Thread: Ok Ive said this for like 4 straight years now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>Montreal is probably always looking, but have at least 4 NHL lhd under contract atm. Agree on Dubnyk, by any expected goals numbers he looks incredibly poor and is probably very overrated due to a good Wild defense. I don't think Pittsburgh mind sticking Bjugstad on the wing come playoff time and free Crosby up from some defensive duties, but it's obviously one of many options. Otherwise agree, might be hard to move him regardless even though he's a defensive beast still.

I do think Parise can be traded for someone a) worse but with shorter term, or b) worse but with a lower cap hit. So Backes would be an a-guy and say Jack Johnson a b-guy.



The last answer includes you as well I suppose. I sort of agree, but Parise over Backes could've meant a cup last year and can very well do the same this year. He's still a really good player and honestly worth his money if not almost at least. Backes is a dead 6m for two years when we (I'm a Bruins fan too) at our best and competing. When the Backes contract has expired there's a lot of other questions/holes on the roster</div></div>

I just think if you are having trouble moving the backes deal. Theres almost no way you can move that parise one in a couple years. He would 1000% be an upgrade over backes but thats a tough pill to swallow doen the road. Even if its less real $$.

Thread: Reunite Kane and Breadman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>pOiNtS... there's more to hockey than just points. Sid was alround the best player in the league last year by some margin, his RAPM literally shames anyone else in the league, and McDavid was number 2 by almost the same margin. Kuch I'm only counting as number 3 because it might get you to shut up, but realistically last year Couturier was better, MacKinnon, Point all were. 110 points is nice production, but there's a lot more than that to this game. Defensively he was horrific (when I say horrific, I mean for his standards at an elite level, don't get that wrong) He's imo, not a top 10 player in the league anymore. He's slowing down way too much. Oh and 110 points is a lot easier with a 40 goal scorer on the other wing</div></div>

somebody had to get the puck to the 40 goal scorer on the other wing. kane also had 44 himself. couturier mackinnon and point all play center which are supposed to be the defensive forward spots. thats typically how hockey works. centers pinch back wingers stay high. the fact your are using +/- as an argument says all i need to know man. worst way to judge a player in hockey is based on +/-.

Thread: Reunite Kane and Breadman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Kane is slowing down, he had a resurgent year in a year where everyone was scoring more.<strong> Kane wasn't a top 3 player last year, be real man. Top 5 maybe</strong>, but Sid McDavid and Kuch were all better. Kakko has the upside to get there, there is literally 0 reason or sense to move him. NYR aren't gunning for the cup now. They're aiming down the road.

Kap is a speedy middle 6er with 20-40 upside, for a defenceman who struggles in his own end, is on a 1 year deal and adds to Muzzin Barrie Dermott Ceci Harpur Schmaltz and a load of others who would need to be resigned? That makes very little sense for Toronto.

Kreider with an extension is worth a 1st and a B prospect...</div></div>

WHAT? Sid was not better than kane last year. mcdavid and kuch sure but kuch had a MUCH better line compared to both mcdavid and kane. Also the difference between 3rd best and 4th best player ide be willing to listen to what your thoughts are there... "be real" holy smokes dude. Kreider is hitting free agency. He isnt being extended. how is 110 points slowing down?
