I am always one year ahead of the general public - so I get a lot of hate and no credit.

He's a bottom 4/3rd pair Dman. Not even remotely close to proper value for Kapanen even with Bellows.

Does it have to be Kerfoot? I'll give you Kapanen for that...

Not sure what you mean by this but the trade would be after his bonus, so he'd only cost the njd in real dollars 700k this year.

And I have no interest in Toews

Sujet: They still lack depth

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ken_holland</b></div><div>He may be a good playmaker, but he's no Draisaitl. Drai led the league in assists this year, with 67 assists in 71 games. In comparison, Matthews only had 33 assists in 70 games</div></div>

We're talking about vision, not raw totals. Sure Drai got more assists but Mats did it just as well. Plus there are plenty of times where he made the play and didn't get credit for points wise.
Additionally Mats is primarily a shooter, so that really hurts his totals aspect. If he leaned on his play making more he could put up a 2018-19 Marner esq season and more with no issues imo.

And I want to be clear, Draisaitl has unreal vision. Mats in in the same stratosphere at least though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>Who's vision is better Matthews or Draisaitl</div></div>

I think Matthews, but it is subjective and based a lot on pre conceived notions about players. Mats being an elite goal scorer (more so than Drai) hurts his standing in that regard.

I am literally just repeating myself at this point. It would be nice if mister 'I like to have decent conversations and purposeful disagreements' would actually read what is being said but what do I know.

As If I hadn't responded to yours lol.
You literally say his vision is something he might develop, I counter he already has and give an example. Exactly what part of this is giving you the impression that this is in bad faith lol?

Sujet: They still lack depth

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>Ok, let's call it Vision when on the ice not hockey IQ. You can't say Draisaitl has better teamates or linemates or skills than Mats. But you can say that his vision for shooting lanes/passing lanes/and guessing the defenses moves is elite, maybe the best in the game. Mats will gain it I think, but he's 2 years younger.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>You don't watch a lot of Leafs games do you? Mats is a very underrated playmaker and has some of the best vision in the game. Most of last nights goals are a direct result of a beauty Mats feed for example.</div></div>

Like here is a really good example. There is a better angle that shows how utterly insane it was but I can't find it right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>Maybe Mats can prove he is elite and do it back to back, he hasn't proved it in an Elimination game until yesterday when the Toronto guys went off. Draisaitl isn't better than Mats in skills right now, but he sure as hell plays smarter right now. Draisaitl will never have the physical skating talent of Matthews but he's smarter ik that much.</div></div>

I mean, you're wrong but measuring a players hockey IQ is incredibly subjective and prone to personal biases so I won't bother to fight you on it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhavikp27</b></div><div>As I can see, nothing to answer to the initial reply about elimination games' performances.

And indeed, it's not even close, he isn't better. We'll stop here before you try to convince me Engvall is better than RNH.</div></div>

Interesting strawman you got there. Draisaitl puts up empty points largely thanks to McDavid feeding him (#1 toi partner). Drai is also one of the worst forwards in the league defensively.
Mats on the other hand can put the team on his back, drive play, play defensively and has stronger impacts in nearly all aspects.
Although I must say I find it cute how people like you just look at points and think Drai is better, which is hilarious as the stats you posted aren't even right (Mats has a GWG for starters).

But hey, keep being a salty Leafs hater. I'm cool with Mats being underrated

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhavikp27</b></div><div>We could also talk about how Matthews has played in playoffs elimination games'

<strong>Matthews</strong>
5 GP
1 G, 1 A, 15 SOG (6.67%)
TOI 87:00 (ATOI of 17:24)

<strong>Draisaitl</strong>
3 GP
4 G, 2 A, 5 SOG (80.0%), 1 GWG,
TOI 54:45 (ATOI of 18:15)

And don't try to convince me that 34 is better than 29; he isn't.</div></div>

You're literally delusional if you think Matthews isn't better than Draisaitl. It isn't even close lol.
Also your stats aren't even right. I know for a fact that Mats has at least 1 GWG.

Man, remember when Oilers fans were saying the Oilers were better than the Leafs and had good depth?

Sujet: If Kadri hadnt used NTC

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>You live and die by Barrie, really have to embarrass his free roaming ways and he needs to be on PP1 to get full value out of him. That was never going to happen in TO with Reilly, it was doomed from the start. Thats why Avs fans also have a deep appreciation for Erik Johnson who played so many hard minutes so Barrie could have the better match ups to produce points. Now EJ can have an easier work load with no Barrie and Makar here

Babcock had no idea how to use Barrie, which made a bad fit even worse. He was good at controlled zone exits with the Avs bc he would just skate himself out of trouble.</div></div>

Okay but like, he hasn't even been good on the power play.

He is being played in lower leverage minutes than Cody Ceci.
Enormous disappointment

Sujet: If Kadri hadnt used NTC

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>thought the rumour was that Mark Jankowski was going to be part of the deal, who is such a downgrade from Kerfoot but Brodie would be the playing style Dman you would have preferred over Barrie</div></div>

There was a rumor at the deadline that Barrie was nearly traded for Brodie which would have given us the best dman and the best forward but oh well. I still prefer the Colorado return over the Calgary one due to Kerfoot being here for the long term but yeah

God Barrie has been a disappointment. I can't believe you guys thought he was good. The analytics said he was meh at best and they were proven correct In a big way
