Thread: Who to keep
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>Good, I'm not the only one who hate Armia in this post season, I rather see Ylonen next year than Lazy but skilled Armia
Why is he so lazy ? He got the tools to be a top6 RW, but no, he doesn't skate, doesn't try, just being lazy … f*ck</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>He looks out of shape, plays with no heart. He has hands but can't finish to save his life</div></div>

I gotta disagree here.

Sure he didn't look great but neither did most players. They were playing a really good team. That's just who he is. If he was more consistent we would never have gotten him in the first place. He's just a good middle 6 player who wins puck battles better than just about anyone when on his game and fine bottom 6 when off.

I'd much rather have his ability to win a game while not costing much over a guy like Weise or Weal in the bottom 6.

Thread: seller finish the rebuild make your offer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>pens would be willing to part with one of those pieces, but certainly not both. I think 15OA for Domi is a fair deal, but once you add Poulin, Pens get fleeced. This is a very deep draft. 15OA is going to snag a great prospect. Pens aren't going to be moving two first round picks for Domi. its just not worth it for their perspective.</div></div>

I definitely understand and respect that. From my perspective though there is a great deal of risk in trading an established, young player who is consistently productive for a chance that 3 years down the road a guy might come and make the impact that the player I just traded is having.

Heck everyone is raving about how good Suzuki is (and he certainly is that) but he still didn't outscore Domi last season. That was his D+3 season. Even Kotkaniemi who was drafted 3rd OA has just started making a real difference pretty much 3 years later. And those are the ones who make it.

I get your perspective and it's certainly valid but I guess what I should have stated more explicitly is that I personally would favor more of a "hockey trade" than kicking the can down the road with futures. Hence my belief that MTL and PIT aren't very well suited as trade partners. I know other Habs fans might view things differently as we are a very divided fanbase but that is my opinion for what it's worth.
