Quick...name the great prospects in the Karlsson deal. And no, Rudolphs Balcers isn't two players.
See above. It's almost always depth players, for salary purposes, and futures with a half decent prospect.
I doubt the Leafs would give up Liljegren in this deal.
The Blues and Armstrong aren't as incompetent as Melnyk and the Senators. Melnyk wouldn't let Karlsson get traded to an Eastern Conference team and could have gotten a better deal. It makes no sense to block half the league from being a trading partner but par for the course for the dysfunctional Ottawa franchise.
Fans, like you and others, love to play the let's compare past trades to establish value for what I want on my team. The problem is it's not realistic. The other problem is if you really want to play that game it goes both ways.
Hall got traded for Larsson. Anyone that thought that was a fair trade at the time or now has some screws loose, but it actually happened.
Since I'm a Blues fan and this is a Toronto trade thread. Let's use that as our imaginary trade value shall we??
So.. how much better is Pietrangelo than Larsson? Let's try this.
Leafs get Pietrangelo.
Blues get Nylander + 2019 1st + 2020 1st + Liljegren
Obviously that seem fair because I'm using an established trade as value
