Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCVIII: Orange is the new Orange (Poll in OP)

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Hey Danny, the market is being set without you, dummy.

Ooopsies

There should be more league wide trades. Fire all the GMs.

 

[GKJ]

No one wants Blake Wheeler even at 50%?

Sharangovich traded to Calgary for Toffoli, so there goes that

Calgary probably wants him locked up for the rest of the decade now

 

[JojoTheWhale]

In another thread, I said you can quibble with the price. That was before I saw the price. What on earth is Calgary doing?

A sixteen game slate where I’ll be asleep by the time the Flyers start.

Toffoli’s a noticeably better player than Sharangovich. Sharangovich is younger but it’s not like he’s young to the point he’s cheaper labor. He’s 25 & has arbitration rights this summer. So he’s probably gonna price himself out in the long run there anyway. NJ is a legit cup contender so getting the clear upgrade at a modest caphit even if it’s just for next year is worth it to them.

Sharangovich went from a non-prospect to an NHL trade piece. Good for Jersey.

So who was the lone delusional Boston writer didn't vote McDavid as MVP

Wow, the NHL finally learned how to stagger games. Why it's necessary to do it with a 16 game slate, who the f*** knows

It’s schtick. Neither McDavid nor Matthews was top 5 last year. The same ballot this year featured highlights such as Sergachev in the Norris top 5 and Bergeron 4th for the Selke.

It was Seth Rorabaugh who is a Pittsburgh writer. He does it every year.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

This felt like a pretty straight forward award season this year. Not a whole lot of heated debate. I guess the Norris generated the most but Karlsson still ultimately won comfortably.

Here’s where this guy voted all the winners (performance based ones):

Hart - McDavid (5th)
Norris - Karlsson (N/A)
Calder - Beniers (2nd)
Selke - Bergeron (4th)

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

This guy is like the Grant McCagg of award voters. He absolutely hates the consensus.

He's an even bigger tool than Hayes and 36 years old.

Honestly how's this guy still allowed to vote

1 year?

Pretty sure that logo on the side isn’t the old jade logo but I could be wrong.

I’m wrong because it’s definitely not silver.

Toffoli. 73 points, 24-24 48 at ES.
Now that's probably a fluke year, but he's at worst a top 3rd line forward. At best he's taken a step up to 2nd line status.

Sharangovich is a pretty solid 3C, probably worth at least a 3rd on his own.
So call it (2) 3rds for 1 year of Toffoli at $4.25M.
