Thwomp! Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Arizona is being outshot by Colorado about 25-3, yet only trail 1-0. Raanta has been incredible. Getting chippy now... I miss good Sabres hockey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ullmark is a UFA after this season, what should we sign him to? About the same contract? Their performances are pretty close over the past couple years.

Maybe this year but they have been pretty even the last 2 years. Considering we know Eichel has been injured since the get go, recency bias going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathews has better stats because of the system he plays in and the roster he is on has more producers up and down the line up. While Mathews is a dr8ving force he has never had to shoulder the burden of carrying a franchise single handedly, Eichel has. Edmonton has both McDavid and Draisatl and they struggle as a top combo pair to pull their team up every season. Supporting cast counts, system deployed per players strengths counts, that's just a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no comparison regardless of what stats are thrown around. I don't think you are very in tune with the general narrative on Matthews over the years. Jack has never done anything like what Matthews got in trouble for a couple summers ago, and as recently as 5 months ago the narrative was that he was immature/incapable of being a leader. On the ice, he would disappear for long stretches, being useless when he wasn't scoring goals, since he's a pretty average playmaker. He's certainly going off right now, through 25 games in a division in which there are maybe 2 playoff capable teams in a normal format, and where none of the teams involved have played a lick of defense all year. But as of this past offseason, I would have been extremely uncomfortable with the idea of trading Matthews for Eichel 1 for 1. They have the same amount of playoff series wins as each other ,and considering the rosters and coaching both have received, that says something Edited March 12, 2021 by Randall Flagg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no comparison regardless of what stats are thrown around. I forgot, who is the captain and leader of the Toronto Maple Leafs? Further the question wasn't who is the best leader, it was about being on the same level regarding their on ice place. As demonstrated by the stats, they produce at almost the exact same rate, ergo they are on the same level. Edited March 12, 2021 by LGR4GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#freejame Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 I wouldn’t trade Eichel for Matthews 1-1, because I think Jack has the ability to be better than Matthews. I’m just not convinced that is currently the case. Good points made up thread about the North as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Wasn't sure where to put this, but I thought I'd check in on the NHL production each team has received to date through the pieces exchanged in the BUF-STL trade on July 1 2018. Buffalo has received: 184 games played, 16 goals, 18 assists, 34 points, and a +/- of -47. No trophies that I am aware of, though I think Tage was 5th place in Buffalo Sabres ROTY voting St Louis has received: 179 games played, 48 goals, 116 assists, 164 points, a +/- of +43, along with a Selke and Conn Smythe trophy added to their trophy case (along with what the latter implies) No pressure, Ryan Johnson!
