Thread: Gibby
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Franchise players are franchise players. The fact that franchise goalies almost never get traded isn't an accident. What do you think that Tampa would ask for Andrei Vassilevskiy? And he is 50% more expensive. What do you think Winnipeg would ask for Connor Hellebuyck?

This idea that franchise goalies don't merit high returns arises out of the idea that franchise goalies aren't much different from run-of-the-mill netminders, and frequently surfaces in comments like "They would be lucky to get a first and a decent goalie prospect" for someone like John Gibson. If that were true, guys like Jordan Binnington and Darcy Kuemper and Carter Hart would be flying around the NHL like seagulls at the beach.</div></div>

I dont disagree, but asking for a top 10 left winger in the nhl and a stud young top 4 D signed to reasonable term is a non starter for really any team id think.

Thread: My Take On Roslovic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Roslovic is a skilled player that’s been jammed up by Jets coach Paul Maurice. He had a killer year in the AHL playing C, and when he came up, Maurice plugged him onto 3RW with two guys who can’t score to save their lives. I think his numbers and stats are deceiving. He realistically probably should be a 2RW right now, but with Jets stacked on the wing and maurices reluctance to play him at C. He never got a fair opportunity. He’s been played with Lowry and copp like his whole career, and they are the biggest stone hands I’ve ever seen. Their line also usually plays against the top line of the other team. Roslovic has a really good two way game, while also being an offensive threat with untapped offensive potential.</div></div>

In 180 career games, he has a 44.8% faceoff win percentage. That is quite awful. He also starts the majority of his shifts in the offensive zone. Linemates could be a valid argument as I do not know the Jets roster as well as others but he has been used in an offensive role for the most part.
