Oh, lol. Interesting way to think about it

Let's be honest, that guy is NOT a defenseman.

Hoffman has an elite play-maker to feed him the puck, either way. That's what drives his numbers up. He's a one-trick pony, IMO. Ottawa would never trade with us though, unless it's for Rob Ray.

Frost is who the fans have been hyping to me when I remind them how terrible a trade Schenn for Lehtera was. Gerbe, remember laughing at me up for saying the Sabres should've tried to get Schenn? Game over bro. Don't cross the Three Eyed Raven

He's like a fast Cody Hodgson that can score and drive possession. BE GONE, UNCOUTH SCUM!

Find one guy who is making 5 million dollars on a UFA contract scoring 60 points a season.

I'm not putting your trades through unless we can come up with a solution that's fair for everybody.

And btw, Hoffman has one 60 point season.

If we're playing the "Kane isn't a multiple time 30-goal scorer" card.

I just found you two comparables at lesser pay-scale.

Breakout year! He still hasn't hit 60, yet he probably will. A consistent 60 point guy will be a challenge if not impossible to find. I'm too lazy to look tbh.

Point is, he's a bargain and a good player, and saying he's not is completely false.

never admit you were wrong online and if someone provides you proof that you were indeed wrong, just ignore it

Malkin and Ovechkin for Getzlaf, Rakell, and Forsberg isn't fair value. That's two superstars for 3 good/great players.

I could see it being fair if it were for one or the other, Malkin OR Ovechkin, but not both.

I think she’s just adding up the point total not the stars itself

Sabres send: Kane, Lehner, ROR, McCabe and a 2nd

Philly sends: Giroux, Ghost, 1st

That's not how it works though, letting her stack two superstars on her team isn't fair for the rest of the league
