Based on what?

He's robotic and has a bit of tunnel vision like EJ. They were both fully formed men physically and both just looked like Top 4 D when they step out there. But upon closer inspection, they lack the refinement needed to be a Pietrangelo type who can anchor a blueline.

I reserve the right to change this opinion**

 

[TaLoN]

That's something you do two years from now.

It's something you Should ALWAYS be looking at as a GM. Don't want him walking while being a complete surprise

You don't trade someone unless you know they don't want to be here. In the case he does want to move on, then he should be open to a trade in his final year.

 

[Sweetnut]

Kinda of a new thing here. Watching the game without drinking. Not sure I like it this way…..

Bowl of ice cream didn’t help either….

Yeah I'll try anything once. But not too sure about that..

This makes me believe that you don't actually believe what you wrote above it lol

You trade someone if it's a net benefit to the Team. That's Why any blockbuster trade happens
like I said. depends on the return

 

[Roman Maroni]

Is it mandatory in the Wild playbook that no matter the circumstance you have 3 options when entering the zone.

Option 1: skate the puck into the corner where you will get tied up and possibly lose the puck.

Option 2: dump the puck to the corner where you will get tied up and lose the puck

Option 3: never go to the center of the ice, always defer to option 1 and 2…..

Name me the net benefit we get from trading Kaprizov this year.

You don't know unless you explore

Name a plausible return that would be a "net benefit"

Agreed. It’s not alarmist to look ahead.

This makes me believe that you don't actually believe what you wrote above it lol

no, I just haven’t watched enough of him to get a read yet; that assessment is incomplete. And it’s only January, so I’m about 3 months from deep diving on the prospects for this years draft.

I’ve also always favored guys with NHL IQ over guys with NHL physical tools.

Name a plausible return that would be a "net benefit"

Rantanen , 2024 1st and 2024 2nd

 

[Sweetnut]

Mermaid wtf?

 

[TaLoN]

Name a plausible return that would be a "net benefit"

Top overall pick?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Rantanen , 2024 1st and 2024 2nd

Not plausible.

 

[MK9]

Rossi is just damn good at puck retrieval.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Rantanen , 2024 1st and 2024 2nd

Top overall pick?

I said plausible.

 

[TaLoN]

I said plausible.

Then like I said. explore - don't know What's on the table without looking into it. The GM should at least look

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Name a plausible return that would be a "net benefit"

To LA for Fiala + 1st + something.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

You don't put a superstar's name on the market unless you are moving them, period. What good comes from that? Even mentioning it to another GM is going to have them leaking it to the press to sow discord. Your suggestion is entirely impersonal, having your name on the market is going to damage the player's relationship with the team.

 

[Sweetnut]

Now rest up and listen to the Leadership Dude having his moment in the locker room.

Exploring isn't "Putting on the Market"
Publicly Stating Someone will be traded is.
Plenty of hypothetical trades get discussed about tons of players that never get trended

I doubt Fiala wants to come back and he has a full NMC.

 

[Avder]

does anyone have any idea what our average shot per game during the regular season has been year over year for our entire history? It feels like we are consistently near or at the bottom because I mean I saw near the end of the period we’re being outshot 31 to 10 and that just seems like f***ing par for the course.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Yeah, but it would be funny.
