Is that douche bag Bleach Clean - Melvin? Formerly Butt Gillis? I don’t see Melvin the Muffin posting anymore

No. Bleach Clean was Ronning on Empty. And I think he might be Ronning’s Ghost on this board. He won’t confirm or deny this.
So now he’s comparing the potential haul that the Sabres may get for Eichel to the bounty the Nordiques extracted for Eric Lindros. He fails to mention that was an epic ass ramming that the Nords put on Philly.
He now thinks Vancouver should trade Horvat, Boeser, Podkolzin, a top 10 pick, Stecher and Demko for Alexis Lafreniere.

Ahhhh that twat. Makes total sense now. The Nordiques didn’t exactly rape the Flyers although I’d take Forsberg alone over Lindros
Ricci never met his draft hype, a bit of an underwhelming career. Duschene? Hextall? Weren’t they old men at the time of the trade? Huffman? Meh. The 93 first round pick - 10th overall used to select Thibault. Yuk. Chris Simon the future consideration was decent I suppose. The 94 first round pick 10th overall - Baumgartner - yuk.
The best parts
Forsberg
Simon
Ricci
The rest don’t register all that much with me. Maybe the $15 million cash?? Philly didn’t lose badly IMO certainly nowhere near what we’d lose in Ronning On Empty’s delusional Eichel Trade.

Keep in mind the Nords flipped Hextall for Deadmarsh and Thibeault for Roy and Keane. Simon has a long career and so did Ricci. Duchesne was good for a few more years.

Yeah forgot about those flip trades. Ricci had a very underwhelming career after his draft hype. He benefitted from his surroundings. Simon had some good moments, tough as nails. But the combination of Forsberg, Simon, Ricci, Roy and Deadmarsh definitely played key roles in the Avalanches elite years

I’m a huge fan of Lafreniere but that six player package for him would be wayyyy too much. On hfboards trade section they had an interesting thread with the premise of which players on your team would you not trade for Lafreniere. Obviously guys like Crosby, Ovi and Malkin aren’t moving but Vancouver was one of the few teams that had two players (Hughes, Petey) I wouldn’t trade for Lafreniere when I did a mock list. Colorado has three guys (Mackinnon, Makar, Rantanen) . It probably deserves its own thread. Overall there’s maybe 20 or 25 guys in the league that I wouldn’t trade for him considering age, position etc.

I think Lafrenierre is a great winger to be, time will tell how good he will be, how “generational” he will be. Right now he strikes me as Marian Hossa type, a Swiss Army knife type of player - good in every area of the game, not just your prototypical winger, in which is no slight to Lafrenierre because I think Hossa was an extremely under appreciated player. It’s in mr opinion that we already have that type of player in JT Miller who has elevated his game to such a degree that potentially will be to us what Hossa, Lafrenierre is to their teams.

I have him a cut above Hossa, but it’s a decent comparison. I feel he will be a perennial 90 -100 point player for 10-15 years. I see him as top 10 player in the league. JT Miller while having blossomed into a very good player at 27, is almost a decade older than Lafreniere.
