[kimmer]

Confirmed. Shiv wins easily here. Nice work

[Nick]

Approved.

[Robin Hood]

Not sure how Paul thinks I win. But sure lol

[kimmer]

Stats-wise, Filppula is on pace for 75 pts
Mikko alone will NOT outproduce Filppula + Cizikas

[hong57]

HMMMM like it for nick coz stats wise he barely lose anything to gain consistency in perhipery and scoring..

paul doing it for his rebuild, nice! I don't think he can ever get a 1st overall pick with filipula.. and not to say he get a 3rd round pick as well! Maybe Yak's value just drops..?

shiv gains stats too from mikko to filipula and gets cicikas in which he's trying to get a dman for it already...

so it's a win-win-win situation!!

[kimmer]

lol hong, buddy, you would've probably rejected Zajac for Filppula. You're a slow horse bro!

[hong57]

thank me.. i didn't respond so you can get yakupov, which is better than getting zajac

[Arian The Insider]

boom or bust for paul

i like it

[cliff11]

lol hong, buddy, you would've probably rejected Zajac for Filppula. You're a slow horse bro!

how is hong a slow horse?

[cliff11]

solid deal all around

[KapG]

Filp for yak?

Huh?

Yaks got potential I guess. Russian tho..

^ of ALL gm's in bbkl, it's you who I expect you to doubt this trade for me lol. It's understandable.

[Robin Hood]

The way the playoffs work now, there is an Atlantic Bracket and a Metropolitan Bracket.

I won't face Nick and Mike both in any situation. I can only face one and that will be in the conference finals. I was okay with losing on Mikko here to give Nick a better shot at beating Mike in Round 2 of the playoffs. I'd much rather face Nick as I match-up better with him I think. Still an underdog to both so the logic is kind of silly. But meh.

You just gave up a whole lot of value for a player who is performing not so well. Only got a third added on too. Its no surprise shiv and nick were all over this...

I would have thought fillpulla would be worth more.

You make out like a bandit here. For an injured player too.

Crazy under-value of Yak by Kap.kid is a goal scorer set to really light the lamp.


#1 rookie scorer last year in goal and points.

5g 6pts in last 8 games, +3, tons of hits and sog - and still in limited toi .


I'm a huge mikko fan, and not a big believe in Flip (hence, I did not do that deal).


Good sign when all 3 GMs are happy with the deal.


I asked myself if I would trade this year's #1 for mikko and the answer was still a yes, kinda shows where I value him.

I think trading this years number 1 for Mikko would be a no brainer period lol. h2h beast and proven producer.

[KapG]

When yak starts playing better we will talk. So far he's been quite underwhelming.

No brainer trade atm for you too.

I'd rather Sam Reinhart on my team. Koivu's more useful at this point though, just believe Reinhart will = Koivu in not too long.
Would mention Ekblad but they're less comparable.
