Thread: This team will be awful
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>Pretty sure you didn’t check who was nemeth because if you had you would knew that he was the 6 defenseman last year in colorado. And he wasn’t playing on the top 4. Johnson, barrie, cole and samuel girard was there top 4 and zadorov was use more Then nemeth. So
Basically nemeth was the 6 defenseman in Colorado and was healty scratch for
Most of the playoff. So how
You feel now mister smart ssa</div></div>

You can look up stat sheets, your such a big boy now. Me and your mom are very proud. I know Nemeth played a lot with Girard in his first year and helped him out a lot in D zone, which is what Blash said he thinks he can do for a more offensive guy like Green or Hronek.

Thread: adding right hand shot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pavelisgoat</b></div><div>For me, it’s this exactly. That plus the logjam then at centre. Nielsen and Turris would be fine, but then having Helm, LGD and Abby as well, we won’t be able to get rid of all of them. I’m already counting on Helm and Abby being scratched or injured. Can’t be scratching 3 forwards. The other option is no young guys in the lineup, I don’t like that idea either. We already signed Filps, no room for another vet forward unless we unload our guys (like you did in this trade). Just would prefer not getting two back, if it’s just Turris, maybe. Need Svech to get some chances. But having all of Nielsen, Turris and Filps is maybe just too much still.</div></div>

i would think Yzerman will at least move one of Neilsen, Helm, or Abby before 20-21 season

Thread: Any interest in these trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>When Holland made the decision to keep Rasmussen at the start of the season Yzerman hadn't stepped down yet. Plus if was premeditated why didn't get permission for Rasmussen leave early like they did with Zadina.</div></div>

I never said Yzerman was part of the decision to keep Ras in NHL. Ras was NOT kept in the NHL by Holland to be "a star from day 1 and keep Yzerman at bay for another couple of years". Yzerman stepped down from GM position on September 11th of last year, so before the season started. When Yzerman stepped down, he and Holland both knew that Yzerman would take over in 19-20 or Yzerman wouldn't have stepped down from being the GM of the best team in the league that he had spent 10 years building.

Get permission to leave early? leave early from what?

Thread: idk what they will do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>Gotcha, I'm sorry I thought you saw the chart. So you'd see that both offensively and defensively across the board based off of a very significant sample size that Buch is a superior player. And the lack of age disparity makes discussions of "potential" moot. We use charts and stats like this because they show actual on ice performance, as opposed to what the performance looked like. So when there's something explicit as "how much does a player drive scoring" like:

<a href="https://ibb.co/yNp3J84" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/yNp3J84/Screen-Shot-2019-07-19-at-7-58-50-AM.png" alt="Screen-Shot-2019-07-19-at-7-58-50-AM"></a>

And you couple that with the fact that Buch is almost a standard deviation worth a better defender. Yeah I don't think there's too much of an argument...</div></div>

Ok so according to that chart, Buch is better offensively then, Kane, Pasternak, Draisaitl, Marner?

Thread: idk what they will do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>Cool he’s fast and terrible at defense. I just don’t know why you’re equating that to Buchnevich.

We had basically the fastest player in the league in Carl Hagelin. And he was one of the better defensive forwards in the entire league. He was also worth a 2nd and a B prospect. I like AA. He’s a nice player to have in your middle 6. Just not sure why you’re comparing to Buchnevich.</div></div>

you started the comparison with the "Buch &gt; AA" comment, so im arguing that AA is the better player and has more value. Once again he's not "just fast", hes one of the fastest in the league, makes skilled plays at high speed, which is why he was a 30 goal scorer last year. He's okay defensively not "terrible" at all. Why are you only basing players value on how good defensively they are. You could have a bunch of players that are good defensively, but if they don't have enough skill to play with other skilled players and be a contributor offensively, then they are a bottom six player. Also if you look above in my first comment, i said Buch is a really good player.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>cool...here's this:

<a href="https://ibb.co/x6ZmNN9" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/x6ZmNN9/buch-aa.png" alt="buch-aa"></a>

Is there any rebuttal aside from "he's fast"? because being a C doesn't really matter if you're atrocious at defense and faceoffs...

I would say Buch for AA + 2nd is a pretty intriguing offer though. That's about the value disparity.</div></div>

Yeah there is. He’s not just fast, he’s one of the fastest in the league and can make plays at that high speed. Pretty sure he can get better at face offs man, he’s played like 20 total games at center in his NHL career. Not even saying he’s a center either, but it’s valuable that he can play center if needed, say because of injuries, and it just give you way more options. I watched every red wings game last year and I thought he looked better at center than wing TBH. When he was on the wing he was more of an offensive weapon, at center he was more dynamic in all three zones. But yeah right now his defensive game isn’t as strong as his offensive game.

Thread: Lucic and Gusev Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chips_n_beer</b></div><div>Eakin is a valuable asset on any team where Reaves maybe only on a couple of teams, GM's will make any trade if they feel it improves their team</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lilebroer</b></div><div>I’m 98% shure that all the leagues GMs think otherwise. If they have space or need for them is another question.</div></div>

If your a GM in the West, then your 98% not gonna wanna help them sign Gusev, unless your getting back an asset that is better than Eakin. If your a GM in the East , then your 98% still gonna ask for Gusev, an the if there is no deal to be made then maybe a team in will take Eakin for a cheap. Thats how i see it playing out. I still think they will just take the best offer for Gusev, which will most likely be a pretty good deal for them, especially since they got Gusev for nothing
