Thread: Fair Jones Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>deys3232</b></div><div>Yes I have, Ive watch a ton of Jones heres what I learned from analysing ONLY Jones and completely ignoring everything else on the ice

-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>

Well I guess one of my two earlier statements does hold true then, huh

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>

I don't think you know enough about the Caps situation to even attempt to reason why this trade makes sense for them. Gudas is gone and likely so is Dillon to free agency, and even if we don't pick up another defenseman we have Carlson, Kempny, Orlov, Jensen, Siegenthaler and Fehervary who are all NHL players. McMichael was with the team through the playoffs this year as a 19 year old. He will be an NHL player, I'd guess he plays games for the Caps this season. Why would we trade away by far our best prospect for Dekeyser. It makes zero sense, even if you ignore how lopsided the trade is value wise, the Caps can't even take on that much salary cap for two years. We need to re-sign Ovi, Vrana and Samsonov next offseason.
