<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StuTheSniper</b></div><div>I already said it - A.Shaw, Deslauriers, Weber, McCarron... even Byron, Gally, Carr are energy guys. Only Phaneuf and Turris fought in the playoffs for OTT last year. They sure do match your 4th liner description! They never traded for any toughness leading up to the playoffs. Literally everyone who fought for them last year was already on the roster. Oh yeah, their top 2 fighters were Borowiecki and Neil. Borowiecki has played 19 games this year, and Neil retired after he couldn't get a contract.

This started out being about salary cap... that wasn't necessary so now you're making it all about this nonsense fighting. I don't believe you when you say you've watched plenty of games. Sorry.</div></div>

I meant Steve Ott.. and I've struggled to watch the pst 2 games cause it's too boring. To me Gally, Shaw and deslauriers are our only high energy players

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StuTheSniper</b></div><div>I never said we're getting that return for Patch. Just pointing out how ridiculous your trade looks next to it.

OMG, you're obsessed with goons going around running everybody. The NHL is taking that garbage out of the game man. It's all about speed and skill now. Are you stuck in 2005? Have you watched an NHL game since then? If someone runs a goalie or a player they're getting suspended - simple as that.

Nearly everyone laughed at the Pens for trading for Reaves... makes sense that you're on board with it though :laugh</div></div>

Haha yes I have watched plenty of games. Yup it's mostly speed and skill now but if you can get some 4th liners to bring energy throw hits and fight it helps spark the team Aka Ott during the playoffs. Sorry but de la rose, Froese, and Logan shaw aren't those guys. And last time I checked Price had to take matters into his own hands. I wouldn't trust the league to hand out suspensions when they can't even get goalie interference right.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StuTheSniper</b></div><div>You could include any of the guys I mentioned (who actually bring value) and/or retain a small percentage of salary to balance the cap. And (I can't believe I need to point this out again) Duchene is a worse player with a higher cap hit and he got COL a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3 top prospects and a backup goalie... Valardi and a 1st isn't getting "lucky".

Again with the fighting... it's at its lowest point ever! It's not a part of today's game! Why are you even factoring that in when, as I mentioned, there are plenty of other guys already in the org who can fill that need on the rare occasion it's actually needed.</div></div>

Can't see LA moving Forbort or Iafallo. Folin is useless to the Habs. And Duchene got that much because it was a 3 way trade. If you think we can get a 1st 2nd a 3rd and 3 top prospects then you're mistaken. Also yes fighting isn't much of a factor now but what happens when someone takes a run at Price or Drouin? Our only fighter who can fight is Deslauriers and by the looks of the last 2 games he's not gonna drop them anymore

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StuTheSniper</b></div><div>I dunno if you've noticed, but there's no fighters left in the league... We have A. Shaw, Deslauriers and Weber for toughness. Call up Big Mac if you want to inject some more, but asking for a fighter in return for Pacioretty is the most ridiculous thing I've heard tbh. Waste of a roster spot. Not that that's all Clifford can do, but he really doesn't bring much to today's game.</div></div>

I included Clifford for cap reasons. Basically it's a 1st and Vilardi for Patches which is about all we will get for him if we are lucky. And I wouldn't say there are no fighters in the NHL as there are still a few kicking around and as for Weber I'd prefer him not fighting and sitting for 5 or more minutes when a 4th liner can handle that.
