Predators Hockey Discussion II

[Viqsi]

I think Trenin+ will be traded for a top 6. Statistically, McCarron is getting similar stats to Trenin for quiet possibly 1/3rd the price. Financially, I can see it...but penny wise, pound foolish.

I'd be concerned about whether or not McCarron can have the same chemistry with Sissons and Jeannot that Trenin has.

Besides, there's better options for getting another top-6 forward. :cough:cough:nyquist:cough:

 

[BigFatCat999]

I actually rate Trenin more than Jeannot over the long haul (cue gasp) so think this would be a mistake.

I just want to see the arb award.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

I just want to see the arb award.

I can't imagine it will be more than what Sissons makes. He scored twice as many goals, but still had less points than Sizzler, and the latter plays more minutes in a tougher position. ~$2-$2.5M x 4 and it never makes it to the arbitrator.

Or, say no, cap strap yall and offer sheet Laine.

 

[BigFatCat999]

Ah memories

 

[Viqsi]

Honestly, that depends on the offer sheet. At most rates that would work for the Preds, the Jackets will match and say "thanks".

This makes sense. Trade one of your two best forwards from last year's playoffs.

You got to suffer to get what you want.

Generally speaking the goal is to add to the good players, not end up with the same number of good players

Unless he's in a package for Tkachuk, it's not worth the slight improvement.

I mean, I guess points per game are similar mainly because McCarron didn't play as much but watching the game, Trenin is a legit NHL player, I'm not sure McCarron is.

 

[predwings]

Trenin>McCarron by far, speed, skating, puck handling/moving. He's definitely better on tape and proven himself in the league last year. I don't see him being traded away. I think we just stand pat and let the dice roll the rest of the off-season.

Trenin is a true middle six forward ... 2nd or 3rd line is a question still. McCarron is an adequate 4th liner who fills that role well but hasn't shown anything to indicate he'll be challenging for 2nd line minutes and scoring.

Trenin and McCarron have almost the same G/60 and McCarron has a higher P/60 5v5 last season. Trenin is pretty obviously the better player than McCarron but it’s kind of funny you just ignore the stats you’ve been beating us over the head with about Kunin all of a sudden.

 

[triggrman]

That’s why g/60 isn’t reliable

I didn't just use g/60 ... I used in in conjunction with other details. It isn't funny that you omit that but only taking part of what I said then arguing against it is exactly what I expect here. Now what has McCarron done to indicate he'll be competing for 2nd line minutes? When you have to concede it is absolutely nothing, then be an adult and offer your mea culpa.

As for Kunin's stats, I didn't say we needed Kunin. I said we needed to replace his output. A key difference that it seems you chose to ignore.

I have plenty of pine straw in my back yard if you need more for your straw man arguments. Feel free to come rake it up and take it away. I'll look forward to seeing it fill your posts.

I don't have time to respond to your illogical retorts.

 

[LCPreds]

I’m having Secret of Monkey Island flashbacks. If you played it you know…

 

[FFWRX]

I just got a notification that we signed Niederreiter.

Same. Maybe that puts the Tkachuk discussion to bed… I just wish we had more time to debate it.

 

[Mass]

Speaking of goals looks like we signed niederreiter. Always thought he was a douche, but at least he’ll be a douche and score goals for Nashville now

IF you don't have time to respond to illogical retorts AND you had the time to respond to me THEN the options are you lied or my retort wasn't illogical. Funny how logic actually works and counters your diatribe.

Thanks for the lunch time laugh.
