Thread: Faulk trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Canes fans don't care, we keep him and have an insane blue line, You were 25th in chances and shots against and Andersen bailed you out, he cannot do that game in game out. To not accept the fact Faulk is better then Gardiner Zaitzev Carrick Ozhigenov etc... its ridiculous. Leafs fans are notoriously hard to talk to but you my good sir top all, enjoy being blocked you arrogant smarmy little piece of work &lt;3</div></div>

I did look at Faulk's advanced stats as you suggested. Every year Faulk has little defensive zone face-off starts. Last year 36%. Seems like the coaches are afraid to have him in defensive zone...which is why he is a 3rd pairing, nothing wrong with that. Gee, you think Andersen bailed the Leafs out all season long. Strange the Leafs back up Mcillerney has a better GAA and Save % than Andersen. Defies all odds that the Leafs goalies bailed them out for all 82 games.

Thread: Winnipeg Jets signed Blake Wheeler (5 Years / $8,250,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Willian_Cardoso</b></div><div>He's a 30 bottom six player, never reached 20 goals in his career, never played more than 71 games. Most of the seasons he just passed 60 games. Besides, he still has 3 more years left in his contract. Defensively, he's a good player indeed. But a +4M contract for more 3 seasons is too much for a 30 bottom six player. I'm sure that any team which accept to get him and his bad contract will ask for a good compensation or a good retaintion of his salary.</div></div>

Seriously? Good compensation or good retention? He's been scoring at a 40-50 pt rate for his entire NHL career. Not only that, he was one of the best play drivers last year with a CF% of 56.72 which led WPG and had a xGF% of 58.84. And, he had a positive impact on all but one of the teammates he played 100+ minutes with.

Thread: WPG MTL for now and the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>clark</b></div><div>good idea. If only Habs would take some more cap likelittle or kulikov, jets would really be set for next year.</div></div>

Not a bad deal. There would need to be a prospect swap but I could see this happening (even though I'm one of the few Habs fans that want to sign Patches long-term).

If you want us to take cap from you I'd rather Kulikov cause we can actually use a LD and he's UFA-2. If you wanted us to take Little then you'd have to really sweeten this deal. Not saying Little is bad by any stretch of the imagination but $5.3m for another 6 years for a player that is already providing diminishing returns is always a risk. OR, if you prefer, we'll take Little at his full term/cap hit but you need to take back Alzner with his full term and cap hit. You get some cap relief and some term relief
