He's an old Sportsnet poster. Been around for decades.
Same shtick, same style, same name.
Just enjoy. He really does try.
That’s where I recognize him from. Definitely the same troll...I mean poster.

McAvoy? I’m a Leon guy. Pasta/Draisaitl would be deadly!The only guy I deal Draisaitl for is Seth Jones.

Not for Draisaitl, no. Although I love McAvoy and would have him on the Oilers in a heartbeat. It would take a player like Jones to break up the best duo in hockey.
Really ? In every ranking I see it's either him or kucherov in top spot for best wingerPatrick Kane is hands down the most underrated player in the league AINEC. He's simply the best winger in the game and no one gives him respect.
I got Ovi there but those 2 are pretty goodReally ? In every ranking I see it's either him or kucherov in top spot for best winger
I was gonna add that some people have ovie Haha but that's mostly if you value goal scoring plus his career / legacy imo.I got Ovi there but those 2 are pretty good
I was talking wingers. I put Crosby ahead of Ovi as a forwardI was gonna add that some people have ovie Haha but that's mostly if you value goal scoring plus his career / legacy imo.
Just like some people have Crosby at top forward I guess but ovechkins points fell a bit more so I have him somewhere top 5 but not where he was.
Maybe you never said it but plenty of Oilers said it. Go check the trade thread.
Anyway I think Drai is a legit first line player but his point total is no doubt inflated by McDavid.
Draisaitl to Blackhawks
Patrick Kane, Kirby Dach to Edmonton.
I guess I just don't value Kane as an important piece in the future.I just threw up all over my phone.
Why would the Hawks do Kane for Draisaitl straight up right now? Clearly management is going for it again. Kane is a better player right now... by a lot. Kane is right there with Kucherov for best winger in the game.
Then you want to add our #3 overall top prospect, too?
You should be ashamed if you really are a Hawks fan.

Hawks' window is closed and they can't compete for years from now. Kane is just being wasted anyway.
I would hate to have to trade him 3,4,5 years from now. His value goes down rapidly with age. He just came off a 110pt season. Probably the last summer trading him will net you a franchise player in return. Or maybe next summer? But it's close anyway.

Past glory really blinds people.
No Kane is not a lot better then Draisaitl.
Draisaitl is every bit as good as Kane now. Except bigger.
Both easily top 10 players in this league.
Draisaitl is getting way too underrated in these boards.
I have seen ratings where some people dont even have him In the top 25.
Homer much people ?

“Past glory” lol Kane put up 5 more points THIS PAST SEASON than Draisaitl who plays with Connor ****ing Mcdavid.
When homers talk about homerism... yikes.
Kane is one of the top wingers in the game today. No question.
You had a solid argument until you threw in the "with Connor McDavid" part. It isn't like Kane played with scrubs.
That is the narrative that drives Oiler fans nuts. Like Draisaitl would be nothing without McDavid.
Anyway, Kane is a better winger. Top 3 in the game for my money.

Kane played with a 3rd/4th liner (who helped Toews by grinding and letting him play a skill game) and Toews.
I’m not saying Draisaitl is bad or even that he only puts up points because of McDavid but I find it really difficult to argue that any player helps his linemate score more than McDavid because he is the best player in the game... so with that understanding, Kane outscored Draisaitl this past year by 5 points with less help getting said points (the amount of help can be debated, but not that Draisaitl had more).
So again saying that Kane is washed and his hype is a glory days narrative or whatever that poster is insinuating is just ridiculous and the Hawks shouldn’t even trade them 1for1 right now while management seems to be going for it with their core again.
I think Draisaitl is incredible if that matters.
Pretty much my thoughts on it. McAvoy is really good but that doesn't get it done, or make me think overly hard about it.
Legit Norris level prime aged #1 defenceman with term, or don't even bother.
That Habs offer of Domi+Gallagher+Suzuki+ would get me thinking, and the Dallas offer with Klingberg wasn't bad, but other than that...
I totally understand your first two paragraphs.
But then you followed with the last paragraph.
