GDT: Around the League - 2021/22 PART IV

[Stringer Bell]

34 points in 31 games for Mason Marchment.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

What a dominant game by Durzi tonight. He's poster boy for standing pat at the deadline unless it's young player with term.

May be a year that it is actually fine for us. Other than Andrei Kuzmenko, I am not really sure there are any Russians who can really contribute here next year anyways. I had a few others who were on my radar, but I think the Leafs have enough prospect depth to worry about right now as it is.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

The Kings are a pesky team. Not super talented at any position, but Todd McLellan has them playing a solid system. If they can add a scorer at the deadline, they'll be a tough out in the playoffs.

Also, I've always liked Trevor Moore so I'm glad he is having success over there.

 

[Maplebeasts]

34 points in 31 games for Mason Marchment.

While getting roughly twice the puck-luck offensively compared to the league's average in terms of individual and on-ice shooting percentage. This offensive breakout into a ppg+ player is fool's gold. He's more of a 45-50 point player.

hrudey says "i cant think of anyone in the league with a better shot"

Win win trade for both teams.

Which is still a good middle/top 6 NHLer

 

[Menzinger]

Eh he got turned into a guy with term who then re-signed with the team. I'm fine most cases if the team makes a trade like that

 

[Antropovsky]

Dubas.... this is sad:

Out:
C.Brown 30 in 41 - 3.6 million
Moore 33 in 58 - 1.8 million
Johnsson 28 in 52 - $3.4 million
Kadri 72 in 54 - 4.5 million
Marchment 34 in 31 - $800,000
Durzi 16 in 40 - $800,000
Hyman 37 in 50 - 5.5 million
Jarvis 20 in 45 - $925000
Andersen .928 - 27 wins - 4.5 million
Barabanov 27 in 48 - 1 million
----‐--------------------------------------------
27 millionish

In:
Muzzin
Campbell
Kerfoot
Anderson


Not complaining about the Muzzin trade or the Johnsson trade but the other trades Dubas has made have not ended well and he's let assets walk for nothing... and we haven't even gotten one series win for it.

And now he's going into a first round where he likely will face a team more difficult than the two he faced in the last two playoffs.

I'm curious to see the moves he makes, because you have to think this is a desperation year.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

What was Nurse doing on the 3rd Calgary goal? Just an awful turnover that sealed their fate

Those guys weren't going to get the opportunity to put up points here. Also lol at putting Jarvis here. The only reason we traded that pick was because Lou gave Marleau a third year of term at 6+ million.

 

[The Podium]

What a dominant game by Durzi tonight. He's poster boy for standing pat at the deadline unless it's young player with term.

Durzi would be eaten alive here… significantly worse defensively than Sandin and Liljegren with comparable offense. In fact, Durzi has been one of the worst defenseman defensively in the entire league while playing a depth role.

This is pure grass is always greener syndrome.

Some of you make it hard to cheer for ex Leafs to do well

Fans like you want to complain about Durzi, but don’t actually want a D like Durzi. If you are going to complain, at least do it right.

This guy was available at the Amirov pick and is looking great right now. Admittedly I was against drafting him at the time but he is making me eat crow.

 

[The Podium]

Dubas.... this is sad:

Out:
C.Brown 30 in 41 - 3.6 million
- Traded to dump Zaitsev in a big cap dump move, a necessary evil and still a win for Dubas

Moore 33 in 58 - 1.8 million
- Traded for Campbell, which was looking like a win until recently. Admittedly I like Moore and wish he was still here.

Johnsson 28 in 52 - $3.4 million
- 18 points in 20 games to start the season, 10 points in his last 32. Nothing special and good to get out of that contract.

Kadri 72 in 54 - 4.5 million
- 3 years after the fact as a pending UFA who more recently had his 3rd playoff suspension costing his team a series.

Marchment 34 in 31 - $800,000
- What was looking like a career minor leaguer to 99% of people made it 3 years after a nothing trade, during a season with unsustainable production. Good for Marchment, would’ve liked him here but hard to blame Dubas on a long shot late bloomer.

Durzi 16 in 40 - $800,000
- one of the worst defenseman defensively in the league, wouldn’t get an opportunity here over Sandin or Lilly, who are already being torn apart by this fan base despite being significantly better

Hyman 37 in 50 - 5.5 million
- Replaced by Bunting who is better and makes 1/6th the cap

Jarvis 20 in 45 - $925000
- Traded for a huge cap dump that tied his hands and demanded to be bought out of 6 mill. Dubas recouped the pick for Kapanen who is currently being run out of Pittsburgh.

Andersen .928 - 27 wins - 4.5 million
- Unfortunately Andersen couldn’t get it done here, we had to move on

Barabanov 27 in 48 - 1 million
- Goodwill deal that allows Dubas to sign these hidden gems knowing that if the don’t get their shot here, he’ll give them one somewhere else. The return on this deal is the cheap UFAs who sign here.

Imagine the mental gymnastics required, to actually believe that the above is sad? Completely lacking understanding, or context of the team? Marchment is the only loss there... that's it. Jeez.

That's not entirely true. The only reason he gave the pick was because he put himself in a cap bind and was forced to move the contract. He had a choice and made it, he wasn't forced by anything but his cap management.

 

[Zybalto]

That's not entirely true. The only reason he gave the pick was because he put himself in a cap bind and was forced to move the contract. He had a choice and made it, he wasn't forced by anything but his cap management.

You know you gotta expand on how he mismanaged the cap his first year for context. Marleau was essentially done as a player with a 6 million dollar cap hit and had to be rid of.

 

[kb]

As usual, understanding the cap and the trade value of unsigned RFA's is not a strong suit here.

 

[ACC1224]

All I'm saying is he had choices and he made one. That's his job and he isn't going to get them all correct.
Saying he had no choice is incorrect.

Lmao wtf I'm just saying it's nice to see our draft pick doing well on another team. Makes me feel okay if we believe in whose left and make no deals. You guys need to chill.

 

[Fogelhund]

Too bad he got away.. really could have afforded this...

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Eh he got turned into a guy with term who then re-signed with the team. I'm fine most cases if the team makes a trade like that

Well we got a lot of years out of Muzzin and the concussion issues couldn't have been predicted so I guess he still fits the "with term" even though doesn't qualify for the young part. I'd let go of a top prospect if we got Lindholm and re-signed him so I'm flexible on young part priority on term depending on the player.

 

[The Podium]

Too bad he got away.. really could have afforded this...

That’s pretty rich. I guess it’s ok for Seattle, but I don’t think that contract looks good in the long run.

 

[rdogg]

That Darnell Nurse contract in Edmonton is already looking pretty bad. And his 8 year 9.25m cap hit doesn't kick in till next year
