Thread: Fabbri and Bortuzzo - TDL
My thoughts are that all these players are on expiring deals. So we are talking about rentals.

Chiarot - Even the hockey writer's say hope for a 1st but expect a 3rd. We are talking about a 30 year old, stay-at-home UFA Dman lacking foot speed. Martinez and Scandella didn't even net firsts. He would be supplementary for any contending team, but I do think a deal with picks on another team would be more likely.

Fabbri - I think Fabbri for Dermott with a sweetener makes sense, sure, I probably chose the wrong one but your getting a young NHL caliber Dman to help on the left side. maybe a mid level prop[ect or pick makes more sense

Johansson - is a fourth liner in his 30's also a UFA... he would be worth next to nothing as it is but if ya take Ritchie's deal they get a serviceable fourth liner next year and TO would have to sweeten it a bit, he may not score but its only 2.5 million for a year, if you get something for nothing its not like we are talking about a $6 million dollar contract

They feel like hockey trades more likely for the offseason then the TDL but I feel the value is there, just maybe not exactly what each team is looking/hoping for.

Thread: Shake It Up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>So, needing scoring help at forward and quality at RD, we're going to trade 5 years of Fowler for one year of Rielly and one year of our best right-handed forward for however many years of Dermott he manages to stay in the top trio with Lindholm and Fleury? I don't think so.

I'll bet Blake Coleman gets twice that, in both money and term.</div></div>

Just having some fun with it, my thoughts are:

When does your competitive window open? 3 years maybe? so you actually looking at 2-3 years of a 32-33 year old Fowler and Reilly could be flipped for good futures
Rakell is a rental and bringing in a 23 year old NHL defensemen with team control has quite a bit of value

As for Coleman, you may be right but I think that depends where he wants to play. It will be tough for him to get term and dollars from a contender in the second year of a flat cap.

Not saying the Leafs are a contender from what I saw this year and MTL would have the cap space.... so who knows.
