Still think it makes sense for the Wild. The return is fair, and the cap-space created by the move can be used to sign a cheaper backup like Comrie, Holtby or Halak, while utilizing the remaining cap space to sign a good bottom 6 forward. Don't think it is a terrible move from the Wild's perspective. But we can obviously disagree on that.

Disagree. Think he is a good player. His game will elevate playing with elite players too. His points per 60 last season matched Johnny Gaudreau (3.57 vs 3.60). It was also higher than anyone on the Leafs. Not saying that he is going to be a 100 point player, but don't think production is going to be an issue with increased ice-time & better teammates.

My thoughts on the Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrDinkiee</b></div><div>He will be a better third liner than a first liner. I would even put him on the Tavares and Nylander line. We need Ritchie and his physicality. The problem Bruins fans had with him is his consistency. Everyone loved Ritchie when is hitting and playing his game. When he's not in his game, he's not effective</div></div>
I wouldn't want him with Tavares at all. He is too slow and JT's worst attribute is his skating. The line would be so dependent on Nylander carrying the puck every shift or to dump it in deep and go get it. This why Tavares needs to play with two wingers that are above average skaters. Ritchie is below average. Jumbo-Tavares-Nylander didn't work at all and they had negative possession numbers in terms of Fenwick and shots forward and against. Ritchie would likely not work on that line at all.

Logan Brown Trade
I think this is really good trade for Ottawa. Sanford is an excellent middle 6 forward that plays a heavy game. He definitely makes Ottawa's team better. He is one of those role guys that can become really important for when you start to contend. You already have Nick Paul, who is such a player in my book, and a line consisting of Sanford-Paul-White could be up there amongst the best 3rd lines in the league. I like this move a lot from Ottawa's perspective.

My thoughts on the Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrDinkiee</b></div><div>Don't get me wrong, I love Zach Hyman in every shape and form, but the problem I saw was that he had to take many roles, and by taking the specific role, he can't have another role at the same. You want a pest, you got it, but it limits his offensive ability. You want him to be a shutdown player? Sure, but now you can't use him as an offensive player. With Ritchie, Kampf, Bunting, and Kase, we have players that filled the role Hyman had, but we're not sacrificing anything. You want a shutdown player? Here is Kampf. You want a pest? Here is Bunting. You want someone to hit everything that moves? Here is Ritchie. You want two elements on the same line like an offensive player and someone who hits, here is Kase and Ritchie</div></div>
I don't disagree with you at all. I think everyone loves Hyman, but management 100% made the right move to walk away from a deal. I really like the additions we made, the only one I am not sold on 100% is Nick Ritchie, mostly because I am not in love with his fit on the 1st line. I like him as a player and what he brings, but I am not sure if he is what the Leafs need. He isn't a 4th liner, and if he ends up on the 4th line, it isn't great paying someone $2.5M for the next 2 seasons to play that role. I would have either tried to sign someone else or give Mikheyev his final chance as a top 6 forward to start the season before potentially making a trade in season if it didn't work out.

My thoughts on the Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>For Brooks, I don't know if the NHL will be doing another expanded roster taxi squad, so I don't know if the Leafs will be forced to send him down (he has developed enough with the Marlies, no point believing he needs more time there, unlike a Robertson who does).
As for Bunting and Kase; one was a career Ahl'er and the other was injured for the past 1 1/2 seasons. So failed experiment comment is justified.
Reilly will not be traded, Dubas track record proves that fact, but it would be a good idea. Wrong GM though.
It's so hard to forget that Sandin is still a rookie, though he seems to been around forever.</div></div>
I don't think your comment regarding Buying and Kase is justified at all. Just because Bunting has been a career AHL:er doesn't mean he can't make the step to the NHL now and you are also completely disregarding how good he looked when he got his chance for the last 23 games. He scored 10 goals and one 3 goal game. There are many players that are way more established that hasn't scored 3 goals in an NHL game. I don't see how Bunting can miss at all. He will literally just come in and work hard and every goal/assist he gets is a bonus. His contract is $900K as well.
As for Kase, I can see why people are concerned due to his injury record. All we can go on now is that he is healthy, and he is a fine hockey player when healthy. A guy like Ho-Sang could slide in on his line if it turns out that he becomes injured again or something else happens. But for now, absolutely NOTHING points to them being a ''failed experiment.''
If you said that one of these two players could end up as a failed experiment, I would agree with you, but you said that one of them WILL end up as a failed experiment, and you can't say that for certain at all. Do you have some inside info that GMKD or his pro scouting or medical team doesn't? If you do, then I believe you, but you don't so how can you say that for certain? We will have to see how this whole thing plays out before we can conclude statements like yours.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>This will be Mikheyev's last chance with the Leafs, I can see if he gets sent down to the bottom 6, Dubas will do him a favor and move him, like Dubas set free Barbie and Lehtonen last year.
You left out Brooks, he will get pick up on waivers, so I think he makes the team, sort of like Timashov did 2 years ago. Brooks is a good player and can center the 3rd line if ever given a realistic chance.
Gusev will probably not sign a 2 way 750K contract like a Ho Sang would. My bet is Gusev is looking for a $1 million deal and no chance he'll go to the Marlies. So no contract for Gusev.
Either 1 of Kase or Bunting will end up as a failed experiment.
I think if Sandin's can play like a Top 4 Dman, Dubas will listen to trade offers on Reilly, only if a player under contract is involved.</div></div>
Why is Brooks going to get claimed? There are better players around the league that are going to have to be put on waivers, so expecting him to automatically get claimed is wrong IMO. He could very well be our 13th forward over Engvall, but I have Engvall ahead for now. Why is either 1 one of Bunting and Kase going to fail? What are you basing that on? Rielly won't be traded unless the Leafs suck and are out of playoff contention. He will walk as FA or resign, but he won't be traded if we are in the playoff race. There just isn't a deal out there right now where I can see us getting a return that doesn't make the Leafs weaker. Trading him at the TDL when we are 2nd or 3rd in the division makes little to no sense at all. Absolutely NO NEED to put extra pressure on Sandin this year. There is two reasons for that. Firstly it can backfire really hard. He might not be ready and the team can become worse because of it. Secondly, he might perform really well, which is nice, but then his contract next season will be much more expensive which isn't smart from a business perspective. He will play on the third pair with Dermott, and hopefully they can crush the opponents bottom six lines when they are on the ice.

I'd look at someone like Dumba from the Wild via trade. He might be available next offseason when the Parise/Suter buyout money gets real expensive and they also have Calen Addison who looks like a solid prospect that can slot in on their 2nd pair next year. He is obviously a downgrade on Rielly, but he is still a really good top 4 defenseman that is right handed as well. He has an absolute bomb from the point which could be a threat on the PP.

I don't see Dobson getting more than this at 2 years, maybe at 3 years he gets an extra 1M like Jokiharju but a 2 year bridge should fall around 1.5-2M, similar to Valimaki</div></div>
Obviously purely speculation, but I think he will have big year this year which would earn him that contract. But if the contract was given today, it would likely come in around what you proposed IMO.

I would probably think Salo or Bolduc takes that 3LD position and Dobson will likely come in at double that. You can fit that under the cap. Ekholm and Pulock contracts look good, but I'd imagine Pulock would get 7 or 8 rather than 6 years.

My line combos - atlantic
Kase won't be on LTIR to start. He is healthy. Robertson will likely get the chance to start the season in the AHL unless he blows everyone away during camp. I would move Bunting to his slot, move Kase to Mikheyev's and then move Mikheyev down to 4th line LW. Simmonds will 100% start as well over Brooks. Would love Liljegren to get a chance over Dermott on opening night but I don't think that is likely so I would switch them too. Rielly also plays with Brodie and Muzzin with Holl.

Likely locks As of Now
Brooks is 100% not a lock as the 13th forward. He will have to earn that by playing better than Engvall. Every single team has players the want to keep and there are more talented players than Brooks that will be put on waivers, so your argument is flawed. Ho-Sang won't be more than a player that likely plays for the Marlies. I only see him playing NHL games if he firstly impresses during camp so that he earns a contract, and then we have injuries to Marner, Nylander or Kase he could potentially slide in to one of those roles. Other than that, it is hard to see him playing games for the Leafs. Your lineup is wrong as well, Kerfoot will not be the 3C (Kämpf) and Rielly plays with Brodie not Holl.
This will most likely be our lineup if there are no more trades:
Ritchie-Matthews-Marner
Bunting-Tavares-Nylander
Kerfoot-Kämpf-Kase
Mikheyev-Spezza-Simmonds
Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Sandin-Dermott
Campbell
Mrazek
Engvall as the healthy scratch.
