You're confusing Calgary with Toronto plus confusing Dube and Valimaki with Kerfoot and Holl or Kerfoot and Sandin! Leafs fans post far far more lopsided trades favoring their team than anyone else. So many it often seems like there are more lopsided Leafs trades than posts for all other teams combined!
Leafies... Always trying to dump some combination of Kerfoot, Holl, Sandin and Muzzin for better players who get paid less + picks and as if that's not bad enough having the nerve to suggest 50% retention on the incoming players too!
I'm not saying some Leaf fans do. I'm also not saying all Flames fans do. But if you're trying to tell me that Valimaki is better than Sandin, you need to give your head a shake. No one is trying to dump Sandin, but there is a log jam thanks to the cap situation, and he might have to be dealt if a deal can't get done or other pieces can't be moved out..
IMO, Kerfoot is a value add for most contending teams. Will he fetch a big price? No. Cause teams know they have to move him for cap space. Holl is Holl. If we get a 4th for him, great, but the guy can play 20 minutes a game and is on a pretty decent contract at $2mil. It's very unlikely Muzzin is moved due to the high contract and injury history, but personally, I'm ok with that, cause when he's in the lineup he contributes, and when he's out we get the LTIR space.
Every fan (for the most part) over values their players compared to other teams. There are very few unbiased, objective fans on this site. But you can't get upset when someone calls out members of your fanbase when they start putting together Dube, Valimaki and picks for guys like Terry (37 goal scorer) and Barzal (high end center).
