<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>Thomas had more 5v5 pts than Kuznetsov, Teravainen, both Tkachuks, Marner, PLD, WKarlsson, Kopitar, Forsberg, Gaudreau, Hall, Tavares, ELindholm, Duchene... he scored at a better rate at 5v5 than guys like Couturier, Barzal, and Bergeron. The only think holding him back is usage - playing 3rd line minutes and some PP2 right now.</div></div>

I think you are negating your own argument here. The reason he was able to score so much at 5v5 is that he's not going up against the opposing teams top shutdown lines, like most of the rest of the players listed. I'm pretty sure if Couturier got to go up against the other teams 3rd best lines consistently, he would score at a higher rate. Not to mention his O vs D zone starts are brutal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BluesBandit</b></div><div>Thomas is probably going to be our 2C next year depending on if Schenn moves over or not. He has legitimate all star potential. I think his floor is Bo Horvat and his ceiling is Nic Backstrom. As for Sanheim, he’d be our 3RD.</div></div>

i'll admit i've not really seen Thomas play much, also didn't realize how few forward prospects and RW in particular you have. I can understand not wanting to move one of your good young forwards for that reason alone.

I'll explain my reasoning a bit for the trade: not sure if any of Pietro, Para, or Faulk play the left side, seems like your LD is a little thin, if not (Sanheim plays at LD, despite what Capfriendly says) . I see Thomas as a younger version of Travis Konecny, if i had to choose between Sanheim and TK, I would keep Sanheim. TK is great, but just not as valuable to the team.

Thread: MTL trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>Its not about the point, its about is pore play
On defense. A guy like ryan macdonagh, hold way more value than a 65 point dman that cannot defend. That why he overrated, even if you think is that good, is poor play and is defensive unreliability make is value goes
down.

He is really good with the puck and for that he sure is great but he is more a jake gardiner or keith yandle type than a hedman or giordano or seth jones type. And just for your info he reach 65 point once and add 46, 39,37 so is more a 40-45 dman at this point. Vorachek add 2 80 points season since is debut does that make him 80 point guys?? No is more a 60-65 point guys. Corey perry add one 50 goal
Season does he is a 50 goal scorer? I think he was more a 30-40 goal scorer. Paul Byron is a 45 point guys! What would you answer me back after that comment ?</div></div>

He is not a great defender, but holds his own. That's why i didn't ask for Caulfield and Juulsen. He may not score 65 every season, but he is more than capable of 50-55. How many left D does MTL have that can do that?
