Where are they making this claim?
Because Tlusty has scored more goals than Paradise has points while playing in the AHL, and having played 12 more games.
It's in the Faulk to Toronto thread.

Trade 1 w/ Calgary: Ryan Murphy for Mark Giordano
It's gonna be Murphy moved too when/if it happens. I was okay with dealing him before the call-up but I'm a little more hesitant now. I'll have to file this under wait and see at this point.
Sort of scared of these rumours of JR going after a big name defenseman
We're going to end up paying a king's ransom for a serviceable defenseman at the deadline, let alone a Yandle or a Byfuglien
I will never say never, but it isn't very often that a top prospect+ goes in a deadline deal. It's usually a combination of picks and some young players and/or lesser prospects.
Look even at the Kovy trade. A late 1st round pick, Patrice Cormier (Mid-tier prospect who was a 2nd round pick), Bergfors (a decent, but inconsistent young player drafted 5 years earlier), and Odoya (a 4/5 defensemen in his mid-late 20s at the time).
It wouldn't surprise me to see JR part with pick's and prospects/young players (Dalpe, Bowman, even Rask, etc...) for a rental, but I'll be a bit surprised if Murphy is involved...unless it's a real top end guy with some time left on his contract coming back.
Not to mention that there are $6M+ in collective salary increases next season for players under contract.If we're resigning Semin, money is not going to be plentiful in our future. So any long term 5m+ defensemen is a longshot.

And the cap is going down to 60 million.
I thought it was 64?
You're correct; I thought it was already at 64, and was going down 4.
And the cap is going down to 60 million.
So that's 7.5M leftover without Semin signed? Doesn't that kind of emphasize the point? How do Semin and Giordano fit into $7.5M?$64.3M
We have $12.5M for next year to resign or replace: Semin, Larose, Nash (RFA), Brent, Corvo, Sanguinetti, and Ellis.
Larose we can probably let walk, he's played nowhere near his contract this year, when he hasn't been hurt. The way he's been playing, just giving his 3rd/4th line winger slot to someone like Terry or Bowman is fine.
Nash hasn't really put up the numbers to justify a huge bump in his 2nd deal
Brent is what he is, shouldn't be too expensive
Corvo, knock on wood, I wouldn't mind signing up for another year at $2m, or maybe 2yr at $1.5
Sanguinetti is probably due about $1m, maybe a hair more depending on if he keeps his current good play up or not. We could let him walk and just slot Murphy in there. In fact, I feel like Murphy is going to pretty much force us to play him next year based on his callup, so we probably resign one of Corvo/Sangs but not both.
Ellis is another toughy. If he'll take a two-way deal at around his current number that's fine, but honestly Petedawg has looked good too. It's actually a nice problem to have - two competent backups instead of zero.
So, adding up the guys besides Semin, and just cutting Larose, that brings us up to around $4.5m to resign those other guys, leaving $7.5 to play for. If we let Corvo walk that really opens things up.
I'm not worried. Plus, there's always the option of buying out, say, Ruutu, which would free up another $4.75.
All that hoopla over an 8.5 C ranking? If that translates to HOF, then Dougie Hamilton will be a first ballot HOFer with his 9.0 C.Just decided to read all 9 pages of that 'Justin Faulk to Toronto' thread. Why did I just do that?
Morgan Rielly = Hall of Fame potential is officially the funniest thing I've ever read on this site.
