      They aren't just going to hand you korpisalo and retain for that return.

      1) korpisalo sucks. He's been a bad goaltender the majority of his career. He got hot for like 5 weeks in the bubble last year and people ignore the rest of his career

      2) even with 1 there is no way Columbus does that trade

      3) Simmonds doesn't sign that and Simmonds isn't a third liner st this point. He's a fourth liner.

      There are other issues, but essentially you're trying to make a Hamilton contract fit and it wont

      Overall I do like Douggie's game. With that said he seems redundant on this team. He's not really that good defensively...i.e...his best defense is his offense. He takes risks keeping the puck in the offensive zone which can indeed help, but it has backfired too. Hes also the most penalized player on his team. Again, I like Douggie. I would just make sure he's NOT the guy a team relies on as their defensive stopper. Lean on his offensive game.

      Is this implying swapping in a 44/45 (!!) year old Chara for Dermott Bogosian Hutton Lehtonen etc. is a big upgrade (🤨 if so) or is it all about Dougie here?

      Why do you feel they have the worst D right now?

      Here's where the current D core at by xGa percentile

      Rielly 8
      Brodie 75
      Muzzin 47
      Holl 58
      Dermott 85
      Bogo 14
      Hutton 23

      Overall quite good

      Worse defence? Leafs are 11th in GAA, and have one of the better goal differentials in the league.

      Right? Reality doesn't matter at all to anyone these days. They are also in one of the most offensively gifted divisions as well. If they got to play against the likes of the California teams 8-9 times this season they would have an even better GAA.

      In the next 30 years that I will be a member of CapFriendly, I'm sure every year we will see posts that that Leafs are lousy defensively.
