Why is everyone underrating Zach Hyman just because he doesn't get many points? In my opinion Toronto wouldn't do that trade for Tanev.

I know the Ducks would pass on that deal for Fowler. Late round AHL'ers and a season of JVR for a top-4 defensemen doesn't make sense for them.

Tanev isn't that good and I don't need him to win, plus he's a d-man and doesn't show up in your lineup so why did you get him.

You don't get Fowler with that package, so keep on dreaming.

You don't get Drouin for that, and you sure don't pay him $5M on one season.

You overpay Brown for 1 year.

Hyman does a lot, but he's a 3rd liner, and isn't worth more than $1.5M at this point. $2M on a 5 year deal.

Tanev is a premier shutdown defenseman if you look at the stats, he does lack offense but nonetheless good for shot differentials,

I would be okay with JVR Fowler straight up or maybe add a 2nd but not Timashov, if Ducks fans want more I would rather just go back into next season with same team, our defense core is relatively young so we can count on individual development.

I like how people bring up JVR is only for 1 more season but so too is Fowler.

Gardiner is worth a lot more than that.

Except JVR has 1 year left and will want a raise. Go look at the Ducks and see how he fits in going forward. He doesn't. They would have to pay JVR $6M most likely, and they will have Montour, Theodor and Manson as RFAs and will already be up to $54M in cap space with only 10 players on board. It would mean they would have less than $2M per player. What if Montour, Theodor and Manson get $2.5M each. That would leave them $12M for 9 players. Again, still doesn't work.

People make trades and don't look at the cap implications for the OTHER team.

yeah and Fowler is worth more and would be smarter to invest money in him than it would be JVR - especially since they probably demand the same price. ANA could also trade him for a lot more than what JVR is worth.

Tanev is not a premier shutdown defender. If you call shot differentials breaking even and being negative relative to his teammates then ok yes.

You're right on your points.

the JVR for Fowler trade is dead don't try to bring that back and zach hyman is one of the leafs best penalty killers along Leo so don't trade that kid on the other side I like the idea of the marner,kadri,kapanen line

How many times does it have to be said, That Anaheim has no interest in JVR especially for Fowler need to do better then this.
