Thread: 2023 NHL Offseason Discussion Thread #4 - The quiet period

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>I’m late but I haven’t met any NHLers before. However I have met Carlton the bear if that counts. My dad has met Gabriel Landeskog also because he used to teach at the same school as Landy went to in junior and we have his signed jersey.</div></div>

I’ve met quite a few guys over the years. I never met Wayne but I did meet Walter, nicest guy you’d ever meet. I grew up near Brantford.

First NHLer I ever met was an old timer from Brantford named Jack Shewchuk. He was on the 1942 Bruins cup winning team! Last Brantford connection was Keith Jones, the now member of the Flyers front office. He’s 2 years older than me so I was acquainted you could say with him through school and playing hockey. I’m not claiming we were great friends or anything. I also played with and again Keith Primeau. There are may others but those are the most interesting.

Thread: What If Crosby Wanted to Play with CB

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>Probably this. It would necessitate a complete rebuild in PIT and drive a MASSIVE revenue decline. FSG would require a huge payment instead of just keeping him. Maybe if he outright demanded a trade they would just unload him, but otherwise it would be in the org.'s best interest to play him until he retires. Of course this makes little sense for CHI but I understand the hypothetical nature of it unlike some otheres.</div></div>

Yep, as interesting as that package is, those kids aren’t selling tickets and merchandise for a few years. The owners would have to eat some money in the short term and owners are too near sighted for that.

Even in an alternate universe where that magically happens… you can’t have top 10 protection on a 1st in a trade for one of the greatest players ever.

The odds of Buffalo finishing 2nd and the Rangers finishing above the Canes are about the same as my odds of getting a date with Margot Robbie.

Thread: A Nylander trade I Actually Dont Hate

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>Rangers have the same cap situation so if leafs can’t handle it then neither can NY. It’s the wrong destination. TOR is in their window to win, NYR are in the prelude to their window. And it’s only going to be considered as “window” because of guys like wheeler and one signing small discount deals to play there. Rangers wouldn’t move their pieces for the window today for a rental. Your expectations of a return is pretty solid but the deal with NYR doesn’t work.</div></div>

I get it, it’s much like my old idea of reading him to Colorado straight up for Toews, rentals for everyone.

Thread: A Nylander trade I Actually Dont Hate

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>When you make a team you need it well rounded. Kampf is the 3rd line center, he literally takes all the d-zone faceoffs. So your expecting Domi's a below average defensive player who is a better winger to take on a role he shouldn't be playing. Does Kampf still take most of the d-zone faceoffs with Reaves as part of the shutdown line, not likely. Bottom six on your team. 3rd line Domi-Kampf-Raddysh 4th line Jarnkrok-Lafferty-Reaves.</div></div>

All good points and I was just thinking more of how to get a decent deal if one needs to happen rather than lines.

Thread: A Nylander trade I Actually Dont Hate

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>This is literally the year for the leafs.. why would they downgrade.. makes no sense. You may never see a cup, this is the best chance at it. A few added years of having Kakko isn’t worth it. If I could see the NYR win another cup this year I’d give up all assets for that cup and suck for 20-40 years after in a heartbeat</div></div>

I have no desire to see Nylander go but something has to be done about our crap cap situation. I’d be fine with sending Jarnkrok somewhere for minimal return as much as I like the guy. If Nylander were to go we would need a cheaper younger winger back and Kaapo is an example of that. Raddysh is also a diamond in the rough that I want to see in a Leafs sweater.

Thread: bias aside is the value far off

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>It's that far off. Not only do goalies not tend to carry that much trade value (especially the way the position is trending), but what sense is it for the Leafs to bring back Saros in the deal when their window essentially slams shut by sending their 1C out the door?</div></div>

I don’t care if it’s prime Hasek or Roy, I’m not dealing one of the elite of elite centres for a goalie.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>What would a realistic Matthews trade look like?</div></div>

The answer is that it’s not happening. He can sign here for 4-5 years and then hit free agency after that for a killing in a 100 million dollar cap.
