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

I was just saying it will be wierd to see a trophy raised at the ACC

Meh, hes allowed to have an opinion
- Fakepartofme

Yup, and sometimes his opinion is more rational than a lot of other people's.

It's moronic. It's way off and it trolling.

Pretty pathetic that that is what get him off.

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?

Yes, because that is the TRUE value of the 1st over all.

He completely ignored the impact the players make during the games played. He had the math to make his case.

The problem was that he was missing such a big part of the argument that the math was pretty much irrelevant.

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.

Remember im one of the few Oiler fans on our thread that thinks Chiarelli is a Moron. But that doesn't mean Winnipeg is trading him to you for a bunch of b prospects and picks either. It'll be a big return.

If that was the case I'd be here with only Lums and woder.

Im not disagreeing
Trouba has had two decent seasons, he young, nowhere near his prime, not really unproven.

On Robidas Island!

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.
- Aetherial

Oh.....

I'm looking forward to reading the Trouba is 1000000000x better than Myers articles from him and Garret Hohl.

It amazes me how some players get so overhyped before they produce any actual results. I'd probably choose to keep Trouba. But they are now talking about him like he's on the Norris doorstep

Playing games all that matters.

They can have the Leafs 1st and a prospect not named Marner or Nylander, that 1st might even be better than a 9th overall.

I hope they keep him. Or trade him to Ottawa for goofballs.

Hes not worth the assets and salary he's demanding

Meh, hes allowed to have an opinion

My opinion is that his opinion is that of an idiot or a troll.

It's moronic. It's way off and it trolling.

Oh ok.
You dont know its moronic, he hasnt been traded yet, so you dont know what he could bring back.
So cool your jets

He certainly wont be getting Nylander + or Marner +

Leafs just finished dead last. They should not be trading it for anyone that's not a legit superstar. Would be the dumbest thing they could do right now in their rebuild.

Joey bats.
Still the man.

Well I do know that he won't be traded for a better dman+, or for marner+ or nylander+.

Time to move along.

Nope.
Brown, nielson and pick is the most i hope they would ever offer.

Leafs rebuilding.

People seem to think they are legit top 10 pick this year.

Why trade the 1st now then if that is the case?

You should have moved along a while ago, he was simply trolling for replies

Next years first will most likely be a high, so that is off the table.

Yea I'd protect that pick, top-5.(post lottery)

Thing is, with Rielly, Zaitsev, Trouba, and Gardiner... The top-4 looks pretty damn legit.

Matthews could well be a #1C this season. Nylander looked damn impressive last year...

Lots of talent coming into the lineup.
