Thread: Winnipeg fans are delulu
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>He will get the same rental value as any other TDL top 6 C.
Zero leverage isn't a thing, PLD can control part of where he goes, but not all of it. Even if he QOs for a year elsewhere or decides that he is willing to consider a long term deal other than MTL, he will receive value proportional to a rental player at a deadline.

I'd say the habs fans are more delusional than the jets fans, as per usual.</div></div>

Right, but that's all he is. A rental player. So that's a 1st and a B prospect. And I imagine other teams may treat it as a rental and ask the Jets to retain perhaps. If MTL knows he wants to come there, watch I think he does, and it's not an issue giving him the 8yrs (or they don't minding trading a 4th or whatever at the draft next yr for his rights), they should wait.

Thread: Ideal Off-Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GladeBang12</b></div><div>It might be a little risky/experimental but it’s better than going into next season with JT as 2C. The other options are very limited. Domi has a lot of upside and really hasn’t ever been given a sustained opportunity to play between two elite players. He had a really good year in 18-19 before the habs started playing him on the wing (where he doesn’t thrive).</div></div>

It is not better than going into next season with JT at 2C. It's not ideal for JT to be a C, but if your choice is JT at C or Max Domi, it's not even a question. Even with his slow speed and subpar defense, he would be miles better at C.

I don't know how long people are going to keep citing that Domi outlier year at C. We know that's not him, and there is a reason he doesn't play C.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Samsoc222</b></div><div>Nobody is debating that Provy needs a good partner next to him that’s why he’s not a true #1 but he absolutely can be a 1A/1B player. Provy and Niskanen were one of the best pairings in the league in 2019 and the Flyers literally were the hottest team in the league before COVID hit and nosedived the team. He hasn’t had a real partner since then because of Flyers mismanagement. He can easily take on top competition with a good partner next to him and history proves that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Samsoc222</b></div><div>Dude it’s a 2 year contract and the Flyers can retain salary. Provy would be one of the best 2nd pairing defensemen in the league and is still a low end 1st pairing guy with a good partner. If you don’t like him as a person that’s totally fair but the dude on the ice eats minutes and blocks shots at will. Saying he won’t improve the team is ridiculous lol</div></div>

Lol I will always be amazed that fans can spend countless hours watching the players on their teams and somehow still be so clueless. Provorov is not close to a low-end 1. Lol he has one good year. He will need to be next to a dman that will need to prop him up, and he has never shown that he can take on top comp and perform well. All that for $6.7mil? It's laughable.
