OK.  Fine.  I admit I was wrong ... in thinking you were all clever enough to get it without extra explanations.

That's a funny way of saying, "I made a kind of silly point, then when it was pointed out that I was being kind of silly, changed my point entirely as a way of saving face and am now blaming the intelligence of my audience for my silliness and lack of clarity."

Right you are, my good man.

You said it brah.

Me and a buddy were talking and decided the following. I realize this is super hb, but it's just for fun.

Sens trade Ceci and a 1st for Big Buff at the deadline. Trade Wier, Zib, pick for Duchene. Sign Goligoski. Trade 9MM for picks.

Hoffman-Turris-Stone
MacArthur-Duchene-Ryan
Lazar-JGP-Chiasson
Puempel-Smith-Prince

Methot-Karlsson
Goligoski-Byfuglien
Boro-Wideman

Anderson
Hammond

Now everyone can tell me why this won't work, but I don't care. I like it.

Parade lineup right there. As that other fella would say, LET'S DO IT!!!

Jumpin' Jiminy!

that's expensive for a rental. big buff is a UFA at the end of the year. all they would likely get is a 1st and maybe a prospect.

Ummm...this is my dream world. Clearly we resign him for 5x$7M. Goli for $5.5, Hoffman signed for $4, etc.

so this all happens for next year? what happens to cowen? does he play top 4 left for the rest of the season?

It happens this year and next. The trade for Buff happens at the deadline. The trade for Duchene happens next week. The Goli signing is the first one announced on July 1. Cowen gets moved for a chicken dinner with an extra side of gravy.

You're right. This happens on HF. Or worse HB.
Good luck with that.

Have the trades begun yet?

I really like the idea of getting Byfuglien, but you better believe he's set on going to free agency. Honestly, anything that involves changes to the D sounds good right now. Wiercioch and Ceci last night were...not great.

Not sure if you're trolling me or just plain ignoring what I actually wrote.

I don't know what your point was, so interpret my post accordingly.

Le "sigh"

It's a well established fact that offensive numbers are usually inflated in the Q. A fact underscored by seeing the great offensive stats Perron has and then further noticing that there are still 2 players with even greater offensive numbers.

So, not saying he is garbage, but just tempering the level of excitement by reminding every one that offensive numbers in the Q tend to be exaggerated.

That said, he is still third in the league, which is not too shabby. However he is 3rd in a league which is one of a half-dozen similar-level leagues around the world. Again, this does not, in any way, say that Perron is "garbage" -- all I am doing is tempering expectations away from the hyperbole.

You're good!

But I am better

He might stay if we let him have the Cup a couple extra days.
