Recently <a href="/users/MadmanFromMadison" target="_blank">@MadmanFromMadison</a> was arguing with me on why she felt Toews is a better hockey player than Crosby. She brought up some interesting stats: In head to head matchups throughout their careers (14 games), Toews has 18 points and a plus 10 rating whereas Crosby has only 7 points and a -14 rating. What’d y’all think of this?</div></div>

philip danault, head to head against auston matthews, has 5 points. matthews has 0. does that mean that danault is better than matthews? now obv i dont have the indepth numbers, but crosby is a level above toews

Thread: Options
I mean even in your scenario they JUST fit in and have no flexibility to operate.

Problem also is they arn't going to bury either. DeSmith is a no brainer to get claimed off waivers, and it’s not worth having Jarry as backup, DeSmith has outplayed him at every turn.
JJ they are just not waiving unfortunately, especially if they have any hope of moving him at some point.

So maybe they don’t “have to” make a move, in your dream the impossible dream world...but they are going to...

Also I wouldn’t say Pettersson at 1.8 is fair outside of the ACGM universe. Would not be surprised at all to see him over 2.25...that’s probably the floor for his next deal.
If 1.8 was the number I imagine they would have locked him up already. They reportly want him with term....and they can exceed the cap in the offseason and even go into the season over the cap after all

That said, OP, my preference would be Gudbranson or JJ because I don’t want both playing on the backend, but most likely it’s Bjugstad bc they can plug McCann there. Also Bjugstad doesn’t PK and isn’t especially physical or fast.

Also worth noting they can sign ZAR and Pettersson, be over the cap and not have to worry until like October, the cap is calculated by day to day salary, not total value on roster, and it can be exceeded in the summer and in the season as well.

Thread: Ducks Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>riles23</b></div><div>I appreciate the detailed response with intelligence behind it. I would say Maatta + Angello (or a better prospect) would be fair value for Montour but like you said, they may not be ready to call it in just yet. I am basically going off rumours and seeing if I can make something of it myself.</div></div>

Then let me help you out, as a Ducks fan. I apologize if you know all of this already.

Anaheim has two top-flight centers on NMC's and a third whom they just signed long-term. The Ducks have auditioned 6 rookie forwards (Comtois, Lundestrom, Steel, Sherwood, Kossila and Carrick -- listed in the order I think they're likely to make the team next year) and now 4 rookie defensemen (Larsson, Pettersson and Mahura on the left and Welinksi on the right), so I don't think that any of them is likely to be moved before getting a full evaluation of everyone. In addition, Aberg and Kase appear to be top-6 material in the immediate future. Perry (hard NMC) and Eaves (poor medical history) have little or no trade value. Rakell and the top 4 defensemen are untouchable barring a blockbuster offer. That effectively leaves Silfverberg, Cogliano and Ritchie. I know the Ducks would love to re-sign Silfverberg, because he's fast and their best two-way forward younger than Kesler. Cogliano never misses a game and is an excellent penalty killer; he's a third-line wing playing on the second line due to his chemistry with Kesler and Silfverberg. So that kinda leaves Ritchie and some unusual thoughts about Fowler and Manson (because I can't see the Ducks moving Lindholm or Montour.)

Thread: Toronto Block Buster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Why is trolling applauded? Is it really something to be admired? "Hey this guy is really good and taking meaningful discussion and turning into people getting mad and making fun of each other, he's so good at it." Is that really something we should want? Why have serious, discussions resulting in people learning new perspectives and developing positive connections with other people when we can instead make each other mad and then laugh at whichever person gets victimized by some faceless jerk on the internet.

Seriously any who thinks trolls and trolling is fun and valuable should give their head a shake.</div></div>

I really hate to break it to you, but it's clearly a response to the absurd trades that are being posted on here. Maybe you should lighten up a bit. My god, it's clearly a joke. Not only on toronto but how horrible the pens blue line is.

but i would clearly take the boston trade at this point.
