Thread: Big retool If theres another first round exit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EEEEE15</b></div><div>I asked someone else this too so I wanna know your opinion on this as well. Since y'all clearly arent trading roy, im guessing sooner than later, one of durzi or walker is gone. My question is, do you think either of those guys can be 2nd pairing dman by next season? Because if they can then id like for the leafs to target them. Also what would be their value. Thanks for your response.</div></div>

I think Walker could be, and I think Durzi might develop into that over the course of another year or two. Durzi's defense still needs work, but he's gotten some PK time and should get better as he gets more minutes.

Value for Walker is a little strange right now with his injury. I think he's worth at least a 2nd but others from relatively unbiased views seem to think that's off. And it's too soon in Durzi's career to put a hard value on him. He's still a bit of an unknown.

It's not that the Kings aren't trading Roy, it's just they aren't at the spot where they can yet. The only defenseman in the pipeline that can replace the style and minutes of Matt Roy (defensive D-man, heavy PK minutes, plays in the last bit to protect a lead type of game) is Brock Faber, who is still in college. I expect Faber to turn pro at the end of this season and then get a year of AHL time. After that, the Kings will have legitimate discussions on whether Roy is tradeable.

Thread: Nucks - Leafs offseason blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EEEEE15</b></div><div>Alright I respect your opinion. Everyone has their sort of point of view, and this might be my bias but I believe that when he's playing at his best like he was before he got someone cold this season, Nylander is a top 10 RW in this league. That's why I believe a return like that is warranted but I can see why someone might be skeptical.</div></div>

When he is on he is ON. 💯

When he is off he is not even in the building.

Garland from what I’ve seen is always doing his thing whether ARZ/VAN are the the outhouse of the league or winning. Now I haven’t watched every game or as many as I have of Nylander so I might have just got many of his good games but I do believe his analytics are 🔥. All that being said I think it’s what both teams need and a deal surrounding those 2 would be great

Thread: Balancing the Lineup Without Moving Core 4
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EEEEE15</b></div><div>I can see where you're going with this but all of those contracts are easily tradable when needed. I think the leafs haven't had a proper checking line in a while. Id much rather put players like bunting and robertson on league minimum with the top lines because great players make others better. Every bottom 6 contract can be traded. This also allows as to change lines as players such as nichushkin can play on the top 6 as well. Leafs will always be in cap hell in the matthews era of contending, might as well have a proper playoff lineup.</div></div>

Lol. Hard to disagree with cap hell lol.

I think Nikushkin can be had for a little less, but you are wrong in saying the Leafs haven't had a checking line in a while...... improving the defense doesn't always mean getting a defenseman. Can be done with the forward corps too.
