Could it be that NYR is bad at developing prospects?

Helps the yotes tank and they get younger assets for the future and a front-loaded contract with 1 year left and your divisional rival is paying for part of it?! This is a Melnyk move through and through, I expect it to happen now

Thread: Change in Toronto

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>There's also a 100% chance that Tkachuk would get a yearly Kadri-esque suspension every post season if he were in Toronto</div></div>

Just by the trade suggested....and I'm not really opposed to it. It's one year of Tkachuk who signs a QO for three years of Marner. At least the Leafs who have cap space when both Tkachuk and Marner aren't Leafs in the summer of 2023.[/quote]

The Marner for Tkachuk trade is palatable but I honestly think come playoff time he would be gone by game 2 at the latest.

I vehemently oppose the Nylander trade cause at this point I've spent years defending him and his contract and wouldn't move him for anything less than a superstar. I really like Konecny (I know he's currently on pace for 82 goals!!!!) and at the time was hopeful Toronto would have used that pick on him (or Aho!) in 2015 instead of the Bracco & Dermott trade back but he isn't Nylander and we gotta let that failed pick go like so many other missed picks (Gibson still haunts me).

Thread: Change in Toronto

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I'm amazed that that when the Leafs do poorly in the playoffs it's due to "Call it leadership, physicality, two-=way play, whatever but ultimately those are all traits Toronto seems to lack</div></div>". but then the solution seems to be trade player for players from teams who miss the playoffs more often than not. By that logic, those players have less grit.[/quote]

Thread: Change in Toronto

It is the year 2022 and the proposed solution to fixing the Leafs is still trading away Nylander I see. At least it's not for John Manson or Brett Pesce so that's nice

Thread: Strome Brothers

I think the 2nd rounder is too much. I feel like that needs to be downgraded to like a 4th?

The fact that this is where I'm focusing means this is a good proposal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Radu47</b></div><div>Liljegren is already an elite AHLer at 22 so

How is part of his potential "a solid AHLer"

I don't get the impression that people watch him a lot because his defensive play is arguably his best quality, he's so dynamic, so not really high risk in that sense

At worst at NHL level he'd be like idk hm...

A marcus Pettersson type asset but more mobile</div></div>

In this scenario does Tavares stay healthy or no? Not making excuses for last year's failure (they still should have won) but just having him in the lineup probably changes the outcome
