Thread: CGY Kadri Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pittsburghfan</b></div><div>I think Toronto would counter by taking of kadri of it</div></div>

It looks like a lot of value, but it really isn't, at least not for Toronto.

TJ Brodie is a damn good defenseman, but he's an LD and one year from UFA. Doesn't really make sense for Toronto
I've always been a huge Kylington fan (wanted Toronto to take him), but he hasn't done all that much in North America to have much value, and again is an LD.
A 1st always sounds like a lot, but Calgary was a top team last year, so what is there 1st, like 22nd? That isn't as valuable as a first sounds
Jankowski-I may be wrong here, I haven't really watched him play much. So he may be better than I think.

Its a bunch of mid quality pieces and Brodie who is more valuable to another team. It just doesn't make sense.

Thread: it hurts my soul to suggest this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>The one thing about this is you know Bill Peters is the coach right? He'll have Lindholm Ryan and some random AHLer as your top line. He had Skinner in the bottom 6 for crying out loud</div></div>

no. fortunately Calgary has some semblance of talent on their team unlike the hurricanes who couldn't score if they were shooting on a soccer goal.

Peters was attempting to spark something in the hurricanes because they were playing terribly. I hope he does that with flames aswell. if a player is not playing correctly or to his skill level then I hope that player gets moved down the lineup

flames were terrible last year and gulutzan did nothing. same lines day in day out same result. no punishment for poor play and therefore not passion from the players

Thread: TOM WILSON 2.0 ( EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>I love Tom Wilson, and I hope he proves to be worth this contract. He’s a very effective player in his role. But that role should not pay him more than Viktor Arvidsson or Brendan Gallagher or Kyle Palmieri or Chris Kreider.</div></div>

...or Jenner, or Komarov, or Clutterbuck. Those guys hit more and score more goals. Wilson is getting paid for his offense while playing with the best guys in the league. The Caps have overpaid for similar top five on five unit passengers like Jeff Schultz and Brooks Laich, and overpaid for similar tough guys like Brashear and Orpik. Most Caps fans were excited about all of those deals at the time they were signed.

Those of us who remember how they worked out over the years don't really need to be told to grow up by someone who was too young to know the last four times this happened, but thanks for sharing.

Thread: Good News Toronto fans you can have Parayko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>He is a top line minute guy tho. its gonna take a lot more than a mid tier prospect and a 2nd Pairing Dman who can't play defense anyway that is a rental. you get what im saying?</div></div>

For a guy that's posted 4 troll trades lately, you're getting pretty worked up...The thing about armchair-gm, and most other trade forums in professional sports is that 99% of people overvalue their players/prospects. You are definitely included. Instead of trying to troll everyone, why don't you post a trade where you express your opinion on his actual value.

Here's my offer- Parayko for Nylander. You're going to say it's too low, I'm going to say if anything, it's high, and then we're going to continue making dumb trade threads, and commenting on them because it's entertaining.

Edit:<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>This isn’t stupid. Making you realize you can’t get Parayko for nothing. That’s stupidity.</div></div>

I will second the motion that this is in fact very stupid, and that it's more about trolling Leaf fans than it is about making them realize anything.
