They could’ve still traded him this year.
- Steven_Seagull


His has a NTC and why would they trade him if they didn't have to during a season where they don't have their 1st round pick and are a lottery team without him? Karlsson didn't want to be there anymore, he just doesn't want to say it because it hurts his PR and legacy.

Unless he signed a full NMC. Doubt they would have moved him if they extended him, especially for this upcoming season.

Well EK would know better than us.

Holy fack Craig Simpson and Jim Hughson.

He's not completely wrong if you understood the analogy. It helps the drunk stand but it won't make him sober. Analytics are a very useful tool but if a team relies too much on them, they're going to make a lot of mistakes too. Just like a team that doesn't use them at all, they too will be missing a lot of valuable information that all your opponents have access too.

I think Dubas is really great at what he does because he's very well balanced. He doesn't over use any of his tools, even though everybody labels him as an advanced stats guy. He is one, in the sense that he uses them, but I don't think he bases everything he does on them either.

Why would they trade a 1st line winger for an overpaid fringe top-9 winger, a C prospect and moved down in the draft instead of actually something good?

He also said in another interview he hadn't talked to management or ownership for several months until he got traded so maybe he didn't know the whole story either and he's guessing a little bit too.

Not at all.
He’s great now that he’s on the panel or radio.

#Habs lineup vs #Leafs

Tatar - Danault - Gallagher

Drouin - Kotkaniemi - Armia

Byron - Domi - Lehkonen

Hudon - Peca - Shaw

Mete - Petry

Reilly - Juulsen

Ouellet - Benn

Price
Niemi

That is a thin-ass lineup.

That’s actually worse than my NHL 19 Habs team. And I’m trying to lose.

bushkorn is in the square, as is that Asian dude who is clearly trying to become the next Dart Guy who is always trying to get on TV with his signs at Leafs and Raptors games.

Players like Gudas and Wilson are really just very unlucky.
- Aetherial


Nope, Gudas and Wilson have to play on the line or they don't have any other redeeming quality to their game. It's even worse for players like Marchand and Kadri who don't have to play like that, but do anyway.
