Respectfully to Toews, the post said low cost high upside. I don’t see someone who can come in a hold down a middle six center
Spot as high upside.

Unless Toews insisted on this and refused to waive for any other team, lol. A third round pick is the rough equivalent of a bag of pucks in this league, it wouldn't even be worth it to make this deal.

That's fair. There's no one left in the market that can do that then. The centers are between ROR (currently still on 6 week IR, playing like Dog $hit even before that, AND unlike Toews...has actually come out and publicly said he wants to stay with the Blues) and Toews then the list drops a tier to Domi, Monahan (who hasn't played since December 5th), and Potentially Henrique...

Correct, and I’m not sure we don’t already have our dynamic 2C and nobody wants to admit moving him to C is the right move (Necas). Going after a scoring winger and having Svech-Necas-(Scoring Winger) has a tremendous amount of upside.

As an example - I could imagine Svech-Necas-Tarasenko as one of the more dynamic scoring lines in the league.

Even I, who doesn’t think Toews is worth much at this stage, think this is an underpay especially with max retention. I’d still rather go in another direction than guys like Toews or ROR personally even if it costs more.

I do like the ghost move tho.

He would be nice. I also think it you wanted a "lower" cost Center...that an under the radar move is Adam Henrique. Not exactly a thrilling move, but has an extra year on his contract, which means it more so falls inline with a Waddell type acquisition. Probably won't cost TOO much since he's an ok player...cap hit isn't that great, but with Patches on LTIR and space available for next year. CAR could keep Necas on the wing which is kinda where they like him...at least that's what their actions are telling us so far.

A bit of "Buyer Beware" on ROR. He's publicly said he doesn't want to go anywhere...he wants to stay in STL. He's currently on IR for foot injury...he'll have about 5-8 games to prove that's past him. BUT even then, his performance this year thus far has been awful.

So how much in terms of assets are you willing to send to STL for an injured, poor performing (when not injured) player that doesn't want to be in CAR?

Did not say they did , dont care if they do
Toews has a Full NMC the discussion was where he'd go or what it would take for him to leave.
This summer he was talking in an interview about this timeline with the TDL approaching and his emphasis was on retiring in CHI as Captain.
Unless one of those teams step up he's not going to Domi himself on a CAR team because he has full control and isnt in a position where he needs to.

Its Doan all over again where eveyone though he fought for the NMC not to excersize it
While Kane's still a top guys Toews is settling into a Role Model/Leadership role which for him a Rebuilding CHI is a chance at building his legacy or building on it anyways.
If he spends his final years like Jumbo Joe Thorton chasing and failing to win cups it diminishes him .

All excuses aside CAR isnt even being considered anymore then MTL is
Atleast our fans are rational enough not to see this as a slight on MTL but rather a personal choice by a player who has that right.
CAR is a great team and many players are gonna want to take lowball insulting offers just to get a shot at the playoffs which CAR offers.
But Toews isnt one of them and nothing you've said contradicts his and his agents actions to date.
There's no examples like with Kane about him wanting to pursue a cup or anything like that with verified sources to back them.

Arguing Landeskog is a Center says you dont know other systems well
Landeskog is probably the best Secondary Center or Winger who takes Faceoffs in the NHL.
He helps break in Mckinnon's ,Newhooks and helps take good players like Kadri and make them Superstars.

Landerskog runs Left side top 6 and Rantanen runs Right side top 6
Lehkonen and Nichuskin player either side as needed but primarily AL on LW and VN on RW
Mckinnon and Kadri ran Center until this year now its Mckinnon and Compher hence their desire to upgrade at the TDL their 2nd C.

The thing about your logic is it snowballs getting away from the original question or statement .
You just spew a bunch of points you think are counter arguments in the hopes someone wont go through them and call BS like asseting Landeskog is a Center or their LW isnt desperate for him to return right now as without him Compher is just a Winger playing Center. They've needed to replace Kadri all year there is a million articles on it but you're playing dumb insisting they arent after Toews /a center?

I get why you have only 7 likes now

Pay attention, I'm copying the first couple lines of the post again so you can read them carefully:

"None of the three teams you mentioned have the cap space to bring in Toews as it stands currently. Toronto will likely go for a defenseman, not a forward in all likelihood and would have to move money out. Colorado has Landeskog coming back in the near future so I'm not sure how they'd fit Toews in tho center is an area of potential need for them."

I never said Landeskog is a full-time center, I iterated that he's coming back during the regular season for you to take into consideration the cap compliance implications of that roster move (ie 7million getting added back to the cap hit from LTIR). I also clearly state in the post that center is a potential point of weakness in their roster. Additionally, I don't know why you're getting personal about how I'm "spewing BS" and referencing the number of likes I have when I'm providing a counter point to your original post as well as the number of likes having nothing to do with Toews potentially being traded to the Canes. It seems maybe you'd be inclined to read through the full post rather than skimming the post and making assertions that are way off base.
