Thread: dubas type deals

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CastingCouchGuy</b></div><div>The blues trading Schwartz makes no sense for them</div></div>

I agree with you but I have heard this rumour a lot recently and the more talk there is the more I wonder if there's some truth to it. If there is, I'd be interested.

Thread: Trades for playoffs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>digitalbath</b></div><div>To me, this logic doesnt make sense,

Its either Kerfoot is worth a 3rd straight up, which then means Foligno WITH 50% retained is worth a 1st or a high prospect

OR

Foligno is worth a 2nd and a 4th with retained salary, but then theres no way Kerfoot is worth a 3rd straight up ..

I dont see how it can be both</div></div>

Foligno is 7 years older, has fewer points and if I'm not mistaken worse underlying numbers. He USED to be worth a lot, I'm not really sold that he still is so I think you might be overvaluing him. That said, teams love to overpay for veterans with some grit so you might be right, idk.

Thread: Am I Nuts

I wouldn't say crazy, I just can't envision a scenario where FLA trades Driedger. Especially with Bobrovsky being sort of meh this year, they have a legit chance at a long playoff run and Driedger likely factors into it.

Thread: Next Years Leafs

Honestly, I'd rather that they just pay SEA not to take Holl (offer them a pick, maybe a prospect, whatever needs to be done) then to replace him with someone like Hjalmarsson. Mostly because he hasn't been good in four seasons and we don't know how much of that is him being in AZ and how much of it is him being 33-years-old and washed. Holl has been very good for the team and if we're upgrading the Top-4, and there are potential available upgrades out there, it might be worth it to have him to play on the third pairing with Sandin next season for $2M.

Also I think you might be dramatically overpaying for Bennett.

Thread: Hear me out

For the Leafs to get Bernier from Detroit they will have to throw in a pick or prospect since both goalies are on expiring deals but I like where you're going with that. He's been good on a **** team and did a lot in Toronto's net with very little in front of him. Had that bad year at the end and that's how everyone remembers him but he's bounced back and been solid in Detroit. He'd be a good stopgap.

Thread: SEA from the expansion draft simulator

Unless the Leafs trade for Ekholm, I doubt Holl is left available. Also, if he were, they'd probably trade a pick and a prospect to keep him. Same goes for a lot of guys on this prediction. A lot of teams will pay a lot of assets to keep players they deem necessary for their cup runs. And other GM's will prove to be terrible player evaluators and make really dumb moves to protect depth players with grit.

Thread: Seattle Kraken

Thing is, this doesn't take into account the STUPID decisions teams will make to protect guys that are available. The "We think this 3rd line winger is the key to our cup run, here's a wicked prospect, a bad contract, and a 1st round pick to not take him" deals that basically built the Vegas Golden Knights (CBJ, MIN, etc). And there's always one dumb GM (last time it was FLA) willing to part with some undervalued stud (Marchassault) to get rid of a guy who they undervalue with a hefty contract (Reilly Smith).

Thread: What needs to be done

Korpisalo is TRAAAASH. He has a good SV% against Toronto, that's why Leaf fans think he's good. He's had 1 (ONE) good season since 2016-17 and that was a .911 save percentage. He's been under .900 in 3 of his last 4 seasons including this one. Dude is TRASH. Not worth a 3rd PLUS a reliable top-6 winger with a good contract.

They are probably going to lose Ullmark in free agency anyway, believe he's a UFA, but I think they can get more for him.

Thread: question in description

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheresAlwaysNextYear</b></div><div>Where is that good defense? His turnover that lead to a goal?</div></div>

Show me one hockey player who hasn't had a turnover lead to a goal. And this after you use +/- and then tell someone they need more that "a corsi chart"... If you're this reactionary it's no wonder you are so low on Dermott. Dermott is a competent puck mover who skates well and generally makes the right decision. He's solid defensively and is a known commodity on the Leaf. Lehtonen appears to be more offensive but worse defensively... on a team trying to be better defensively. The problem with Lehtonen was he came over during COVID. He didn't get a proper camp, he didn't get pre-season games, and he missed time in his season prep because of quarantine. He really wasn't terrible in his nine games but he wasn't highly impressive, either. Should he have gotten a better shot? Maybe. But, when he did he was just okay. The Leafs moved him because he was their 7th D, they have Sandin and Liljegren waiting in the wings, and they had clearly promised him playing time they couldn't give him. It's a shame, but sometimes things work against you. I'm sure he'll be fine in CBJ but fiddling around with your 6th D isn't worth it. And if they sit Dermott for two weeks for Lehtonen to find out he is trash, then what? You have to get Dermott back up to game speed. Not worth it at this stage.

Thread: Making Changes

Hard no on the Nylander trade. I get not liking Willy, or undervaluing him, but Willy for the Rangers backup goalie? An .887 backup, no less. When the Leafs traded for Freddy, who had a longer and better track record than Georgiev, they paid a 1st and a 2nd. A late first at that. Now we're trading a young star?

Thread: hi Leaf fans

Had the Leafs not signed Brodie they could have been an option (and likely were). Would have taken one trade (Kerfoot) to free up the space needed to make it happen. Pietroangelo preferred Vegas.

Thread: My teacher came up with a theory about the powerplay

I just don't see the need to load up a second PP unit that will see almost no time on the ice. Especially in the playoffs where the whistles disappear for anything short of murder. May as well just load up PP1 with Nylander - JT - AM and Marner with.. actually, I don't hate Holl there but he's already going to be playing 20+ tough minutes at 5-v-5 and the PK so probably Rielly. Maybe replace JT with Simmonds for net-front (I would prefer Willy on the PP to give the Leafs another RHS).

Thread: Nylander and more picks

HARD. NO. And I love Brannstrom, was a big fan of his going into the draft, was happy VGK got him and annoyed when they traded him (I used to write for the team back in the first season and a half), but no. I don't think he's better than Sandin and I don't believe he beats Muzzin, Rielly, Brodie, or Holl for a spot. He's also not worth Nylander. Not to the Leafs.

Thread: Win now

Hard no on the first trade. I like Mikheyev more than Sissons and I really don't want to give up THAT much in a deal for Forsberg unless Ekholm is coming back too. Forsberg is good, I don't think the Leafs need to burn a 1 and multiple 2's on an upgrade for their second line. I'm not sure what the second deal accomplishes for either TOR or BUF.
