Miscellaneous NHL Talk XXXVIII

[FlyingPhilly]

Even as a leafs fan I understand if philly passes. Some of those proposals (not mine) were a little wacky

Couts by himself is worth more than Matthews imo

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Couts by himself is worth more than Matthews imo

Considering their respective contracts 100% yes.

passes is an understatement. I don't want AMs 11m contract. He's not a consistent enough impact player.

 

[achdumeingute]

Lol yes..this is gonna be the end of us...

Not the rich and corporations destroying the planet and siphoning all of the wealth out of the middle class since the 80s and turning the country into an Oligarchy....nope...its social media cancel culture that will REALLY end us all!!!

aside from the planet destruction stuff...the rich have always gotten over on "peasants". This is history 101.

Broooo... Couts turns 27 tomorrow and hasnt had a ppg season. He is great defensively but to say that is kinda crazy. I know im on philly's board but come on

He had 40 goals as a rookie and would have hit 40 goals the last 2 years as well if not injured, as well as ppg. Pretty consistent 40 goal ppg guy when healthy all year

I would take a 76 point C signed for 4.33 million for 3 years that also delivers Selke defense vs a 86 point C who is poor defensively and signed for 11.6 million for 5 years.

Matthews impacts the game when he scores or gets points. Couturier impacts the game whoever has the puck.

I like Couts alot but to say you'd take him straight up over him is bias. He is also 5 years older

 

[Striiker]

Deja vu

What year is it?

Age won't matter when Matthews is going to leave after his contract...or you have to bribe him 14 million to stay.

You just don't understand the concept of a good deal. For the next 3 years, we will pay Couts and Konecny almost 2 million less than Matthews. Couts deal is too fantastic to trade.

As I said before, Matthews impacts the game when he produces. Couts can impact it every shift points or not.

In 3-5 years after the expansion and TV deal the cap will have risen a lot. In 5 years I wont be surprised to see a Matthews level player get 14 mil. Also Couts will get get more than double his current deal in 3 years as that is after the TV deal/expansion

 

[prototypical4thliner]

Soooooo. Anybody see joe Thornton jaw Mrázek? Or was that in the previous thread...

You missed the point. And he isn’t alone on this board with the same view point. From the flyers perspective Couts is worth more at his cost then we’d get from Mathews

Double his deal...and he is still 3 million cheaper than Matthews for 2 years....then 5-6 million cheaper afterwards.

We are cool with our 70+ point C who provides Selke defense. Off to the main boards you go.

I understand philly preferring to keep their guy. every team likes their own guys. But to say he is more valuable is just incorrect

I dont blame you for wanting to keep your guy. But to say he is more valuable is just wrong. He is also 5 years older and 2 years less term

 

[Tripod]

Couts gets paid roughly $57, 000 for each point he gets. Matthews gets paid $135,000

The value is too good....then add in the way better defense, the PKing and the superior effort of Couts.

And yet in that thread, someone wanted Couts AND Konecny...who is on pace for 70+ points himself.

Coots is better and more valuable. bye.

 

[deadhead]

Couts is more valuable b/c he makes everyone who plays with him better, and does everything, top FO guy, top PK guy, solid PP guy and shutdown defensive center.
Oh yeah, and he'll get you 40-50 ES points as well.

Guys like Matthews and JT put up points, but don't necessarily contribute to winning.

 

[TheLegendkiller]

social media and the age of "instantly guilty" is going to be the end of the world....

godam blight, the whole thing...

Reactionary thread is reactionary. Who are these angry old men?
