A lot of deadline players are like trash you put out at a garage sale.

...but NO value at all?  Not a 5th, not a 6th?  Nothing?  Because we're not qualifying him for 2.7 million or whatever it is this summer, so we just let a UFA walk for all intensive purposes.

Oh well..

Couldn't a Pirri for Wiercioch have worked...??...

tim1_2 wrote:Honestly, not much point dealing Wiercioch!h for  5th rounder. Let him play out the year, maybe he gets a bunch more games in and he becomes tradeable at the draft...I dunno, I wouldn't be over the moon just dealing him for a 5th.

Michallica wrote:Stevie Y not trading Drouin should do nothing but reduce his trade value considering the guy will not be getting off his couch the rest of the season.  

That said, he'll defi be traded for someone's first rounder at the draft.

They might be all challenged.  More to come...

Twitter's even worse, if you can believe it.

Yeah, Twitter is the same way right now (lead by notorious critic 6th Sens). It's sad. Murray added Phaneuf which is good going forward. See what we do at forward in the off season and then maybe whine.

By not playing again this year, it pushes out his UFA by a year, which could actually increase his trade value.

League has asked teams to wait until completion of trade call(s), which have taken longer than had anticipated. https://t.co/JK6Ae7fshi

Listen, other GMs don't highly value Wiercioch or Prince because they're just not that good.

Murray did absolutely fine leading up to the deadline. There wasn't much to be done, and no sense overpaying for anyone.

And then we get this little tweet:

Could mean nothing in the end...

Those stats are rubbish because you did not assess his game time for opponents faced and extended play fatigue. Truth be told stats never tell the real picture and are in no way the real indicate what a player is. That's the big problem I have with the analytical community. They have failed to use them as a complimentary tool and have adopted them as the end all be all.


I liked Prince but there's a mid point.

Show me in which way he was better than, say, Lazar?
