Simplex posted:He's a fine player, but I kind of think that if Bjorkstrand is on your top line your team is probably lovely. In terms of even strength production in the last five years he's top 10-20 range for RWs He's not a star but you normally get some blue chips at least for that

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Why are you ignoring the year he was 57-39? Also 59-52 is not barely outscoring. It's 53% which is really good! In all he has 4 seasons at equal or over 50% and 2 below. Because Laine of his first 2 years in the NHL is an utterly different proposition vs Laine of the last 4. Last year Laine received on ice shooting % of 10.24 and a (near as makes no difference) .920 sv% at 5s. Despite that he's 50/50 in goals for. He posted a career worse xG last year. Laine has never been north of 50% xG at 5v5 so idk what numbers you're looking at. If you're arguing he outperforms xG on shooting and then eliminate a season wow GG. Great. What will boost Laine is Gaudreau, but that doesn't mean Laine all of a sudden isn't an exceptionally one dimensional player that is a gigantic drag on his team and if goaltending doesn't continue to prop his numbers up it's going to be ugly.

Been looking at a lot of Matt Tkachuk trade proposals and most of them seem to be looking at the actual value he should get and not what Treliving will get in reality. The idea that the Flames would get something like Kyrou, Neighbours, Tarasenko, and a 1st from the Blues (for example) doesn't seem borne out in any recent high profile trades, especially when the player is tying the hands of the GM.

Laine is the player Kessel was always unjustly accused of being. Dude can really sock them dingers but it is the only thing he gives a poo poo about. Like when a coach talks all he has ever heard is the random trombone noises of Charlie Brown's teacher. Signing him and moving Bjorkstrand is a pretty bad mistake.

Hastily cobbled together lines before I have to leave for my friend's house. Gaudreau-Jenner-Laine Johnson-Roslovic-Voracek Nyquist-Sillinger-Marchenko/Chinakhov Texier-Kuraly-Chinakhov/Robinson Robinson/Danforth Werenski-Boqvist Gavrikov-Blankenburg Bean-Gudbranson Peeke Merzlikins Korpisalo E- Porty on the top line: quote:The thought is that Gaudreau's ability to create space and make plays could bring Laine's game to new heights. He was a point-a-game player last season, including a torrid goal-scoring stretch that harkened back to his early days with Winnipeg.

Yeah I agree with that. I could see it being a trade of Vlad Tarasenko + a decent prospect + a 1st round pick. Calgary fans go ballistic over trading Tkachuk for a dude on the downside of his career. I don't really understand why Dallas or St. Louis would even entertain trades for the likes of Jason Robertson or Jordan Kyrou.. They are already rosters which *should* make the playoffs but swapping out their young star forward for Matthew Tkachuk doesn't exactly elevate either team to the ranks of the top cup contenders.

Personally I would pick the 24 year old who is a reasonable bet for 30-40 goals and still has room to improve - especially now that one of the best playmaking wingers in the league is coming to the team - over the guy who is 3 years older and has had one good season ever.

I never said he was north of 50% at xG I said he was north of it in actual G% in specific seasons. He outperforms his xGF% by a huge margin every season and after however many seasons you need to look at that as a skill not as luck. I'm not even saying he's worth the contract, cause I don't think he is. I'm saying after so many years of a player outperforming his analytics you can't just say his analytics suck so he sucks.

CBJSprague24 posted:Interesting that Laine and PLD both extended on the same day. It does make you wonder if maybe he just wants to play in a market that isn't Winnipeg. Or maybe he just really isn't enjoying the style of hockey he's been playing the last few years and this is him exercising his right to not sign a long contract where he ends up stuck in a city he probably doesn't want to be in. He's not a terrible hockey player, but CBJ wasn't exactly a contender while he was there, and Winnipeg isn't either. I'd doubt that they make the playoffs unless Hellebuyck can drag them into a wild card spot in a 5/3 Central/Pacific playoff team split again.

Dubois gives me Ryan Johansen vibes. Not that they are the same player. But just guys who may be a touch overrated because they were drafted high, showed promise in their youth, but ultimately never become that certified number one center. There's still time for Dubois, though. Maybe it's also because they were drafted by Columbus.

Calgary fans go ballistic over trading Tkachuk for a dude on the downside of his career. I don’t think the Blues should trade Kyrou for Tkachuk in any form. But the Blues are gonna do it because the fans here are crazy stupid and it would be beyond popular to trade for Tkachuk. Like, the stupid hype here over the possibility the Blues trade for him is just annoying. Yeah, he’s a good player, but the potential for overpay is super high. All because “OMG his royalty hockey family lives here.” I have thought about it, and I do agree he would pair super well with Robert Thomas. Dare I say….Supernatural. But yeah, it’s gonna be an overpay.

If Tkachuk really wants to come to the Blues he'll just sign with them next summer. There's no reason for St Louis to break the bank for him now.

Well, this could be a good point if he was staying on calgary this year. But wherever he goes to he is signing a 8 year contract so he won’t be available to sign. Which, again I am not saying they should trade for him.
