Trouba was a 9th overall, Marner and Nylander were both drafted higher.
Why is he worth more?

Because leafs.

I need am explanation for this. What article?
- sbroads24

Wish I had the link. Some article Travis Yost wrote for tsn. It's (frank)ing hilarious. And he wasnt joking.

Larsson got Hall.

Trouba is younger and better. More physical and puts up better numbers on a bad team in a lesser role.

Laugh it up then...

Shouldn't count.

Draft position is your argument? Hall was a first overall. Kessel was a 5th. Seguin was a 2 nd.

What did they get back as returns?

Hall trade was bad I know. But Trouba is a quality young rhd. They apparently cost a lot.

It feels weird to watch a successful team play at the ACC.

Because leafs.

Yeah like remember how you all said you were going to get such a great haul for Kessel?

Jesus.

Hand pass are illegal, unless your name ends in "ski" or "ov" and your team is down by 3with less than 10 sec.

Meh, draft position not a great argument.
Trouba will bring a great return

What did he say?
- sbroads24

He was trying to define the TRUE (yes, he said that) value of a first overall.

He did it by looking at average games played per round drafted.

So he ended up making absurd conclusions, like the first overall is worth a 2nd, 3rd, and 6th...

The whole thing was so bad I couldn't believe TSN even put it up. It is one of the stupidest sports articles I ever read.

So Seguin hall and Kessel got scunt back but Trouba will get a kings randsom. Makes sense. If you're a complete idiot. You're arguing against yourself with the point you just made.

To your GM maybe, But Hall is way more valuable than Larson.

Yes, but taking a trade that everyone who has ever watched hockey was laughing at... and then extrapolating that to suggest what the Leafs should pay for an unproven Dman is some pretty bad reasoning.

And you're wrong with that,

Best. article. ever.


You can get a 1st overall for a handful of picks that doesnt include a 1st rounder. What was it a 2nd a3rd and a couple 4ths?
