100 point player? One season, he’s 29 years old and a UFA after next season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Not really he won't go to the dirty areas on the ice and that's been his problem most of his career. That still leaves the 4th line RW spot open. You also have Nylander who only played 54 games last season because of his hold out. Engvall has played 44 games mostly playing RW but he is a LW. if Bracco was any good after 3 years in the AHL he would've been called up at least once or maybe even traded. He's an AHL player at best.</div></div>

Couple things.. the Nylander hold out was the year before last. Bracco was the MVP of the Marlies Calder Cup run that year... also, Engvall played more as a LW/C than he ever did as a RW for the Leafs last year. Bracco had an off year in the A last year after having an excellent one the year prior but I think it was due to a beef that he felt he should get a roster spot and a spot was not made for him. There was talk that he requested a trade and he actually stopped playing for the Marlies before the deadline and didn’t come back before the Covid stoppage. He may be a career AHL’er but he may also not be. Too soon to say at this point, in my opinion. You are also entitled to your opinion as well, it just doesn’t seem to be a well informed one.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mediocrity_Incoming</b></div><div>He would be a spare part in Pittsburgh. Jarry is the future and for the pens to give up the younger cheaper goalie to take on an impending UFA for jist a 4th is ludicrous. Id rather not have Anderson amd take slmething back that the pens will use more than 20-30 games.</div></div>

I see where you are coming from. Jarry still hasn’t played 200 NHL games, so you don’t necessarily know what you have in him for certain, at this point. I could see Andersen excelling even further with a team that supports him better. Maybe the pick could be optional and become a higher selection under the conditions that Andersen doesn’t resign, or the Pens don’t make it past the 2nd round of next year’s playoffs? If a deal involving Andersen and Murray can’t appease both sides, Toronto could also just sign a UFA goalie and trade Andersen for picks/prospects somewhere else. Just doing this for fun based off the rumours.. lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Philvr</b></div><div>I just don’t like getting rid of picks espically first round for a guy that hasn’t played a full season ever. Pateryn is not a second pairing player and I think Derek Ryan is only a fourth line kind of guy but he would be a good addition.</div></div>

The team is seemingly stuck in limbo, until the right defensemen can be brought in to help balance things out.
In order to bring in a top flight guy, some sort of sacrifice will have to be made. A healthy Tanev is a great fit, at a good cost, on a shorter term deal. You’d have to figure next years’ first would be late and the prospect pool is currently in great shape. It could be a better option over flipping a guy like Nylander, which would weaken the offense. Their seems to be depth that could fill in for Tanev should he need games off to stay healthy.

Take a look at Pateryn’s numbers last year with Dallas. It was only one season but he proved to be an effective second pairing guy and a beast on the PK.

Ryan is basically a smaller but faster Bozak, who will likely be more cost effective. He can provide all the same skills that Bozak did (secondary scoring, PP, great at faceoffs, good with puck possession) and averaged the same amount of ice time as Bozak last year (15+ minutes per game). He’s not a fourth line guy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mitch11</b></div><div>"We want to win the cup next year? Let's get Derek Ryan, Greg Pateryn and Luke Glendening!" -Kyle Dubas 2018

I am mostly kidding. It would be nice to get another (good-ish) center or two, but what about Aaltonen? He should be in the middle. Otherwise, I do not think Pateryn is the addition that we need to the defense. I like the idea of getting Tanev, although a slight bit more incentive might be needed.</div></div>

Keep in mind that this would be the line up to start the year, not heading into the playoffs. Decent complementary pieces added but also room for some young players to crack the team.

Aaltonen is unproven at the NHL level. He would have to earn his spot, whether it be at centre or wing. I felt Glendening was needed to help replace the effective PK minutes that will be absent with Komarov departing.

If you followed Pateryn last year, you would realize that he quietly had a strong season, averaging over 19 minutes a night on Dallas’ second pairing, with a plus 6 rating. He also logged the second most minutes of any Dallas player, on their PK unit, which finished the season ranked 14 out of 31 teams. He is a perfect fit beside an offensive partner like Gardiner. He’s a shut down guy that also provides some physicality and strength, which would be welcomed with Polak walking.
