Edmundson was the 4th highest TOI for defensemen in the regular season and the 4th highest TOI for defensemen in the playoffs for the blues. I'm not saying he was the main reason, I'm just saying he wasn't a depth piece.

That's not even a line Montreal will have, but if we are straight comparing, the Leafs line is a better offensive line while Montreal's line is more defensive. So it's really whatever perspective you are bias towards.

Yes, grit is an element in doing so, and one that the Leafs have lacked for some time. They've addressed that, while still keeping the thing that makes you really win: talented hockey players.
MTL has no answer for the big 4 up front. Suzuki, Danault, and Kotkat are fine, but not even close to the same level. D is comparable - sure they play a bit of a different style but MTL's is no better.</div></div>
You act like there is only one way to win a hockey game. The Islanders have proven that you don't need franchise level players to win hockey games. There are multiple ways to win games and the Leafs are easily beaten because teams can adjust for their style of game,

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhavikp27</b></div><div>Winning the Stanley Cup is a team achievement.
And considering most of those winners were depth players, it doesn't affect the team that much. Bogosian and Edmundson are bad, Allen was part of the reason why the Blues were at the bottom of the standings before Binnington was recalled. Perry won the Cup 13 years ago. Anderson is a playoff performer when he has 8 pts in 21 games? Lehtonen hasn't played a game so you can't say he is bust.
Why do you think Montreal is built for playoff hockey?</div></div>
because they are built with toughness and aren't a one dimensional team. We can win with multiple gameplans. The only way the Leafs can win is by scoring. They can't rely on defense nor any other style of hockey.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>The problem is that the bottom 6 plays about 1 period a game, 33%. The Habs special teams have been terrible and their first 2 lines don't match up to the Leafs. They are counting to win more from that 33% than the other 66% and thats unlikely.</div></div>
The only thing the Habs first 2 lines don't match up to the Leafs is, is in offense. The Tatar-Danault-Gallagher line is one of the best shutdown lines in the league and Toronto can't do anything about it. I'd take Montreal's bottom 9 over Toronto's bottom 9 any day of the week. The only edge Toronto has on Montreal is their 1st line and that's debatable.

Your Bias is huge. A crappy defender? You realized he was a big part of why St.Louis won a cup right? Just because he didn't fit in with Carolina doesn't mean he's a bad defender. I have no idea who the terrible 4th liner is. The only reason we got Anderson was because he was injured, otherwise Columbus would never trade him. Players like him aren't available in trades ever. He's not there to put up points, but that's all Toronto knows how to do so I'm not surprised you don't realize there's other roles.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>depends how they shape their bottom 6, but Montreal's is terrible.
Leafs could easily have:
Robertson - Kerfoot - Mikheyev
Vesey - Spezza/Thornton - Simmonds
Against Montreal:
Drouin - Kotkaniemi - Armia
Byron - Poehling - Lehkonen
Leafs 4th line walks all over Montreal's, and 3rd line would be a good, fair battle. & Leafs top 6 would dominate Montreal. SO I don't see how your comment is relevant at all</div></div>
Byron-Kotkaniemi-Toffolli
Lehkonen-Evans-Armia
Leafs 4th line doesn't even come close to Montreal's. You don't put a Sabres reject with a 41 YO that skates like he's carry 100 LB of bricks and a guy who doesn't deserve to be in the NHL and expect it to come close to competing against any other line in the NHL. Leafs 3rd line is alright, but it's nothing to celebrate. When comparing it to Montreal's, you can't even compare. Montreal's bottom 6 is one of the best in the league.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>I think the Leafs would walk all over the Habs similar to how the Flyers did last season. People may think that Montreal is "built for playoffs" but they're really not. They were awful last season. Got bailed out by Price far too often. They're biggest issue is centre depth and Toronto's would bulldoze right through Montreal's. Matthews, Tavares, Thornton, Spezza, Kerfoot >>> Danault, Suzuki (1st year at centre), Kotkaniemi, and whoever else. LEafs have proven before to have no issues scoring on Price since the Matthews era began. Plus Toronto has revamped their defence to be mobile and shutdown worthy (wouldn't be shocked to see it be a top 10 defence this year)
Leafs in 5, maybe 6 if Price can steal an extra game.</div></div>
Montreal outplayed Philadelphia so I agree it would be the same scenario. Sorry, but adding T.J Brodie while losing who they lost doesn't make the Leafs defense any better. The Leafs IMO got worse this offseason.

I think Montreal is the better constructed team. 4 lines that can score goals and 3 defensive pairings that can play defense. If Price is Price, it's easily Montreal.

Do you realize that from 16-17 to 18-19 that Gallagher was 5th in 5 on 5 goals scored right and that was with Danault as his center imagine what he can do with Suzuki or KK as his center. There are not many players who can have that kind of production at his cap hit. Yes he is 28 which again is another reason not to trade him. It's not like he 35, he still has a minimum of 6-7 good playing years left. Asset management has nothing to do with it. When you have a player with Gallagher's production and leadership skills you don't trade them in their prime.</div></div>
I'm not going to bash Gallagher's skill because I simply can't, but don't try and discredit Danault by saying it's Gallagher who is the reason he is as good as he is. Both players are great in their own ways. I never once said Montreal should 100% do this trade no questions asked. I simply said it should be considered because two first round picks aren't something that gets traded everyday.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Then if he such great value......why is he being virtually given away in a trade.? Can't he be a top 12 player for the Habs?</div></div>
He's being traded for nothing because it's the simple minded thing to do. If we traded him we are clear free to cap issues, but there are more efficient ways of doing it.
He is a top 12 player for the Habs. Like I told another guy in this forum, there's a sheep mentality on this website. Once one trade is posted, it gets posted 1000x a day. Reason why Price gets traded to Colorado in every Price trade or Montreal trading for Alex Chiasson.

You're again speaking from a perspective that Montreal is dumping his cap. We are not dumping his cap. I'd like you to tell me who in FA would be better value than Byron? Look at his stats, his advanced numbers, his leadership, he literally brings everything. You aren't going to find that in free agency.

Two first round picks + for Gallagher? I don't want to trade Gallagher, but you at least have to look at that. He's 28 and realistically we could replace his production if we lost him. I would probably cry, but looking at this from an asset management perspective, I think Montreal has to accept.

We aren't moving him as a cap dump. The only way he gets traded is if a team overpays for him.
