Thread: Eichel Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Why has Theodore's name started being added in Eichel trades? Has it been rumoured? I don't see why Vegas should trade him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chrismurtagh</b></div><div>A couple of games ago they paired Theodore with Martinez. It was the first time they had done that in a long time, because Martinez was playing with Pietrangelo. Theodore played best when paired with Martinez, so reading between the lines it seems like they wanted Theodore to have a showcase game to make him worth more in an Eichel deal.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>A Vegas beat writer put out a Twitter thread with this idea bc the signed Whitecloud to his extension then signed Hutton

He was just speculating based on those 2 moves</div></div>

Seems crazy to me. He's been number 5 or 6 in Norris voting two years in a row, is locked in through his prime at a fair deal. Should be nearly untouchable.

Thread: Set the league on fire
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chrismurtagh</b></div><div>Honestly no idea which side is getting the better deal and which isn't. When you have too many star players in a deal the values are really tough to judge. Maybe remove Krebs from the Vegas side and replace with a 2nd or something like that would be better.</div></div>
My angle is that the move from Stone to Matthews is marginal, as Stone is similar in quality and pretty much takes on a center's defensive responsibilities once the puck drops. If it was one-for-one (probably with a decent pick or prospect on the Stone side), I could see it happening. The value falls off when considering the Rielly for Theodore + Krebs portion, in which the Leafs get more value by far. It's a nice trade idea though, only that I'd nix the second portion.
