Still think leafs get robbed in that CGY deal. However, that ducks trade is not enough. Show me how the ducks lose a defenseman for nothing since you're bringing "facts" into the argument - I'll give you a hint (you're wrong). Second, if you actually paid attention you'd know Dallas said the #3 is in play FOR DEFENSIVE HELP. Not 3rd line scrubs and a couple late first rounders. Dvorak trade is off because the pieces you're sending don't move the needle for ARZ who likes Dvorak enough to play him as the 1C even when Hanzal was there. The only thing you are right about is Nylander > Tkachuk but t everything else couldn't be even close to true so before you decide to be rude to people maybe you're the one that should come with #facts.
Rude? No, I haven't been rude to anyone. I simply asked for a rationale to the critique. This is all supposed to be fun. Why are you all hot and bothered (see: RUDE) ? deep breaths, friend...
Now then...
Tkachuk will have INSTANT chemistry with Matthews. teammates from the US Hockey program and longtime friends. He's also an assist machine with the grit factor that Hyman provides. Look at his numbers. They'll be unstoppable, and when the rough stuff becomes a factor, no backward steps. He's also Marner's former linemate in London, and the thought of those three on PP1 makes me drool. It should make you do the same. Re: Anaheim, they have NMC/NTC's issued to the following: Kesler, Getzlaf, Perry, Bieksa and modified NTC's with Cogliano and Vermette. They have Fowler, Vatanen, Lindholm and Manson to try to protect as well. Those are the facts. Here's a hint for you: They're in a jam. A serviceable winger and 2 2nd rounders for a physical shutdown defender with limited offense is plenty, especially given the circumstance. Anaheim takes the deal and walks away with some modicum of appropriate compensation. Not hard to figure out...
Thanks for pointing out the particulars re: Dallas' expected return. I did not hear that. You could make that point just as easily without being unnecessarily aggressive, especially when "rudeness" is an apparent sore spot for you. I can't let you off the hook re: the 3rd line scrubs comment, because that's just not a smart thing to say about a former 2nd overall pick who scored 29 goals this year and a veteran playmaking centre with 55 points who is a face-off/shootout wizard. You need to re-think that bit of ignorance. Also, when you look at the holes in Dallas' forward group this coming year, it is inconceivable to assume that the combined 48 goals and 117 points JVR and Bozak represent would be dismissed out-of-hand, especially given the picks they'd also be entitled to.
In closing, cheer up. Life is hard enough. Don't make the thing you do for recreation cause you so much anger.
