<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JacobSmells</b></div><div>Any reason why? 2nd rounder too much? or does johnsson just not really fit in with them</div></div>

Just think within a lower pick they could do the trade but also with his injuries it wouldn’t work

Guy makes a comment on every signing... half of them don't make sense. As training camp seems like just the right time to sign what appears to be an undrafted tryout

Thread: They have the cap space to do it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JacobSmells</b></div><div>I dont hate it, but very young and inexperienced...can definitely see muzzin re-signing for the right price although i think dubas would prefer to re-sign barrie if possible</div></div>

Muzzin has more experience than Barrie and he's better a defending that Barrie so... and the Leafs won't have a ton of cap space next year so it comes down to this...

Do you prefer Barrie at 7 mil AAV for like 5-6 years or Muzzin at 5,5 mil AAV for like 4-5 years?

I prefer Muzzin

Thread: Prospect Depth

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JacobSmells</b></div><div>id rank bernard-docker and formenton higher than wolanin just based on ceiling, wolanin is already 24 and is already pretty much what he is</div></div>

I honestly debated even having Wolanin on the list. He's arguably not even a prospect anymore. That said I still think he's higher right now because he's already top 4 material. I think JBD should be a better player long term, but Wolanin being so much closer to being an impactful player at the NHL level that I'd put him higher. The same reason I have Hogberg as our top Goalie prospect when Sogaard and Gustavsson have higher ceilings.

Thread: New York Rangers signed Jacob Trouba (7 Years / $8,000,000 AAV)

A top pairing defensemen in his prime should get this 100%. I don't get why people are upset about this contract. The cap has gone up over the years. It's a great deal IMO

Thread: Leafs Lineup

Philly needs Myers more than Kadri. We have Patrick and Frost as future 2/3C. We have very little right handed defensive depth behind Myers. Easy pass. Not a knock on Kadri just doesn’t fit.

Would've liked to get him on longer term, but considering his age this is understandable. He's a future bottom 6 forward so nothing too big here.

Thread: My May 2019 Realistic roster TOR VGK EK65

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>Was literally exactly what I was gonna say. Toronto most likely moves Kadri for defensive help and targets a younger player who's a 4-5 d-man right now with some upside instead. Laughton is more of a 4C and not a huge upgrade over Gauthier there so it doesn't do much for them.

Also don't wanna hear the old line of "Toronto has to clear cap".. Kadri is on one of the best deals in the league. He has the value to bring back a good piece, particularly on defence.</div></div>

Laughton has been a 3rd liner for the past 2 years and is much better offensively than Gauthier.

Thread: Two bad contracts

Difference is Ryan was producing steadily in the NHL while Alzner was in the AHL. Absolutely no way they do that trade. The second and possibly more would have to be paid to OTT. Not only is Ryan better, OTT will have trouble reaching the cap floor next season so theres little incentive to trade their biggest contract.

Top 6 Winger
Top 9 Winger

Connor says its not discipline related and Bolts not commenting. Early this year was a highly regarded prospect. Guess he will be traded soon.

I am giving the OP the benefit of the doubt, and assuming that is what he was trying to do. However, since you can only put in the next 3 yrs of picks, he did it this way.

Thread: A new interesting idea

Because Boston would likely lose a 4th rounder for nothing. Matthews would need to sign offersheet to make it effective.. there is a reason why offersheets dont happen in this league. Also STL wouldnt afford Matthews if this offersheet hunt is succesful and Leafs can afterwards offersheet McAvoy if it happens which Boston has no room for. Idea of offersheets is stupid. Your idea is creative but not realistic at all.

Thread: Team of overrated players

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JacobSmells</b></div><div>Almost all of these players have been getting better each year and most havent even hit their primes yet, calling them overrated is very premature. Sure some people may get carried away with thinking about what they might become once they hit their primes but most of these players havent even hit their ceilings yet in terms of potential so calling them overrated is very premature</div></div>

Well I'm not saying Rantanen can't reach the heights of a top 5 winger in this league, but people on this board have trashed the idea of Kucherov being better than him, which is ridiculous at best. Rantanen is good, but the perception of Rantanen is slightly ahead of where he plays currently, in my opinion obviously. Like it's more so credit to MacKinnon than a knock on Rantanen necessarily.

But I don't think hitting your prime has anything to do with being overrated. Same goes for Ekblad, who could also be a great defenseman, it's just that he's currently a bit overpayed. People have the idea that he should make the team Canada roster over some guys when in reality he hasn't managed to beat out Yandle for the best d-man on his team yet. I'd say this type of overratedness, or overhyping, happens to young players a lot.

Thread: Team of overrated players

I like a few payers but a guy like rantanen has steadily improved and he can play. yes his line is crazy but idk if overated is something id say. no one says hes McDavid or Crosby but he is obviously elite talent. this seems more like a hate list.
