How about we don't give up any of our prospects for yandle.
Yandle has got to be extremely overhyped.

It's obviously not an exact science. But to everyone saying Paul > Lazar... Consider that Lazar had 38 goals in his draft year and Nick Paul had 12...
Well... Murray wants a Top6 forward and Matt Beleskey who leads the ducks with 17Goals is apparently a healthy scratch tonight....

All I'm saying is the hype you're giving Paul is pretty insane.
I think Paul could be a 2nd line LW while I don't think Lazar becomes more than a 3rd liner

First of all, it's irrelevant where he is in the league in terms of deployment compared to other players, he still gets 3/8 of his starts in the offensive zone.
I'd respect your opinion a lot more if you stopped trying to avoid the facts.
The difference between a guy who gets 3/8 of his starts in the offensive zone and 4/8 of his starts in the offensive zone shouldn't be 10+ goals like it is right now on our team.
Secondly this whole respect your elders thing you went on for a while is just weird. No, I don't know who you are and I don't care frankly.
Am I supposed to agree with everything you say cause you're one of the posters who's been on the board for a while?
If you're so concerned about hyperbolic posts then why did you do it twice in the same post? Then your examples use a "goal per game scorer" and a .980 save %?
All I really got from your post is that you keep insinuating Bertuzzi has hit this crazy age regression when he had a 12 goal pace last year.
I really don't see how Grant's ceiling is worse than Michalek's floor, especially this season. All he'd have to do is literally not be the worst offensive player in the league and he'd have better production than Michalek.
Any betting man would gamble on that
Not to mention he [Grant] was excellent defensively last year when he came up.
Seriously nothing you've said made sense, you just used a bunch of capitalization and italics to stress certain points that were complete conjecture.
Facts are facts, Milo is terrible and overpaid there's just simply no argument that can be made against that.
Matt Belesky is apparently a 'healthy' scratch tonight...
Pending UFA, leading Anaheim in goals scored... riding Getzlaf/Perry's coattails mainly but I believe from games I remember watching, he is the garbage collector in front of the net.
Well... Murray wants a Top6 forward and Matt Beleskey who leads the ducks with 17Goals is apparently a healthy scratch tonight....
Gotta think Paul or Lazar would have to be going the other way

I'm keeping Paul over Lazar but I'm not as high on Lazar as most on here. I think Paul has much more offensive upside than Lazar at the NHL level
What, we are going to get screwed again?Can't say I know a ton about Belesky but I'd be very wary of trading for a guy who's most common centres this year have been Kesler and Getzlaf... That's how we ended up with Conacher.
Gotta also think lazar is much more valued around the league
Duuude. Hockey's future syndrome. See a guy play half a season in the NHL. And say you like a kid who you've probably rarely seen play in junior more. C'mon man.
The hype paul is getting from some of this fanbase is reaching comical levels.
I think both are likely to become decent NHLers at best
I just think Lazar has less offensive upside
I think the real issue is how people on here think Lazar is the next big thing, not that I think both Lazar and Paul are "ok" prospects at best
I don't why some of you people are getting so offended that I think Paul has more offensive upside based on what I saw
What are you basing this on exactly?
Based on what I saw
Like I said
I'm no scout, I'm not an expert, I'm not claiming Lazar will bust and that Paul is a surebet
I said I think that Paul has more offensive upside than Lazar based on what I saw (and I watched a lot of Lazar's Cup run with the Oil Kings)
I could be wrong, no skin of my back
