You're too good at trolling

It was more of a joke..hence the winkie ...like yours.

I can troll if you'd like...but I don't need to with guys carrying their Hero Charts around like it's a piece of ID, it's like they self troll themselves.

Flames would definitely have interest in Canadians prospect Michael McCarron.

http://www.eliteprospects.../player.php?player=135703

He has size (6'6" 235lb), scored a decent amount as a 20 year old in the AHL, C/RW with right handed shot. So pretty much the exact player Treliving has been targeting all summer.

That being said, would Montreal trade McCarron to the flames for Wideman + ??

IMO, possibly.. Bergevin isn't the sharpest pencil in the drawer (subban trade being the most recent) and treliving is known as the great fleecer so who knows.

Doughty is part of that GOOD team...plays 30 min's a night and is a big piece.

Karlsson is talented for sure..maybe not properly coached...but he's not overall as good as Doughty IMO...i watch him quite a bit (EK)...the guy pinches/try's to make things happen regardless of the score and it comes back to bite him quite a bit...hence the losing and being on the ice for about the same amount of goals going in his net as the other teams net.

To further elaborate why I prefer Hoffman over Galchenyuk: Hoffman generates shot attemps, shots, and points at a higher rate. He also has a better relative CF%, SCF%, and xGF% as well as more takeaways. I like Galchenyuk but right now I prefer Hoffman.

Right.

I guess he thinks that those Florida teams are run by Florida people born and raised lol Id say the closest anyone from Florida is in that organization are the people who clean the locker room lol

He didn't know tampa was run by yzerman. Hockey knowledge at its finest right there. Another southerner I see..

There's also no pressure to play in front of these fans because nobody gives a poop

the point. you missed it. Fred could very well be a canadian living in florida. or someone from a hockey area who moved to florida. you dont know that. and while i grew up in the south, i wasn't born there and my parents arent from there. they're from a place where people are just as hockey mad as canada. you might of heard of it...it's called the soviet union. so they instilled their love of hockey on me, and it didnt matter where i grew up i always would have found and loved hockey. now delete your account

Ahhh yes. Rather have Hoffman over a 22 year old 30 goal scorer who hasn't entered his prime yet. Great decision.

not to mention he played most of his season with Eller and AHL call up of the day.

When he finally ended the season on the 1st line with pacioretty he had 11 goals in his final 17 games.

Given the Lightning just ranked no. 1 in the NHL in gameday experience, you made yourself look like a fool yet again. Nice try though dumb dumb.

Similar defensive impacts while Karlsson produces offense at a much much much higher rate.
- Feds91Stammer



and the goals fly in his net at about the same rate too....hmmm, not sure that's called defensive impact....but carry on.

Doughty had a +21 goal differential, Karlsson had a +15 goal differential while on the ice.

Doughty pretty much lets goals in at a similar rate, while playing for the better team, with a better goalie.

If I had to bet, there are little to no chance he trades McCarron in a trade where the best piece coming back is Wideman.

Wideman is not the kind of player we need at all, the Habs need a top 6 scorer and wouldn't trade one of their best 4 prospects for an aging defenseman who wouldn't be an upgrade on anyone in our top 4 already.

This, of course, being my opinion on the matter.

Karlsson is an awesome offensive d-man... But overall, Doughty is better.

Rel indicates on ice impacts versus the player's teams average.

CF%: Corsi For Percentage; The percentage of all shots that are taken by a team (CF/(CF + CA))

SCF%: Scoring Chances For Percentage; The percentage of all Scoring Chances that are taken by a team (SCF/(SCF + SCA))

xGF%: Expected Goals For Percentage; The percentage of all expected goals that are scored by a team (xGF/(xGF + xGA))

That's not what he said.

He said that Hoffman, in his opinion, was the better player of the two right now. Doesn't mean he wouldn't rather have Galchenyuk for the long term upside.

He's getting there. Similar to Doughty, I think.
- BINGO!

He posted better GF/60 than Karlsson (2.75ish Vs. 2.65ish) and FAR better GA/60 (1.8ish Vs. 2.7ish) and improved on his team's numbers substantially more than either Karlsson or Doughty did. All the while he produced around 50 points, dominates possession-wise, and has been a key cog in a very successful team of late. He even beat Doughty in those aforementioned numbers (2.1 GF/60 and 1.8 GA/60).
