Thread: Defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>He will likely be a good top 6 wing and was starting to breakout last season when he got hurt, I don’t really want to move him but would for the right price because we have too many forwards.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>The fans are kind of a mixed bag on him. Some think he's not going to turn into a top 6 guy, some think he has a good shot of getting there. Personally I'm pretty hyped for him to have a great year this year coming up. He showed a real flash of potential last year when he had a stretch of 18 points in 22 games before he broke his finger and the loss of 2 family members had him end his season to grieve. I would be very bummed if he were traded before the season starts and he has a breakout elsewhere.</div></div>

From the limited I've seen of him, seems like a Raddysh type prospect that we could work with and give a better opportunity IF a move like this were to occur.

Thread: Leafs Acquire Debrincat Ship Nylander to SJ and Sign Fleury and Vatrano
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Yeah, I got that but at the end of the day, DeBrincat isn't leaving except for an overpay, I don't think they Davidson is worried about that 9m QO at all since that would be around his worth. I suspect though he might be wanting to warm up Kane to the idea of a trade but he wants it to be Kane's idea. I could be wrong though, but I haven't heard anything about Kane and Toews extensions. I think he has hope that they would want to be moved at the deadline and just come back and sign next year. Their fire sale ofc is to have most picks for next years draft but also improve their chances at getting at least one of the top 3 guys, namely Bedard.</div></div>

Yesterday or day before KD in the press conference said that initial contact had been made regarding getting a gauge on what they might be looking at for their next deals but very preliminary by the sounds.

Thread: Leafs Acquire Debrincat Ship Nylander to SJ and Sign Fleury and Vatrano
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>I'm not sure what execs have Niemela, my issue with the trade though isn't just what's going for directly DeBrincat (if someone gets him it will be for an overpay) and the fact that he's probably paying for retention. It's the overall changes that are happening to trade for Debrincat.

Out: Nylander, Niemela, 25th overall (TOR) + 2023 1st (TOR), Mrazek, Holl
In: Debrincat, Wiesblatt, 2023 2nd (SJ), 2024 3rd (SJ), Bonino, Reimer

Reimer is probably just going to be just as bad as Mrazek, he didn't do well in TOR the first time. Holl and Bonino basically cancel out.
Let's just say 2023 1st gets cancelled by 2023 2nd and 2024 3rd

You are left with Nylander, Niemela, 25th OV for DeBrincat+Wiesblatt

Debrincat has a 0.83 PPG rate to Nylander's 0.8 PPG rate since DeBrincat joined the league (Nylander's career is 0.78PPG). So I would put their trade value similar, except that DeBrincat has 8th most goals, so that puts him ahead not by a 1st round pick though.

That leaves Wiesblatt for Niemela and 25th OV, idk who wiesblatt is but I'm confident that is a massive overpay. If I'm wrong let me know.</div></div>

I was just expressing the CHI point of view though between both moves yes its bad for TOR.
