Sujet: What is Wilsons trade value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>On second thought I probably did underestimate it a bit.

How about Wilson for 2021 COL 1st + Jost + Beaucage (or other non-top-5 prospect)?

Sakic doesn't trade 1st's and that's a prime piece that hurts to move, along with Jost who is a cheap roster player with 2nd line upside.</div></div>

to be complete honest capitals have a lot of solid prospects... McMichael and Protas then they have Alexeyev and a few other solid d prospects. Capitals really don't need much besides RHD prospects but I would rather trade Kuzy than Wilson. Wilson is just the type of player coaches/ organizations love. plays hard every night and is a team first guy. caps want to win right now bc this is their best chance with this group of guys. prospects do nothing bc once Ovi is gone id rather suck than be a bubble team.

okay... name a 50 point player that is also top 5 in hits penalty minutes (fighting majors) and can keep up with elite talent in the league? wilson is a deterrent that also can play on the 1st line. imagine Reeves if he could actually skate and shoot? or imagine Nylander that can hit and fight? now you realize why wilson is rare. weird i have to explain his value to a capitals fan

Sujet: Whos better Malkin or Ovi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarnerElite </b></div><div>Personally, I’d go with Ovie but it’s very close. I think in terms skill with the puck, they’re equal. Both have excellent hands &amp; can undress the best defenders. Skating, I’d give the edge to Ovie. In his prime his acceleration was unreal yet it often goes under the radar. Both have good agility &amp; balance, but for me Ovie’s speed edges it. Both players are physically intimidating to play against, but Ovie seems to use his body more often, especially on the forecheck. Malkin has better playmaking &amp; vision, but Ovie has the better shot. Neither players are known for their defensive play but based on the numbers malkin is slightly better. You could have a case for either player, but it’s hard to ignore the fact that Ovechkin was MVP 3 times &amp; has 8 goal scoring titles.</div></div>

9 scoring titles now. yeah i agree both are amazing players. i like Ovechkin for scoring and durability. Malkin is great but Ovechkin is an all time great. i value goals over 2nd assist.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoWah49</b></div><div>Geno is better but Ovi will be remembered more when he beats the record</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Definitely agree that in 30 years, no one will care about Malkin, but Ovi will still be well loved because he either broke Gretzky’s record or came very close.</div></div>

i think its also important to state that in the last 15 years Malkin has been better than 99% of the league. people on this site like to pretend Malkin is a 2nd rate hockey player. you could argue that Malkin was better than Crosby at times.... i hate when people make it seem like being compared to malkin is an insult. the guy is a FREAK. on that note OVECHKIN might be the most loved player in the league. with age his popularity grew.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Crosby, I don't know how anyone could ever say otherwise.

Hell it doesn't even have to be based on skill or production or anything else. He'd simply out work the other 3. The whole rest of that list has been called something Crosby has never been called. LAZY.</div></div>

I’m not going to argue that Crosby is really good. Also doesn’t hurt having Malkin backing you up. Like I said you can’t go wrong with any of these players. Ovechkin maybe lazy but he also has 9 rockets. Each player adds a lot and shouldnt have accomplishments diminished for any reason. Crosby also has been injuried a lot hard to be a franchise player if you don’t play. lucky for him and Pittsburgh malkin is also generational. Let’s not play this game and just appreciate the greatness of all these players

Sujet: first overall for eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarnerElite </b></div><div>Unless Lafreniere has a serious injury that ruins his development, there's pretty much no chance he becomes anything less than the best winger in hockey. Ability wise, he's as complete as it gets. Decent skating, decent shot, great hands, outstanding vision, high hockey sense, excellent defensive play, plays physical, goes to the dirty area, and is relentless at forechecking and retrieving the puck.

If Marner can put up 95 points on a line with JT or Matthews, Alexis is capable of getting at least 110.

Too many people don't know enough about this year's first overall pick. He put up better numbers than MacKinnon's last year in junior on a much weaker team. No reason to think his ceiling is not equivalent to Matthews &amp; Eichel.</div></div>

Yeah people said the same thing about Kk and laine. Best winger in hockey? Oh man. ... not enough people know about the number one pick? Literally last year I heard how Hughes and KK would score 80 points. Lmfao I’ll believe it when i see it. Guys like ovechkin dont exists anymore. Players scoring 100 points rookie year. Dude might get 60? That’s still good but 4 players scored 100 points last year? I hate when people make comments like this. Not that it’s impossible but it’s just unlikely. He could be the next Eichel but he could also be the next Yak. I’ll take the sure thing like I said before.

Sujet: McDavid
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Ok before freaking out and going to the extreme the other direction look at points per minute and also consider for the first 3 full seasons under Babcock, Matthews was something like 116th in time on ice while McDavid was first. Now using your logic if one is a 100 point player and the other an 82 point player (an unfair assessment considering Matthews has been above a point a game the past 2 seasons) you are also saying that 1 100 point player is worth more than one 82 point player and (what I am assuming your argument will be) a 60 point winger. Just doing some quick math but 140+ points is more than 100.

While I have agreed and continue to agree that McDavid is the best player in the world, trading a franchise centre who is younger and undeniably has better defensive numbers for McDavid doesn't make sense if it also costs a young player who appears to be close to a point a game player as well.

To simplify if McDavid is worth 100 units of measurement and Matthews is worth 82 units, why would you also give up a player worth 70 units to get the 100 unit player? Especially if it also means you have to get a player worth minus 30 units?</div></div>

Points per minute haha oh boy. So hypothetical points are worth more than actual points. Make sense. Haha. And technically mcdavid is worth 110 points mathews is with 80 and Nylander is worth 60. So 110 points vs 140 Oilers could find a 30 point difference for less than 7 million. Facts Matthews is paid slightly less than mcdavid and isn’t nearly as good. OH mathews defense is awful. Matthews isn’t a good 2way center. Matthews also is a ghost in the playoffs.
