Proposal: Barzal - James van Riemsdyk

[SI90]

Wait what????

If they believe he's an elite player, that means a sure-fire #1 center, can't miss kind of player.

At least a #2 center? That makes zero sense.

Gotta pick a story and stick to it here, because you're saying two different things that contradict each other.

He's saying ceiling is elite, floor is 2nd line center. They believe he can be a an elite player, but at the very least a 2C.

He was referring to Ladd, although that isn't 100% true as Ladd has been "held" to 46 pts twice, only once was it in the 48 game lockout year.

Ah, my mistake

Already have Nylander who is better than Barzal.

Good. That settles it. We keep our guy, you keep yours. Take care now.

No, it's called stop throwing around the term elite.

Talents with "Elite" potential are prospects like Crosby, Ovechkin, Malkin, Stamkos, McDavid, Eichel, Matthews.

Players that generally go in the top-3 of a draft, usually #1 or #2.

Stop throwing around terms like elite loosely.

Islanders laugh at this. Barzal will be a 1C before its over. The Leafs should have traded JVR 2 years ago. His value continues to drop.

How has JVR value dropped??? JVR isn't a player I want to see traded. He's too valuable

I can't believe that I am actually saying this but Toronto looks to be set at center...Barzal is not a fit in TO.
