Thread: Attempting an Eichel Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluejackets2000</b></div><div>Your witty response only goes to show whose intelligence you are insulting....not the 99.9% of people who read this post... but yours.
Patrick hasn’t even played this year due to injuries, and Van Riems is fifth in scoring for the Flyers, not to mention he’s half way over the hill, and Eichel is just getting started.
In reality...the entire core of the roster that IS contributing to Flyers success you have kept to play with Eichel. JDFitZ was correct and you should just wake up and rejoin reality and stop with this nonsense.</div></div>

Your witty response only goes to show that you did not properly read his quote in which he was responding to.. His response was to the counter-offer of Coots, Konecny, Provy, and Hart. Don't be an ass just to be an ass. Both trades are bad and unrealistic, leave it at that.

Thread: Oshie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Gusev led the KHL in points last year. Like Kovalchuk the year before.

Kovalchuk got 34 pts in 64 NHL games last year. Oshie got 54 in 69. 14 of Oshie's were on the power play, as were 17 of Kovalchuk's.

Even strength points/game? Oshie=.58 Kovy=.27. So Kovy is about half as good as Oshie, at offense.

Two years back, Gusev and Kovy both played in the KHL. Kovy had one more point. Last year, Gusev improved by a third, making him about 2/3 as good as Oshie, unless league scoring just went up a lot.

Would McPhee give up a younger, potentially more talented player to get an established NHL 30 goal scorer who is obviously better right now, even if they need a big contract and have a couple question marks? That describes the last three big trades he's made, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes.

I see Vegas fans on here claiming Clarkson has to be involved for Gusev, but that's in trades with scrubs and duds coming back. Oshe alone could get Gusev, Merrill, and a 2nd. Adding Clarkson gets another 2nd, or raises the pick to a 1st.</div></div>

Eh, hard to compare Kovy's PPG this year vs. KHL and then translate expectations to Gusev - you can easily do a similar comparison using Panarin and the stats would favor Gusev over Oshie. Not to mention VGK isn't looking to add another high price/long term contract that could potentially turn into an albatross contract with injuries/declining play. I don't think this trade would work for either team based on the "intangibles"

Thread: Leafs and CBJ Trade Proposal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Marner for Jones is fair deal because in Marner you are not getting just the player but the whole thing about him, the name, the personality, the financial options, everything. You would be getting Marner at what, 10-11 per on 7yr deal?.. also 3yrs isnt longterm. Jones would be in high 10s / low 11s range in 3yrs.</div></div>

Disagree. Jones &gt; Marner based on position. The whole name, personality, financial options is a baseless opinion because Jones has just as much name value and better financials - 3 years in the NHL for #1 d-man is absolutely long-term. A team could add a proven veteran on a cup run easily during that time period with the money/term saved (Pavelski, Justin WIlliams, Marleau (didn't work), etc.)

Thread: Shake up with two big trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingsLover</b></div><div>Subban literally was a Norris finalist in 2018, he missed games this year with injuries yes but he was still great (except for the playoffs but the entire team was flat), and Giroux's point totals weren't close to his in 2018 falling from 102 to 85 (which is obviously still good). You're valuing Giroux much higher than you should. I can see that the trade is probably off as in Gudas' value is more than Bonino's but I felt the 2nd vs 3rd would make that up. If Turris had a season that was of his nature it would have been him going back to Philly but he played awfully last year and would be a huge cap dump. The player I was thinking of sending was Colton Scissions but I decided against it, but now I may have to reconsider with your response. But I stand firmly that Subban and Giroux are of equal value.</div></div>

...and Giroux literally should've won the MVP award last year over Taylor Hall. Sorry, their value maybe close in your eyes, but in the eyes of the franchise and the fans it is so far off. He's their captain and best player and face-off taker. He may not be the #1 center anymore which his switch to wing, but he still ranked top-30 in FO taken and was #4 in FO %. Your valuation is wrong and your beating a dead horse trying to defend it.
