I love Kuraly don't get me wrong, but he is nothing better than a top 3 4th line centre. He is not a top 6 wing

No to that Edmonton trade

If Oilers had cap space they might make that trade

I like the way he works out there, he'd slot into a Hyman like role on that line. Get the puck and give it to JT/Marner

What's with all the Reilly trades today? The idea is to make to blueline better not worse. That is likely an overpayment anyway.

Arizona probably doesn't do that but I mean they could if they are desperate for a 1st round pick.

Kuraly is a 4C man. I mean maybe he can play a 3rd line role but he definitely shouldn't be in the top 6

Do leafs fans understand that other teams need to work within the same cap?

Who cares, if they want to play a 4th liner on the 2nd, their problem. It will just help opponents.
That being said, I wouldn't trade Kuraly to Toronto. He doesn't deserve that especially after his big goals in the past years.

I think the Leafs have overpaid to Boston and Arizona (wow that's weird to say). I wouldn't trade the #15 for two years of Kuempfer (or Johnsson, who is good people forget).

Trading Rielly should be an automatic no. He's one of the best puck-moving offensive defencemen in the league. Nurse is a very similar player who does the same things a bit worse than Rielly and is more expensive. Ethan Bear doesn't solve our defensively minded RHD issue.

I mean, Kuraly is a fine player but there are similar guys to get in the UFA market that won't cost you Dermott.

A lot of people said the same about Hyman, I like Kuraly and i think he'd fit on that line as the first forechecker, plus he's a secondary faceoff option

You’d have to add Timothy Lihjergen in to make up for the lose of bear and take out Khaira add Chiasson to balance the money better

Rielly>Nurse
Andersen and Kerfoot>Bear and Khaira

no way our #1 D prospect needs to be in there.

I agree Edm wouldn’t be added in Bear in any trade even with trying to balancing the trade this trade moves Edmonton backwards and in more cap trouble then we’re in now makes zero sense from a Edmonton stand point.
