Official 2013-2014 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

I guarantee you the Rangers would swap Stepan for about at 15 different number one centers in the NHL(Claude Giroux, Sidney Crosby, John Tavares, Nicklas Backstrom, Jason Spezza, Steven Stamkos, Pavel Datsyuk, Ryan Johansen, Matt Duchene, Jonathan Toews, Eric Staal, Mikko Koivu, Anze Kopitar, Logan Couture, Joe Thornton, Ryan Kesler, Ryan Getzlaf) - that's about 17 guys who are either number one centers in the NHL or play as a number one center on their team, so Derek Stepan is probably in the bottom 1/3rd of centers as number ones in the NHL

I'm not judging him harder, it's just the truth - he's good, not great

Did you really just compare him to Crosby, Giroux and Tavares? Come on. Okay, so bottom 3rd doesn't make him not be a number 1 Center. Fact of the matter is, he is. Couts and Schenn are not.

Argh. I went to that one based on a link in a tweet from MacKenzie. But yeah, that's the fake fucker. Didn't even notice the low follower count.

Which makes this almost pointless:

DON'T SCARE ME.

I'm making the point that you think he's really good, so I named you all the guys who I think are better than him - you have to realize that just because he plays as a number one center on your team doesn't mean he is a number one based on his skill, if he was some of those other teams he's not a number one center - that's why you have to temper things sometimes with him - he's not great, he's good

I didn't say Couts and Brayden Schenn were number ones either, but your point that you would take Stepan over those two any day of the week is coming off as somewhat baseless - it's your opinion, but it seems baseless and it makes it seem like you are discounting those two guys

WPG and SJ have had some discussions on Devin Setoguchi returning to Sharks. Let's see if it gets done. #tsn #Tradecentre

Bob McKenzie just deleted the tweet where he directed everyone to the fake LeBrun.



This shit is confusing enough without those retards throwing in their $.02

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

lmao ... Stepan has what a handful more points this season than Schenn/Couturier

Schenn/Couturier are younger bigger and play a harder game ... take them 7 days a week over Stepan

Yet, neither of the 2 warrant the offense of two top 10 picks

Stepan has produced far better than both of them.

Flyers and Jets talking trade again. Hearing Evander Kane's name again.

#bluejackets Gaborik name picking up steam. Now becoming a cheaper alternative for a few teams looking for scoring like the #Kings.

I think that's what the blue check mark next to the name is too. That's how they verify that it's the real deal and not the obnoxious fake.

I have a feeling Eklund owns that fake Lebrun handle

What does everybody have against tires today anyway???

 

[KennyBanyeah]

I'm hearing that the Panthers are kicking Roberto Luongo who is kicking the guy who is pumping Tim Thomas's tires.

@Sean_Leahy
I just kicked an actual tire. Not recommended.
