Maybe 12-15. Just off the top of my head: McDavid, Draisaitl, Kucherov, Tkachuk, McKinnon, Matthews, Pasternak, Panarin, Hughes and Barkov. I would even rather have Willie Ny and Pettersson.
- Minnyhock

Marner is better than Hughes. Panarin and Barkov.

The Flyers matchup horribly with the Rangers, not just this year but over the past few years. I think the Canes are a good matchup.
- jd250

Both teams are a tough matchup for the Flyers.

That being said, though I would love for the team to make the playoffs and get that experience for their younger players, as well get Torts another Jack Adams award, I don't want the playoffs on the horizon in any way influencing the decisions at the deadline. If the Flyers get their price, they need to pull the trigger. I think they will.
- jd250

When Tortorella doesn't win the Jack Adams. You'll say he's the winner anyway.

You mean the one that was set up by blatant interference by DeBrusk that was not called?
- jd250

Good goal, that's not interference. It wasn't called because it's not a penalty.

so you have no answer for my response to your answer. understood.

do you think it is safe to say RR was not successful as a net front presence.
- hello it's me 2050

Why do I need to give an answer for something that I’m aware of and you aren’t? It’s very simple. Ristolainen has played the point and net front presence for the Buffalo Sabres. Why would I look for dada for his success rate? If you already have the answer, provide it. If you don’t, do your own research.

More than likely any b-dman and depth you'd have traded Giroux for would have turned into similar "crap".

It's the same situation with Marner.

If you trade an elite player and don't receive one in return, it's usually regrets.

You've become a troll. Incapable of actually detailing why it's delusional. Only capable of rhetoric and name calling.

Case in point: Matthew Tkachuk trade.

I'm a big fan of Weegar, but even if Huberdeau didn't fall off the face of the earth there's no way Calgary could have ever hoped to win that trade. Meanwhile it basically catapulted Florida into contention.

You just don't trade elite players in quality for quantity deals.

Marner is better than Hughes.

you wonder why peeps barely respond to you? you are dumb.

you insinuated the flyers should use RR as a net front presence. I asked you why (fully aware it was tried in buffalo). your response was because he was used there. I then axed you if he was successful and if so how was he successful.

I pretty straight forward question. Yet once again you go round in circles full corky.

So i will ax you again. Was RR being used a net presence in buffalo a success?

defensemen always have a higher price tag than forwards.

Elaborate.
- GeorgeBailey

Marner is every bit as good as Hughes offensively and Marner is one of the best two way forwards in the entire league. Has been a finalist for the Selke award. Hughes is not.

Treivling was backed into a corner and had to make a trade, he did ok for the situation. And not to mention the team also just saw their other best player walk. Bad example.

Oh I’m dumb? Do you even know the definition of the word “ insinuated”? How does one insinuate and than go on to say “ fully aware it was tried in buffalo”.

do the world a favor and go get snipped. never procreate

Marner is better than Hughes. Panarin and Barkov.
- MJL

8th year in the NHL and hit 30 goals only twice playing with elite forwards. Barkov is better defensively and is really an elite defensive forward who scores a lot without playing with elites. Panarin and Hughes don’t have Matthews and Willy Ny. Panarin leaves room for debate but not Hughes.

Do yourself and favor and jump off a really high building. The world was done with you along, long time ago. Which would explain why all your closest friends are here.

Lol that’s a one for one bad trade

- Minnyhock

Marner has hit 90 plus points 3 times. Barkov once. Marner was a finalist for the Selke last season and is an elite defensive forward. Panarin and Hughes play with plenty of skilled high level players. Marner is better than Barkov because he is equal defensively and better offensively. Marner is better defensively than both Panarin and Hughes. Hughes may reach that uber elite level offensively in the future but until he does it and stays healthy, he is below Marner as a player.

It would have to be something like Stevens for Shanahan. You just don't see those kinds of trades very much. Not because neither player was worth who they were traded for. It's just requires two teams to match up perfectly in what they need.
- Tomahawk

Not splitting hairs here, but Stevens was the NHL's punishment for the Blues signing Shanahan... it wasn't a "trade" in the technical sense.

Oops, it was a bit before my time haha.

It just always sticks out in my mind as one of the few times when truly elite players were exchanged for each other.

lol
look at Lamont trying to cyber bully someone into killing themselves.

so was RR a successful next presence for buffalo when he was used in that capacity? it is ok to say you don't know.
