There is 100 players like Mikheyev out there. Not arguing with your point but you can find another guy like him in a split second if you want. Cheaper one too.

Because there is more than one stat in the world

There are 1000s of watsons and most of them are playing in the ahl or ech

So you’re saying Mikheyev should be in AHL or below that??? Kinda just proved my point

Exactly, this gets back to what I talked about earlier. The intrinsic value of players. Leafs have a bunch of Mikheyev “types” why not add something different? Especially if they bring a different element and produce more than what you’re giving up.

Because different im this case is worse

How’s it worse? Tell me please.

Because watson is a much worse player? Why is this so hard for you?

I want to know HOW??? He is worse. We’re not in grade 4 here. Just telling me your opinion doesn’t justify your opinion. Let’s see some detail, facts, examples, etc.

No

Two people I’ve outsmarted on this thread I guess.

What ever helps you sleep at night

I already sleep perfect.

lol Outsmarted me? You sound like you listen to Shapiro

Have the leafs won a playoff series during your lifetime?

What do the Leafs wins and losses have to do with me outsmarting you?? 😂 But to answer your question they have won 7 playoff series in my lifetime. 4 of which against the Senators.

lol okay so youre like... 35 and trying (and failing) to "outsmart" people on a hockey forum?

23, but in all honesty both Sens and Leafs organizations have failed our entire lives. If you do not win the Cup your season was a failure. I do not even have to know how old you are to know that every season you have ever watched has been a failure for the Sens. But explain to me how I'm failing. I want insights, descriptions, examples, facts, etc. on how I am failing. I will wait...

By the way, I'm not even a Leafs fan. If you have read this entire thread you would know that. I just find their ACGM much more fun to play around on then other teams becasue of the uniqueness of them having 3 10+ million dollar contracts.

Okay so 23. Makes sense why you sound like you listen to Shapiro

If anything but a cup is a failure, then almost every single team is a failure every single season, and that makes being a "failure" meaningless. No, the leafs are a failure. In the past 15 years, OTT has numerous conference finals and a SC finals and completed a rebuild. Thats not "success", but its not failure.

Youve failed because youre incorrect. This isnt a good trade. Ive already explained why.

Feel free to respond to and refute my previous comment.

Edit error.

If you're going to compare me to Shapiro a professional at his craft at a professional level than i'll take that. He is one of the best executives in the game at identifying young talent and probably one of the smartest to talk in circles and not give the media anything. I.e. Lamiorello; does the same thing with the media in hockey. But you're probably not used to it with blabber mouth Melnyk going off everyday about random pointless things. It's like we understand Melnyk, you barely have enough money to keep your team in Ottawa and you cry when other fan bases run yours out of your own building. He should be happy their putting some money in his pocket book. Maybe that will help them move their arena out of a corn field.

Im comparing you to Shapiro because of the laughable focus on "outsmarting with FactsandLogic™", its definitely not a good thing. The fact that you think Shapiro is considered a professional and not a laughing stock is enough confirmation for me.

Melnyk has been pretty silent for the last 2 years... not sure what youre even talking about

Funny, you didnt actually go back and refute anything... just more nebulous incorrect assertions about OTT

Keep reaching buddy

Dude like I don't know what you want me to say. You cheer for one the replaceable teams in the NHL. If the Sens were relocated tomorrow it wouldnt make one difference to the league. Sens fans are utterly obsessed with every little thing the Leafs do and I'm not sure why. Like I've said a few times I'm not even a Leafs fan but the fact of the matter is the Leafs are the most important franchise to the sport of hockey. Their league revolves around them. Leaf fans love them and the other 31 teams fans hate them. Like I honestly don't even think the Sens are that big of a rival in Leaf fans eyes.
