<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>i think you're in a situation where ARZ over value's him
you'd have an easier time getting Christian Fischer who's done nothing
but decline since the new GM's systems been molded in such a way that doesnt seem to need him .
(similar to Domi he's just not blending with the direction they're building and on a 2 year decline same as Domi before his summer trade)

Personally i was hoping MTL would get him as we needed a middle 6 winger but then Suzuki stepped up .
Now Armia and Evans have made cases for promotion on RW plus factor in Ylonen's in Laval when stuff starts back up
PIT though could use him and his chippy hard nosed style would fit in with your needs as he would draw tons of attention creating even more room for Zucker and Crosby .

VH is more clear cut and you know what to expect
CF you either end up with a awesome 4th line winger and PK2 guy or you end up with a top 6 RW who will succeed purely on cycling pucks to Crosby and Malkin .(likely getting a lot of 2nd assists )

CF is the bigger gamble but has the biggest upside for growth at 23 (or will be by next season)
i'm actually excited about this concept as Fischers the perfect guy to play Rodeo Clown for an Elite level Talent
Whether it be Crosby,Malkin ,Mcdavid,Drisatl,Overchkin,Mathews,Tavares ,Toews ,Kane or Eichel
Maybe on his own he's an Andrew Shaw type utility player and spark plug
But with Elite skill he could be one of those heart and soul blue collar guys you love to see succeed</div></div>

I proposed a trade several times for CF earlier this year (and last) and I got the response back that he is one of, if not, their best 2-way forward this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jesus</b></div><div>Can't believe you sent an entire paragraph and still didn't answer the question. I asked you who on the team wasn't trying and you couldn't answer because you realize you got called out for not knowing what you're talking about.

"Yeah two guys who have been playing with each other for YEARS suddenly need to work on chemistry." This is gonna sound crazy but don't you think perhaps they could've just had a bad game? Maybe not every time somebody loses in sports it isn't because they "choked" or "didn't try" maybe the other team was better on that day. Maybe athletes are human beings like the rest of us that make mistakes. We lost the game because Letang made horrible mistakes and the Capitals scored on them. We didn't lose the game because they "didn't try hard enough". And once again how the hell would you know whether someone is trying or not? Please let me know who on the Penguins wasn't trying that game.

"Me and the whole rest of the world will be waiting on it." Who is "the rest of the world"? The other **** yinzers you hang out with who think they sound like they understand hockey by saying certain guys on the team "suck" or "aren't trying" without offering any evidence as to why? I bet you probably hang out with a bunch of yes men who tell you what you want to hear and agree with everything you say. That's probably why you make such stupid arguments on here

"Hell they got out hit like 40 something to 20 something by the end of the 2nd period. Come tell me there was "effort"" Maybe we got outhit because the Capitals are a bigger, more physical team than us and have goons like Tom Wilson out there. I'd love for you to fight an actual boxer and get your face knocked in so I can tell you that you "didn't try hard enough". I'd love for you to show how much "effort" you have by trying to hit someone much taller and heavier like Ovechkin, Wilson, Hathaway, or Dillon. Maybe they should focus on outscoring the other team rather than trying to outhit them. What a stupid argument.</div></div>

I'd love to see them sign Gudas. He's the Ulf, the Kaspy etc. He's the guy that you hate to play against but LOVE to see on the team.
