Thread: For my Ranger friends
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>busters99</b></div><div>Does Foegle play Center and PK? Goodrow has played the floater role with adeptness, fits in on any line and in any position when needed, and provides leadership in the B6. He is a GG favorite and Drury does not want to lose him (of course due to the Cap he might have to, but I tend to think this won't happen). If Foegle is thought of in the same light by the Oilers then they have a keeper. My impression was that his play hasn't been as effective since the Oilers acquired him.</div></div>
He's certainly been more effective than Goodrow, the link I posted earlier shows that quite clearly.

Foegele does NOT play center. But that's not a problem for a team that already has McDavid, Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins and McLeod at center. (I wouldn't be surprised if Bjugstad re-signs, either.) Edmonton needs wingers, not centers.

Because of that there may well be teams out there willing to acquire Goodrow to augment their center depth, but Edmonton isn't one of them.

Thread: key moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>matteot9497</b></div><div>i agree but ideally u trade campbell but we know thats not happening. youd have to hope broberg and bouch can take the next steps and if they do then ceci would be making 3.25 mill on the third pair i like ceci a lot just seems the odd man out if the young guys step up. it sucks cuz the cap was supposed to go up 5 million this year but isnt which wouldve easily helped keep ceci or get depth. maybe u can trade more and get a 50% retain on konecny and use that cap to sign 2 forwards and dman for depth</div></div>
Ceci isn't the odd man out at all - Broberg is a lefty. The obvious odd man out is Kulak, what with Nurse, Ekholm and Broberg under control for term.

And you don't have any depth anyhow, you've got a 20 man roster with no cap space.

Thread: IF YOURE GOING TO TRADE FOR WILSON READ THIS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>Wilson did or was on pace to hit 20 goals his last 5 seasons when he finally got top 6 time. Kane is a better goal scorer, doesn't mean he's the same as Wilson. Again, no one is, outside the Tkuchuks.

Wilson is waaaaaay better than Lucic, mainly because Wilson can skate like the wind. It's going to cost an arm and a leg to trade for him.</div></div>
I didn't say Kane was the same as Wilson, I said he's twice the player. And he is - every bit as physical and nasty to play against but far more skilled. And the best part of it is - he gets paid the same as Wilson. Huge win there.

Wilson would be sought after if offered to the market, but the prices wouldn't be anywhere near what you think. There's simply no business case to pay that much for a 20 goal, 40 point player who is paid north of $5M.

Thread: Fleecing fletcher
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_boogie_man</b></div><div>ceci is not better than Gudas, data over the past 3 seasons show that Gudas has had a greater impact on his team defensively than both Ceci and nurse coming in the Top 20 D-men (not saying he's top 20 but his D impact is top 20) in the league over that span where as ceci and nurse are around 50th and 30th respectively, Gudas is also the better proven penalty killer and has been crushing it this season in FLA

He is 100% better than ceci especially this season and analytics back that up and Konecny would absolutely kill it with draisaitl unlike yamo who struggles to finish</div></div>
Your "data" isn't adjusted to QoC, clearly. There's a reason why Gudas gets sheltered third pairing minutes while Ceci faces NHL's best every night.

Until you understand the difference your player valuation will be off.
