Thread: Simple unexciting trades NSH OTT MIN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>truculence67</b></div><div>That's a valid argument. Teams have to overpay for players at the deadline though and Ottawa will have plenty of suitors for DeMelo if they decide to trade him. They aren't going to trade him to a division rival for the same as what a Western conference team will offer for him either</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>truculence67</b></div><div>Also... if you look at what other RHD's are available on lottery teams it is very slim pickings</div></div>

You would also have to believe more defenceman will become available as we get closer to the deadline... and just because you are not a lottery team tanking doesn’t mean you know you won’t make the playoffs. There is different stages of bad lol.

But I do see your points. As for the whole trading within the division thing... that generally applies to people with term or if a team still thinks they have a shot. Ottawa knows they don’t have a shot this year and will just look for best deal regardless of team... if the draft goes well maybe they think differently next year.

Thread: Maple Leafs de Toronto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arousedcat</b></div><div>This is an awful deal for the Wild and the Leafs can't afford to take on this much cap if they want to keep Matthews and Marner. I wouldn't mind a deal centered around Kapanen+ for Spurgeon, but there's no way we throw in Coyle and Nino for a bunch of depth pieces as the + portion.</div></div>

I love spurgeon and believe he is the perfect type of underrated player that the leafs need... But kapanen+ other assets is not happening. If the leafs are going to upgrade their blueline it will not come at the expense of their forwards unless that name is brown. Kapanen and johnsson arent going anywhere. They are young and cheap and both have a reasonable chance at being signed to team friendly ish deals.

Thread: Tavares 19-20
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>T_Bone_21</b></div><div>They can ask for Draisaitl money all they want but it doesn't mean they're going to get it. Chiarelli blew it giving him that contract, that was the highest 2nd contract in NHL history if you don't include McDavid

Pastrnak just got 6 years 6.7M. Ehlers got 7 years, 6.0M

Just cause one bad GM did it, doesn't mean the Leafs are going to. Marner and Nylander combining for somewhere around 14 is very realistic</div></div>

Well said... I think 14 mill between the 2 is even a little high. I love nylander but he isnt exactly lighting the world in fire....

Plus goals gets you more money than assists do. Neither of them have 20 at the moment so the leafs could probably use that to their advantage and get them at 6 each... The ehlers deal.
