Thread: Nylander Offer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>Leafs have all the leverage. They are winning without him and there are already teams desperate for a bounce-back December. Devils, Flyers are in a similar boat with that. I would say that offer is extremely fair for what you'd be getting. This isn't going go to be low-ball dealing. If you want an elite player, you're going to have to give up significant pieces.</div></div>

Okay let me throw a scenario at you.

Leafs don't sign, don't trade, he sits, leafs get nothing in a year where they aren't winning anything in the postseason with that defense. Then they have 3 to sign next year and you best believe AZ will offer sheet the bajesus out of Matthews.

Everyone knows Dubas NEEDS to trade him, pretty obvious they cant afford him. That's not leverage.

Thread: What I wish Pittsburgh would have done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>t2a2e9j12k2</b></div><div>Grabner is garbage with stone hands and not worth half of what he is getting paid. Joke to even consider him. Duclair has been given up on by 3 franchise now why bring him in to play on echl team maybe. Ya lets not sign Cullen for almost nothing. he can skate score PK and is one hell of a leader. GET A F****IN clue Jesus its a wonder why Pens fans are thought of in such low regard reading the BS on here.</div></div>

lol mad bro?

First of all, go check the stats on Grabner. Last I checked he scored more than Hags, and is the same speed, and is cheaper.
Second of all, the Pens have made a habit of reclamation projects being successful. (i.e. Oleksiak, Shultz, Sheahan) so its really not a terrible idea. Low risk, high reward.

Thread: Phil goes home?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>meull</b></div><div>I know Phil is quite a bit better than Vanek, just using that FA signing as a similar situation to the theoretical trade. I think at best Phil could slot in where we normally have Granlund, so he'd be with Zucker and Staal, but that line would probably be terrible on defense. He might pair nicely with Koivu and Greenway, or Koivu and Granlund though. Hard to say, plus we'd be dealing Coyle at a low point in his value. He's kind of injury prone so we probably haven't even seen a peak season from Coyle yet, he's literally nursing two surgically repaired wrists after this season at the moment and that was after missing a 1/3 of the year with a broken leg. Poor kid cant catch a break so the brass in the Wild org will probably wait to see if there are better hockey trades available that don't lose us a top pairing shut down d man.</div></div>

Thank you for providing an intelligent response lol. I just feel like Minni is in shake up mode. That's the only reason I had them taking Kessel.
