Zodijackylite posted:I would also like a lot of good players for under market value, but I really hope the Rangers go wild in trying to acquire good players under age 27. Considering the going rate for guys like Hall, Eberle, and Hamonic, I'm hoping they work some magic with someone like Galchenyuk or Mackinnon or Landeskog. i'd love to pull in one of those guys also, but i'm not enamored of the price we'd have to pay to do so. if next year's draft is as good as they say it is i don't want to drop a first, and i don't think we really have anyone on the roster that is worth moving with the exception of hayes*, and even if we moved him we'd still need a stopgap to fill one of our center positions. an old dude who can still play on a short deal would be a good way to fill out one of those C holes, i think. that being said neither gagner are bonino are very old *i, personally, would like to trade chris krieder for value but i think that's unrealistic. the organization obviously loves him and sees him as a cornerstone guy. i personally don't think he contributes very much and would be a prime sell high candidate, but i strongly doubt that will happen.

Yeah he's a compiler, whoopee 600 goals and he had 53 once, then 41 and 40 despite playing in the most ridiculous scoring era of all time. Never hit 100 points either. Come on. Kariya is a PPG player and he was a dead puck era guy. Andreychuk? 0.816

Andreychuk was a one dimensional winger whose best seasons were spent tapping in back door power play goals from Lafontaine and Gilmour. That said I do not know if this qualifies him for the hall of fame as I do not understand how the hall of fame works.

Andreychuk annoys me for coming back after the lockout instead of retiring after captaining Tampa to the cup. Did playing 1600 games really matter that much Dave? He should probably be in the hall though. There's still something to be said for playing for a long time and being consistently good. Selanne and Alfredsson should be in long before him though.

Playing 1600 games or whatever andreychuk did is a terrific accomplishment that I'm not trying to minimize but arguing he was a better player than Neely is pretty stupid, and if you're going to go after guys who actually don't belong in the hall can we please start with Gillies? In conclusion Geoff Sanderson belongs in the hall.

He was never the best player on his team or even his line (getting to play with Lafontaine, Turgeon and Gilmour). If he never played with Gilmour during Gilmour's best years than no one would care about him at all. He was terrible defensively and mediocre 5-on-5. For a guy who's case is 100% his goal scoring he only had 2 years in the top 10, both when Gilmour was carrying him, finishing 9th and 4th. He finished 9th and 16th in points and otherwise always out of the top 20 in scoring. He had a lot of really crappy 20 goal/30 point seasons at the end of his career where he'd get to much power play time, which added 120 goals and 200 points when he was not a contributing player, and brings him from Pat Verbeek level of scoring. Related: Pat Verbeek was better than him. He gets a lot of credit for his Cup run in Tampa, when he scored 1 goal in the playoffs and was not one of the 10 best players on his own team. He benefited from playing in a very high scoring era, from getting to play with really good centres who all did well without him and from sticking around for 7 years after he was any good. He was never one of the best players in the league. If Andreychuk were the best player on your team, your team was not making the playoffs. Ciccarelli and Nieuwendyk were already bad choices but I think Andreychuk would be a few rungs lower. Of eligible forwards who have had to wait awhile Recchi and Kariya should be far far ahead. Mogilny and Turgeon, neither of which I would really care to induct, should be far ahead. Propp and Middleton should be ahead, and by then we've inducted about 100 forwards from the 80's and 90's.

That's a pretty disappointing way to end a career considering he could've walked into the sunset holding the cup over his head. The 05/06 season is a treasure trove for old players who came back for one last chance: Lemieux, Andreychuk, Leetch, Mogilny, Palffy, Hull, Robitaille, and Yzerman are the eight best, but then you have Domi, Desjardins, Primeau, Zhamnov, Cassels, Scott Young, and Odelein. Also, sorry to bring up Andreychuk everyone. I think he'll eventually make it in even though I have no strong opinion. Ciccarelli kind of opened the door for him.

Duckman2008 posted:Yeah, I think for Flyers fans this isn't a surprise. Schenn has been, at best invisible on 5-5 for multiple seasons, so a lot of people have soured on him. Schenn for 2 first round picks is a win. The Flyers better not put Lehtera on a line with any speed because he drags everyone else down. He's a good defensive center, but his conditioning is among the worst in the league and it becomes incredibly obvious a month into the season. Look at his numbers last year and realize he spent most of it playing with Schwartz and Tarasenko.

Andreychuk played with Turgeon, Perrault, Housley, Vaive, and a young Mogilny. FWIW, I think both Neely AND Andreychuk belong in the hall. I think punishing Neely for being a victim of cheap shots when he was clearly a world class goal scorer is dumb.

The reason people tend to think Hasek was significantly better than Brodeur is that Hasek was good wherever he went once he became a starter, and Brodeur's numbers seemed to be dependent on the quality of New Jersey's defence, especially in his later years. I think Brodeur belongs in the hall, because he was very good for a long time. But I'd rather have Hasek. Keep in mind I think Hasek's a contender for GOAT at his position.
