Is there a record on the season for most Rumors/Trade Proposals/TDL threads in a season? Actually a somewhat serious question 
I remember last year we got over 10. This is number 12.

I see some mention that Palmieri doesn’t move the needle much and I disagree.
Your top 9 goes from:
Marchand — Bergeron— Smith
Ritchie — Krejci — Pastrnak
DeBrusk — Coyle — Senyshyn/Bjork
To something like this:
Marchand — Bergeron — Palmieri
Ritchie — Krejci — Pastrnak
DeBrusk — Coyle — Smith
3LRW of Smith >>> 3LRW of Senyshyn/Bjork
You just added a guy who is going to score goals, is a top 6 winger and helps serious upgrade your winger depth a lot. That point shouldn’t be ignored. An addition of Palmieri makes the whole roster deeper.

If Sakic is vastly overrated I can’t imagine how badly you must think Sweeney sucks.

unless it's the neverending Arizona mega thread that drew everybody in until it finally collapsed, this should be the final one preceding the deadline, anywayI hope its soon.

The Lucic pick was an interesting one. Bradley was diagnosed with cancer and had surgery, which kept him home in Vancouver. He got to watch Lucic, who played for the Giants, for the better part of the season and fell in love with him. I’ve read that Bradley tried to convince Gorton to take him at 37.

@Montecristo in the last thread you said Palmieri giving you 13 ES goals wasn't a big deal...you realize that's actually really solid even strength production, right?
since 15/16 he's the 12th ranked RW in the NHL in 5v5 goals. That's infinitely better than anything we've had in our top 6 outside of the big 4 in the last 5 years.

Where as with Sweeney we are still looking for that (even) single top6 F addition and are completely depended at C on 35y old and 34y old.
6 years strong.[/QUOTE]
It’s not that simple. It’s not apples to apples. I get your argument, but both teams were in different positions.

Palmieri has more ES goals since 2015 (and more goals per 60 minutes) than Blake Wheeler, TJ Oshie & Reilly Smith (as just a few high end RW examples):

It's nonsense to say he's just an "average" RW. He has consistently been one of the best RWs in the NHL for the last 5+ years. This year has been a down year for him...question is whether it's the start of a decline or just an off year. He has been remarkably consistent and his shooting % is down this year. Given that he's barely 30 I doubt he is suddenly in decline. He'd absolutely help this team and be a huge step up over what we have.

Taylor Hall is a cancer in the locker room. We do not need Taylor Hall here at all.

I always thought of Kulikov as the NHL GM's didn't-get-an-empty-chair-before-the-music-stopped. If you start your offseason slowly, you inevitably get linked to Kulikov. If you completely bollocks things, you wind up signing him.

Hall has fewer goals and way fewer goals per 60 since 2015 than Palmieri. Goals aren't the only stat that matters, but for this team bringing in more goals is absolutely our priority. Hall is actually not better than Palmieri and definitely not the current version of Hall.
also assuming we keep Debrusk, adding a RW > adding a LW
