Thread: TDL Spit ball
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>The cost to upgrade from Kerfoot to Kempe isn’t Hallander. And Iaffalo, as a rental, is in no way worth a first, a second and Kral.</div></div>

Well, you're clearly wrong about the upgrade from a bottom sixer to a top sixer not being worth more than Hallander, and I think you're looking at this trade incorrectly.

I think that your analysis is led astray by the misconception that Kerfoot, Hallander and Kral have some trade value <strong><em>to Los Angeles</em></strong>. They might, to some team like Boston or Pittsburgh which needs depth players and has a shallow prospect pool, but Los Angeles isn't deficient in either area. Kerfoot wouldn't fit at center because we have Vilardi, Turcotte, Byfield and Anderson-Dolan coming up and he wouldn't take Kempe's place at LW because Athanasiou is a faster and cheaper alternative. Hallander isn't a better prospect than Kaliyev and Grundstrom is already maturing into a mid-6 LW, so he's well ahead of Hallander in development. Kral isn't in the top 3 of your own LD prospects and wouldn't be higher than Kale Clague, Cole Hults or Kim Nousiainen on our LD prospect depth chart.

In short, I think that the right way to look at this proposed exchange is that the difference between Kempe and Kerfoot is more than a first, and Iafallo is worth more than a second and two B prospects. In particular, I think that you should strongly reconsider your assertion that the difference between Kempe and Kerfoot isn't Hallander. Kempe is faster, two years younger, cheaper and under team control for twice as long.

But we're still friends.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DanishLeafsfan</b></div><div>I agree with what you say, they are both overpays. But you pay for insurance. I don't wanna see a playoff series were I have to resort to Marincin, Liljegren, Sandin instead of Muzzin, Brodie or Reilly. Then I would prefer to have an old but proven NHL shutdown D as backup. Besides either Dermott or Kerfoot are likely to be lost in the Expansion draft. Hill serves two two purposes. He has future potential, and is a much better option than Hutchinson should Campbell or Andersen go down.</div></div>

Pick up a 7th dman better than Marincin then for like a 5th. I'm not giving up Dermott++ for a 10 game insurance policy.

If Kerfoot or Dermott are likely lost to expansion, then who gets taken instead of them? Don't forget a certain number of players have to be exposed that hit the min game requirements.

I don't feel like figuring it out, but your trades may end up costing the Leafs Holl.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarner_16</b></div><div>Really I don’t get the obsession with acquiring Getzlaf for literally 15 regular season games and the playoffs.

I get veteran leadership and such, but we have a ALOT of that already, (Simmonds, Muzzin, Soezza, Jumbo) and having to give that much up for half a season of getzlaf makes no sense.</div></div>

I'd be fine with Getzlaf, I think his contribution of this ice could be more than any of our other vets, but I would assume the price would be pretty low. He'd have full say over where he'd want to go which would bring the value way down. I agree he's gone at the end of the season.

I don't think I'd give up Kerfoot for him straight up, but then it becomes an issue about fitting in that caphit.

End of the day there's a 0.01% chance of it happening, so not much point in putting too much thought into it.
