<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>What's Weber have to do with it?

Great, he played on the highest scoring team in the league and was able to outlet pass to Stamkos and Kucherov all year, you or me could put up 25 points on that team, doesnt mean he will be a 40+ point dman for the rest of his 30s in MTL.

Dont get me wrong, I think the value is right but with a flat cap and expansion draft coming up, I wouldn't be giving up assets for a 31 year old dman signed until he is 37 and making that high of a cap hit. Just doesnt make sense for the Habs.</div></div>

Maybe we don't agree on the value of the assets? Bottom 6 small forward capped out at 30 pts, 3rd pairing D and a 2nd
I can't think of a trade that makes more sense for MTL who has a gapping hole at LHD and lots of cap to play with
6.75 mil for a guy who will be top 4 D caliber for 5 out of the 6 next season is not unreasonable...

Thread: Pens make another run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>No, I was putting emphasis on recent performance, which is what matters. What happened 10 years ago is completely irrelevant to next year. But career:
Anisimov 0.488 ppg
Bjugstad 0.472 ppg
A whole 0.016 difference. Look ma, no cherry picking even though there wasn't any to begin with...
$450,000 more, 5 years older, doesn't know how to spell "physical"...
Yeah, Bjugstad &gt; Anisimov

The other point wasn't that you paid to move Johnson. It was that you paid A LOT (Murray) to move Johnson AND then paid to bring in a nearly equivalent (is that better?) Demers.

This is just a bad AGM all around.</div></div>

Yeah that's fair a lot closer on the career than I though.
My initial intention was Anisimov &gt; Bjugstad which i guess is debatable, but what do you think Murray should fetch?
I figured it was a first that's why I though Murray to get rid of Johnson, acquire a 2nd and an upgrade on Bjugstad (which might not be the case) that's the value I originally invisioned

As for the the Demers trade, what do you think of trading Rodriguez for a 3rd pair RHD? Anyone else you'd suggest that would pair well with POJ and Rikkola and give Marino a safety?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>That's just not right. After being traded to Pittsburgh he was 9-5-14 in 32 games. That's a 23g, 36 point rate. He then got hurt before the season, they tried playing through it because surgery would have been major, it failed, and he had the surgery. Anisimov isn't exactly a healthy guy either.
Last 2 years (not including this year due to season ending surgery):
Anisimov 31pts, 37pts (0.453 ppg) (0.442 including this year)
Bjugstad 26pts, 49pts (0.514 ppg) (0.484 including this 2 points in 13 games year)



Advanced stats and $2.50 gets you a cup of normal coffee at Starbucks. We all know that Johnson is the poster child of bad advanced stats. That doesn't mean that Demers is "better" nor does it mean that you pay to get rid of Johnson and then pay to bring in Demers.</div></div>

You`re cherry picking a flash in the pan career year for Bjustad where he got 49 pts and only had 14 the year before that and excluding Anisimov`s 2 better years with CHI before that. 2017-2019 is the only window in time where Bjugstad had a better PPG than Anisimov

Pay to get rid of Johnson, yes you need to, you could argue that we should pay less for Demers but he does have value and can be a positive influence on a team, great to pair with a more offensive Rikkola or POJ

Thread: Pens make another run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>Anisimov, 2nd for Bjugstad, Murray, Johnson
Demers for Rodrigues, 3rd

Bjugstad &gt; Anisimov, plus Anisimov is $450,000 more

Johnson = Demers, plus Demers is $700,000 more (2 less years)

It wouldn't cost Murray to move Johnson. While you pay through the teeth to move Johnson, you also pay to bring in a direct replacement?

Pittsburgh passes on both trades.</div></div>

Bjugstad &gt; Anisimov,
disagree, Bjugstad has not been able to find any offense in Pittsburgh and has been injured a lot, Anisimov has better offense. Both are good defensively, additionally there`s a 2nd coming to Pens

Johnson = Demers, plus Demers is $700,000 more (2 less years)
HARD disagree, Demers' relative corsi is zero over the last few seasons, Johnson is -5.5% relative over the last few years. Demers is way better on the breakout

I think the top 4 is a little weak, obviously Pastrnak would be ideal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>I mean without diving into CORSI basic stats for the lesser replacement


JG
39gp 20g 23a 43p (1.10ppg) (.51gpg)

MM
59gp 16g 51a 67p (1.13ppg) (.27gpg)

I’d say Guentzel and Marner are very close in skill. So for Pittsburgh to add a high end top 4 RHD to this equation would be a terrible idea. I’d actually give Guentzel the edge since Marner at best will have 20-25 goals. We can dip into the “advance stats” I’m not a huge fan but if I had to we could.



Oh yeah. Guentzel also isn’t ridiculously overpaid forgot about that part</div></div>

Difference for me is Marner is 3 years younger so even more room to grow and who knows what Marner would be like playing with Sid and what Guentzel would be like playing with Tavares
