Thread: move on from the core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>a bad expensive 6th defender, a bad expensive back up and the rights to a middling 3rd liner and all the leafs need to add to a top line 2 way 90 point player is a 1st?
wow, what a deal.
and dont forget you some how kept the defensive penalty disaster in domi and a guy who shoots the puck like his stick is made out of dried spaghetti in the playoffs in bertuzzi!</div></div>

I agree with you the trade is rubbish but unless Marner somehow does somthing tomorrow night and beyond he has little value...Marchand is twice (to be kind) the player Marner is in every way at just over half the cap hit! Marner is way way overrated imho...on the flip side the guy could use a change of scenery to reinvent himself...like Hyman, Kadri, Marchment, Joashua, etc have

Thread: Kyle Dubas Would Be A G for this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>python3504</b></div><div>i never understood why players dont do this more, say sid next season says ill do the same thing they would get a kings ransom for him and they would still have him.</div></div>

They don't do it because of the risks involved. If any word leaks out that a player has this kind of agreement, his value is completely tanked and no one is going to trade anything of value for him. Say Guentzel did something like this and word leaked, other GM's will know he's not signing with their team and would be a pure rental, so you're probably only gonna get like a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him maximum. Under the table contract agreements also run the risk of the league finding you guilty of tampering and punishing you for it with major fines, loss of draft picks, and potential voiding of the signing all together. It's a very risking play as one slip of the tongue can completely derail the plan and leave you 5 steps backwards instead of forwards.

Thread: (ANA/CAR/TOR) - Lyubushkin for Slepets for 2025 3rd (TOR), 2024 6th (TOR)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>python3504</b></div><div>So this is what i dont understand, why does everyone seem to hate the deal?

ANA acquires LBUSH 2.75 for a 4th round pick - everyone says good trade they will flip him for a higher pick at the deadline

Leafs acquire him for a 3rd 50 retained and shell out a 6th for another 25% so he comes to the leafs 675K below league min - everyone says its a bad deal but they needed a right shot D.

so ana got exactly what they thought they would and the leafs paid what everyone thought they would, yes he has bad numbers but so did Benoit but look at him on the leafs, he is performing way better.</div></div>

Then add on, they need to compete with Boston or Florida, they need to be physically superior bc that's how you beat these teams...
