just exemplifies the delusion the users of the website suffer from.

Hey man: it's an interactive hockey website. You could be having an argument with Steve Yzerman for all you know. This chronically online ego of "Ive been makin ACGM's for 75 years; I know who knows the game of hockey and who does not!" is craaaaaaaaazy. Hockey is a sport for everyone, just because you spend hours making fantasy lineups and criticizing others doesn't give you supreme hockey knowledge. Chill out.</div></div>

Lmao you guys are so dumb it's not even funny
The guy above is always way off with his trade proposal, always way off on every guy he is signing
All of the line up he makes never come close to what they are in reality
