Thread: Minimal External moves for potential Leafs 2021
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Benchwarmer4Life</b></div><div>I like your thought process... and it’s original. I think though tough to make any trades with Tampa because their cap is worse than ours.

I’ve definitely been looking for half decent 3rd or 4th line players with some grit.

That right side D is pretty bad though Holl would get eaten alive and schenn I believe was a minus on Tampa</div></div>

yeah the Tampa one is a tough one for sure thats why one of the players I sent back was Dermott for some potential cost effective D for them the biggest block on that would be Kappenin, but u could do a Dermott for just Barclay and a pick and then dump Kapi for picks elsewhere too. Also I dont mind Holl on second pair he does decently well there especially when he plays with Muzzin that'd leave Schenn on the 3rd pair if at all and I think at limited minutes (either as just a 3rd pair or as an in/out with either Marincin/Liljegrin as a rotate) would be fine (also u are right he was -8 with TB this season)

Thread: Leafs Revamped post Dubas press conference
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McRanteskog</b></div><div>I just find this never ending cycle so funny.
TOR fan base complains that they spent too much money on their top 4 and now they don’t have enough money to get F depth or Defence.

Then everyone proposes trading away one of the expensive big 4, only to then go and spend 8-10 mil on just signing Pietro lmao</div></div>

Yeah I think a lot of people think that spreading the $ around (aka moving a forward to spend some $ on D) will cure the ails of the club. Biggest problem I have with this lineup is I dont think Nylander is going anywhere so if forwards are going out its likely Johnsson/Kapanen, I also think the org has a higher opinion of both Mikheyav and Barbanov then u have them listed as.

Imo Mik/Tavares/Willy starts the year as line 2, Robertson/Kerfoot/Barbs is line 3 and they use the trades to pick up a D around the $3-4m range and some depth/grit options and maybe some picks to bolster the prospect pool a little bit (I did a GM sim based on this on the site if u wanna take a look)
