Thread: Leafs realistic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>A <strong>lot</strong> more realistic than the contemporaneous ACGM published by a Toronto fan peddling Calle Jarnkrok to us for the 2024 Boston second.

Like everyone else, I just don't see Utah sending their first ever draft pick to Toronto for one season of Mitch Marner, and I'd be surprised if anyone's interested in buying him before Toronto pays his $7.25 million bonus on July 1. I know that the franchise just got purchased by a billionaire, but my understanding of wealth is that billionaires don't get that way by throwing away money, especially when the franchise itself is on such rocky financial footing.</div></div>
Could possibly see them dealing 6 oa if there’s a ideal center with an abundance of team control, or a reasonable contract on him, or even the gamble of a package to go get Draisaitl plus extension. Probably highly unlikely and they will be picking there, so want a Doan/geekie/iginla 3rd line in 2 years. But probably drafting another dman or center depending how the draft falls.

Thread: Competitive team next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canuckfan98</b></div><div>The reason I didn't add too many rookies or kids is cause its obvious due to the relocation that Utah wants to make the playoffs next season so going for the big ticket guys on ufa will help them, Doan will get his opportunity when an injury occurs or if he plays great at training camp, as for Guenther if he is top 6 calibre then he will have to beat out Schmaltz and Jonathan to prove his worth.

I don't mind to add of the dmen you listed but I don't see them being interested in Utah as they will probably take offers from other teams.</div></div>
Probably have to go trade route to upgrade a winger over just buying marchessault, term and roster spots a factor with all the picks accumulated. Schmaultz possibly traded to upgrade blueline even, marchessault is a nice veteran add to lead this group up front. Still like Guenther in top 6, but we will see come training camp.

Thread: Utah - Year One In-Depth Analysis
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cadyn</b></div><div>Yeah, I actually really considered replacing Schmaltz with Matias Maccelli, he's one of the top guys I'd be targeting in a Necas trade, even though he's not a centre or shoots right which suits more to your needs, which was why I ended up targeting Schmaltz</div></div>

Kind of defeats the purpose with the Macelli add over changing out schmaltz, personally i go lindholm over Stephenson, just on injury history, even if it’s a little more term and cap. Nitpicking at this point. I like the build, I wonder if they try to move up in draft or package picks together to get a second pick up higher with all those picks. Possibly a project in net added, and get some value out of Vejmelka if there is some. There’s a kid ready for that Barron spot, but not a bad depth move to add. I go up and get iginla, doan/iginla line could be fun. Well done on build.
