xzzy posted:Yes it's Gretzky's fault he wasn't born 20 years later, what a dickhead. We should take away all his records for picking on the poor quality NHL players of the 80's and 90's. I think we can admit that Gretzky's numbers are era inflated while still acknowledging that he was a beast. If he started playing in 1996 he wouldn't end his career with 2800+ points, but he'd probably have at least like 2300 which would still end up being 500+ more than any player who didn't play for 25 years

Schlesische posted:Flipside: They're fans of a team that has been garbage for the overwhelming majority of the last 50 years, not just 25 of them. A team that has had no hope for over a decade until this season, and what hope they do have comes with major strings attached. I think in pretty sure paragraph A almost immediately nullifies paragraph B. "Enjoy the ride" seems to be dangerously close to turning pretty quickly into "how can we a win a cup with Matt Martin " Maybe Ben Smith plays because this team actually isn't All That Good Yet and all of the best players are under 21, so they're just filling in the gaps with whatever bullshit is lying around because this season effectively doesn't really matter yet even though they have a shot at the playoffs? Do you mean to tell me that it only took 5 months for "I'm just happy that we've got a glimmer of hope" to turn into "gotta dig my shrunken heads from the closet and start dancing around the fire to exorcise the '67 demons" A Red Wings team with Chris Chelios, Brett Lebda, Andreas Lilja, Darren McCarty, and Dallas Drake getting regular minutes managed to win a Presidents Trophy and a Stanley Cup before Ken Holland steered this bitch into the iceberg and Nearer My God to Thee started blaring so it's really not impossible to become a champion with a great coach, a senile egomaniac in the front office, and a few lovely players on the roster. Why don't we worry about that when we get there, eh?

It's hard to be excited about this knowing that Ken could've gotten at least the same return, if not more, for Pulkkinen However MORE MORE SELL MORE

Athanasiou probably maxes out as a 3rd liner 35-45 point player who looks good in small sample size so you can totally have him for a good return before Holland signs him to a 5 year 20 million extension tia

If Hanzal gets that kind of return, Ken needs to trade Vanek immediately But he won't because he is bad Fire Holland

I think I figured it out. They picked up Smith to guarantee that they won't be good enough to climb into the 3rd seed in the division.
