Thread: If we dont make playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakenTheCode</b></div><div>Looking at this piece by piece,



Because of the Kraken's forward depth, both Sprong and Yamamoto would likely be bottom six players in Seattle. Sprong has flat out performed better than Yamamoto this season in a lesser role. The difference between them in age is also only a year, so both could still be considered young players.



Both Sprong and Yamamoto still have RFA control, and Sprong's QO is only $900k this offseason, while Yamamoto's will be $3.2M.



Yamamoto is the better defensive player for sure, but Sprong has improved his game to become much more of a two-way player. I would say that the gap between Sprong's offensive output and Yamamoto's is greater than the difference in their defense.

That's all not to say that there's zero chance the Kraken wouldn't entertain a trade of this basic framework, but if they did, it wouldn't be for the reasons listed here. I could envision a scenario where GMRF decides to sell high on Sprong and buy low on Yamamoto, but in that scenario the Kraken would want a draft pick coming back to them, not going out.</div></div>

Agreed. Or a straight 1 for 1 could be a possiblilty as well

Thread: Ideal TDL if we dont get Chychrun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SociallyHawkward</b></div><div>Lmao no he wouldn't. Hawks pp is in the bottom half of the league. He ain't taking pp time from jones either. He'd have single digit points on the hawks since they can't score. Mccabe would still easily be their best dman this season.</div></div>

Barrie would 100% take jone's PP1 time because Barrie is a top 10 point producing dman in the NHL over the last decade who is a powerplay specialist like few others in the league. Defensively he has been good this yr (although this is probably a blip). At the end of the day, its Chicago. There's legit no good dmen there minus a mcabe that probably has a hospital bed with his name etched on it with how injured he gets.. On a powerplay with kane, he will still be able to pile up the apples.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>1. Connor Brown is one of the better defensive forwards around.

2. When your linemates hold possession of the puck more often, your opponents score less. That will look like successful defense in on-ice fancy stats.

Assuming both guys get fair extensions, I’d rather have Brown in most situations.</div></div>

1. Where is that information coming from lol

2. Fancy stats largely account for that especially when a player has played on multiple lines throughout a season. he player from 1st through 3rd lines throughout the reg season and we dominant in possession chances for and goal share when heis on the ice with all 3 lines.

I'd rather have JP, he still has the much higher ceiling, is basically in line with brown offensively (except JP scores more) in what has been a bad yr for JP and is elite defensively by all statistical accounts. and unlike brown JP isn't going to be paid close to a bloated contract. Brown is a fine player but JP by almost all statistical metrics impacts the game positively to a greater level than brown ever could.
