<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>Disagree. This trade might be the furthest from realistic, but EDM is losing this deal. RNH is the best player in this trade, and the value is equal.</div></div>

Yes RNH is the best player in the trade. But Reinhart isn' far off from him. And Reinhart is younger, cheaper, and cost controlled for much longer. Therefor his value is similar to Nuges, if not more. Ulmark has more value than Puljujarvi at this point, and the fact that the oilers organization has said they're looking for a 3rd line for puljujarvi hurts his value even more. So we are essentially getting Risto for a 2nd and a 3rd in this trade. Not fair at all, and this is coming from a die hard Oilers fan

Edit: you are kind of making Oilers fans look dumb... Please don't

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>great, you bring in a prospect to stop getting gooned up, that will end well. Honestly I don't think you get it. And it's Gudbranson don't know who the hell Gustafsson is.
It's not just a body to play hockey. In case you missed it, the most skilled teams aren't exactly playing for the cup this year. ..Like I said. Toronto has no answer for it. If you want to get further than the first round you better start finding it. Because the NHL has been clear they prefer the "drama" </div></div>

Your entire argument is based on the faulty premise that Toronto got gooned up when they literally outhit the Bruins, and that is when gooning it up isn't their style. And sorry for the slip of the fingers there, happens on occasion, Gustafsson/Gudbransson, Murray/Murphy, there's a bunch of dmen with similar names, you occasionally mix them up, especially when up until this season one was barely an NHLer and the other is still barely an NHLer.

And yeah, the Blues and Bruins totally aren't highly skilled /s. Neither were the Capitals, Penguins, Haws, Kings, etc. Yeah they may not be the purest high skill team but they aren't goontown either. The Bruins probably come closest to being more goony than skilled, but even that is discrediting the skill that those players have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>And if it wasn't Boston roughing toronto up it would have been CBJ and if not CBJ it would have been carolina and if not carolina it would have been the Blues. </div></div>

Gave me a bit of a laugh there at Carolina roughing a team up, but I guess there would be weirder things to happen.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Toronto has no answer for it. People knew they had no answer for it last year and were looking for "pushback" and they never got it. No one was surprised when the dirty play started and no one for Toronto did anything about it so it continued. Which is a general pattern in the NHL. When teams know they can push you around they will. And don't act like it doesn't effect play because you are watching the cup finals at home. </div></div>

<em>*Stares at video of Kadri almost chopping a guys head off with his stick and the absolute clustercluck that was that entire 3rd period*</em>. I'm not sure if you recall but the games following that absolute mess were referied much more tightly. Not to mention those refs were literally given an early vacation for their poor officiating.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I don't think you get it. It's not a cap dump.
It's filling a need. It's why Kadri gets suspended every year against boston. It's why boston runs rugshot on you every year. Knee on knee, putting a player into the side wall...etc....
They have no one to do anything about it. Hockey is a dirty game, it's suppose to "police itself".
Who on toronto can do that. People like you think Gudbranson is a cap dump just don't get hockey. Toronto fills a need because if they don't, it's the same crap again next year.</div></div>

Its a cap dump if you can fill the need for practicially league min or by bringing up your own player in say Andreas Borgman. The leafs aren't about to strap themselves with that contract.
