It actually isn't that inaccurate in play style. Lightning release, similar size, high compete level, smart defensive player, center/wing versatility, Wisconsin, both known to be massive chokers who wilt under pressure.

Morin will be Chris Pronger. Both are big, mean defenders and even look like each other a bit.

Like the analytics that showed that Andrew Hammond wasnt a flash in the pan

the analytics that showed Niemi was worth the contract Dallas gave him

Or Lehtonen

Or Bobrovsky

Or Miller

Or Bernier...

Well it's simple then, GM's should just simply use the analytics that fans have access to, and nothing else, since analytics, have never, ever, ever, been wrong. 600+ players in the NHL, analytics gets them all right! Any fan with access to analytics can run an NHL team.

Interesting. Let say the Flyers did trade for Hartnell (1/2 retained) and the 3rd overall.

1. What do they give up?

2. Who do they take a 3?

1. #18, 2017 1st, Laughton, Sanheim.

Change Laughton to Simmonds or Schenn OR add another 2nd if needed.

2. Laine if he somehow slips, Jesse as the likely candidate.

I don't think that Laughton, Simmonds, and Schenn are all on the same level. Maybe the latter two.

They aren't, that's why I said change it to Schenn or Simmonds if needed as in if CBJ says improve the offer. Regardless, I'm sure they still say no.

I am equally surprised. Before I wanted to dangle Neuvy to get more pick(s) but knew we wouldn't get back value that equals to what Neuvy could do this year for us , and with us not keeping both him and Mason beyond this season. But after today, I wouldn't be mad if Hexy could take advantage with the already moves setting the market somewhat. What do you think Neuvy realistically could fetch?
- arichardson22


A late 2nd right now. Maybe more at the deadline if he has another .920 season but gets injured less often.

Speaking of that. I saw that Matthews is 2 days away from being eligible for the 2015 draft. That close to going to Arizona at 3

Pairing the 3rd overall with Hartnell certainly hurts the value that CBJ gets for it. People saying you would need to give up the 18th, next years first, a top prospect and a guy like Schenn are high.

You know, I'm on the thread. Next time you can just say I'm high? Instead of just indirectly doing so.

Im not a passive aggressive person. If I wanted to single you out I would have... however, there are a handful, and I didnt think I needed to research all who have touched on it.

Even if you were to trade to the 3rd, the 18th plus a top prospect and Schenn is an ENORMOUS overpayment.

If you talk to Toronto fans, Matthews would have gone first overall last year.
