Trade #1 OA for #6 OA and Fabbri!

61 points in 69 games is not a 68 point pace it is a 72/73 point pace
- Stripes77

Great, sorry. So it’s still less than 77 and 62 is less than 72/73 correct?

If you're going to complain about a 4 point drop I am sure as poop going to give you a hard time when you say his production is dropping...

If you wanted to say last season was big drop then sure.

He went from a mid 70's per season player to a low 60's point player.

But seriously going from 77 to 73 points is not a OMG the sky is falling drop

Calgary has been a tire fire for that exact amount of time, too. All of them had down seasons the past couple years.

I’m not trading 1OA for Tkachuk and a Mid first.

He’s also a headcase

It’s a hard no for me

He looked like a superstar winger a few years ago.

Now he looks like a good winger that’s also a headache to deal with

True or false, he’s produced less each of the past few seasons?

True or false you thought he dropped by 9 points prior and now you're just holding firm with your initial stance even though your math was wrong...

He's been on a 72 point average per 82 games throughout the last 3 years...

This last season was a down year where he was on a 63 point pace

Gotta remember he played 69 game before the season was stopped for Covid and had 61 points at the time

He's a child on ice hard pass.

He is a poop stirrer I will give you that...

Perhaps that's is something this team needs?

Trade the First overall for tom wilson , mantha.

You said less productive

You're arguing semantics over going from a 77 point player to a 73 point player

If you wanted to say his production this year turned you off so be it, but nobody is going to say he he was a less productive yet still over 70 point winger...

Uh, except his last season was a 62 point one.

And I don’t even care about the points. His metrics have been worse too

He’s not the superstar he looked like

Hes a good player

There’s way too many issues/hurdles for me to trade 1OA for him

It’s a hard pass

If they gave up something else I’d be more inclined

Anyone else wish they’d just get this over with?

Realistically, if they are chasing futures the organization won’t know if they won for 2/3 years.

What defines right in the scenario?

1st rnd pick, either good young roster player plus a top 5 prospect or 2 of your top 5 prospects.

He would be a fantastic add, and would help at the box office.
- Buff36

He's got 2 seasons left before becoming a UFA, similar to Reinhart before last season, except his QO is big at $9M.

Are you committing a big time contract to him shortly after he arrives? If not, trading for him makes little sense.

Even if you are committing a big contract to him and he'd sign it, I'm not sure it's a great idea 💡.

Two hard working gritty proven players could help this team moving forward.

- Buff36

Sound like the Sabres at all? Actually, the Sabres have been far worse.

You're going to trade for him, commit a big contract to him (or why bother trading for him), and hope he turns things around on the Sabres who have been a tire fire for a decade.

Does any of the above sound like a plan that will work out well?

If it's a team's 4th and 5th ranked prospect, it's a swift no on the deal.
