Isn't it an insanely good deal for the Leafs? Trading 16.2 in cap (and two upcoming UFAs) for 7m in cap in Crouse and Valjemka....so it gives the Leafs 9.2m in cap to sign other players plus getting what the 8th overall and. 37th overall picks

It's a terrible deal for the leafs
A 25 year old with a career high 45 points, a backup goalie a 2nd and a pick that is more likely to be 8th over all than top 5.
Absolutely garbage for matthews

C'mon Jared, calling Veljemka a back up is foolish. OK if you think that's garbage for one year of Matthews, and dumping Murray. I think it's overpay by Arizona and the it would Leafs would be just as good in 23/24 with the four NHLers and exchanging Matthews and Murray, plus in the future have those two picks.

Ok, tell me why veljemka isnt a back up, is it his bad stats? Would you prefer terrible starter? I mean, he's putting up worse stats than the broken down shell of murray that you seem to think makes this better for the leafs.
If you think this is even close for matthews, then i don't know what to tell you,this wouldn't even get nylander

You know he's a big reason why they are a poor team.
Good players put up good results on even the worst teams. If be was even just an ok starter hed put up at least ok numbers even on the coyotes.

You come on every post with the most condescending attitude every yet somehow manage to always be wrong. Dont you think everyone constantly telling you that you dont know what youre talking about would be a decent hint to take?

It's always very funny how people who try to defend their agms with a condescending "watch the games" response always get their underwear all bunched uo about other people being condescending to them.
Listen hoss, if you dont like criticism then dont make bad agms

I have no problem taking criticism from people who know what they're talking about. Not mayo monkeys named Jared who who just pretend to be smart while spreading bs.

Single game? Hasn't Vajmelka shut the door on the Leafs and stolen a game vs them like 3 times now?

Aww muffin, youve lost the plot. Insults because someone disagrees with you, great way to show how big and strong you are!
You cant even come up with an actual reason why vajmelka is good can you? It must suck real bad when the deph of your understanding of hockey is telling people to watch the games when they disagree with the points you heard on sports talk radio

He ranks top 15 in both goals saved above expected and save % above expected. Are those not good results? or at least ok numbers? LMAO youre so out of touch with reality you dont know what youre talking about.

The proof:

He ranks top 15 in underlying goalie stats. Is that a good reason or you just gonna ignore them cause they dont fit your narrative?

Just like how you're gonna ignore how hes worse than samsonov in war and saved above expected because it doesnt fit your narrative?

If Samsonov played on the Yotes and was constantly getting shelled instead of playing on a top 10 defensive team he would probably have worse stats. I dont think its some coincidence he started too look like a good goalie once he went to a good defensive team. But you know what, lets say youre right and Samsonov > Vajmelka, you still claimed Vajmelka wasn't a starter and that he doesnt have good results or put up okay numbers but youre clearly wrong on that and I gave proof.

You use WAR saves above expected to prove your argument but claim Vajmelka isn't a starter and hasn't put up good stats behind a terrible team yet he ranks top 15 in both of those stats. I guess the stats are only credible when they help your argument.

Or, maybe my point was that if someone else is going to use underlying numbers and then say a guy with better underlying numbers is a worse option, they cant have their cake and eat it too.
Same with "watching the games", people love to use that but then ignore that other people form different conclusions based on eye tests.
Bottom line is vejmelka is not a significant piece to get matthews and this trade agm js awful

Dude I know Matthews is worse more, I just dont bother adding more cause I dont want people on here crying and coming at my head for overvaluing Matthews. Its just for fun idk why people like you take posts on this forum so seriously.

You clearly have never seen a coyotes game in your life. It is very obvious.
And yeah, i dont know why people get so mad they start throwing around insults and projecting their insecurities on other people the second someone doesnt like their agm, it is very weird

Projecting their insecurities lmao? All I did was state a fact. Youre the one coming on here belittling everyone only to be totally wrong. Nothing screams being insecure more than being condescending and a douche on the internet. Also I been to 5 coyotes games this year when is was there for a trip, so I think I know that Vajmelka is a good goalie and I have the stats to prove yet while you have nothing to prove your point other than "you dont watch the games bro".
