@villareale52@JFreshHockey Huge gap between AHL centre and NHL centre. To expect him to be a quality 2C is a little lofty for a guy that has spent less than 15% of his minutes there across his NHL career experience.
Very serviceable winger that can play all over the lineup though.
@WoodsW@SamAMcKee You objectively are. He played every minutes of the group stage in the 2022 World Cup, and scored Canada’s first goal ever in a World Cup game. Stop putting the blame on the player when this is clearly a Bayern issue
@GriffeyVin80461@bs_wizard1@TheHoopHerald Bob Myers has been a frequent guest star of the MIT sports analytics conference and he won 4 rings and 2 exec of the year awards…
@PjLaird924@alexjmoretto@Charlie_hlidek NBA adjusted their CBA to curb these exact scenarios, I’d argue to the detriment of home grown teams but it has effectively stopped the “super team” era
@rankcoaches@JasonGregor I’d recommend watching the highlight package of Raddysh’s goals this season, Kuch wasn’t exactly wiring 60ft sauces across the ice for him
@fuckpedomusk@JeffVeillette The concerns regarding Chayka are valid, but we cant act like he’s not entertaining any trade offers given the fact they just made a move.
And, I’m genuinely perplexed by the notion no other team does this.
STL, NJD, NYR, NSH, VAN are all teams to do this in the last year
@fuckpedomusk@JeffVeillette Front offices have an obligation to squeeze as much value as they can for a player, true.
But I think you’re forgetting, that again, just because he’s “available” doesn’t mean it’s a foregone conclusion that they will be moved.
Most argue he shouldn’t be moved at all.
@fuckpedomusk@JeffVeillette To take reports that come out of other front offices as gospel is incredibly difficult hard to justify. Other front offices want to increase their leverage in any negotiation, but this report more than anything just says “the Leafs aren’t entertaining our bad offer and we’re mad”
@fuckpedomusk@JeffVeillette Listen, I’m not here to say Kyper is my favourite analyst, but he’s been far more correct since the Chayka signing than any of the TSN analysts.
But no matter what, reporting on the Leafs is clearly indicative of a team not leaking anything to the media.
Kyper on Real Kyper & Bourne says the type of conversation they’re having around trading Matthew Knies is possibly a top-pair D, a first-rounder, and a secondary player.
@fuckpedomusk@JeffVeillette There have quite literally been reports of said price.
And, if you’re going to say that those reports don’t hold any validity, then I will simply ask, what has Dreger reported correctly on the Leafs in the last calendar year.
@fuckpedomusk@JeffVeillette Also, you seem to be misreading the quote. Dreger didn’t say the Leafs aren’t answering calls, he simply made the statement that they aren’t entertaining discussions below their stated price.
An incredibly common practice in many walks of life, especially professional sports
@fuckpedomusk@JeffVeillette Let’s simplify it for you since you clearly are unable to make rational thoughts. If I go to Costco to buy $35 worth of Ribeye steaks and offer to pay $20, Costco is not obligated to give me those steaks, even though they are by definition available for purchase.
Not sure if it was his opinion or insider information, but Kyper on Real Kyper & Bourne says he would guess it’s either Woodcroft or Eakins.
He says he can’t see it being Roy.
