Thread: He wont be claimed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>He’s not good, atrocious defensively.
He’s a nightmare, and everyone hates him.
He’s not cheap.

Why would anyone want that? KHL bound.</div></div>

Or ...

He's a 50+ point producer from the backend. He's nowhere near the worst defensive D-man in the league (especially considering the production).
Extreme-leftist scum want to cancel another victim.
He's an absolute bargain.

Every team in the NHL should want that.


I find it odd that the Rangers extended him in October, if he is this complete team cancer they should have dealt with it in the off-season. Now this burner account thing is a complete game-changer, and maybe that's true. But as far as everything else, seems more likely butthurt politics.

Thread: Bennett for Donskoi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>I disagree. Donskoi's advanced stats with San Jose were really good, but with Colorado he's consistently in the bottom 3-5 players in Corsi and Fenwick. He does chip in some goals here and there, but for $3.9m you'd expect to have a winger who could impact the game with more shift-to-shift consistency than Donskoi. His xG/60 stats are around the worst on the team. Stylistically he's also more of a east-west player rather than north-south, so I disagree that he's a fit style wise too.

I also don't think it's right to compare Donskoi and Bennett's production directly, because they play different styles and roles. Moreover, there's capsaving involved here which allows us to target a legit 3C (while keeping Bennett on the 4th line). Kaut could probably do what Donskoi does with his ice time.</div></div>

Bennett wants out of Calgary because he's playing on the third line, he'll be thrilled to hear you want him on your fourth.

Thread: Edmonton adds firepower
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bringer_Of_Snow</b></div><div>I probably wouldn't do it. A few of our own guys need contract extensions upcoming and i'd rather keep the 2 cost controlled guys for the time being.

As for Nylander, I am really surprised how good he is. We don't see him lots in Edmonton, and all I heard was how disappointing his season was the year after his extension. Having watched him more due to the division this year, he's nasty. If Nylander were ever to be traded, I'd for sure be interested, just not at the cost of cheap, controlled players.</div></div>

It's the Toronto media and a lot of the local fan base. If you're born in Ontario (especially the GTA) then your game is faultless. To make up for that, other players must take their fair share of criticism plus that of the hometown heroes. It's actually nuaseating.
