Not me.

Pittsburgh has a dilemma with what defensemen to protect

Letang, Matta, & then either Schultz or Dumoulin
I'd really like Dumoulin here

I wonder what Pitt will do?

schultz is in line for a pretty good raise so maybe he gets moved?

He is though.

He's just not the goal scorer Kane is.

I'd take Kane 100 out of 100 times, but the drop off isn't as significant as you think.

Versteeg is a career .56 PPG player
Kane is a career .60 PPG player.

That's not much of a difference.

It's not like I want Versteeg to be a top line player here for 5 years.

He's a depth guy

Now do the goals per game & compare

Versteeg blows

Well they won without Letang and could save some cash there...

Yes please

U could be right there

I just like Dumoulin in the defensive zone much better
He'd be a good pair for Risto I think

- jcragcrumple

Sure...
but can they trade him?
He's hurt more than Bogosian

Yes please
- sbroads24

U prefer him to Dumoulin?

No idea. Frankly I'm amazed that a who had a stroke was allowed to come back at all

Wouldn't just using this fit your narrative?

I'm using overall production over there career.

They have both produced like 2nd liners over their career.

One is a goal scorer, one isn't

Or if you Mike Schoop.

Alex Zulzer.

I F(*&^ hate him for that.

I texted this to a buddy today, may as well repost:

WGR personalities ranking because I'm on my lunch break:

1.) Howard Simon
2.) Bulldog
3.) Paul Hamilton
4.) Brian Koziel
5.) Jeremy White
6.) Schopp and Bulldogs producer with the horrible buffalo accent
7.) The emergency broadcast test sound
8.) Mike Schopp

same but price on him will be too high i think

They're different players,
so the best way is to compare what defines their productivity the best

The best way u can describe Versteeg is by his point total...
which is mediocre

The best way u can describe Kane, is as a goal scorer...
which is FAR above mediocre

What's this?

I honestly have no idea bro she got out of her car and just jumped in and I was watching lol


I'm guessing it's a drug drop

Nothing? Vegas is taking Murray.

Why is that the best way?

Seems like cherry picking.

You think Versteeg sucks. No sense in debating it.

Just playing devil's advocate...Goal scoring ability is more valuable than playmaking ability in this league. Didn't back read to hear the whole debate, but it seems as though some comparison is being drawn...not sure those two can be juxtaposed because Kane scores at such a higher rate.

As an example, would you rather have:
10g 30a - 40pts
30g 10a - 40pts

I think most will say the latter.

- sbroads24

That's not cherry picking
If I were to compare Versteeg's goals to Kane's,
That's cherry picking
Same way it is to compare points vs points

The best way to compare any player is by what they do best
For Versteeg, its points... which is mediocre

Your argument holds true that Kane's point totals are mediocre
However, he is a GOOD (at least) goal scorer

Versteeg can't be considered GOOD in any respect

No lol
- GERBE!!!75PTS

I meant Fluery. Sorry

Nothing? Vegas is taking Murray.
- Lilroot9

Are they though?
Or is it just assumed?

Just bc Fleury is willing to waive for Vegas doesn't mean they want him

McPhee could want Grubauer to be his starting goalie
Then he could take a defenseman from Pitt

habs need centers


big time


reinhart, borgen, gorges, fasching, second rd pick (wild) for

pacioretty and gallagher
- homiedclown

I would do that move so fast. But no way in hell Montreal goes for it. Basically we'd get a better Reinhart in Pacioretty and Gallagher a little poop who can score(Marchand lite in both senses he won't score as much, but he won't try and remove a guy's testicles with his stick either). For Reinhart, and a bunch of nobodies. Done done done.
