I guesss these trades are fine

So much wrong with this, so I'll just say that no contending team trades their most reliable top 4 defender (Brodie) unless they are upgrading on him in the trade.

Going with the old zero defensive depth and also trading the best defensive defenceman the leafs have for a much much much worse player than Brodie is not fine.

Mayfield would bump Holl and that's it. He's not what people think he ism.

And he dumped Holl as well. It blows my mind how some fans just don't learn from the injuries we sustain. 3 years ago Marincin was the top guy in the blueline after Rielly, Muzzin and several others were hurt and we didn't learn anything. This year our 3 top guys got hurt for an extended period and still fans want to move our depth.

Both Blues trades are overtly nope.

-Holl is way more valuable than this; but it's also worth noting that a Devils team with Dougie Hamilton, Damon Severson, and John Marino as their RD depth chart wouldn't make a ton of sense as a destination for him.

-Just gonna combine the two Blues deals to show the value disparity:

TORONTO GETS: Vladimir Tarasenko ($3M retained), Ryan O'Reilly ($2M retained), 2024 3rd

ST LOUIS GETS: Alex Kerfoot (pending UFA), Nicholas Robertson (currently injured), Rodion Amirov (still not playing), SDA, 2023 1st, 2024 2nd, 2023 3rd

So the Blues send out their top 2 trade chips, retain on both, and all you're sending them is two prospects with big injury questions marks, a guy typically ranked in the lower half of TML's top 10 prospects, a pending UFA (not really useful for a seller), and a 1st and a 2nd, with a swap of thirds. You realize when you speak it out how bad these offers are, right?

-Muzzin blocks if he has any hope of coming back. I also think Arizona has minimal interest in this - it's not a ton of value gained by taking the contract off your hands. The Bryan Little deal is the template to look at here, and Arizona prioritized getting a nearly-NHL-ready player back as opposed to future picks. I think you're gonna have to go that way (Alex Steeves? Nick Abruzzese) instead of sending picks if Muzzin is LTIRetired and fine with his contract moving to Arizona.

-Garbage deal for the Leafs, and that's coming from someone who loves Mayfield. Brodie is a clear cut top pair guy, and has been for a few years now, with an extra year of term. Mayfield is a pending UFA who can moonlight on the top pair but is best used as your 4th/5th D. The only advantage he has over Brodie is a lower cap hit. Islanders would take this deal in a heartbeat, if only to flip out Brodie for an appropriate return somewhere else.

-LA has too many young forwards as it is; Joey Anderson would be buried on their depth chart. Why not keep him around as depth? You're under the 50 contract limit with him, he has *some* NHL experience in case you need him for a few games, and you can let him loose this summer if you don't want him around. It doesn't make sense to subtract from your depth (even a guy like Joey Anderson) for no reason if you're hoping to go far - getting rid of Joey Anderson means the next man up is, who, Max Ellis? Kyle Clifford? Just keep him, no need to move someone you don't need to move.

We have enough depth players and Holl wasn’t good enough and I’d rather have Timmins as the bottom 3rd right pairing Dman. We have Mete who will come out of injury soon we have Hollowoll who we need to give more nhl minutes to him. We also have Jordie Benn. We could even bring up Topi Niemala to the nhl.

Holl is better than everyone on your list. And it's not close either. I hope to never see Mete play again. I hope Hollowel doesn't get in either. Benn is a good 7/8 guy to have. Whoever becomes the #7 (Holl, Liljegren or Timmins). Is going to be one of the best #7's in the league. All 3 of those guys are top 4 guys on half the league. All 3 would be the best RD on the Canucks. If someone gets hurt in the playoffs wouldn't you want to make sure you are set?

That islanders trade makes no sense. Mayfield is worth a low end first. Brodie is not worth that at all.

Well yeah I don’t agree with the Brodie trade, I forgot to mention that.
I’d want Mayfield to replace holl which would be great

It could be good but it could also be terrible. Mayfield is big but isn't a good skater and has almost no puck skills. Which doesn't bode well for a possession style of team.

That's not how this works. This site is for chell trades. You send absolutely nothing from your team and get max retention top players from the other guy. Don't you know this /s
