Thread: Why CGY have to trade with MTL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LIRIK</b></div><div>I'll note your name because i'm tired of trolls like you who don't know anything about players value or even hockey at all.

You all comment on hockey trades on "hockey site about fake hockey teams", but when you're proven wrong after they're traded, you're all nowhere to be seen.

But i guess that's what the world has become. A real men would admit when he was wrong. What you're doing, never assuming, is what i would call insecurity.</div></div>

Oh boy. A lot to unpack there, tired of trolls, are you 12??

I have been wrong here, still here.. interesting eh? Almost like some guy who considers his peak being right on the internet won’t make anyone tuck tail.

Hahahah a real man. You trying to talk about being a real man on the internet is all anyone needs to know about your beta tendencies. Give them a tug, quit crying on here and give your head a shake.

Thread: Why CGY have to trade with MTL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LIRIK</b></div><div>Your first answer was : How come 23 points in 65 games for 1 season costs a first to move but 32 points in 69 games fir multiple years is worth a first?

My point is Anderson is way more than points. Teams need those potato and meat type of players.

I was only talking about goals because the other guy was arguing Anderson is not a 25 goals scorer, which he clearly is.

I'm the one trying to say Anderson is more than just points. You're the one saying he's bad because of his low point production.

You're right, all teams pay for analytics departments. However, that's just more info they get. Teams choose if they use it or not after. MTL had bad analytics when they reach SCF.

You still can't find when i said Anderson is worth a 1st because i feel like it? Maybe it's because i never said it, and you're making up stuff.

Again, i'll note your name, and when Anderson is traded for a 1st in term of value, we'll talk again. You probably won't answer just like the others who were wrong before you.</div></div>

Telling yourself he’s a 25 goal scorer is lying to yourself. I’d love to see the time they handed out the Rocket Richard to the guy on pace for the most goals, I would hope you’re smarter than that.

You feel like Anderson is worth a first in spite of his negative even strength possession numbers, consistently underperforming to his contract, 36 point 82 game average. That’s just your feelings instead of looking at numbers and thinking hey, this guy kinda stinks for 5.5 a year.

Please note my name, it reaffirms the petulance and insecurity I mentioned above. You can’t see how noting names on a website about fake hockey teams is pathetic right? At best you get to pat yourself in the back.. that’s you’re bar, you can see where I get the feeling that you should be embarrassed right?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LIRIK</b></div><div>When did i say that? You're putting words in my mouth right now.

I think Anderson is worth a 1st because many teams showed interest a few years ago when he was traded from Colombus, and many hockey experts are saying many teams are still interested.

Analytics are good for baseball. That could be an interesting sport for you to watch. Points, score and analytics only, simple enough for you.

Hockey is about many things including toughness, speed and physicality, which are all great atributes Anderson have.</div></div>

This is all so embarrassing for you. You are trying to point out how I am only talking about points? The only thing you’ve talked about in this thread is “Anderson was on pace for this many goals”. Analytics are for baseball.. and you know the 32 teams that are paying through the nose for top end analytics departments in hockey! Maybe instead of switching sports you should just drop the whole watching sports thing together, you clearly would rather think you’re right than learn a thing or two, I don’t know how deep the insecurity runs in other areas of your life but take small steps, start by getting better here today, it’s okay to be wrong. You’ve taken your lumps, time to move on.

Thread: Would this land chychrun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>They don't take on contracts because they are a poor franchise, they want to move Chychrun before they have to pay that bonus next July. The will want as many picks as they can get this draft.

The only issue with this trade proposal is Barrie, I think they would rather take Puljujarvi or Yamamoto for cap + Foegele, then they move Foegele elsewhere.

I did see somewhere saying they wanted a top prospect+ two 1sts but not long ago I heard it was a top prospect+1st (or two 1sts) + some.</div></div>

Yes and no, they took on Ladd, Little, Kassian plus the guys from Vancouver last season. Insured contracts and low salary/high cap hit contracts. If they wanted to stockpile picks from teams that want cap space to compete, there are contracts out there that paid their bonus last July and are due almost no money. If they are moving their best asset you would think they’d aim for a pick that won’t be in the last 10 spots of the draft.

Tough spot for Edmonton cause they’ll have to find a money in, money out deal and the money they’d be willing to move out just doesn’t have a ton of trade value.

It will be steep, that’s a lot. Will be a really interesting story to follow. I feel like it will be a draft day trade when more teams have an idea if they’ll compete next season and they can get a read on Chychurn’s health throughout this season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Barron was a 1st so he got a 1st and a 2nd.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Also... Goals and assists have different value... But you knew that already</div></div>

They got a B+ prospect and a last 3rd of the 2nd round pick.. there’s a real life tangible return that anyone can find and you’re trying to convince yourself it’s a 1st.. that’s weird. By your own logic Calgary should be able to trade Zary, Pelletier, Coronato, this years 1st for Caufield right? That’s 4 first round picks, be crazy to turn down 4 1st round picks. More than they’d get in a top tier offer sheet right?

Goals can be weighted differently sure, but if you’d like to look at the whole picture as opposed to cherry picking, Lehkonen plays significantly better D, analytics darling, was analytically great on the worst team in the league last year, Lehkonen had a 1.4 G/60 with Colorado last year, 0.9 with Montreal, Anderson had 1.0, now Anderson has a 1.4 this season and Lehkonen 0.9 but is that strictly goal production worth a million dollars more this year? all while getting out produced in every other facet of the game?

None of the above even brings the wildly bad contract into context, 4 years of an average 36 points/82 games at 5.5 million and you want a similar return to 34 points/82 games at 1.15M and an expiring RFA..Montreal also got paid for the retention in that deal increasing the return. Ignore everything else in this comment other than the last paragraph. Just answer this part above

Thread: Starting off the Darkest Era in Flames history
Hahaha this is a rollercoaster. Settle down, it's a game, it effects your day to day life in zero way.

Flames have had statistically BY FAR the toughest schedule to start the season, horribly long home stand, new players and a coach that's tough to adjust to. They're one point off from a wild card with 80% of the season left to play, teams ahead of them are susceptible to losing streaks as well, Seattle, LA, Edmonton all ripe for picking off. Teams behind them are all bad teams that won't push them late into the season. These posts are so strange and the fact Treliving has iced the team that he has this year is a reason to step back from the ledge, tons of cap at the deadline, tons of short term deals that are moveable and a two year window to go all in before reassessing. The fact Markstrom buried in the minors is mentioned here is enough to write this off as a troll job.
