Thread: Fantilli turns Pro and MTL buys out Armia
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>44% of all NJD faceofs are taken by Haula and Mcleod.
So they both play 4th line Center is what you're saying ?

If Boqvist is a Center , so is Josh Anderson and Gallagher.
Being forced to lose faceoffs at a 35 and 37% win rate at 350-550 draws isnt a strong argument.
By that logic Drouin's a great Center , said no one ever.

I'll give you 2 of those people you have signed that you named.
But Haula is sketchy as he's playing 2nd line minutes on most teams
Mcleod is legit a 4th Liner and IMO probably one of the NHL's best just like Sissons was in NSH before he grew into a Middle 6 guy.

You're offering up better quality in RFA's and a guy who's not been called a 4th line center since Minnisota. He may have been inconsistent and had stints there but never stays there.

Faksa has been playing 4th line for like 5 + years
Bellmare has been playing 4th line Center for a Decade.

That's what i was talking about.
But if you can find a better player who can win faceoffs who is AVAILABLE then i'd do it to.
But what you did was look only and go "there's a C by his name , all C's are created equal , clearly"

But now that you brought it up how much is Mcleod going for since he's Available?</div></div>

Oh so your only argument is he wins faceoffs at a decent rate.

your best comparable of a recent trade is Lazar, who was 700k a year cheaper and just went for a 4th round pick

Thread: Could Carter Hart be the guy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Roperttos</b></div><div>You are litarally going against facts and just saying that they are not true lmao. You are like a stubborn old man who can't accept the reality</div></div>

Pretty incredible. Based of this statement i don’t think you know what the words, “literally,” or, “facts,” mean.

It’s subjective. It can’t be fact.

But, lets deal with reality. Let’s deal with this from an objective standpoint. Let’s deal with facts. Hart started the season hot as a pistol, and unsustainably so. Since then (11/7), he’s been bad. Really bad.
He ranks 69th (nice) in save % with a horrid .896, and 65th in GAA with a 3.18. That’s bad.

Now, because I can already sense it coming, don’t give me the, “well it’s because he plays for a bad team, it’s not his fault,” argument. Goalies from Arizona, LA, Vancouver, and many other teams that have been worse defensively have done better than that.
