<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Oof, you don't watch Canes hockey huh? Kotkaniemi played 2C start of the season, scored at a PPG pace first 20 games, then Aho got hurt, so KK moved up to 1C, struggled, Drury started scoring as the 2C (about a half a point per game pace) and kept the spot. Since then, both Jarvis and Necas (who have also both had success as natural centers) have played in that role, oh and Staal STILL gets more TOI than Kuznetsov... just admit you've done no research and are trying to push a braindead narrative</div></div>

Kuznetsov's 5on5 icetime in Carolina: 12:51 per game
Staals' 5on5 icetime in Carolina (the past 4 games while Kuznetsov has been there): 11:46

No wait, it's even dumber. I figured it was true cause Staal probably still plays special teams while Kuznetsov doesn't but no .... it's just plain flat out wrong.

Kuz's ice time per game: 15:35
Staal's: 14:44

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>You really trying to argue Carolina's center depth is bad? Are you high or drunk? Tavares isn't playing like a 2C anymore. Staal will at least continue to be a dominant chance creating center who will finish top 5 in Selke voting. He'll do everything Tavares is doing better than Tavares, extends the Leafs window with cheap scoring depth, and gets to go home to Ontario (yeah, I know Thunder Bay is in the middle of nowhere and like 5 hours from Toronto, but it's close enough for this).</div></div>

The Canes have played Kotkaniemi as their 2C for most of the season and are trying to say they have good center depth? RIdiculous. Almost as ridiculous as saying that the 35+ year old center who has never scored at Tavares' current pace in his entire career is somehow going to be a better player than him.

Thread: What would it cost for Parayko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>No, but it's not farfetched to think we can't be in 2-3 years. It's much more obtuse to believe we could replace Parayko in 2-3 years.</div></div>

He will be 32-33 at that time. That's when guys really start to decline. His contract will start becoming a boat anchor, right when you want to be competitive again. Maybe he is slower to decline though. If his decline starts at 34 that would be really nice for St Louis.

Either way I think Doug Armstrong put them in a terrible position with those 4 D men all signed for several more years into their mid to late 30s. Add the Schenn contract on top of that. I think he has done a bad job in that regard! All with full No Trade Clauses by the way....

Thread: Long Term Improvements
I realise now that I missed named my team :tearsofjoy Was working on something else and then pivoted to this. This one should probably be named something like Keeping 1st Rounders. Sorry for the confusion!!<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>You are right. Peeke would be a cap dump. So why in the world do you think he would be a "long term improvement"?

We should not be accepting cap dumps from teams.

I would love Larsson but that 2nd would need to be a 1st. Seattle just won 9 games in a row and they are back in the playoff hunt. So I see it less likely than I did 1 month ago.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HollywoodHudon</b></div><div>How is Larsson for Niemela, Timmins, a 2nd and a 3rd "Long Term Improvements"???</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Just to add how are upcoming UFAa Trenin, long term? Plus a negative cap hit in Peeke.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Carleton</b></div><div>Peeke is bad, but Columbus isn’t cap strapped to have to pay a 3rd to dump him. a team MIGHT pay a late pick for him and Columbus could get him off their hands.

He’s not a long term improvement and is not good in a top 4 role.</div></div>

Sorry for the confusion everyone, this team was missed named :tearsofjoy I was working on something much more retool like before changing my mind and making this team. Should be named something like Keeping 1st. Thanks for the replies nonetheless.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>Savard would be in your top 4 tomorrow, Monahan is an upgrade on Domi and Allen would be the Leafs starter. All while taking back the cap dump of Samsonov.

Also, Niemela is a nothing prospect, wouldnt even be in the top 10 prospects for the Habs</div></div>

Allen would not be a starter over woll. Niemella is more than a nothing prospect as some still project him as an NHL dman potential top 4 most likely top 6. But yes Monahan is an upgrade Domi. I would trust Domi a little more offensively, but the 3rd line also sees a lot of defensive assignments and Monahan greatly outperforms Domi defensively. Savard would not help as McCabe is getting better. Liljegren is better, Reilly is better. Also Giordano, Benoit, lagesson and Timmins gives us 4 dman more than capable of patrolling the 4 to 8 d man range for minutes. ( Yes I would prefer a better top 4 among them but Savard for his salary and expectations would not improve the Leafs.
