@JFreshHockey Great value for a 70 point Center and that contact expires at age 34. Gonna have to be a haul to get him? Or does the NTC bring the cost down? Too many teams need a top Center
@Mayor_Mojo@NHL_Muse Most likely. But if you are a GM, is your goal to draft the player with the most points? Or the player who in this scenario wins 2 Stanley Cups and a Conn Smythe
Let this playoffs be a lesson to GMs across the NHL. Being cut throat like Vegas works. Make the big trade. Fuck the picks. Prospects? Who needs em. Go for it right now.
@Palla003@NHL_Muse In the scenario where Eichel wins his second and gets the Conn Smythe, it should be close to a 50/50 decision on who to redraft. GM’s want to win the Cup. Not just have a best point producing player.
@Mayor_Mojo@NHL_Muse Think that’s funny? Try this one. McDavids point totals would be significantly less if he hadn’t played with Leon Draisaitl all these years. A player who is better than anyone Eichel ever played with.
@GSP__16@NHL_Muse Too simple of an answer. It doesn’t solidify the yes. But it does add doubt to McDavid going #1 if Eichel wins the Cup and the Conn Smythe
@RingoIsland5@NHL_Muse Correct answer. But it if it happens, the discussion needs to follow. McDavid and Leon Draisaitl cannot keep making excuses. They are too good and not winning a Cup is letting the doubt creep in on who I would take in redraft
@jpv4real@CFCNole@NHL_Muse And Buffalo ranks where? They just made the playoffs after 14 seasons. Eichel and Vegas recency bias is erasing some slum level organization years ie Buffalo
