Thread: Here's how I see the leafs (Please give feedback)
I don't think the Leafs are going to mvoe forward hoping Nylander can hold down the #3C spot, especially at $6.5M. I get the idea is that he and Kadri swap after a season or two, but as an organization I think they're better suited to seeing him on the wing. Otherwise we'd have probably seen more of Nylander at C this season. I think it's safe to think they'll look to find a FA center in July: they can rotate all 4 of Brown, Marner, Nylander, and Kapanen as the season progresses. I'd think it'd incredibly similar to how we've seen the end of this season go; Marner/Nylander/Brown/Kapanen with Kasperi featuring primarily in a PK role.

Dominic Moore is not going to resign in Toronto: Babcock isn't big on him, and no team should feel pressured to keep a +35y/o #4C. I don't think Leivo is a Leaf next season either: he holds more value to other cash-strapped teams than he does to the Leafs imo. If Aaltonen is ready, the spot's probably his. Gauthier works as a spare forward, but I think they'll try and trade him while he still has some hypothetical value left.

That Tanev deal stinks. Zaitsev's game last season stunk, but he got hurt and, well, a lot of the Leaf's defense stunk. I don't think trading him is necessary, and I feel that replacing him with $8M of John Carlson for SEVEN years (you know you gotta resign Matthews AND Marner, right?) is not a safe bet at all. See where he is in a year or two, then make a decision. Rosen is meh, but I'm certain Dubas sees more value on him in the AHL than as a throwaway in a trade.

All of Carrick, Pickard, the 2nd and the 3rd are probably too valuable to the organization right now to consider parting with. Considering the Leafs' absurd shortage of centers, defenders, and prospects in general, I can't see a 2nd or 3rd being moved. Carrick and Pickard, if traded, will be for picks to help keep the cycle of prospects going.

Thread: Hows the value? EDM/MTL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Allow me...

Maybe RNH isn't the point per game center that Edmonton thought they were getting when they drafted him. That's all right. But, if he proved that he can play on McDavid's wing, and that he can also be a serviceable center if needed, then why would they all of the sudden move him for a winger who hasn't proven that he can do either of those things? Also, if you're giving Gally the benefit of the doubt re: Management misusing him, then I think you should look at the other side when it comes to the Nuge being a 150 lb 18 year old being put on the top line and getting banged around for a couple of years instead of letting him grow (2016-2017 was his first full season). The same can be said for most of the other Oilers picks for that matter.</div></div>

Ok but Galchenyuk has proven he can put produce RNH with worst players on his line. And Galchenyuk did the same thing, he played from the time he was 18 till now, actually almost played the same amount of games in his career while being a year younger.

Thread: Hows the value? EDM/MTL
If I’m MTL I’d pass on that trade. I think Nugent Hopkins is over rated. When he centered Hall and Eberle he broke 50 points two seasons in a row but wasn’t good enough for them to win, after that he dwindled. He had less then 40 two years in a row while playing center and only improved this year while playing beside McDavid.

Galchenyuk has fought against management his entire career and been ridiculously misused in Montreal because of his ‘defensive play’ and still puts up over 40 a year.

Honestly the biggest threat when trading with Edmonton is the fact that what RNH does with McDavid he isn’t going to do anywhere else. If you pay a premium o get him (which this definitely is) your not getting a player that can actually handle being a top line center and hasn’t even really proven he be a top 2 center in this league, while Edmonton gets a player they will know can play on their top line and handle those responsibilities because their responsibilities are going to be as big on that team with McDavid and Draistle
