Thread: possible deadline aquisitions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JOHNNI36OY</b></div><div>fair point LOL and yea given the opportunity he can do a lot for you guys and flourish, he's young and has a lot to learn still but playing with vets like Burns or Karlsson would make him even better faster</div></div>

that and our coach is a known defensive wiz and has worked miracles making Burns look decent defensively and helped guys like Ferraro Knyzhov and Middleton come from
out of nowhere and succeed. hell evwn guys like Meloche and Megna guys i would think are at best 8/9 on the depth chart of any team have been putting up 18-20 min games and looked like they belonged. i feel
like a year or two with Bob and Dermont will look like a steal similar to Barabanov was for us last year.

Thread: Kraken baby
The chance of Yzerman bringing Mrazek back slim to none. It's just not a move he makes, if he drafted that player then maybe because he has don't that. Now Ned has gone through a rough patch but you can't blame him alone the whole team has been bad over that same stretch. Before this bad stretch Detroit was 22- 21- 6 and during they are 2- 8- 1 that doesn't include last nights shoutout. In the post game interviews after the Arizona game Larkin was asked what went wrong tonight and he replied with "EVERYTHING!" Even with the bad stretch Ned's numbers are still significantly better than Mrazek's and when consider Mrazek had a very good team in front of him and Ned had a rebuilding team in front of him. There is no way you can say Ned hasn't been any better than Mrazek. With a bunch of UFAs with better numbers than Mrazek including Pickard, so there is no reason for Detroit to do this. If you want Pickard I think a 6th rd pick might do it.

That being said I do like the Mando and Gogru avatar.

Thread: a swap between rivals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>Oh sorry, Anderson now has one more point than engvall, for 5x the cost. While being much worse defensively and not able to play C</div></div>

You don't quite understand hockey do you? Lol. Usually when you say "outscore" you're referring to goals, no points. Also Anderson has played on a much worse team and also has fewer games. He also (until recently) hasn't had much pp time. He will never be a pp guy. Either way you're comparing a 4th liner to a guy who can score more and in the right situation can move up and down your lineup. I personally wouldn't trade for Anderson unless you get the habs to retain but either way your comment makes no sense. And cap aside Anderson would probably be awesome on a team like the leafs. Wouldnt be surprised if he had new personal best in goals (27 was his best)

Thread: Rielly OUT Tatar and picks IN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>Bro Semyonov and Kivihalme aren't prospects. They're both 26, that's not a developing prospect, that's a a grown man with like a decade of Pro hockey experience. They are what they are.

Kivihalme probably isn't even an injury call up. He can provide value on an AHL team, but you probably aren't comfortable with him even in your press box.

Semyonov might be an NHL player, but again he's not more than a depth guy. The whole reason he was signed in the first place was on the hope that maybe play on the 4th line and add value on the PK.

I don't know what it is with Leaf fans, but they get these KHL FA types every year, and every year the fan base on here falls into two categories; its either "this UFA who picked TOR is gonna be totally valuable trade chip immediately" or its "this KHLer with no high end skillset of any kind is gonna be the difference maker. It's the same thing every year, whether it's Mikko "PP Savior" Lehtonen, Alex "Tavares' Winger Barabanov or Igor "top 4 RD" Ozhiganov.

Also as a final point, if your big argument for their value "they're waiver exempt" then you know they aren't worth a pick in the top 3 rounds. Nobody is trading a 3rd for guys because "you won't lose them when they clearly don't make the team".</div></div>

You think you need to be 20 to still develop your game? And because they're waiver exepmt means they're aren't good? That a stupid statement. No one is saying semyonov is a difference maker. I heard that about lethonen and it was dumb. Barabanov is good just didn't for well for the leafs and didn't really have a role/line/spot for him . He's been doing just fine everywhere else
