Thread: what about Toews or Pelech from NYI
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>Very informative. Thanks! So from what I gather Toews is basically a no go (fair enough). Pelech could be had at the right price, but his price is inflated for what he brings due to a great contract. Am I off?

As I said this is just hypothetically speaking. If they were a scenario that Lou just isn't getting the offers he's hoping for for Leddy (you NYI fans can't always be spoiled with Hamonic type deals lol), and he decides to keep him. You all seem pretty convinced he's gone though...</div></div>

Hi blazingbat, I think your order is right. It's about marginal value, and getting a top 4 d for $700k, $1.6m, $2m provides great marginal value (value over what it would cost to sign a similar player). Now, jury is out on Mayfield as top 4, but hes at least an elite 5/6 on a great contract. That's why isles fans are asking for kapanen for Mayfield, on talent alone its lopsided but factor in contracts and it's much more even.

The discussion on toews or pulock realistically starts with someone like domi plus Suzuki and a pick. (I think kotkaniemi is too much, but not out of the question). Or, take on salary (ladd, boychuk, komarov, clutterbuck) and keep domi. Something like that.

As for leddy, I would say he is pretty adequately paid for a 3/4 lhd (so little marginal value), has term, and still can skate. I'd say high end is a mid 1st or b+ prospect, floor would be high 2nd. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle (2 2nds?). That's probably the reason for all the proposed leddy trades, it just seems most realistic.
