Around the League 2019-2026 Edition

You missed the point by 100%. Teams don't know what they're giving up even when they give up their own prospects that they watch daily.

pls take some jetlag pills

that risk is obviously priced into the value of 1sts and good-not-great prospects!

I wish the Rask trade was submitted a minute late too

 

[CH1]

No I agreed with that and with you. I'm just saying it makes sense to trade a 30+ year old for that mystery box (especially if it's a center like Suzuki!). Whereas trading a cost controlled 23 year old power forward with a nice aav for a mystery box winger that may be almost as good as Knies one day = dumb and as HL said, doesn't accomplish anything.

They immediately get worse and barely younger.

of course!!! this was a move that a rebuilding teams make with older vets...but I wasn't comparing Max to Knies at all, I was comparing Suzuki with Glass and how latter mystery box was once incredibly overvalued by the owner of both boxes!!

poor preston

that's my point...everyone prices risk differently

that's what makes Hughes a fun GM for me

 

[Pwner]

I mean, cool and great for them! But have multiple Leafs won awards the same year?

I know you weren't comparing Max and Knies! You just reminded me how dumb this Treliving thing was and it made me rage so I thought I'd comment on how that trade made sense and this one didn't! Not everything is a debate!

So many exclamation points!!

lmao wtf

I don’t remember anything like this from any other team, even ours with faxmachinegate. This is so humiliating for that clown on every level. With other GMs, his staff, his boss. When I wondered what Bundy could’ve possibly done in front of Pelley, had his pants off and trying to trade for his own players, this is actually almost as bad.

lmao wtf

i'm not sure this yyz media guy knows anything but that's hilarious if true.

it's Hughes telling Tre, "I just crushed you. You got saved by the bell. Your better own up to it when the trading window reopens"

Glass over Suzuki was just racism and sizism tbh.

Suzuki was always a plus plus skater as a prospect while skating was Glass' major flaw.

And their junior production was pretty much the same.

Draft year (Suzuki 4 months younger)

Glass: 80gms, 36gls, 103pts (37gl/106pt pace)
Suzuki: 82gms, 53gls, 119pts (53gl/119pt pace)

D+1

Glass: 76gms, 41gls, 115pts (44gl/124pt pace)
Suzuki: 75gms, 45gls, 112pts (49gl/123pt pace)

D+2

Glass: 39gms, 16gls, 70pts (34gl/147pt pace)
Suzuki: 83gms, 50gls, 136pts (49gl/134pt pace)


Vegas was just dumb and biased and racist.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I will say, one awesome part of this is how the Habs came so close to getting Knies and didn’t.

 

[CH1]

Vegas was just dumb and biased and racist.

Bergevin was also dumb and biased and racist....or mystery boxes gonna mystify.

 

[Preston]

I will say, one awesome part of this is how the Habs came so close to getting Knies and didn’t.

They also came so close to making the finals but didn't. Nor did they actually come close. But still, almost the same!

Would have been nice but I'm actually over it, tbh.
