Thread: Last Year of Buyout Hell
Ok Toronto fans are going to chew this deal up and spit it out. Here's the issue that fans need to realize. Knies was on the 1st line for part of the season with Matthews and only put up 36 points. Based on value and what he can be, Knies couldn't even fetch Rossi anymore without Toronto adding to that deal. I don't mind the trade above and giving a bit more to pry a younger asset from them. I would see if any veteran would be willing to waive the NMC and us retain half on a deal. So maybe a Foligno/Hartman added with us keeping half their contract. But I don't think this trade is as far off as fans will say it is. The Faber for Knies and a 1st is wild. The 25th overall pick and Knies doesn't equal Faber.

Also, every year that goes by without them going for it means they are wasting the roster away. I look at the Penguins as the team that got the most out of their superstars. I think the Leafs need to take the same approach. I think their D-core is pretty bad. Maybe a Spurgeon could help them on the right side. I think getting Knies would be huge for us tho, I think GusBus/Spurgeon could be on the move this summer. We need to get a younger and bigger right handed d-man in there.
