Thread: Realistic Parayko maybe
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>... and nylander will get back on track and be a 70-80 point player, no doubts there. </div></div>

Nylander has 4 points in 20 games. He's talented, but he's a problem for the Leafs offensively right now. You are not getting as high a return for an out-of-form player as you would for an in-form player. 70-80 points? That wouldn't be back on track. That would be a 15-30% jump over his best seasons so far. He's young, so maybe one day he gets there, but that's the high end upside, not the middle road of expectations for the player. He may never get there, and instead is a guy who, when he is on, gets 60-70 points, but when he's not, fetches 40 points. That's more realistic than baking in 70-80 point seasons at this point in time. In that light, the contract is a risk. I'd rather have Kapanen personally.

Re: Gardiner, I didn't say anything about him. I said puck moving D aren't as scarce and valuable as you seem to think. That was true, however, some 5 years ago.

Thread: Shake Up 20 w St Louis amp Detroit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>i still think PHI would be better off trading Sanheim and a pick for Petry as he and Gudas could handle your top 4 RD no problem allow Ghostisbhere to play on his LD . PHI gets a RD who can play top mins and top special teams assignments who lays out hits , blocked shots at a regular pace while eating up 25-27 minutes .</div></div>

That's exactly the idea here, but would much prefer acquiring Parayko for Hagg and Simmonds than Petry for Sanheim and more. Sanheim/Gudas has been our best performing pair statistically, and Sanheim's upside is too great to trade. Even if Parayko turns out best suited for the 2nd pairing role, that is perfectly fine. Can take another stab at a top RD or roll with Provorov/Ghost again.

With future in mind, it's likely our protected D for the Seattle expansion are Ghost, Provorov and Sanheim. We might protect the 4th but only if that target pans out perfectly. Parayko could be that good. Petry could, on the other hand, be a major problem because of his NTC/NMC.
