thinking he can snag marino after hes been a revelation
Quoting: Leafboy101
Manson is 29 and Anaheim is not making playoffs, he’s expendable easy that trade would go through, Montour he might be close to untouchable but he certainly isn’t, Buffalo need depth scoring cause they ain’t got none also Hollowell is actually quite underrated he’s a stay at home guy with some offensive capability not with much but still has potential there, that trade might not be enough but it’s a starting point. The Pittsburgh trade is questionable I know, if leafs add maybe a 3rd it might go through but so far it’s a good start to the trade, their problem is like buffalos they don’t have depth scoring on third and fourth lines since Galchenyuk didn’t pan out, gives them what they need and leafs get what they need a BACKUP GOALIE!

Does it look better now?
Quoting: AFOX10900
They don't at all need depth scoring, Kahun McCann ZAR Simon Bjugstad Blandisi Lafferty... and all I'm going to say about Manson is that the ducks are A. not out of it this year, the west is very weak, and all they need is for Gibson to play like he has in past seasons, B. even if they don't make it this year, the majority of their team are young kids, they'll get better next year and the year after etc, while Manson will still be in his prime so to speak, plus they'll have Zegras coming up, and whoever they pick this year, C. they don't have a single top 4 RH d man aside from him, and i don't think they're really trying to tank, so why trade away their best and only good RHD, and D. they don't really even have that many RHD in the system...

You honestly think you're getting Josh Manson for that garbage?At least Nylander would need to go to Anaheim in a deal for Manson.

Manson is so overrated. He had one great season 2 years ago and has been nothing special since. Fowler and Lindholm are the good defenceman that Anaheim has and Manson is just a solid counter part. He's 29 and good but he is no all-star. Keep Liljegren, he's going to be terrific, he's going to cost less than a million for 3 years and will be a mainstay in the years to come. Stop over thinking things and living in the past.b

One year of Manson and Montour and minor league goalie Smith for Kapanen, Hyman, Liljegren and first and second rounder. Wow the Leaf lose big time.
Too think Bracco is an NHLer especially on the first line....that's fantasy.
Leafs will quite happy having Kapanen, Hyman, Liljegren who will be good with term and keeping those two picks. A back up goalie...yep Leafs and me are prepared to trade, even overpay for one.
Sabres would want more for Montour. But one year of Manson the Leaf aren't trading Liljegren for him, and you want to add more. And a back up goalie doesn't cost you Kapanen.

@AFOX10900
I cannot speak for the other trades but Betterall certainly fleeced Murray. IMO it would take more to get Montour. Has any one watched how well Bogosian is playing, I think he will be traded at the TDL for less than a first, but more than a 4th.
@Amplifys
I am including you because you made a comment to this post
@Leafboy101
I agree that Buffalo needs secondary scoring but since the Leafs have only 3 more goals than Buffalo so far this year, I do not think this offer is sufficient and TML need secondary scoring as well. Read below.
@palhal
I agree, with your comment about Montour. He may be the Sabres best defenseman (yes including Dahlin, BTW the Sabres are 4-1-3 since Dahlin suffered a concussion). I have no idea how the Sabres were able to get him for only Guhle and a first. I guess Murray was reading the Buffalo News writers reports on Ghule.
Manson - Given his severe decline recently ... the Ducks would be very lucky to get a stud prospect like Liljegren for him straight up
(Leafs say no obviously)
Montour - Every Buffalo fan now realizes that they massively overpayed by giving up a 1st + Guhle ... Hyman alone has more value
(Leafs say no obviously)
DeSmith - The Leafs are gonna trade a 20 goal / 50 point 22 year old for a 28 year old backup goalie currently playing in the AHL?
(Leafs say no obviously)
The only thing more embarrassing than these trades is the unbridled vitriol coming from the incredibly salty Leaf haters in these comments.
Come on guys ... you're better than that ... SMH.
