Guentzel - Aho - Jarvis

[jonlin]

This line has been on fire. Guentzel was traded to Carolina 8.3, played his first game as a Cane 12.3 and since the trade the guys stats are through the roof:

Guentzel 11gp 2g 14a 16p +13

Aho 12gp 9g 11a 20p +15

Jarvis 12gp 10g 4a 14p +14

Great trade for them. They'd been struggling to put together a strong top line ever since Teravainen-Aho-Svechnikov fell apart.

12.11.10.9.8 and Carolina is out of the playoffs again

Jake is great and it’s hard to believe Jarvis just turned 22 but the biggest takeaway for me is that Aho continues to be the most underrated superstar in the league.

People love to debate Rantanen or Barkov as the top Finnish forward. I think I may take Aho over both of them.

They've clinched a spot already.

Most finnish people would take Aho over Rantanen and Barkov as well. Rantanen is really only popular amongst us Swedes. It's no coincidence that you don't see finnish posters make any threads about Rantanen getting his 2nd 100 point season. They know he's getting carried by MacKinnon and Makar. Not even @Murzu who's the biggest Mikko Rantanen fan on this site would argue that he's better than Aho!

Jarvis is a gem already. Wanted him that year in the 2020 draft but Lundell has been developing well in the 2 way game.

 

[AvroArrow]

Dubas gave Carolina the pick to draft Jarvis to dump the horrible Marleau signing. Then Dubas gave them Guentzel for peanuts. If the Hurricanes win it all they better give that man a ring.

 

[Unsustainable]

I think they are pace for 369 points over an 82 game season...

It's no surprise Guentzel meshes with Aho. Sebastian is similar to Crosby in his competitiveness and the way he can compete against bigger players, solid IQ. Obviously Aho isn't the superstar offensively that Sid was, but he puts up similar numbers to old Sid and has the motor and skating of a younger player. Jarvis is good in tight spaces and competes for a smaller player too so it's a good fit.

Obviously, average of 5'11"/177 lbs isn't exactly ideal for playoff hockey, but then again, probably doesn't matter as much as it used to. Maybe some of the Western teams could probably exploit it more than the East.

One problem we got Jake to Score goals and sure he's done it twice but he better get off the apple train and get some G's..

Excellent acquisition by Carolina. Their management team is elite.

Glad Jake has been great for you guys. Pretty sure Jake has been the most productive TD player followed by Bunting 2nd?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Glad to see Jake excelling away from the putrid flaming dumpster dogshit fire that is Pittsburgh…

 

[robbieberns]

Funny thing about this run is that Jake has been quite unlucky from finishing standpoint, has hit multiple posts and could/should easily have another 3-4 goals during this stretch.

 

[OilWagon]

Honestly baffled no one was willing to give up more for Guentzal. Canes finally traded for a game breaker at the deadline, they have been way too passive the last few years.

Jake's also one of those players who produces in the playoffs. He's not just a regular season compiler.

Good thing you barely post, using the ignore feature on you won't matter to anything meaningful.

Back to the topic at hand. Those are pretty impressive numbers. No wonder why they have been winning so much during this last stretch of the season.

He's made it pretty clear that he fully intends to test the market, and teams have really cooled on trading big assets for pure rentals with no real chance to re-sign. As they should have, it's always been a sucker's game. Even then, the Pens got a lot of very serious prospects in that deal.

But it is really damn fun to watch.

I would take playoff Rantanen over Aho easily. Don't get me wrong, I like both of them, but IMO Aho is just a tad too bit small to be a menace in the playoffs.

May seem that way on the surface, but their philosophy is geared more towards making roster moves in the offseason (and getting a full season for the new players, as well as time to gel) rather than at the TD when prices are higher. And they were very aggressive in their pursuit of Meier at the TD last year.

I believe that a contributing factor to the Canes management team being elite is that they recognize when a deal goes past the point of making sense and they don't try to force something that just isn't there.

canes lookin really scary offensively and defensively

Not to mention Fredzilla being a wall
