Thread: Pavel Datsyuk in his prime was better than Ovi in his prime change my mind

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>Yes and? You still have to do it DET had loads of great defensive forwards apart from Datsyuk (Zetterberg, Franzen, Fillpula...) and Pavel still took the time to practice his defensive game</div></div>

Another reason I say Ovi is because, his entire Career has been his 'Prime'. Yes Dats has ALWAYS been a good player, but his prime was closer to the beginning of his career and lasted A LOT shorter(his prime) than Ovi.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>And? Look Ovi will be ranked higher than Datsyuk but that's because in those list the forwards' defensive play isn't taken heavily into account.

Lmao, anyone can score a lot more if they dont play defense

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AFOX10900</b></div><div>Exactly, they'll show Datsyuk was better (still one of the highest all time WAR and GAR totals, consistently elite RAPM and other possession metrics...)</div></div>

Definitely better at defense, no question.

Now obvisouly this article doesnt mean im right, but you have to think, even ESPN had other players over Datsyuk (Kane, Stamkos Bergereon Malkin Ovi McDavid Crosby are the forwards ahead of him - not including the defenseman that are ahead.)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>Stats aren't everything my friend. Datsyuk did everything right whereas Ovi was only elite offensively. That doesn't mean Ovi is bad by any means, he isn't he's a first ballot HOF but nah Ovi didn't do what Datsyuk did</div></div>

And Datsyuk didnt do what Ovi did. IMO its pretty obvious that Ovi is the more Dominant player. Literally puts the Caps on his back for half of his career.

Ovi definitely ranks higher on the 'best players of all time' list

I feel like Fair'ish would start with someone like a Jack Drury or Jamieson Rees....but to your point and i agree, it would probably be wise not to part with prospects.</div></div>

Yeah, after losing Luostarinen Gauthier Priskie and Kuokkanen, I dont think we should trade anymore of them unless its for a legit player.

Honestly no idea.

This planet. Unfortunately I can only name a recent one that happened with the Canes: De Haan.

Theres probably a lot instances but im no braniac.

Also, switch Schenn with any solid 2nd line center in the league. This post is more about Canes becoming Elite with another Center

Thread: In a couple years

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>I expect Svech to sign a 6 year deal a la Mikko Rantanen and Skjei to either be dealt (if his performance picks up, as he very may well since he's only 26, he'll be worth more than the 1st rounder that we traded him away for) or picked up by Seattle in the Expansion Draft. Hopefully Dougie's AAV is able to be kept under $10M AAV via front-loading and signing bonuses.</div></div>

I think Svech probably only gets a 6 year if he takes another big step next year. If he can be ppg like Rantanen then yes 6 year makes a lot of sense

Thread: Opening Night- Blockbuster

Cant see the Canes moving Dougie. A Dougie trade would be more likely to happen in 4 years when Aho and Turbos contracts are up. Otherwise they should be able to fit everyone in the cap within that 4 years.

Thread: Unlikely 3 Way

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>I can think of 3 problems why this 3-way trade doesn't really work.

1) I can't see any team taking that Parise contract without shedding another one. Taking a very big and risky contract for a 35 year old player seems unwise to me

2) and With Staal's NMC MIN has to protect him in the expansion draft, and since they're most likely protecting 4 D-men (Suter, Spurgeon, Dumba, Brodin/Soucy regarding of whether they re-sign Brodin in-season or not), this leaves two forwards to be protected. Zuccarello and Staal are must-protects. There are pretty many players they should be protecting instead of Jordan Staal. This way I get trading Parise because they're in the same boat with that contract - then again I'd suggest MIN buy that contract out

3) despite having a bad season, Gardiner is probably the most valuable of the package going MIN's way, which is a problem because there's no way they can protect him...losing him for free isn't really a viable option. Even if he actually waived his M-NTC for Wild in the first place.

The trade value is ok, but the forthcoming expansion draft makes this pretty impossible to work out.</div></div>

Completely agree on all of this. More reasons why this is unlikely haha!
