Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCII: A buyer's or seller's market?

[Rebels57]

Reality is JVR should fetch a 2nd. If Minny wants to send back Greenway, then hr should be treated like a dump and a 1st come back instead of a 2nd.

Instead, it will be Greenway+3rd or4th because Fletch thinks he has value.

3rd liner + 4th is the exact return I predicted a few weeks back. Simmonds trade all over again.

Was a pretty decent prospect, didn’t really do a whole lot with St. Louis but getting an opportunity in Detroit looks like he’s a pretty underrated mid-pair guy.

Hartman came back down to Earth this season. 22 points in 38 games, after going crazy with 65 in 82 last year.

 

[deadhead]

Greenway is a good bet to rebound, worth picking up but not giving anything of value.

 

[chadateit]

Connor scores 275 points a season in 1844 when goalies didn't know they could bend their knees and when the average hockey player was worse than today's worst AHLers

And Lindros scores 275 a season in this league where players can't hug, hook, and wrestle him the whole way up the ice. Comparing eras is stupid.

50 goals for McDavid

He can hockey ok I guess

 

[Curufinwe]

And the Oilers could still miss the playoffs. Crazy.

Why would it be worth anything to pick him up? He's not a longterm solution to anything. Best and worse case scenario is another Scott Laughton situation where they like him enough to keep him and try to make him a core piece. No way they try to build up his value and try to flip him. That's not how this management group operates.

Au contraire. Look how well Chuck handled the Ryan Hartman scenario!

We can be so lucky, right @Captain Dave Poulin?

The only way we should be getting back Greenway in a JVR to Minnesota trade is if it is treated as a cap dump and we get more/better picks. And if Greenway does come here you are hoping he rebounds on his up/down alternating seasons next year and you can flip him to a contender at the deadline.

 

[flyerslducks]

Jesus that’s awful.

Can he rebound somewhere else? I mean why here? Dont we have enough?

 

[Curufinwe]

I really hate that the Ducks official hashtag is #FlyTogether. On twitter it looks like it's going to be something Flyers related.

I agree. I am just saying that if he does come here it should be because it got us the best pick(s) possible for JVR. And then we try to flip him next TDL.

I just hope DeAngelo, JVR and Hayes are traded or given away. I do not care about return.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Lower your expectations. JVR is likely our only trade, and from the looks of it, the return will be bad

Ya I’m expecting a 3rd tbh

In 2040

If all that he could net is a 3rd. Might as well just keep him. Giving him away for zilch just shows that the FO can be played. Holding on to him has some merit. He’s not a stiff that should be allowed to be kicked to the curb for nothing. Only an incompetent GM would do that. Then again Fletcher….

That horse left the barn, won the triple crown, and was already put out to stud.

And no, there's absolutely no merit to keeping JVR on the team.

True. But at some point the organization needs to show that it’s not some easy lay.

I have a cousin that lives in Edmonton and he drank the kool aid that is Evander Kane last year when they aquired him . I warned him of the piece of shit that is Evander and they should offer him 3 mil max on a one year contract only .

He assured me that Kane had matured and that he was a great fit in Edmonton and was worth way more .
I asked him yesterday how that was working out for them and then laughed . All he said was "ya"
