2 physical, "grit", "intangibles" wingers with virtually identical production in the 2 years prior to being traded, with similar contractual costs (Meier 3 mill+8.8x4=38.2 mill over 5 years, Brady 8.2x5=41 mill over 5 years)</div></div>

Meier is a complimentary player. He was thought to be a driver. I thought Devils overpaid BUT, it was a good overpay because he should compliment Hughes, hasn't happened. Mukhamadullin was so underrated as a prospect. But hey revisionist history. I am still a big fan, though.

Even last year Tkachuk would have more value. He impacts the game more at a younger age. More physical, leader and intangibles. If you don't like it and call it bias, fine. But it's true

I didn't say he'd be a 915, I think he's average, 905.

Thanks. I don't think he will be 915 either, I think average so 905. Keep in mind, Columbus was not good until torts got there, played awesome in the leafs series. He played amazing in front of the kings who played a structured game. Comes to Ottawa, shocker he got shelled. The chances he faced were insane in the 1st half. It looked to me he felt like he had to bail his team out, tried even harder and made his problems worse.

Maybe I'm just optimistic, but if the sens put a detailed team in front of him, he's going to be good. Who's to say saros doesn't get here and go holy hell what are these chances haha. Demko was 'awful' last year. Coaching change, team played differently, 2nd half was better. This year denko is a Vezina candidate. Not saying korpi will be that, just how having a detailed team plays a big role

Sujet: Slaf breakout real or fake
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>I like slaf a lot and he should have been put in this situation all year (Josh Anderson on PP1 should be a crime).

Just went from PP2+bad linemates+horrific shooting luck to good linemates+PP1+good shooting luck

Honestly imo he was more impressive early in the year with what he was doing in terms of chance generation 5v5 considering what he was working with</div></div>

I mean, there's so much more to prospect development than teammates, pp time and shooting luck. Coach probably didn't think he was ready to play with those better players, or wanted him to see if he could drive a line with lesser skill players. So him being on the top line generating less isn't him not being as impressive as it could be he has other players to drive the line, and he can develop other skills. Size, speed, creating space for his teammates, knowing where to be on the ice as plays develop.

So I can't get behind he was more impressive earlier in the year. Stats, even advanced stats don't tell everything. He's getting the trust of his coach to make smart nhl plays playing against top lines. At 19 almost 20, that's damn impressive. So yeah, short term, shooting percentage, chance generation take a hit. But he's growing his game a professional way, and that's something MSL and all Habs fans should be excited about
