Thread: Funk21 Nylander trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>Doesn't matter. This trade gives the Leafs 3 guys at positions they don't need. There's no incentive for them to make it. If a deal were to happen (unlikely between these 2 teams) it would start with DeAngelo then add more</div></div>

Seeing as I am being dragged into this trade I will respond. Buchnevich is a small downgrade to Nylander in my opinion, Georgiev could be the goalie we are looking for and at almost half the price. Andersen needs a new contract and will likely be out of our price range. As for his record, his playoffs have been meh. Lemieux is a great 4th line player who will add some physicality and grit too our lineup. He is also still young.

Provided we can get Pesce for Andersen plus and can snag Anderson from the CBJ I would do that trade.

Thread: Leafs 2021
Words cannot express how badly constructed team you have created:
Robertson a full rookie becomes your top LW?
You trade a kid in Mikheyev who has a defensive game, some jam, decent offence for Magic Beans. Lastly you expect him to play 4th line minutes.....
You trade our only decent RHD and for PK no less
The Sabres trade is a joke, Bot’s while an idiot would laugh at you for that offer
Thornton is our 2LW, really. Ahead of Hyman?
Galchenyuk is not a C, he couldn’t hack it in MTL, Pit or Zona but somehow magically he will be that guy we need....
Simmonds ahead of Clifford? Look I get that there was higher ceiling in the past but he has fallen off a cliff.
Dermott for a 3rd, guy is an established NHLer, young. No arbitration rights likely. He is worth a second and likely a small add to that.

Jeez man this is one of the worst teams I have ever seen constructed. Bravo!

Thread: Radical Offseason
The reasoning behind the one year deal for Mikheyev is the uncertainty with his hand plus cap considerations. Grigorenko is a wild card but he has been linked to TML last summer and I think he would be a more suited to third line role with some skilled players on either wing. Also neither player needs to be protected.

Robertson is a wild card obviously but if he can make the jump he could be Marchand 2.0.

Obviously the signing of Pietrangelo solidifies our D Corp. Liljegren gets a solid vet to play beside and Holl ideally moves down to the third pairing where he should be.

As to why the Sabres trade their 1st in 2020, there would be conditions if it ends up top 10 no dice but they get 3 full time roster players. Both AJ and Kerfoot add 40-50 points each. Kerfoot can play 3C or LW. Dermott will slot in nicely on the third pairing and adds some grit in the way he plays. I suspect a 2.5 million per for 3 or 4 years would do. Sabres would still have a ton of cap space to resign Reinhart. Hopefully Middlestat and Cozens can make the jump to their 2C. I think Middlestat takes another year in the AHL replaces Kerfoot who is exposed in the draft. If I am the Sabres I also trade my 2020 2nd or Miller to CBJ for Anderson. They also go after Holtby to solidify their goalie position.

Sabres

Skinner Eichel Anderson
AJ Cozens Reinhart
Olofsson Kerfoot Okposo
Girgenson Johansson Frolik

Dahlin Ristolinen
McCabe Montour
Dermott Jokiharju
Miller

Holtby
Hutton

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeyThePensFan</b></div><div>Yes, I agree that they all got a little bit more than they deserved. Of course Marner is an elite player, but I think what I offered was fair in value. A top 6 Forward, a top 4 defenseman and a 1st Round pick. How much more can a player be worth? He isn’t Gretzky.</div></div>

You changed your offer after what I suggested to potentially get a deal done and I asked for two firsts. Look just saying nobody in Toronto believes Nylander is the more important player regardless of some possession metrics. Nylander will likely be a 60-70 point guy unless he continues to play the way he has the past 6-7 games. Does he have the skill to be Pasta, yes but he hasn’t had the motor up until recently. Marner has the skill and motor. It may come down to one being forced to be shipped out but I think AJ and Kap get moved before either of them.
