That would taste like dump

That's too much to give for Cirelli. He's really not a productive 2C. Keep the first and Minten, cap be used for another place another player. If you don't like Tavares at centre, you won't like Cirelli and Gourde.
Seven years of nearly 30 year Pesce is way too long. Leafs fans do have this fascination with him somehow to have him on their roster till the 2030s.
21 man roster? No 7th Dman? Kampf on LTIR? Yeah that works.

you cooked. except in the Tampa bay trade, liljgren a a list prospect and a first for a third liner and a 9 point scorfer

Cirelli is a 2 way 2nd liner

Your team already tasted like
Dump

ouch

You burned down the kitchen brother

yeah nevermind i looked at his stats still an overpayment though

He shuts down top lines. He’s underrated

Good glad y'all feel that way because that conversation goes something like this :
BT: Julien got a trade for you says above.
JBB :Brad Go F*** Yourself.



someone outside Tampa Bay that realizes that..
Y'all are also very under valueing Raddysh

Cirelli Is a very good 3C. He can play in the 2C spot but like you said he doesn't have the production to be a true 2C.

Cook! Cook! Cook! Cook!



Might be an overpayment but it wouldn't be anything too crazy, maybe adding a 3rd/4th to TBs side would make it more even, but TB would be looking for an overpayment and this would probably not be enough. Minten unless he starts finding offense is likely to be a 2-way 3C, maybe a 2C. With Cirelli, you're getting the finished product, and he's locked/young enough to be the 2C for the foreseeable future. The Leafs probably don't want to give up the few futures they have for Cirelli, when they have bigger needs. They could try to sign similar players in Stephenson (30; 5.5-6.5M) and Lindholm (30 in Dec; 7-7.5M) who have some more offense to them.



Whether we call him a high-end 3C or low-end 2C, I think it's fair to say he would cost a premium to acquire, PHI wanted a 1st+ for Laughton. Although, if Cirelli is considered a premium 3C, he's paid too much.
