Some dope said trade pastrnak for doughty, it only makes sense, and my response was why trade a young promising winger for a defensemen who some say McAvoy COULD become. Throwing doughty's accomplishments out there is buffoonery, McAvoy has been in the league for 2 weeks. Every player who gets drafted has a comparable based on what they bring to the table.

This is the only thing I could find. Not sure if this is credible website or not. Also prospects are a gamble not a garuntee. IDGAF who said it. Pump the brakes on that nonsense until he has a season under his belt.

Judging by your last statement, you may be missing the concept of a comparable. Nobody is saying McAvoy is Doughty RIGHT NOW. Here's a couple of sources for you:

Who compared McAvoy to Doughty? Or are you just making stupid poop up?
- glove_was_stuck

Pierre Mcguire did. Then he also said Colin White is comparable to Bergeron. Chabot comparable to Paul Coffey. Anders Bjork compares to Peter Forsberg. So...there's that.

Why is throwing out his accomplishments buffoonery...Isn't that exactly what you hope to get out of him?

you won't...by the way.

Because you laughed off a McAvoy comparable, by sharing doughty's accomplishments over almost a 10 year career to a kid who has been in the league for a playoff series (where he pretty much carried them defensively, by the way). Maybe he will, maybe he won't, but your two cents about him are about as valuable as the dump i took this morning.

McAvoy will never be as good as Doughty. I'd bet my house on that.

Here's how good Drew Doughty is (since derp is ongoing):

- IMO the most complete defenseman in the NHL (many agree).
- Made it to the NHL as an 18-year old.
- Nominated for a Norris trophy as a 19-year old.
- Won the Stanley Cup as a 22-year old (and at 24).
- Two Olympic Gold Medals by 24.
- Has missed a total of 16 games in 9 NHL seasons while being considered one of the best all-around defensemen in the league for most of those 9 seasons.

McAvoy is negative-75 games into the "Doughty potential projection".

there are at least 6 sources saying that McAvoy is comparable

therefore, McAvoy for Norris 2018

LA doesn't even come close to having the assets to pull this off

Prospects = NO
Players = NO
Picks = La doesn't suck enough for their 1st to be that valuable

Sure, twist everyone else's words to fit your stupid narrative. Nobody said McAvoy was winning the Norris... nobody said McAvoy is Drew Doughty. Someone questioned that there were people other than "Bruins fans" saying McAvoy's ceiling was Drew Doughty... so I gave them some examples.

Why can't everyone on the internet not be a troll all the time.

Fluto Shinzawa? I didn't see it. It would be very consistent with the Bruins history of picking big lumbering slugs like Backes over the talented scoring wingers. However Sweeney has been saying he wants a faster, transition type of team. Trading PAstrnak flies in the face of that.

Pay Pastrnak.
Stop paying the Backes' and Beleskeys of the world.

- glove_was_stuck


Yeah Fluto was on NHL Tonight and said he talked with Bruins brass shortly before the show and had be told Pasta was going nowhere
