Core 4 No More: The Motherfucking Off-Season Thread

[MyNameIsJonas]

Captain gone or we're fucked.

We need a blueline, badly.

You know that

Even Jonas knows that

 

[LeafOfFaith]

You just confirmed he’s not that great

Not really. My point was that if he's not getting prime opportunities, then that means there's room for those numbers to be better,

 

[Preston]

Better....currently in the Swiss league by way of the Rimouski Oceanic.

Ooo got it now. I was thinking Riley Stotts!

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Also, he looked pretty decent in his cup of coffee stint last season. I liked what I saw.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

You could say Mittens is the GOAT

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Why, just so you can better fantasize fucking him?

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I know for a fact you don’t get the actual reference, but sure

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I know for a fact you don’t get the actual reference, but sure

Of course I do, Freddie Fucker.

 

[Preston]

You fuck one goat

 

[MindzEye]

If we're looking for him to be a top line player.

I don't think we're looking for points overload for a bottom sixer.

And the value he has for me is replacing shit like Kampf and Dewar.

If you're not a star in the CHL, you usually aren't good enough to develop into a bottom line NHL'er

For example, here's Connor Dewar's 19 yr old season vs Minten's

Dewar: 59GP, 36G, 81PTS (per 82: 50/113)
Minten: 43GP, 22G, 48PTS (per 82: 42/92)

If you're not a great player in junior, you're usually not good enough to make it as even a depth player in the NHL. Every NHL team in the league has 4th liners who were stars in junior. Fucking Gregor put up Minten numbers as a 19 yr old in Junior.

Can't trade him though.

Yeah but that's Connor McDewar.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Minten should have been offered for Tanev

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Yeah but that's Connor McDewar.

The same guy you want gone cause he makes too much

 

[MindzEye]

Yeah but that's Connor McDewar.

exactly.

The absolute best thing we could do this summer is package up a 1st, Minten and some jump and go get a player we need for him.

 

[MindzEye]

Why? Minten has more trade value than a 2nd imo. Good pro GM's love the cut of his jib.

Well, it doesn't bode well that Dewar's numbers are so much better, but Minty did look much better than Dewar in his NHL stint.

Oh look a real prospect

24 points in 15 playoff games, a year younger than Minten.

That's what Minten should be doing right now imo.

 

[Preston]

Minten and a 1st is a very competitive package that appears way more valuable than it actually is. Utilize it pls.
