Thread: Follow my logic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeygoalie53</b></div><div>I feel like you've taken bits and pieces of things I've posted on here and made your own post about it... lol. But all kidding aside, this is what my thought process on a Marner OS has been all along. The Isles have the prospect pool to handle giving up 4 1st rounders and they also have enough contracts that are movable that won't hurt the team overall to clear the necessary space to do so. And like you said, the percentage of someone in the lower picks of the first round turning into a Marner is very, very low.

As for the Beauvillier deal, the AAV seems about right, but it'll likely be a 1 or 2 year prove it deal.</div></div>

My man I've been on this train for a while - I've got the links to prove it lol. I only wanted to spell it out in the description. Just two rational minds with an idea that makes sense

Thread: Bear with me
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeygoalie53</b></div><div>Honestly, I don't want to move Mayfield. He's on a cheap contract and made great improvements last year playing second pairing minutes the second half of the season. He was one of our best shot blockers and, based on eye test alone, moved the puck out of the zone pretty well.

I don't know much about Bracco other than I saw he put up 79 points in the AHL last year and is from Long Island. Based off that alone, I'd say Mayfield and a 3rd for Bracco? Or perhaps, Mayfield, Ho-Sang and a 5th?

Gives Toronto a solid 2nd pairing RHD on a cheap contract, something they need with the CAP situation and a mid round pick or a prospect and a late round pick, while the Isles get another prospect to add to the pool.</div></div>

I don’t really doubt that mayfield is a player they would like to keep. When Dobson is ready for 2nd pair mayfield could be moved down and not be a financial burden on third pair.

My other options were demelo, stecher and possibly Myers. Mayfield is always in the top of my list due to that odd contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeygoalie53</b></div><div>We will gladly keep him, problem is we have a younger version of Leddy all ready to go and can use Leddy to get some future pieces and not impact our D. And lets be real, Gallagher is good, but he's not worth 2 of Nick Leddy... come on, that's just ridiculous. Him, Drouin and Tatar all put the similar numbers last year, only difference between the 3 is Gallagher is younger and on a better contract.

And in all honestly, lots of rumors suggest two things... Leddy for Hoffman straight up is something that could happen (Hoffman is a far superior winger than Gallagher) and, if Leddy is made available, there are going to be teams lining up for him, so someone is going to have to give up something really good to get him. Montreal desperately needs a Top LHD, so you pick... the #15 overall or Gallagher.</div></div>

Toews is a legit Top 4, ur I agree Pelech and Hickey are not

Thread: NYI Offseason Moves - My Take
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jangle29</b></div><div>Nobody is going to pay Marner 11.5 mil.
My god has everyone actualay legit lost their minds?
Anything over 10.5 gets you 4 1sts and ZERO GM who wants to continue to be employed would give 4 unprotected 1sts for him while taking up nearly 13% of the cap for a winger who cannot drive a line honestly.</div></div>

He hasn't lost his mind because he's not offer sheeting he's getting his rights and signing him.. Trading expendable assets (the players he threw in) and 1 first and 2 seconds (potentially 2 seconds) is a steal for marner... could you imagine Marner and Barzal? I'm not an Isles fan but that trade is definitely one of the best I've seen for Marner... I agree, no one should OS him for 4 1sts.
