Oh god.

I like the idea of Byfeild to the leafs.

I’m guessing Dubas said the same thing after game 7 “ I don’t even know anymore”

Sabres probably say no. But dude....you do not want Eakin

Oh god Zach Hyman is still on the first line LOL

The Kings don't.

Mitchy boy isn’t worth that

Byfield will not be traded, not even for Marner. Not even for Matthews.

I hear you on not wanting Eakin - but if it helps get you Sam and you only have him for a year.

You can put him in the press box and move Vilardi to the middle and Robertson up worst case.

If its for Marner id think they wouldnt mind.

We can agree to disagree. There's no way they send Byfield - under an ELC for 3 more years, and team control for plenty more -- for 11mil dollars for 3 years. And that's 1 for 1.

Add on to that the 1st and Vilardi you have going to the Leafs? It doesn't happen.

I would have thought that everyone could agree that you (and Edmonton) have already proven that the top-heavy-roster theory doesn't work. Having all of your firepower focused on a few superstars makes it too easy to neutralize them. (Look at how easily Winnipeg dealt with the Oilers.) Here, you've resigned Hyman at an increase and exchanged one $11 million player (Marner) for two $13 million players (Hall and Reinhart). That's only a modest improvement on what you have now. And that is at the cost of drastically weakening the defense, even if Rielly is going to walk in another year.

I think that you'd do much better foregoing Hyman and Hall and Reinhart and get more intermediate-type, quality players like Coleman and McCann and McGinn and Cizikas, etc.

No chance we'd trade Byfield for Marner straight up. Little chance we'd trade Vilardi and Walker for him. Too early to give up our 2022 sweepstakes ticket.

Yes they would. He isn’t worth 11 million a year
