Thread: Fair Jones Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>deys3232</b></div><div>Not really, Ive watched a ton of Jones film recently to see what makes him look so good. Here are my obervations
-He allows everyone to enter the zone
-He is big and hits in corners
-He does not break up passes/allows everyone to make plays
-He is always scrambling in the D-Zone and happens to get a ton of blocks because he is always scrambling
-He has a great skater who is good in transition/bringing the puck up the ice
-He lets Werenski create offense. Hes very passive offensively, occasionally using his big shot to take a slapper set up by a team mate
-Chills at the blueline and looks like he is doing something</div></div>

Crazy how if you only look for the flaws in someones game they stand out. Jones is not perfect but he is also one of the least sheltered defenseman in the league. I guess it's jsut a fluke that the 34M line got shut out when matched up the entire game against the AHL caliber defensman Seth Jones

Thread: Mantha Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bobthebuilder</b></div><div>The caps trade - so DD is not a bottom pairing defenseman and looking at Radko Gudas, Dillon and Jonas whats his nuts, DD is certainly an upgrade, your window is closing, so your team needs to do something and take advantage of the few years you have left...as far as McMichael goes, he may be good or he may not be, we wont know for a few years, by then the Caps will be drafting in the top 10 again...</div></div>

No way are the caps trading McMichael for Dekeyser lol. The Capitals can just go to free agency and sign someone to fill that role for much cheaper than dekeyser and not trade anything. You're closing window argument is pretty weak. Dekeyser is the answer? No, no he's not

I could see Carolina liking Mantha but I think they would have to shed a contract in that trade as well. Maybe dzingel, bean and the 1st. Bean is a good get imo

Thread: flame away but a number one center
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dpellz90</b></div><div>Kuznetsov is not that good. He's terrible defensively.

While Domi is also bad defensively, he's not as bad as Kuznetsov, he's also better offensively than Kuznetsov.

Danault is straight-up better than Kuznetsov, no questions asked.

That and they lose Mete who's pretty good for Kempny who did not have a great year.</div></div>

Oh, how novel. A Pens fan insulting a Capitals player by making things up.

Kuznetsov has three 70+ point seasons and one 32 point playoffs. As a Penguins fan, you'll be happy to hear that the only active player with a better single season playoff points total is Malkin: <a href="http://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?aggregate=0&amp;reportType=season&amp;seasonFrom=19171918&amp;seasonTo=20192020&amp;gameType=3&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=points&amp;page=0&amp;pageSize=100" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?aggregate=0&amp;reportType=season&amp;seasonFrom=19171918&amp;seasonTo=20192020&amp;gameType=3&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=points&amp;page=0&amp;pageSize=100</a>

He shut down Crosby pretty well in the 2018 2nd round. To me, that's a good enough defensive center. He doesn't play as much PK as Danault, but Panik does, and can come close to Danault's point totals, if he plays 2R or 2L.

Thread: Taylor Hall
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>theBeer_Leaguer</b></div><div>All of these are your opinions, not facts lol. "Eller is only going down from here." How is that anything other than an opinion. You literally said "in my opinion" on the Carlson take. Oshie is still on the 2nd line, so just untrue, Orlov's best season can be debated upon, maybe 17-18, maybe 19-20 but definitely not an outright fact. Many people think Carlson is the front runner. Backstrom is playing both 1st and 2nd line, since Kuznetsov usually works better with Ovi and WIlson, has nothing to do with Backstrom not being as good of a player.</div></div>

Facts &gt; thoughtless opinions. No player on the caps is showing the type of decline that would lead you to believe they aren’t a playoffs team
