Now that's some independent thinking there.

Convo flows as ppl discuss their positions.
On many other previous blogs i stated player comparisons r generally foolish.
All i care about is what happened not the easy woulda coulda shoulda crowd.
- Nighthawk

Dont you become a part of that crowd when you say "Take away Matthews & this convo changes drastically"?

Who is JP?
- neem55

A top winger prospect who can allow LD to be a 2C for great depth.
Contender in the making for many years.
Can Nylander do the same as a 2C, hardly & far from a 200' player & maybe never.

I'd take LD over a winger like Nylander any day.
A beast vs a very good offensive talent.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate/despise the Calgary Flames and their stupid red sweaters

But the Flaming 'C' looks better than our dumb Orca...

Nah thats was for context only.
Matthews is a generational talent lotto win & luck is luck.
U cannot find me complaining nor whining about our lotto luck on any blog.
I don't seek excuses I'd rather deal with what happens & work it.

Anyone here willing to predict the Leafs r a PO lock?
For the record not I. Bubble team
- Nighthawk

Flagged.
For obvious reasons.

Other than me taking stances on certain players I do find i learn a lot from many posters here & do appreciate their input to help me get more informed.

But in a conversation about how good Nylander is, you cant take away Matthews. As much as we may speculate that Nylander would be way worse, the reality is that they are teammates and are both very successful - it happened. Can't coulda/shoulda/woulda roster moves to suggest he isnt

I've not stated Nylander is not a good talent nor dismissd his achievements to date.
I have said team success he is a part of but it has amounted to only 1 season.
When he continues to do that more n more i will give him his due. As it stands i'm not using 1 season to decide what he is or is not. When he is on par with others who have larger sample sizes he undoubtably will be better judged.

I only use the leafs in my discussion cuz they r a fun & exciting team regardless of my dislike for them lol

The Oilers the same & being a Canuck fan i can still be honest.

When it comes to the Flames Smith is not the answer.

So you did say Puuljarvi is better than Nylander. I'm going to stop this convo now, because you are all over the place, and just say (for a third time) hard no on that one bud.

PJ's buddy??
- Makita

Oh, old PJ. He, JB and CB3 go for coffee at SBV I hear

Smith wasn't my first choice but the combo of gio/Hamilton/Brodie/harmonic/stone/6D and smith is alright by me

Heh I do like how the Flames are progressing no doubt.
Smith is still the weakest link. He's a band aid for now at best.

I irony!

Irony? Where?

Can u find me comparing Nylander with PJ anywhere?
Nah your baked & tossing it out & seeing what sticks.
Rarely do u discuss hockey but definitely a flamer.
