Thread: An idea I had if they want to rebuild

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Kind of absurd.
What are the leafs really giving up here.
OK JT but you are getting back Crosby. That's a win for TOR for at least a couple of years. Probably 3-4.
2 first round picks. Yeah those late picks aren't "the future" or TOR. Lets just stop that nonsense right now. 50/50 chance they even play 300 games.
Then a handful of B prospects. Again. not the "future".
As they giving something up yeah, but it's what they are getting for it.

The real issue with this for me is how does Crosby fit in that locker room? You got a group of young guys who are like we want to take the league over. It's why JT isn't much for leadership there. While they may all say nice things about Thornton I think he knows to stay in his own lane. That is their club, Thornton is riding their backs not the other way around. If there is a voice there that carries weight it's the 3 young guys who are putting the team on their back. Not the aging vet on league minimum salary.

So if what you want is leadership etc.. how does that really help. How does that dynamic work out. If I'm Crosby I'm like why bother. He owns his locker room. It's not a competition. He won't own the TOR locker room. That doesn't seem like the kind of thing a guy wants to walk into until they are ready to not be that guy.</div></div>

Crosby has one less point than Tavares does this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheOtherAuston</b></div><div>Yeah it's not just about Crosby and Tavares. It's about three top prospects and 2 firsts. No thanks</div></div>

and retained salary. The Leafs get older, save no money and gut their prospect pool when they most need cheap tallent only to upgrade a little bit for maybe a year with Crosby over Tavares

Thread: An idea I had if they want to rebuild

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>Not really, none of the prospects in the trade except maybe Robertson are top prospects and the first-round picks are going to be in the 28-31 range so they would be giving up a lot less than it looks.</div></div>

two first round picks, a top prospect in robertson a recent 1st rounder and probably a top prospect in Amirov, and two B level prospects ON TOP of John Tavares is not a good deal for the leafs.
This is the kind of return Crosby would get if the main piece going back was a guy like Kadri.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>Crosby is a huge upgrade over Tavares right now and has playoff experience which John doesn't have.</div></div>

he really isnt. Not enough of an upgrade to get all of that on top of tavares and retain that much for 5 years. Crosby is 3 years older and has a concussion history, this would be terribly stupid for the Leafs to do

unless that's Crosby stepping out of a Delorean fresh from 2007, no thanks from toronto

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TCMonkey</b></div><div>Yet he has more points (and p/gp) than Mikheyev, Vesey, Petan and Engvall. Why is he putting up more points than FOUR of your bottom SIX??
Watson also has 58 hits. That's 21 MORE than Hymen, who leads your team. And 2 more than Mikheyev, Vesey, Petan and Engvall COMBINED.
That's the kind of "useless" that helps get teams to the second round. Been a long time since the Leafs did that...</div></div>

Wow, he has more points than some guys who have played 10 or more less games than him, amazing.
Lol hits. That just means he never has the puck.

Thread: He still needs to go

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jwilliams2k12</b></div><div>Nashville does not. Vesey wont get traded to Nashville. Forsberg and Granlund have more value than just Nylander.</div></div>

not to the leafs, granlund is a UFA and forsberg has one year left after this. the leafs arnt "all in" this year and want to be able to keep their window open. and swapping nylander for forsberg with 15-20 games of granlund doesnt do it.
If they want Forsberg it's to play WITH Nylander, not replace him

Thread: Danault and after injuries

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>clapperzzz11</b></div><div>Considering Pageau was traded for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd last year, I think Danault's worth more than Engvall, Malgin and late 1st.
Maybe 1st and Mikheyev is more interesting than Engvall.
What about
Danault + Mete for Mikheyev, Dermott + 1st.</div></div>

Pageau had 24 goals and 40 points in 60 games and danault is on pace for less points than JG had goals in the same number of games. he isnt fetching a similar return

He would not be a bad option, and would agian add osme grit and toughness, as Lefas do play better when that is in the lineup.</div></div>

i know exactly what he's done.
Jack all. He's awful. he cant score, he cant defend and his "grit and toughness" is utterly useless because he's clowned up and down the ice. No one plays better when he;s on the ice other than the other team because he stinks and is really easy to play against. He is an utter anchor for any line he is on.
