Quoting: Logan_Ollivier
Nylander has outscored Meier in every season he's played. But this is cap friendly where a point a game player on the Leafs would definitely only be a 60 point player everywhere else. And literally any 60 point winger will be a 90+ point player on the Leafs. It never fails. Meier is going to want 10+ million on his next deal and is definitely not worth it.
no this is Logic where a guy who is the main focus for opponents D like Meier and Hertl are with the sharks. vs a guy who is the secondary focus on the maple leafs like Nylander.
look kane was the main focus on the sharks team for 2 years and was a 30 goal 60 point guy, he goes to ta team where he is a supporting player to Draisaitl and Mcdavid and goes off for 35 goals in 56 games (regular season and playoffs) and is a PPG player there,
then there are guys on stacked teams going elsewhere and dropping off.
judging guys based on points only is not logical when how they got them and who their teammates are is so vastly different.
on the sharks Meier and Hertl are the only forwards pushing the play, on Toronto you have Marner Matthews Tavares Nylander and with those 4 increadibly good players its hard for teams to focus on just 1 line. this gives those guys more opportunities.
And if you disagree with me then why are you offering this trade? your not trying to help the sharks. your trying to justify a foolish trade by undervaluing one player and over valuing another.
