Description
As we progress through the offseason the chances of the Leafs getting that coveted top pairing RHD seem lower. This is a cheaper option that not only gets us a minute munching RHD, but a guy with toughness that so many complain we lack. For Philly they have Myers coming up where if he impresses enough trading Gudas should make a lot of sense. I think this works for everyone.

Seems good to me. I've been hoping Dubas would obtain a mid-level RD for some time, because I think that Hainsey is retiring, or at least not re-signing. Let's see what the Philly guys think.

Do you not think it would be more wise to see how Ozhiganov pans out first before filling that role?

Ill answer for them. They would not want to trade Gudas because they have literally no RHD depth not counting Myers. But I agree that I would like as you do obtain mid level RHD like Bortuzzo, maybe depth guy as Prosser, we dont need big fish high paid defenders, We have stars on D, we need solid guys to fill the spots.

It's a good point because actually I'm a pretty big Carrick fan too and believe he would succeed in a bottom pairing role. What it comes down to for me is that Gudas brings a whole different element to our blueline that I don't believe Carrick or Oz possess. And while they COULD theoretically fill that role we're a contending team that at some point needs some stability back there and to not rely on an overseas signing or a bottom pairing D to take the next step.

But if we go into the season as we are at this point in time, see what Carrick/Oz have in camp, and a deal like this is still available mid-season? I think that's totally a viable option as well.

Amen to both guys. Others who should be on the radar (this year and next) go as high as Stephen Johns and Esa Lindell to Kevin Connauton to Dylan Demelo and the myriad $800k defenders that are LA's back end. Speaking of Philly, by the way, and 800k defenders there's Christian Folin. Don't know why he didn't stay here.
