Thread: Full on tank is back on the menu
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>If you think a contending team wont take a power forward that scores 20 goals consistently and is built for the playoffs, along with a rising salary cap then I dont know what to tell you when Tanner Jeannot got traded for 5 draft picks and Cal Foote.

'You cant fight fate'</div></div>

Yea, all those 20 goal scorers making $5.5m a year for term in an age where everyone is against the cap are really making huge moves like getting a 1st or top prospect. Tanner Jeannot makes literally half of what Anderson does. Please provide all those examples of teams paying to take on a 20g scorer making all that money. Cheers.

P.S. "Built for the playoffs", guy has one one playoff run with more than a goal. LMAO.

Thread: Pettersson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Savage27</b></div><div>Bratt was literally ineffective in the playoffs cuz he is undersized. 32 of 32 front offices would say size is not overrated</div></div>

LOL.

We should trade him for RYAN REAVES! Because his career 0.07 pts/gm in playoffs is proof... size trumps skill!

MARCHESSAULT was awful last year.... Zero fights.

Get IVAN BARBASHEV! He HITS. Boom! His 0.18 ppg in playoffs is plenty.

JAKE GUENTZEL...good thing Pens benched him in their cup runs.

They could have won with a heavy winger like WILLIAM CARRIER! 0.11 ppg in playoffs, who cares? He is 220 lbs of man!

BRAD MARCHAND, take a seat.

If you fall behind, a guy like MATT MARTIN (0.15 ppg) can rip a guys face off. Because when you're down, you don't want goals. You want revenge!

CALE MAKAR is only good for regular season. Give me HAKANPAA!!!

KUCHEROV should be benched in playoffs. His buddy BRAYDEN POINT too. Who cares about their 1.13 and 1.02 ppg...they are lilliputians.

Lightning would have won something if they had MANTHA and LUCIC instead

FIALA, FOX, ZUCCARELLO....pass. PANARIN, no thanks.

KURTIS MACDERMID, PAT MAROON, JOEL ARMIA....start, start, start!

DEBRINCAT, GAUDREAU, MARNER....bench, bench, bench!

JOSH ANDERSON is elite!

Thread: Pick a side for rebuilding club
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Rossi and Turcotte are both highly-rated undersized centers who can skate, make plays. Both have run into some health speed bumps. They are likely in a similar bucket now, although Rossi’s more likely to get roster spot.

Holtz and Rossi stats may be similar, but play different positions, provide different attributes.</div></div>

Rossi's health issues are most likely completely behind him, Turcotte's likely never will be. You don't usually see a lot of guys come back from multiple concussions by the age of 22.
And beyond the injuries, Rossi has just flat out been a better player. Neither has shown anything at the NHL, but Rossi has shown significantly more in the AHL. That's why Rossi's getting a spot and Turcotte isn't.

It's just not fair to Turcotte, there's no bit of evidence that you can point to and say "this is why Turcotte is the better choice here". With the other options there's at least some of that.
