Thread: tyson barrie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Warrior24</b></div><div>Dobson had 19 PP points last year on a bad PP which has now added Horvat to be better. Barrie had 28 PP points while playing with McDavid and Draisaitl. Dobson would put up that many points too if he had those players around him.

Barrie would not move Dobson to PP2, and would be another weak defensive RD with Dobson. He is not a fit.</div></div>

barrie also got traded midseason so the comparison isn’t really fair, not sure whether that number is total (which would include his time on the preds’ PP2 behind josi) or just for the 60 games he played in edmonton but either way it’s a better number than dobson. if you have another idea for a good puckmoving RD we can either sign or trade for at low cost, please let me know. gryzcelyk is someone i’d be interested in but he’s an LD which wouldn’t be ideal.

Thread: Karlsson to the Island
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Megalodon</b></div><div>Karlsson isn’t as bad at D as everyone on here says. He is tops in the league at zone exits and entries, whatever team he goes to immediately elevates their contender status. Really mindless comment from you sorry to say. Pulock isnt even close to the impact that Karlsson makes, like not even the same planet my guy.</div></div>

no question karlsson is better than pulock, but pulock is still at worst an elite second pair player next year. again if we’re giving up this much i’d rather get a player who’s going to be a part of the core for the long haul and not someone who could go back to being good to meh as soon as next year. this isn’t a team that will give karlsson the open ice to do what he does best because no one else aside from barzal is really capable of playing that style. not to mention karlsson was riding the best shooting percentage of his career this year, almost double his average.
