Thread: Some fringe movement
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>adamorimoli61</b></div><div>I like the idea of the Killorn trade, but we might have to give up a bit more to the team retaining the money (in this case Detroit).

Also, maybe its a better idea to go after a more "available" guy like Yanni Gourde. I'd say he probably fits nicer and it allows us to replace Kerfoot at 3C, since Haula at 1.5 doesn't seem very realistic. Just a thought.</div></div>

I believe Killorn is more availble imo, and has ties to the Toronto area, and would waive his nmc I believe. I agree Probaly would have to give up more in terms of a higher pick or more prospects. But gourdes to pricey imo, and Haula had a down year, a couple years in Toronto to build back up his value on a checking line with some pp would allow him for a chance at one final pay day. But I can understand why you think it’s unrealistic. It factors into him betting on himself and Toronto as a team.

Thread: Restructure the Forwards
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Sorry, I can't see the logic that just because Sandin makes the Leafs full time next year, Liljegren is traded. Leafs might lose 3 of top 7 by this summer so replacements are needed. Teams need eight NHL competent Dmen to make it through an NHL season. There is lots of playing time for both Liljegren and Sandin. Really this "bottom pair" scenario is pure nonsense. Dermot who in the past two seasons played "bottom pair" behind LHD Reilly and Muzzin played 17 minutes a game. Gee, when playing 17 minutes a game, you can't call those sheltered minutes.</div></div>

I agree about the 8 D hence why they’ll sign guys to league minimums near the end of there career for depth. And 17 minutes is sheltered when playing against 3-4 liners the whole time with no pp time and little to no pk.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Don't know. why you say Bennett can be a solid 3C...he's never proved it in his 5 years in the NHL. And certainly the Leafs who are in win mode, aren't going to develop him on the fly this season.

Nonsense that Liljegren needs a "fresh start". He's at the development stage, no different than most other player selected where he was in his draft year. The Leafs might need him this season, and with Lehtonen and Bogosian UFA next summer, and the possible loss of either Dermot or Holl to expansion, Liljegren certainly is needed by the Leafs</div></div>

Bennett would literally need to work on his faceoffs and D position to play for the leafs. From his talent he’d be able to do it easy. Liljgren will be traded, Sandin is farther along in the developmental process players nowadays from where he was drafted should be in the nhl sheltered on the bottom pair. Yes the leafs stacked up, however they won’t be playing him with Sandin on the bottom pair next year, which is where Sandin will play. When they drafted him it was who I wanted, I still want him to be apart of the future just logically speaking can’t see it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>That's a big overpay for one year of Forsberg. Dermot and Liljegren are expected to NHL starters and next season and to include Nylander. Absolutely nonsense to put Bennett to play 3C...Gee he can't play that position for the Flames, he can't play it for the Leafs. Leafs keep the Engvall and the pick.</div></div>

Nashville is exploring trades why I explored this trade they will want more since they want to re-tool on the fly. If you read my description you’d see and understand they won’t have room for Them or Dermott would possibly be picked by Seattle at the expansion draft. Bennett can and will be a solid 3C for someone just needs a change of scenery on a strong team who has patience to properly develop him as a center.
