Pietrangelo Watch

TSN just asked the question that I've been considering myself on this board, as unpopular as it was.

Do you move out one of the 'top 4' in order to bring him aboard?

The ONLY answer to that question is another question...

Does acquiring Alex Pietrangelo (at the cost of one of those forwards) improve the teams chances of winning the cup?

If the answer is YES, than you HAVE to take that chance.

What did Dubas say or is that what he said?

Dubas hasn?t said anything yet to my knowledge. I was just paraphrasing what TSN said that I wholeheartedly agreed with.

Like Herman said , this AP thing is likely holding up the whole league right now .

If we're operating under the assumption that that the better a team is the better chance they have of winning a cup, isn't that question the basis for every single move ever made by every team?

Not sure what your point is relating to the context that was outlined ?
 
"Does acquiring [Target Player] (at the cost of one of those [current asset(s)]) improve the teams chances of winning the cup?
If the answer is YES, than you HAVE to take that chance."

Applies to every trade/signing situation. Not unique to Toronto's.
 
It's bad enough having to wait for AP to sign somewhere, but if i have to watch that "Your pants are weird" commercial one more time, I'm going to scream.

Agreed. I'm just not sure what the significance of pointing this out makes? Doesn't make it any less true.

I guess I was a little confused as to why that question would need to be emphasized when, again, I feel like it's at the heart of the discussion of any move a team might make.

Yeah. Like I said I was basically just paraphrasing TSN here.

My kids love that commerical lol
 
I guess my other thing is that the question of:

Does acquiring Alex Pietrangelo (at the cost of one of those forwards) improve the teams chances of winning the cup?

Is actually a really complicated question because so much goes into what makes a hockey team marginally better than a different iteration of itself. I think that's why a lot of discussion here is so granular, because we're trying to answer that larger question but it's frequently not as simple as yes or no.

You're weird for thinking it's weird.

I like the "your girlfriend looks like mom" one.
