ohh its gunna happen

140 pts for the GOAT

Undisputed.

Gretzky level production but he’s playing against real athletes and there’s goalies in the nets now.

 

[BernieParent]

If I was GM, this wouldn't be an issue for the Flyers. Hart would have been the first one out the door as the most valuable trade chip. And neither would drafting 7-10.

Do you really think Hart would ever be the most valuable trading chip, given the seemingly pervasive "goalies are voodoo" mindset?

I think so. His age, insane pedigree, and to this day above average body or work would be coveted considering he is still looking at an RFA contract after next season. It admittedly would be neck and neck with TK. Neck and neck with Neck. But that haul would be enormous. Think of the Oilers. The pressure to with with Lonner McDraisdavl is causing diamonds right now. A young and still relatively cheap great goalie? Multiple firsts

 

[Curufinwe]

I don't. I think a hockey man will overpay for Saint Ivan.

He eats minutes. Eats them!

 

[TCTC]

The Calder race look really weak this year. Pretty much only players no one talks about. Cates is actually 7th in rookie scoring.

It would be talked about more if it were an actual race and if Beniers were on a more important team

Yeah, I guess he's the favorite. Of all the players in the top 5, he's the only one I recognized.

I think it is nice to think about, but realistically a trade like that in modern era is unprecedented. Closest is probably Stepan and Raanta to an unhinged Coyotes organization over 5 years ago. Next closest are probably Kuemper to COL and Georgiev to COL.

 

[VladDrag]

Brady Tkachuk always is at the top of the league in expected goals but not really there in actual goals.

Because expected goals is usually highly based on area of shot, and he is ALWAY shooting from the middle of the ice.

Hart is tiers above both though.

If I was GM, it'd get done. Me or Kimmo

My money would be on Provorov having the most value because NHL GMs are stupid and his reputation/stereotype is exactly their fetish.

Nothing more valuable than a minutes eater in today's NHL!!

No way. Saneheim is a legit top pairing guy locked up for 8 years making what 6.2 per? That is a steal. Surprised Carolina doesn't try to acquire him. Flyers can get a haul.

What is Ivan national reputation?

 

[Curufinwe]

What is Ivan national reputation?

That he comes up Big in OT, or bigot for short.

 

[Magua]

Unclaimed waiver. Cap dump for an AHLer + 7th rounder. Definitely no value to be had there. I’ll take a UFA Brendan Lemieux, thank you.

This league's so dumb. Stuff like this and Ghost never getting his true value even after carrying lifeless teams here and in Arizona.

They should try being bad and make it look like they work harder than everyone because the game is harder for them. Being bad but looking sweaty doing it, that's the right way to play. Being good is lazy.

But GMs are infallible and this is indisputable proof that they’re not good players.

After all, if they were good, why wouldn’t a GM want them fOr FrEe!?

????????????????????????

 

[Beef Invictus]

????????????????????????

Who is in charge of this? Fire them.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]
