Thread: Not time yet to move on from Meier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>First, I do not know why so many Sharks fans continue to contest this. This is standard fare in scouting world.

Second, that Sheng Peng article has been echo’ed by other Sharks observers and referenced many times by Sharks fans on ACGM. If you want to start pushing back on them, be my guest. But when a Devils fan starts using the sources that Sharks want to fans use, don’t cry to us.</div></div>

I have pushed back on them many times. I have corrected a few specifically on Holtz. (Anybody who actually believes Nemec is a B prospects isn't worth the effort)

My point is if you KNOW the "Sharks see Nemec is a B prospect" thing is obviously false, why do you continue to push it?

Thread: Meier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>I'd have to beluieve Meier cost more than "a little bit more than O'Reilly" based on his age, re-signibility, trade of his rights, but especially because hes having a great year, none of which apply to ROR.

But mostly, why do leaf fans throw a bunch of useless stuff into trades, like out of date cans of soup from the back of the cupboard.

Seriously what does SDA and Kerfoot add to this trade, and why would SJ take on five contracts. Take out those 2 and its actually a quality offer: 2 good, almost high level prospects, one broken prospect who might garner a 3rd on his own and a 1st, 3rd, 4th over the next 2 years, is a a quality offer.

But SDA and Kerfoot offer negative value to SJ, so you're adding a 4th or robertson just to take on those 2, lessening the deal.

And while you're not asking for retention, you're blindly hoping Murray stays on LTIR for the rest of the season AND that samsonov can stay consistent.</div></div>

this was mostly to show how stupid some "insiders" are that they think that would get a 40 goal scorer, ppg winger who is a RFA.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ritzy</b></div><div>I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but apparently Seravalli was pretty irritated that TOR didn't give him the inside scoop on the ROR trade right before it came out. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

No doubt pushing a narrative that Meier could be had at similar cost to be bitter, which in reality probably won't be the case. Meier will cost more.</div></div>

Quite. I've enjoyed the pile on that he's been getting from twitter...saw a couple from him the other day...first one was from a week or two ago that said something along the lines of "ROR is exactly the kind of player that Toronto needs!", then, following the trade, he said something like "Oh yeah, ROR is wrong for the Leafs and they overpaid, and it's a bad trade, blah blah blah". Clown show.
