Thread: Will Marc Andre Fleury be wearing a Sabres jersey next season?

Who is 'we'? By your username i'm guessing you mean the Jets but i think Connor Hellebuyck is pretty good, and i believe he's good enough to be an NHL starter. If you mean the Sabres i think Lehner is good enough.</div></div>

He definitely has the talent to be a starting goalie, but he probably needs at least another year of tandem work/being a backup to reach that "starter proper" tier. He's still only 24, which is fairly young for a goaltender. Getting an older guy like Fleury, who has two years left on his deal, or (dare I say) Elliott on a 1 year deal could give Hellebuyck the proper time and development he needs before he can become a 55-65 game starter.</div></div>

Exactly, also why we don't need to move a huge asset in Trouba to fix the problem.

To me that seems like maybe a bit too much for Trouba. I really don't see Trouba as the next Bobby Orr.</div></div>

He is probably considered a really high end top 4 RHD or possibly even a decent top pairing RHD.......... Trouba will not be cheap.</div></div>

We do need a goalie but not at that price. The goalie market is a total buyers market right now so we could easily nab a Grubauer/Raanta/Elliot or any other tandem pairing goalie for much cheaper. Trouba is better than Larsson and he got Hall in a trade so we would prefer to keep him as he would only be moved for an equivalent LHD.

Thread: Will Evander Kane be traded?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>We all saw how good Evander Kane can be when he's on his game. He went on some insane hot streak, and almost got 30 goals even though he missed 12 games. Probably can challenge for 35 goals if he plays a full season. While he's a good fit for the Ducks, I don't see a trade happening. But if there was a team to do it, I think it's the Ducks. However, Buffalo knows that this guy is a stud, and they want to keep him around. As long as he stays out of trouble off ice, he won't go anywhere. Buffalo will get him locked up if possible and they'll be set.</div></div>

Yeah, that's why he doesn't get traded i think. They won't trade a guy like Kane for a 5th.</div></div>

Obviously! Trading Kane for a 5th is like trading McDavid for a 3rd. A trade around Vatanen-Kane would be realistic, not a single person is saying his value is a 5th round pick.

WOW, I totally missed that Rangers comment.

Hey Rangers did you know that Kane is extremely physical, unbelievably fast, boosts team energy, and can score like nobody's business. And the most you'd give for him is a 4th round pick???? WOW

And gojetsgo, did you like Kane in Winnipeg?</div></div>

The first couple years were promising and he played really well for the most part but towards the end his finishing became terrible and it was super infuriating to see him shoot 3 feet over the net every time he had the puck. However after the tracksuit incident and scandalous stuff came out everyone (myself included) cooled on him real quick. Still happy with the trade even though Stafford went to **** and Myers might never play again, Roslovic/Armia/Lemieux are sweet return especially considering Bogo's trashy contract left as well (sorry bout that).

Thread: What is Tyler Myers worth?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gojetsgo</b></div><div>

His 44.24% corsi shows shows that he does very little to reduce scoring chances, his 5.5 million dollar salary makes him an offseason favourite to be bought out and things like playing on the top pairing are completely arbitrary as it is completely team dependent. Statements like "stops scoring chances" need empirical evidence to be supported, not just eye tested. And to the blocked shots, <strong>Russell led the league in blocked shots</strong> which should prove that blocked shots is not correlated to being a top pairing dman.</div></div>

I know, and i think Russell is a VERY good player.</div></div>

At this point I'm not even surprised.

Do it. Let's see your argument about Girardi being good.</div></div>

Girardi is near the top of the league in shot-blocks, plays on the top pair, play's every game (and i don't think he's ever ben a healthy scratch in his career), was signed for 5.5mil a year, stops scoring chances, etc.</div></div>

Exactly. It would be so easy for teams to hold a lead as they would just constantly freeze the puck and negate every rush.</div></div>

fair enough, but if they really wanted to stop play they would just bring it into the crease and stop play,<strong> which they don't do</strong>.</div></div>

They would do it if not for this.

Rule 67.3: "A goalkeeper who holds the puck with his hands for longer than three seconds shall be given a minor penalty unless he is actually being checked by an opponent. The object of this entire rule is to keep the puck in play continuously and any action taken by the goalkeeper which causes an unnecessary stoppage must be penalized without warning.

A goalkeeper shall be assessed a minor penalty when he deliberately holds the puck in any manner which, in the opinion of the Referee, causes an unnecessary stoppage of play.

A goalkeeper shall be assessed a minor penalty when he throws the puck forward towards the opponent’s net. In the case where the puck thrown forward by the goalkeeper being taken by an opponent, the Referee shall allow the resulting play to be completed, and if goal is scored by the non-offending team, it shall be allowed and no penalty given; but if a goal is not scored, play shall be stopped and a minor penalty shall be imposed against the goalkeeper.

A goalkeeper shall be assessed a minor penalty when he deliberately drops the puck into his pads or onto the goal net.

A goalkeeper shall be assessed a minor penalty when he deliberately piles up snow or obstacles at or near his net that, in the opinion of the Referee, would tend to prevent the scoring of a goal."

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DragonRaptorHybrid</b></div><div>Most of the circular arguments that go nowhere on this site are, ultimately, about people's opinions on players. And, sometimes, the differences between 2 players are small enough that it'd be simpler just to say, "yeah, they're both good, so just move on with your life." It comes down to opinions that are subjective and not easily comparable (e.g. liking smooth-skating defenders vs. ones that throw hits).

But there are some opinions and stances that are based on incorrect facts, and operating under those opinions typically gets people into trouble. In this case, you assert that Dustin Byfuglien is, at best, a third-pair defender because he wastes most of his time hitting and does nothing else. The concept of pairings is generally accepted by most to be predicated on point production, and Byfuglien's very high point production stands in stark contrast to this label of a 'third-pair defender.' And the claim that he does nothing else besides hits implies that he does no useful things, which has already been shown to be false by his point production, which people generally accept as a 'useful thing,' because points are the ultimate objective for most players, and goals and assists win games.

I'm mostly just doing this to try and help you understand that you need to be able to gather and verify facts about a hockey player before you begin to evaluate them. I assume that you can do the same in real life, where, when presented with a situation, you can evaluate it properly and come to a conclusion based on correct facts. It shouldn't be too hard to extend that skill to hockey players.</div></div>

Well i'm guessing you think Girardi is a 3rd pairing defenseman when i think he's a good player. If you want be to i can make a post like this one you made except about you thinking Girardi's bad. Sorry if i'm wrong but you do think Girardi is a 3rd pair d-man, right?</div></div>

Do it. Let's see your argument about Girardi being good.
