Thread: Eichel trade no Mangiapane
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>I like the Eakin add because the Flames are going to have to lose a roster player but I don't think Buffalo would be adding a C, if there was a 3 way deal in place with a low paid C coming to Calgary maybe. This also wouldn't work regarding the cap for when Eichel is better, the team would have to be able to fit him within the cap before moving him to LTIR</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Just guesswork here, but I feel like there's no way the Sabres are above the Cap Floor after this, right?</div></div>

They would currently be at $25,813,320 in space without Eichel's contract but then factoring in Dube's 2.3M hit they would be fine.

Thread: Team Finland

Your argument about points is moot. Puljujarvi only reached 25 points this season and that was playing with McDavid for the vast majority of the year. Kakko had 23 in his rookie season. 25 points isn't a benchmark for determining good players.

Feel free to compare their advanced analytics. They are very similar in a number of categories but Kakko is a bit higher in pretty much all of them.

You could easily argue that Puljujarvi would make the team over Komarov, but not over Kakko</div></div>

You're right, 25pts is not a benchmark to determine a good player but the argument was that Puljujarvi can produce at an equal if not higher level than Kakko. So when you look at the defensive acumen bet on Puljujarvi over Kakko.

Pick your advanced category of choice, and he’s among the best on the Oilers. In terms of expected goals percentage, he’s second only to Connor McDavid, and just barely. By the percentage of shots that go at the opposing net the top four goes McDavid, RNH, Puljujarvi, then Draisaitl. Basically everything that’s a percentage (using not just offence but defence, too) shakes out well for him.
