Doughty is much more effective in the Playoffs than Pan. This makes him much more valuable to a team trying to win playoff games.
Zib has a thread dedicated to his slowdown. It's just the NYR roster thread in the NYR section. Zib gets maybe half that contract before he's in serious decline.
Doughty more likely to be effective longer due to position & play style. PL is much younger making it more likely to get to the end of his contract before serious decline.
Either way, if there is a gap, it isn't large enough to add Byfield. Looking at a depth pick.
disagree, more risk on players coming to Rs than other way
also Zib is less decline than temporary funk
play has picked up
it is less a discussion bout Zib in decline and more of a search to answer
why is it sometimes Kreider + zib click, other times no chemistry?
Do they need
a RW who clicks?
a pivot and move RS Zib to RW?
to repurpose Zib in a deal?
Answer: what is most productive long term?
Shesty back in Vez form
happy to think long term
no Zib to LA, DD to NY
Shesty + Zib to Leafs
for
Nylander + Liljigren
Rs then flip Nyl + Lil for Sanderson +
----------
bread + cap dump Leshitshow
for
PLD + Roy + Byfield [again, non freakin negotiable]
hurts Kings as to long term pivot depth
but immediate help first line W
STRUCTURAL cap relief [long term dump pld for 2 extra seasons of AP]
in any event ZERO reason even think about this much risk and cost w'o Byfield
You're the one proposing the deal. What would looking in the mirror do? I'm a fan of neither team.
I'm the one proposing, YOU'RE the one with an unsubstantiated comment.
If you want to critique, that is fine
BACK IT UP W/OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS
if you can't, or won't
stuff it
