If you want to focus exclusively on my wording, see below:



If you want to keep trolling, go for it. I have no issues with infracting you accordingly. I haven't moved the goalposts, you've just maintained a persistent intellectual dishonesty during this entire argument. Goodnight.

The moment Columbus finds a #1C and a goaltender, they have no reason to not be competing with the top teams in the Metropolitan. The same can be said for the Wild too.

If a roster is composed of 21 to 23 players and you're only quality two pieces away from being a legitimately good team, AND the Oilers come offering one of Connor and Leon, care to tell me if those are relatively complete rosters?

Lambos and Wallstedt haven't played an NHL game yet. I don't care what they're projected to be. What are the Oilers getting TODAY if they decide to trade Leon Draisaitl, known top 3 player in the NHL at 50% retention?

This isn't NHL23, "potential" means absolutely nothing. Jack Eichel fetched a top-six winger, a top prospect, a first, and a second round pick. You can maybe rationalize that the first three elements of that deal get you what you've offered for Draisaitl - a first and two prospects. Eichel got more, and Draisaitl comes without the injury history, is better, and comes at 45% the price of Eichel's cap hit.

You have not offered enough.

They need LHD

That's incredible, big man threatening me with his mod powers because he doesn't like being proven wrong in a discussion. Really good work.

"Intellectual dishonesty" because you keep moving goalposts. Really incredible stuff. Really good look for you.

Teams abouslety value potential, and if we are valuing players just today dristail hasn't been a top 3 player in the leauge this year
