Quoting: fil97
easy read the description... it is a scenario where pit is rebuilding and trading the best assets to gain futures prospects and picks. I also traded crosby and geno I really don't think they aren't good, actually I believe they are all stellar, but if dubas is trending towards a rebuild it has to be done in a similar way imo. no need to be just mediocre for longer. just suck or be good. I'd rather still compete but management seems to think otherwise.
knife isn't useless is a good prospect that can become someone. on the other hand EK65 would be the best Dman Toronto has at a very low cap hit for what he brings.
The best D man Toronto has?? You cant really believe that? He is one of worst defensive D man in the league. You understand that right? It has been widely considered the worst contract in hockey for years.
What value to Toronto, a team in desperate need of DEFENSIVE upgrades, would ANOTHER terrible D man who is soft on the puck, old, overpaid, and worse than Rielly at defense be?
You also showed no interest in Knies value earlier. Now all of a sudden you think he has big value.
No value when the conversation is about his worth in trade.
But big value once you have him on your team right?
Im sorry, this cannot continue. You lost me by suggesting Karlsson was something Toronto would want or need. By suggesting Karlsson wasn't terrible defensively, and by suggesting he would be Toronto's best D man. Right now he would probably be 3rd. After McCabe, Rielly. Benoit is also more valuable to TO than Karlsson would be. Even at a ridiculous 6.5m per year. And a career -99.
