Thread: The Athletics proposed trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>I4evrblue</b></div><div>Over the past 2 seasons Garland has just 4pts more than Kerfoot. Before that yes, he was more productive, but Dubas is on the hot seat, he isn't about to pay for the hope that a guy can reclaim his game from years prior (at least not in this case, where the player would come at a cost of 4M per season for 3 more years).
Kerfoot plays C and plays on the PK as well as the 2nd PP unit. Garland doesn't play the PK and doesn't play the middle.
So Kerfoot is cheaper, more versatile, used in more situations and is a pending UFA
vs
Garland, who is more expensive, less versatile, used in less situations and is overpaid for 3 more years (even with salary retention).
.
It doesn't make sense and this "rumour" is based on nothing more than the fact that Dubas tried to acquire Garland a couple of years ago, but obviously decided against it, combined with the fact that he is now untradable in this salary cap landscape, but they want something to talk about and the Leafs get clicks.</div></div>

I don't understand the Garland fascination with Leaf fans. 🤔

Yes, but it is like water. Use a lot of it, as much as you can, overuse it at times, but run out of it...and you're F^@&amp;ed.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>Zacha is awful defensivly, literally every metric that exists says he is. lots of devils fans i have talked with say he is. every game i have watched (which are many) say he is. the 3 devils fans here and the people they have convinced with zero evidence other than "they watch the games" say he isnt. I think i know what side to believe.
Sandin is 100% a better prospect than foot. And even if Foote was as good a prospect as Sandin, a 1st near the 20s, sandin and a 3C who cant defend to save his life or even hit 40 points does not get you a 30+ goal 1st liner on a good contract</div></div>

You are making that up, because nobody says this, no metrics show this and you clearly haven't watched much of him play.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.
(Also Nylander had 7 goals last year...Zacha had 13....so....how 'bout that?)

is Zacha good defensivly? god no, he's horrific, like terrible awful bad at evens and is decent on the PK</div></div>

Is this just flat out wrong? Yes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>would Foote be the Leafs best prospect? No, depending on how you qualify prospects both Robertson and Sandin are easily better. And simply being "Team A's best prospect" does not denote specific value to a player. they are still worth what they are worth if they are the best or 10th best. Foote doesnt move the needle for Nylander</div></div>

My correction - Foote would be #2 to Robertson, ahead of Sandin and the rest.
