I was wondering where the heck you were and why you added only ten thousand posts to your total last week.

In saying that, these lower minute guys are the kind of additions that could potentially be more of a value play than a big minute slug with a reputation like Parayko. If your scouts get it right of course!

i've been seeing if i can talk myself into Parayko based on a) him maybe not costing as much in assets thanks to contract, b) him at least playing big tough minutes every year, c) i guess sort of a fit here.

it's a work in progress.

Devon Toews played like 18-19min on average on the Island. Went to Colorado, became a stud and immediately played 25mpg. Not saying that's what Walker is, but writing a guy off because of how much he plays is not something I'd do personally!

Just gonna go on record here that all the same folks who pushed for him to get a “change of scenery” or whatever will be the ones whining when he does awesome things elsewhere. Fuck moving young players because this piece of shit coach won’t play em

yeah, count me firmly in the, "we will regret trading ME's nephew" camp.

and I'm nearly certain we'll get pennies on the dollar for him too.

while true, I think that's less common than say a Travis Dermott type, who crushes soft matchups but cannot be counted on in your top 4.

now, having said that, I'm not sure which one Walker is.

Of course. That's where the scouts and nerds need to do their homework. Toews was a stud on the Isles and it was way more clear and obvious than it is with Walker. Walker is more than likely not Toews. But finding value in a lower minute guy is way easier than the big minute guys, who will almost always cost you a premium, whether they crush their minutes or not. The Isles clearly did not value Toews as much as they should have. There are examples of this every year and this is what the Leafs need to take advantage of more often, look at Florida's D!

Toews played 20:31 at age 25 in his last year on the island!

eh I'm less convinced. but guess we'll find out soon enough.

and agreed about it being easier to find value in a lower mpg guy.
