Thread: Tom Wilson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lyle_Bubas</b></div><div>are you like 65 years old what, fashion shows with nylander?

Nylander is an elite playmaking winger who's got a deadly wrist shot. He has more career goals and points than wilson does in 215 less games.

Wilson is a bruiser who is a career minus in the playoffs who prior to the cup win was completely invisible and useless for offence.

Since he's got his cup his "playoff clutchness" hasn't gotten his team out of the first round

Wilson's a solid player, and I'd love him on the team, but he's overpaid as hell and is way less useful than an elite winger like nylander</div></div>

Yup of course Nylander has more career goals and points than Wilson in many less games, that's not Wilson's primary role. It's just like saying, Wilson has 20x more hits than Nylander in his career (a true stat), so he's better. That stat is also true, but that's not Nylander's game. (And btw I'm not even saying anything close to that Wilson is a more valuable or better player)

"Wilson is a career minus in the playoffs" he's -1 don't act like he's -30

I love that you purposely cut out his recent playoffs in that image to make it seem like he hasn't improved from when he was 20-23 years old and just playing a 4th line role lol.

Overpaid? Really? If anything underpaid, on pace for 25 goals and 53 points (over a full season in 19-20) while being such a unique and physical player in the league.

I'm not agreeing with the trade or anything, but don't exaggerate or willfully ignore particular details to make your point seem more logical, because it's so glaringly obvious for those that are informed enough to see through that bull****.

Thread: WASH WILL NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS
Some things I'll argue you on:

Samsonov already began skating three weeks ago and is back to practicing, the team knows the degree of the injury, in that he is 100% and it's healed already.

Kuznetsov had 52 points in 63 games in a down year. Unless he gets injured, I don't see how he could ever get less than 50 points, given he always plays on the first PP and plays with Ovi half the time. If the season is limited to 60ish games, maybe in the 50s.

Ovi is one season off of yet another 50+ goal pace (if a full season had happened), and you predict a potential 18 goal season? I don't think he's really a wildcard, maybe he regresses a BIT in goals, but you think he'll go from 48 to potentially not even 20?

I don't know where you are getting that Orlov is a liability... he isn't at all

I'm not even going to bother arguing about your Wilson comment... I understand hatred for Wilson as a player given his history but if you deny his skill and power forward ability in the top 6 you obviously don't know enough about hockey

One year of age does not bring this team from first in their division to missing the playoffs lol. Multiple years away from that imo. Now if you were to say 'if this team doesn't get younger than in 2/3 years they will be a bottom 10 team' I might agree with that statement more
