Kyrou trade speculation to ottawa

[SameOldBlues]

Good ole rollin is back to the point in his posting lifecycle where we are getting closer to his next meltdown, forum apology, ban or all of the above. For those of us who have been here as long as he has this stuff is like clockwork.

For a bit of posting recently he was being all deferential to other posters, open to other ideas etc. Clearly he was warned by the mods, for the 8 billionth time, to calm down. He calmed for a minute. And now? Back to his intentional horrible trolling takes "Thomas would be the 3rd line center on many teams, holloway is horrible, broberg blah blah blah etc etc" and back to fighting and bickering with just about the entire board in every freaking thread. The guy clearly gets off being contrarian because, tight life and all.

We've all seen this movie many times. Soon he's going to get banned again or we are going to see an apology post from him (I think we are at 3 or 4 of these historically) telling the board he will be a better person etc.

These goofs are nothing if not consistent.

Unfortunately this is a very clairvoyant forecast that’ll definitely come true, yet again. He’s cool to talk hockey with sometimes, but then I just ignore him when he’s on these LOOK AT ME cycles when Walgreens is out of his scripts.

I don’t care who we trade or to who we trade to…. We HAVE to get a number 2C to slot be hind #18!

Or you find a team with 2 number ones and move Thomas to the 2nd line where he actually belongs.

Wrong.

Look Ace. Fact is on most teams Thomas is a 2C and a on a few he’s a 3C or plays wing.

It’s ok to acknowledge that. Even Armstrong said we value Thomas more than everyone else

The only team in the league you could say Thomas is a 3C on is the Oilers. You couldn’t name 16 teams (most teams) where Thomas would be a 2C.

Dallas, Nashville, Tampa, Oilers, just off the top of my head. Where he’d be a 3C.

Nashville? Thomas is the 1C there. Please name 2 centers better than him on that team...
Tampa? I'll give you Point but Thomas and him are very close. Thomas is better than Cirelli

And again - your claim was Thomas is a 2c on the most teams. Shocker you can't name those teams...

Stamkos, O’Reilly.

I disagree on Cirelli.

and I already NAMED the teams last week.

I mean looking at line combos, he’s easily a 2C on a lot of teams. He’d be a winger on Buffalo. He’s not better than Tage Thompson, Konsta Helenius, or Josh Norris.

Carolina he’s a winger or doesn’t even make the team.

Dude you just say things for a laugh. You are naming primary wingers and saying they would push thomas down. You are just trolling to troll.

If you’ve got a problem with this list. Talk to Puck Pedia. They have lineups for every team with a full roster (meaning healthy)

I can’t help that you don’t like facts.

So you don't actually know then.

Is Brayden Point truly better? Both he and Thomas played the same amount of games, and you could easily argue the Bolts are more loaded than the Blues, yet Point put up just 50 points on a 106 point team and Thomas came in w/a PPG on an 87 point team.

The Lightning haven’t won a Playoff Series since Stamkos was still on the team

Yeah I don't know - why I said it's close. The guy saying Thomas is a 3C is just a troll, and I need to ignore.

Why would i take it up wirh puck pedia? They are not the ones making this ignorant list. They are just the culprit who told you a player took a faceoff or telling you possible line combinations. If you have to google a team to see who their centers are, then you dont have a educated opinion. Why? Because you had to be educated to have a educated opinion.

Last I checked, centers take face offs….

The top 50 centers in the league by faceoffs took 990 or more. Stamkos was ranked 108th in total faceoffs taken. Stamkos was fourth on his own team in faceoffs taken. Is Stamkos a 4c?

[sdaltons]

Thomas had 64 points in 64 games and finished +22. 14 points on the PP and 3 while shorthanded.

Stamkos had 66 points in 82 games and was -17. 26 points on the PP and 0 while shorthanded.

Correct. Stammer has played mostly on the wing the last 3-4 years now. He’s still good at faceoffs though so makes sense to use him there but then he switches to wing after the draw as he’s just not a very good C defensively. Was never his strong suit but now that he’s in his mid-30s, it makes more sense to use him as a top line with not having to worry much about defense.

I guess I'd prefer my C to be a guy who can be used in all situations and puts up a strong +/- against the best players on other teams.

Seems a much more well-rounded player than a guy who put up .5 PPG at even strength and split time between C and RW.

You're wrong, as always, but as you say, why admit a mistake?
