Thread: Bring Back Boyle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BiscuitBakesandHotTaeks</b></div><div>If I’m Point I say the “internal cap structure” is BS. You look at comps around the league.
8x10, 5x8</div></div>

<em>In talking with Point and his agent Gerry Johannson during the season, a few key points came into play. Point’s main priority is staying (and winning) in Tampa Bay, which would require him making it work in Tampa Bay’s cap structure. They’re open-minded when it comes to contract length. That doesn’t mean Point won’t look for the best deal, but there will have to be compromise on both ends to make this work long-term.

“It’s about winning, taxes, quality of life, and where you want to be,” Johannson said. “Players ultimately want to do what they want to do. I always say, ‘The best deal is not always the most money, the best deal is the best deal.”</em> <a href="https://theathletic.com/973302/2019/05/13/what-will-brayden-points-next-lightning-contract-look-like/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://theathletic.com/973302/2019/05/13/what-will-brayden-points-next-lightning-contract-look-like/</a>

It does not always only come down to the mere number printed on the contract. Other things come in play too.

Thread: Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>He got the Kings a Stanley Cup with the final goal and has won 2 or 3 game 7s In the playoffs by getting the goal. He is a playoff player and gets the goals when needed most. He's also one of the best shot blockers in the league as a defenseman and had been for years. You should do your homework on the guy before you comment back.

And I don't know what trading Bruins 2C has any thing to do with Alec Martinez....</div></div>

ok bud. He isn't that good. He just isn't. I am very happy for him that he had a couple big goals, but it doesn't change his stats.
Over his 10 year regular season career he has averaged .34 ppg
Over his 10 year playoff career he has averaged. .25 ppg.
As I mentioned his regular season Minutes per game goes from 19:09 to 15:55 per game. so come playoff time. He loses over 2m a game.

For a point of reference I will use Doughty. 26:17 per game regular season and 27:51 Playoffs. So he gets an extra 1.5m

Martinez is also on a team that is about to miss the playoffs for the 3rd time in 5 years.

Martinez is currently 33rd for defenseman in blocked shots. He was 2nd last year, but that 2nd to Kris Russell who is terrible. The Top 10 in NHL in blocked shots is not exactly littered with the elite (edler, Russell, McNabb, Nemeth, Ceci, Green hainsey &amp; Seabrook), so neat he blocks a lot of shots. HIs possession stats have dramatically gone down hill in the last two seasons as well. 23-27 year old Martinez is NOT the same player 31+ year old Martinez is. Stats don't lie. I am not sure what homework you need me to do. I am well aware of the player and he isn't worth anywhere close to what you are selling here.

My Point with Krejci is if we are ignoring age and decline (Krejci actually isn't statistically declining, he is having a great year unlike Martinez) If I apply the same logic you did to Martinez, The Bruins (Team I follow) should be able to trade Krejci for quite a haul - At least two A prospects, but probably more given he is actually still producing unlike Martinez. After all Krejci has led the league in playoff scoring twice (just like Martinez we get to ignore it happened when he was 24 &amp; 26, right?). I mean I love Krejci, but if they could get two guys who are A) recent 1st round picks &amp; performing as expected B) Both super young and under control for another 5+ years, They would be insane not to take that deal. Let's say Comtois and Jones in Anaheim - That is the equivalent.

Also - I will point out. Team/players not that good anymore, Hence the lack of playoff appearances/games the last 5 years.

Thread: Simmonds trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cmaenza28</b></div><div>Fletcher is trading/burying guys already to get rid of dead weight on the cap for next year and moving forward. Not sure we want to take more back in Callahan...maybe though he could be a 4th liner and PK guy for us next year. I like the idea here but not sure if that's realistic. I'd say it is a very fair offer, and overpaying is what Tampa would have to do to unload Callahan. Really don't want any part of JT Miller for that price though. We've got enough guys getting paid at forward that we don't need to pay a 3rd liner close to 6 mil</div></div>

Miller is a 3rd liner on Tampa but its because we dont have space in top6 for him. He is capable of playing on 1st line, max 2nd line easily. People dont realize how good he is, cuz he doesnt get much chance in Tampa.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bdinella</b></div><div>Agree with ^. I am sure TB fans say no way but if I am the Flyers I am insistent on getting Cal Foote. He is exactly what they need being a RHD and would also be expansion draft protected I know that is asking a lot but seeing what Boyle cost any team trading for Simmonds is probably going to have to overpay</div></div>

There is no way we would trade Foote for Simmonds. We will get rid of 2-3 dman after this season and Foote is our hope for future on that right D side.
