Thread: The Missing Pieces
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>The Kings put Andersson on waivers earlier this season. If anyone wanted him, they would have claimed him for free back then.</div></div>

I disagree with the statement. Just because Andersson was placed on waivers and was not claimed, it does not necessarily mean that he has no value to other teams. Teams often have specific needs and priorities, and a player that goes unclaimed on waivers one time may be in high demand at another point in the season or in the future. For example, the Calgary Flames claimed Oliver Kylington off waivers in January 2021 after he went unclaimed earlier in the season, and he has since become a regular contributor to the team. Therefore, it is possible that the Kings could still receive a valuable return in a trade for Andersson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>deys3232</b></div><div>I mean, don't get me wrong, Harvey Pinard is a decent player, but he's just not on the same level as Andersson. Andersson is just an awesome player, and it would be a real shame to see him go. I don't think trading him for Harvey Pinard is a good move for the Kings.</div></div>

I disagree with the statement. While Harvey Pinard may not have the same level of recognition as Andersson, it is unfair to judge his value as a player solely based on reputation or past performance. Every player brings unique skills and attributes to a team, and it is possible that Pinard could bring valuable contributions to the Kings. Additionally, player trades are often motivated by a variety of factors beyond individual performance, such as team dynamics, salary considerations, and long-term strategy. It is important to consider the full context of the situation before making a judgement on the potential trade.

Thread: Sens becoming TRUE CONTENDERS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Levig01</b></div><div>This team is worse. Why do u have a non proven goalie as your starter when he can't even play as he is stuck in russia. Why is Debrincat on the 3rd line? How does Deslauriers make the team better and why is he on the 3rd line? Why is Thornton even on the team? Why do you trade Zub but keep Zaitsev? Why would you trade Brannstrom for a 4th when he just played his best game today? Why would you choose to take on Josh Anderson's contract which is one of the worst contracts in the league?</div></div>

I did not see the game where Brannstrom was apparently good. Fedotov has game breaking potential and they are a tandem. Debrincat is on the third line like Kessel in PIT. Deslauries is the Grit the Sens need to get back to the playoffs. Thornton is the veteran presence they need. Josh Anderson is a Leaf killer and play playoff style hockey.
