i dont think hes the kinda guy tor wants....

we rnt re-signing hamonic for that much

jankowski isnt worth that much

why are the leafs trading for stuff they dont need?

jesus thats a crap return

I suppose because TOR lack a player of his ilk and want Bennett, but adding gaudreau allows them to move 11mil for 9mil and then be able to trade one of their big 4, while addressing grit. CGY gets a very good goalie (albeit for 1 year) and JVR is slightly more than Lucic, but his production far outweighs Lucic. NAK is a solid bottom 6 forward who plays with grit, and has very good metrics. Bunnamon is a big, solid defensive kid, whos looked solid in playoffs.

LOL exactly what Toronto is lacking.

Leafs accept in a second, they can just trade him or Nylander/Marner, this is an absolute steal

Bennett is what they are lacking... For CGY the return of a 70 pt Gaudreau is probably not a 70 pt player, so its addressing spots up and down lineup and an upgrade in goal.....then TOR can deal 1 of Marner/Nylander/Gaudreau for a good top 4 RD and more

theoretically Gaudreau replaces say Marner on the top line, and Bennett takes kerfoots spot on 3rd line. Then say Marner is dealt for pesce, prospect Suzuki, jake bean and more, still leaving plenty of cap space for a No 1 goalie. Toronto stays an offensive force in their top 6, taking a loss on the 3rd line, but improving their defense and getting a longer term goalie.

Its not perfect for TOR, but its an idea. For CGY, they lose Gaudreau, Bennett and Lucic, but receive Kerfoot, JVR, NAK, Andersen and Bunnamon, (and easy re-signs of RFAs next year as Grant, Andersen, and Rittich come off cap. Maybe the re-signs of Hamonic, Jankowski are too much, but it shows cap flexibility for a 21 skater club, with a solid defense and forward corps

early morning vomit is now in session.
WTF is this return for CGY?

There is a new post with TO taking this and then flipping Gaudreau and I like that idea.

Garbage for Calgary. How about Matthews for backlund and jankowski?
