How does Xhekaj help you win now??

Our defense is soft and xhekaj is built for playoffs

Not a single team will give you a 1st for Sandin.

He is built as a 7th d man

Edmonton is heading to the playoffs too, why would they want your soft D?

No he's good

Edmonton isn't soft they could use a defenseman that can play pp1

Wi-fi isn't going anywhere and specially not to a division rival, the Benn experiment will not be revisited.
T.O.'s 1st will be a high 20's which won't get you Toews, CHI does better elsewhere.
The EDM trade is pointless for T.O. and ARI agrees maybe but Kerfoot not needed there either.

If nils Lundkvist does so does sandin

They literally have the best powerplay in the history of the NHL. They have at least 2 guys who are better at anchoring the PP than Sandin. Are you actually serious with that comment??

Barrie is really not good. He can barely do anything on that powerplay. Sandin would be an upgrade

Hawks accept

You really are very clueless!

Yes of course the defenseman who has 35 points on the best pp is elite. I don't think you watch hockey

That PP is significantly better with Barrie than without. That tells me that he's a positive contributor. Sanding has never done anything to indicate that he can even run an NHL powerplay, let alone improve the best one ever.

its the best PP in the league, why would they move a first to add a piece that "allegedly" would help their greatest strength? usually teams add pieces they currently dont have or try to address a problem area in the team.

HABS Accept

Edmonton had a bad powerplay before Barrie despite having same other guys. Barrie has actually improved his defensive game to be good enough and his puck moving gets him out of trouble.

Edmonton has Broberg who is bigger and a better skater than sandin.

why are the leafs giving a first for a d that wouldnt play for their team, and why are they giving EDM a guy that would be a top 2 d on their team

doesnt need to be there for PP but hes better than half your d easily

none of these trades are very good for anyone.

toews would be a 3C making 5 million which is something toronto can't afford. he's not worth double retention. ror or henrique would be better targets

xhekaj is a rookie and not someone you want playing 18-20 minutes a night in the playoffs, especially during a series where a lot of people depend on the leafs winning to remain employed the following season.

kerfoot cap dump is funny. i take him over toews

sandin trade is meaningless, xhekaj isn't an upgrade on him.

Tyson Barrie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sandin on the PP

sandin>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>barrie in general

The leafs themselves don't even think Sandin is that good considering they play him as the 7th best dman on their own team (including muzzin)
