Sujet: Marner gone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GirouxFanclub</b></div><div>"it ain't high at all" do you know how stupid you sound. A young franchise winger who is worth the money he is getting payed and has term on his contract. Marner is one of the best play drivers in the league and is also great defensively so to say his value isn't high at all is the stupidest thing I have ever heard</div></div>

Perform when you team needs it the most, or shut up. What has Marner done this playoffs or last year? Hasn't scored. You can sit there and say he's one of the best play driving drivers in the league but hey guess what? Come play off time, that stuff don't matter. Either finish the play and produce or you're not doing your job. &amp; when you're paid almost $11M per season to do it, I'm sorry but underlying numbers don't mean anything in playoffs. Produce or go home.

It's not that his value is low, it's just not gonna be what people expect it to be. Back to back weak playoff performances and a high contract make it incredibly hard to trade him, so it lowers his value. that's how the league works.

Sujet: If the team is losing Eichel you have to get young center in return
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tyler_A10</b></div><div>I have no doubt he could play well alongside a prime Byfield or prime Hughes, but they aren’t there right now. We saw how Skinner played when a young Mittlestadt was his center. It wasn’t great. Obviously Byfield and Hughes are more talented than Mittlestadt but there’s nothing that says Skinner would succeed alongside a young Hughes or Byfield</div></div>

Sure. But the question wasn't "what gives me the best team this year?" The question was "I'm building a team from scratch. Which player do I want?"

If you're telling me to put together the best 2021-22 team with no regard for the future, then I take Eichel. If you're telling me to start a franchise that needs to be perpetually competitive, then I take Hughes.
