Thread: Deal or No Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Kucherov, McDavid, Mackinnon, Matthews, Pasta, Hughes, Makar, Fox, Hughes, Heiskanen, Tkachuk, Barkov, Robertson, Aho, Hischier, Thomas, Bedard, Fantilli, Nemec, Wyatt Johnson, Carlsson, Sanderson, Faber, Point, Dobson, Slafkovsky, McAvoy, Dahlin.

That's 28 names all more valuable than Tkachuk</div></div>

Don’t know hockey?

I would trade a bunch of those guys in a heartbeat for Brady. You don’t find elite power forwards often - how many of them are there in the league? Less than you think.

The fact that you listed Wyatt Johnston, Robert Thomas, Adam Fantilli, and guys like that is the funniest thing I’ve read. Of the list you named, there’s probably 3 guys with more trade value then Brady, arguably 4 (keep in mind trade value doesn’t mean better, I agree Brady isn’t as good as some of them but he’s still more valuable). McDavid, Makar, MacKinnon are for sure more valuable, then you can argue Matt Tkachuk so Brady is at least top 5.

Thread: Realistic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rajvinder</b></div><div>Yes those numbers are high but from what I've been hearing, Treliving values flexibility very highly given the short windows with Matthews. He rather pay Tanev $7M for 1 year than $5.5M for 3 years. If Tanev falls off in a season, he doesn't want to get stuck with $5.5M in dead cap space during two years of Matthew's prime. Same with Roy/Montour, if they don't fit then you dont' want a longterm commitment. Imagine they sign Montour for 7x$7.5M (very realistic deal Montour could get) and his shoot first approach on the PP means Matthews/Nylander suddenly aren't scoring and the PP is way worse. That single deal would end this cup window, suddenly Toronto has $15M committed longterm to two D (Rielly/Montour) who can't QB their 1PP.

In short the extra $1.5M/year to reduce the term from 7 years to 2 years is something that is worth the cost to Toronto to avoid any signing becoming the nail in the coffin for this window if it doesn't pan out. I'd expect to see lots of these 1-2 year deals at higher numbers from Toronto (similar to last year's strategy with Bert/Domi/Klingberg) then they can resign the guys who work and let the others walk (or trade them after 1 year if they have 2 year deals). Moving Montour at $9M for 1 year next summer even if he only puts of 30 points next season wouldn't be hard, especially if the money is all in signing bonuses.</div></div>

Would love to know who your sources are on this..

Thread: 16 playoff win team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>scko</b></div><div>The trade is Marner for Nurse. Marner has only year, while Nurse has multiple years so the value is actually on Toronto's side.
Xavier Bourgault (1st round pick) + Solid 3rd liner for a winger + bottom pairing defenceman. This is also on Toronto's side.</div></div>

Nurse is $3.5m overpaid. He absolutely is not worth Mitch Marner - even if Marner has 1 year on his deal.

Nurse is a 30 point defender that doesn’t get paid up PP time and is a defensive liability. He’s not worth that much.

Bourgault being a former 1st round pick means nothing. He’s not worth the value of a 1st just because he was drafted there, he might be a late 2nd round value at best.

&amp; it’s kinda hard to argue that McLeod is a 3rd liner when he has 1 season over 23 points and has 0 points in 14 playoff games.


This deal is not worth anything to Toronto. Leafs pass.

Thread: Montreal Canadiens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RobbStark003</b></div><div>I am not sure what Leaf fans are expecting to be honest. If a LD and RD capable of top minutes, one coming off a career offensive year, and the other one of the most respected shutdown defensemen in the league doesn't do it, you also get to restock your 3rd and 4th rounds for the next few years, then you get Anderson for cheap, incase he doesn't bounce back, and if he does, hes exactly the player Leaf fans have been dying for.

Marner on the other hand, is very expensive, 1 year term, and disappears in the playoffs. After having written it out, Montreal may get more by trading Matheson and Savard separately than what Marner would fetch at the deadline.</div></div>

If Marner is a “expensive 1 year term guy that disappears in playoffs” then why are you suggesting a trade for him in the first place…
