It's a great haul but Kucherov? Lightning fan?Love the deal for Thunder, that's a great haul.
I mean, it's nice to hold players on your favourite team, but it's all about the championship. Kuch wasn't gonna help him win this year so out he goes. I think Markett vastly overpaid though, which made this deal a no brainer for Thunder.It's a great haul but Kucherov? Lightning fan?
Vastly overpaid? What am I missing here?I mean, it's nice to hold players on your favourite team, but it's all about the championship. Kuch wasn't gonna help him win this year so out he goes. I think Markett vastly overpaid though, which made this deal a no brainer for Thunder.
I guess it's just an amusing way to pass the time commenting on all these deals, so it's relatively harmless and all for the sake of fun.
But everytime I see somebody say "Whoa, X got the way better end of that deal", my mind just screams "Put your players where your mouth is!" LOL We probably have these guys on the block to a bunch of teams before deals go down and nobody else steps up at that point. But even afterward...
You think Kucherov's the stud here? Prove it and offer Markett more for him!
You think Wheeler and O'Reilly should have gotten a better return? Send that return to Thunder!
A very reasonable point! LOL I guess I am just less opinionated...and it IS fun to see how people view some trades that go down.I mean, we all aren't in the same market for the same players. Wheeler and ROR don't make a lick of sense for my team and as much as Kucherov is awesome, he's 28 and coming off a potentially career altering surgery which doesn't fit in my team's timeline at this point. So yeah I'll offer my two cents, lol. Also trading for a guy that is out for the season in return for two big contributors is throwing in the towel, more or less, so a team at the top of the standings probably can't make that deal either.
