Swing large or dont even bother

Created by: Trevorchef
Team: 2020-21 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 18, 2021
Published: Mar. 18, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
This would be one of the best top six forward units in the entire NHL. Hands down.

Without expending top tier assets... you take your best swing IMO. This is a great start.

If they can add some depth on the blue line, even better.

Were this ever on the table, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

If they do get more, then Buffalo absolutely fleeces the other team.

Newsflash.... Buffalo is not that smart. It will not happen.

If Buffalo can get more than a 1st, 2nd, and a top nine player.... have at 'er.

They are definitely getting less. Kerfoot and a 4th at most for someone with 17 points and a "big" name

One of the best top sixes ever even honestly

Two 90 point players
Three 70 point players
One 40 point player

The only better ones were when Mario & Gretz had Boromir Jagger and all stars to play with and maybe the '44 Canadiens and some teams here & there

Oddly the '06 Hurticanes had 6 forwards near PPG

But yeah that many forwards that close to point per game is extremely rare and usually results in a cup

Exactly. Thanks for your feedback!

I like it when people understand the game and how it is played.

I think they could get better. A late 1st and a late 2nd in a terrible draft would be beaten by 1 decent prospect, and Kerfoot is a cap penalty, they need that cap next year

Sabres pass


Give me one reason why the sabres pass this trade. Kerfoot and a first is enough, as Hall has struggled this season. Hall is also a rental on the nhl's worst team. I cannot see a single reason for them to pass.

I just don't think Toronto needs to worry about a player like Hall this year at the trade deadline.

You didn't answer my question of why. Because I seriously cannot think of one reason they pass...

Kerfoot isn't a cap penatly. He's probably be Buffalo's 1c with Eichel now out and Staal likely being traded. And sure, we can give you Liljgren instead if you want.

That doesn’t mean we WANT Kerfoot though
And yeah, I’d rather have Liljegren

Ok, we will send him else where. He'd get at least a 3rd. And I feel like trading Liljgren is what Toronto is going to do at this point. Hall is certainly good return for him.

I doubt they would pass. It is a solid offer for a player that will most certainly not be there next year.

Hall liked the coach. The coach is gone now and the brutal remains of the franchise executives remain.

I'd want the hell out of there too.

I just don’t think Sabres fans are interested in the same 5guys u Leafs fans are all trying to trade
Kerfoot, Andersen, Engvall, etc etc etc

The picks are nice though
Just depends what other teams would offer for Hall

The picks arent even that nice I would rather get a good prospect and a long term prospect than a 20211st and 2nd
