I was speaking in general. TM passed on so many cheap low-risk/high-reward guys.

But you're crazy. Grabner scored 27 goals this year at 1.6 mil and has two goals in two games in the playoffs so far and one of them was a beautiful goal. There's no team that doesn't need that kind of good value signing.

He had 40 points this year and 8 last year in 80 games, we have enough scrubs.

Matthews didn't score in 13 straight games, who's fault is that? This is asinine.

He didn't call anyone out to the media. That's the difference.

Grabner is a scrub, 8 point last year in 80 games and he has 27 now and he's the 2nd coming ? please. I'll take Kane all day long over him.

Ppl get way too wrapped up in who's better than who
And especially labeling guys...
generational, elite... who cares?
Jack is really good. So is McDavid. So is Matthews.
Ppl also have different definitions of these terms,
So to even discuss it seems kinda pointless

Why does it have to be either or? Good teams figure out ways to make both work. It doesn't have to be Grabner, but you need to find players every year that produce beyond their salary. Tim Murray has done a mediocre job at best in that regard so far.

Saying "this is a funny post" dosnt make you right.

It actually makes you look quite stupid because you obviously have nothing to say to back it up. That's what's funny

- Santo_44



Who said anything about being right? What's funny is you cannot spell the word DOESN'T and then proceed to call me stupid. Go back to your Toronto ghetto you jamoke.

All I know is that Matthews has the worst nostrils since Judd Nelson. Very punchable face on that kid.

Matthews also only had 29 assists. Risto had 39 assists – does that make Risto Ultra-Generational? Patrik Laine had 36 goals and 28 assists in 73 games, both higher per game rates than Matthews. Can I therefore conclude that Laine is more Generational than Matthews? Bring it down a notch, buddy.
- grills13


He played with Hyman all season and with two rookies splitting time in Brown and Nylander. He would of gotten plenty more assists with a scorer.

Either way you are using assists as an argument? That's comical. Considering secondary assists are pitty points. Let's forget all the records he broke and that he got 40 goals. Some players got more assists!



Mathews had more primary assists than Risto and Laine.

Run along now

I said it last night, though. I'm getting tired of Canada sending out a full fledged NHL roster this year, while the US makes it some sort of U-23 development camp. The tournament is hard enough to get interested in to begin with.

Then again, USA Hockey decided at the World Cup that they don't have 20 skaters over the age of 23 better than Justin freaking Abdelkader, so maybe it doesn't make a difference.

Also he had 18 last year.

When I talk value signings, it doesn't mean specifically Grabner, but we need to start taking some chances on guys that may turn out to be higher value than we're paying
