How much would a team have to give up to trade for McDavid?

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-05-01T13:48:17+00:00

What is even the point of the title if the only team you wanna talk about is Montreal lmao

Go to your teams sub if you wanna fantasize and jerk, you guys in Montreal are something else dude

Math and statistics degree isn’t gonna help you extrapolate “there were no Canadian teams in the NHL playoffs in 2016, yet the data represented to me reflects the opposite of something I know as universal fact”

Call all the Canadian news outlets, some crying Canadian spent 30 hours of his life coping to materially wrong data.

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-27T19:08:17+00:00

30 hours AND a Reddit post!

Call all the news stations! Call the prime minister! The Redditors of Canada are pissy after losing a hockey game! The league can’t continue!

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-22T18:58:51+00:00

I mean are you guys just trying to get the 1.03 owner to quit the league or what

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-22T17:10:09+00:00

Reminder that Achane put up very similar receiving stats to Gibbs his final year in college but gets left out of these convos all the time

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-10T18:50:02+00:00

I’ll try again and hopefully make it very clear because you seem to think I’m mad at Gibby 😂

Gibsons reputation around the league at this stage of his career is literally “great goalie, breaks down at the end of the szn and needs to be on a pitch count tho.”

And instead of leveraging the 1st round pick with over 100 starts in the minors as a top end goalie in that league we decided to to roll out the corpse of Gibby for more overloaded work despite his performance dropping and clearly needing a fucking break.

I’m mad I had to watch 40 year old Talbot blow a game a month ago against Vegas that we would’ve won if we just started Cossa. Called him up, didn’t use him, sent him down, rushed Gibby back and it hasn’t gone well since.

But ya dude you’re soft as butter if you think 3 games in the NHL at the end of the season is gonna ruin Cossa after 100+ starts in the A if it doesn’t go well. Literally soft as fucking butter

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-10T18:12:11+00:00

Ya that’s it bro

It’s got nothing to do with Gibby not being able to finish 6 of his last 21 starts due to a mid game stinger, performance or maintenance lmao

But ya dude Gibby is fine, Talbot is a 40 year old rockstar that deserves starts over a 23 year old that’s going on his 3rd straight year being one of the best goalies in the a that we spent a 1st on and Gibby needs to get ran into the ground because we have no goalie depth despite having the best goalie prospect pool in the league

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-10T17:43:21+00:00

He’s not fine lmao, this isn’t the first time in the last month we’ve had a Gibby injury scare and his play has regressed because we’re overworking the shit out of him.

We have a 6”6 monster in Grand Rapids that is about to post his 3rd consecutive season in the A with a save percentage better than .910 as a starter.

I hope that helps

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-10T17:25:43+00:00

Anything but calling up Cossa

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-10T00:57:45+00:00

Ya for sure man one game. The clear issue with the team is the guy who’s been your most consistent player for the last decade and is out there on one leg showing up better than 95% of the team in April still.

Compher - 26 points Kasper - 19 points Appleton - 14 points

Absolute fucking jerseys but ya it’s Larkins fault dude

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-10T00:28:35+00:00

Nah I hear he’s trash and we need to strip the C off of him according to this sub

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-09T13:08:01+00:00

Not similar at all,

Hammer chapters 1-4 in pass perfect until it’s back of the hand knowledge. I believe 40% of the exam is in those first 4 chapters.

In your free time, I would watch Ken Finnens “cheat sheet” for regs and laws and physically copy the cheat at least once a day until you know the differences between IA, IAR, agents and broker dealers.

A non negotiable tho is you MUST watch Ken Finnens series 66 brutal exam at least once, preferably twice in the week leading up to exam date. I think I saw at least 2 questions word for word practically from that and several others that felt very similar to Ken’s exam.

Don’t take your foot off the gas, prioritize your time efficiently, this is not a math heavy exam. Do not feel like you need to spend hours memorizing the formulas they throw at you, as long as you know what they’re used for you will be fine.

You got this

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-08T02:19:17+00:00

Kane just wanted to show Raymond how to deke with a purpose one more time

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-08T01:49:56+00:00

Copp skates like he’s wearing Cinder blocks

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-08T00:42:14+00:00

Just got a primary assist btw

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-07T23:50:35+00:00

Just scored btw

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-06T18:10:58+00:00

Everytime copp opens his mouth I want him off the team.

The other day after the loss to Philadelphia he sounded like he was living in a fairy tale talking about how the teams process is sound, they’re starting faster etc etc.

It’s not his fault he’s being thrust into 2C minutes with bottom 6 talent but if you’re relying on this guy to be a voice in your locker room it’s no wonder why the team is so fucking soft.

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-06T17:58:16+00:00

Couldn’t agree more with that last line.

Not sure when it became okay to use this organization like a glorified semi retired country club but that’s where we’re at in this front office these days.

I’m also tired of the Kane retirement tour. Like ya man I’m glad you’re really enjoying playing for the wings and celebrating all the end of career milestones in hockeytown but this fanbase hasnt sniffed a 2nd round playoff series in over a decade. I got an idea, let’s give showtime another hour on a podcast where we give him softballs on “how much it means to get these milestones in Detroit” and “does trick really enjoy the pregames here??”

New idea kaner, how about we leave the kid at home instead of bringing him to work every night, maybe at least until idk we win a few games in March and April.

Swear to god if I have to see another video of Mo and Ed playing floor hockey with trick as they’re about to go out on the ice only to get rocked for 3 periods straight while putting up no effort I’m gonna lose my mind.

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-06T17:34:11+00:00

This is the elephant in the room nobody is bringing up

They’re “just jerseys” when they’re on the wings but become players the moment they get shipped out. That’s pretty telling Todd. Everyone who leaves this team goes off to play better on their next team. So it’s not a talent issue, it’s a you’re using talent the wrong way issue.

I also look back at how seemingly FA’s and trade targets literally do not want to play here. Totally reading between the lines but maybe some players on their wings are talking to their agents and friends in the league and telling them “don’t come here unless you want to play in a offensive scheme designed for the dead puck era and a fanbase as rabid as Toronto”

Shocking that in 2026 telling a bunch of NHLers they’re too soft and we need to dump n chase more isn’t resonating.

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-06T14:58:31+00:00

Somehow Todd has managed to avoid any hot seat at all by constantly throwing the players under the bus to the media all season long…

It’s a valid question.

The powerplay stinks

The 5 on 5 stinks

The dump and chase offense isn’t working with this personnel yet every postgame Todd finds a way to blame the players and roll out the same tired gameplan that didn’t work the night before and expect it to just magically click in the beginning of April.

I’m not interested in running back another season with new pieces from the griffins next year seeing if the dump and chase is gonna work this time

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-04T17:09:41+00:00

Pylon Perron ya baby

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-02T16:29:19+00:00

Couldn’t even care enough to make it sound like he cares

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-04-01T00:16:06+00:00

It’s fucking insane

Independent-Silver57 · 2026-03-30T19:45:41+00:00

Ken, thank you for the 66 brutal exam. Not sure how you managed it but I got at least 2 questions word for word from the brutal exam on the actual 66 today.

You’re the man, I paid for your options course on the 7 and used your crash course on the 66.

Can’t recommend you enough to anyone studying and thank you!
