Package: Talbot, N. Schultz, Cooke, 1st CGY 2016

[CasperX22]

Cock blocked nothing. He didn't want Hossa. Hossa is still on the block if anyone wants to make an offer.

Actually, Casper and I have discussed this deal in detail and I don't agree with any of you. This is not a slam post. Some things to consider:

Hossa is 36.
Next year, Hossa will be 37
If you truly believe in player attrition, 37 is a deadly age to be at
Which would be okay if I win this year, but I don't think I'm close to a favourite
Not to mention 3 roster players for 1 is usually a bad deal unless the 1 player is significantly better
Cooke is 37 but Schultz and Talbot are 30/31 and have many years of solid periph production left
I'd much rather move the package for a younger player who is worse than Hossa
I do believe Hossa is an "exception" but given players like MSL, Selanne, Alfie, Lidstrom, Chara, Timonen, Elias to name just a few elite players who have had their stats attrition off does not make me trust Hossa's production for more than 1-2 eyars.
CGY's pick will be 16-24...I believe I can find a solid player there who will likely be worth more than Hossa at the draft next year.

FYI - I love Hossa as a player and will likely pay for him in the future so again, not a slam post. He's a championship piece. Just does not have many years left.

the players your offering have less hockey in them than Hossa. That's the difference.

the only piece of any value is that 1st, and that flames team will be top 3 or 4 in the west, so it will be in the 20 range.

On having "less hockey" -- you have not read up on any stats regarding attrition then.
On being in the 20s -- sure, I can find a great player there. I believe in my drafting.

This is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile, when was your last draft pick?

Many people don't know this, but there was a time when my team was all draft picks and prospects. I drafted deep in the 2011 draft I think? Players I took in late rounds: Gudas, Mark Stone. Had like 7 1st round picks.

I just don't like putting in that time. But I will now. I think it's the way to win in this league.

If you're talking about 2011 you had 3 of the top 5 picks, not really a big skill drafting that high

Basically ignored the Gudas/Stone points to be a troll huh? Cool.

Its pretty difficult to rationalize giving up a 1st for a 36 yr old winger, imo, unless one is absolutely ready to compete. Like, the last piece.
