Personally I love the trade. Reaves is a legit tough guy that can actually play. He's also deceptively fast as fuck. God damn twitter was a magical place last night.

>>76746366

I really hope somebody offer sheets McMeme next offseason when his ELC expires so the Oilers either lose him or go to cap hell a few years early

>>76746577
reaves is a good player but i'm 100% he could have been had for much less. even a first is way too much to pay up for him

>>76746628

Anyone who offer sheets McMeme instantly alienates the majority of other GMs.

Do any of the Canadian teams actually give a fuck about those retards?

It feels like those retards are always trying to insert themselves and pretend like they're part of rivalries but nobody really cares.

>>76746652
Depends how much each team valued him. Blues did choose to protect him over Perron. Armstrong even said if Rutherford had approached him the day of the draft about Reaves he would've said no. Plus Pens coaching staff seem estatic about getting him.

>>76746715
>>76746777

You're certainly alienating Chiarelli but why would the other franchises care? If anything, you would be helping every other team in the West by hamstringing Edmonton. Teams don't send offer sheets often because you are basically giving away your future if the player accepts, not because it will make the other GM butthurt. But McMeme might be worth surrendering a gorillion first round picks, especially if you think McMeme will put you over the top and all those will be late picks. And if Edmonton meets the offer sheet they are in cap hell.

>>76746908

Because they have no way of guaranteeing you're not going to fuck THEM in the future, too. You'll instantly lose all trust with every other GM running a team, especially when it's basically an unspoken agreement/honor rule to not fuck each other over. I know you're socially retarded, but this stuff isn't complicated.

>>76746934

Then what is the point of even keeping offer sheets around? Just get rid of them if every GM has an unwritten agreement to never use them.

>>76744754

Goalies employ better styles of goaltending than they did in the 80's and they had smaller padding back then to.

Also more teams started using trap in 90's

It's business, boyo. Did people boycott Paul Holmgren when he offer sheeted Shea Weber out the ass, who was Nashvilles franchise icon and best player and ended up binding them to that outrageous contract? I get it, McMeme
is another territory, but cmon, if a team is close to contention and has the cap for it, they will probably do it.

he literally has a nigger-tier dad
>In October 1997, Ryan's father, Bob Stevenson, an insurance company owner, badly beat Ryan's mother, Melody, in a drunken rage, leaving her hospitalized with four broken ribs, a skull fracture and a punctured lung. Ryan's father was charged with attempted murder and jumped bail, fleeing to Canada. His son and wife later forgave and joined him on the lam in Canada, living under assumed names. The family eventually relocated to El Segundo, California so that Ryan could play in an elite youth hockey feeder system. In February 2000, Ryan's father, who had been supporting the family as a professional gambler, was arrested at home by the United States Marshals Service.[5]

Reaves can play 9-12min a game so that's abit more than 4th line enforcer. He can legit play. Sundqvist he was given tons of chances but his speed and hands are atrocious. Pens have been wanting him to build up muscle for the last 3yrs because he would get out muscled even in pre season. Didn't help that Rowney and from what it looks like Simon jumped Sundqvist in the depth chart for center.

>>76749262
He's a steal more the less from how stupid jarmo is at drafting. You pick dubuois over a Finnish tough guy who could score a lot and hit hard if he's trained right. He's still young, but we will have to wait and see

Also depends what they do in free agency. I feel Bonino is gone like I have a feeling MTL is gonna throw 5mil at him cause they'll think he's a bonifide 2nd line center. I'm looking for the Pens to sign Boyle. With trading Sundqvist makes me think that Cullen is coming back. I also look for them to sign Kulikov cause they seem to really like project dmen. Schultz, Cole, Daley. They've also shown interest in Kulikov before.

Unironically the fall of Communism. Same deal with the Czechs/Slovaks. Eastern Europe is poor as fuck and national sport programs really used to make all the difference. Even Hossa admitted that it's no longer affordable to play hockey since the fall of communism.

KHL is making the NHL super butthurt.
Too many Russian players have been lured back home with competitive contracts and the NHL is getting bootyblasted about it.

However its understandable, could you imagine investing millions of dollars and years of time into developing a player who then uses his reputation to sign a big contract back in Russia and complete shit on you?
That butthurt is why Russians are falling out of favor.

Meanwhile nobody wants to live in Finland, so Finns are a really safe bet.

>>76753848

It's not like Russia is paradise. Finns don't go back to play in their league because it's several tiers below the NHL. The KHL can offer yuge contracts.

If the players find success in the NHL and internationally, sure. The Yankee Doodie that replied to you called Swedes massive bandwagoners, but what you have to realise is that Swedes don't have a personal connection to any north American teams. Swedish star players finding success with a team creates an interest which leads to a personal connection, which naturally leads to new fans.
