Too much wishful thinking Lowballing on UFA signings.

This is pure Fantasyland.

Marner/Tavares trade proves it. 🙄

Keller > Marner, why would Utah make the move even if Marner was signed already?

When did Keller become a 90+ point Selke level forward?

Keller averaging very nearly PPG in the past 3 seasons while having absolutely no help in Arizona is pretty damn impressive...

Swap Marner in his place, with the players he's had, and it's probably pretty similar production.

Canes decline, Kampf might be a useful player if the expectations were realistic but trading a young Hobey Baker finalist who just signed an ELC and who hasn’t even played a single game in the AHL yet seems like a really bad idea.

Ya. Thats not true in the least.

Keller is PPG without a 70 goalscorer, over last 2yrs he has 40 more points then his next best teammate, nobody has 50goals combined in the last 2yrs except him.
Marner has 22 more points in that span and 13 of which are PP points playing with a team that scored about 100 more goals total in that time frame and about 80 less goals against

Absolutely true

Great, what about the other half of the coin with Marner being a top defensive forward? Keller is a great player, just the teir below Marner. that's not a slight, just the fact that Marner is a top 5 winger in the whole league

The underpays here are pretty crazy for the UFAs.
Also, the league isnt letting guys like Weber get traded anymore.
Thats not a thing these days.
Also gotta question how Cowan would get the 2C job while you pay Stephenson (even though you are way underpaying him lol) to play 3C.
Thats a lot of money for a 3C while Cowan gets owned every night by men in the NHL.

Stats say its not. And so do the professional management teams of the NHL franchises they play for.

Oh yeah that poll of NHL GMs that never existed. I broke down Marner's stats with a better team, Keller clears

Dont need a poll. Pretty evident by how much they pay them. Or do not know about that? lol

Canes laugh. Don’t need a 4C for one of our better prospects.

Yeah no player ever got paid more than he's worth, or do you not know about that? lol

Sure. Multiple NHL teams, each with dozens of hockey experts at varying levels, are all wrong about player value. And you are right. lol You know better than guys who have been doing this for 50 years. lol Thats exactly what I expected to hear from you.
When Marner signs for another 11 or 12m long term. Remember we had this conversation. Remember you thought you knew better than the most knowledgeable hockey minds on earth. HAHAHAHAH

Of course I forgot every NHL team signed off on paying Marner 10.9mil and Keller 7, it had nothing to do with Dubas being a terrible GM.
Who said Marner was a bad player? He will get 11-12 mil maybe more, doesn't change the fact that Keller is the better player
I won't remember this next year but, everytime I see a username with random letters for the last few weeks of ACGM I'll remember svfsdv definitely doesn't know what he's talking about
