Sujet: More realistic offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>No. Setting aside that I'm not sonsure Guentzel is better any amount worth mentioning, Buch is not a UFA everyone knows is on the block at the deadline. The Blues are not trying to trade him. They're wanting to extend him. It's not the same situation. And I'm not seeing this sire 1st you're talking about. All I see is a bunch of meh. Six pieces and not one that approaches being a prime asset. If you need to pile up six pieces for Buch, you already know it's wrong.</div></div>

Buch is a UFA... he's got 1 year left. Guentzel was someone Pittsburgh wanted to extend, but Guentzel wouldn't sign. Look at the Guentzel trade as a comparable because if you think this is a bunch of meh when a similar package got a superior player (Guentzel is better than Buch, come on, let's not get into this). You're going to be brutally disappointed if you don't think *anything* here is worth Buch.

Sujet: Big Deal with ST Louis
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BDHockey</b></div><div>The spinning is actually insane. Crazy how you can put so much faith in Nadeau and in the same breath say that Thomas hasn't proven himself to be a 1C. For what its worth Aho isn't playing 1C to any of the people you listed either.</div></div>

Aho's playing 1C over Eichel, Zibanejad, Barkov, and Point. Thomas isn't. Thomas is closer to someone like Nick Suzuki in his skillset. A very, VERY good player. But a bona fide 1C? I struggle to see that.

Difference between Thomas and Nadeau is Nadeau is 18. Thomas is 24. Thomas will get a little better, but it's unlikely he takes another significant step. Nadeau already looks like a lock to play in Carolina's top 9 next year at 19. They cannot be compared. When Nadeau gets to 24, he could be the same quality as Thomas. He could be worse, he could be better. But to say middle six for Nadeau is an extreme amount of either ignorance or blatant incorrectness.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BDHockey</b></div><div>Eichel is not a good comparison for any trade, because there were so many contextual factors that led to that trade.

Aho and Thomas are not worlds apart from each other. Aho plays on better team and is also two years ahead in his career.
Points is they are both True 1C's and the deal above makes no sense.

In all likelihood you are trading an entire prime of a Elite 1C for Necas and probably some middle six level players.</div></div>

If you think Nadeau is going to be a middle six player, you missed the boat on his ENTIRE dominant season in the NCAA. He's 18, already played in the NHL, and is likely going to be a great top line player for a long time... Eichel is a better comparable because the totals are closer. Aho just had a 89 point season in 75 games. To say 100 was a possibility for him isn't a stretch. Thomas has one PPG season in his career. He's not proven he's a true 1C. In fact, given his defensive analytics, I'd argue he should probably be a 2C on a contender. He's not playing 1C over guys like Aho, Matthews, Point, Barkov, Zibanejad, MacKinnon, Eichel etc etc.
