Thread: Cmon do something
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>I think its because 2 other teams (and now 3 if you count TOR) has decided timmins just doesn;t play defense. He was acquired for less than a 2nd, didn;t dress at all in the playoffs, so just dont think hes worth a 2nd.

Its not timmins thats the "trigger", its the constant leaf posts having a roster clear out of marginal value commodities for actual value.

I dont think timmins has good value, but some. I dont think Abrueze has good value, but some. I don;t think Samsonov's rights have muych value, but some (especially if the leafs cant dump or buy out Murray, because everyone knows they cant re-sign Samsonov), Ovichnikov since he didnt like NA and went back to Russia has really no value,

but some Leaf posters put some of these guys in QUANTITY in almost every ACGM, like they're just having a clean out. And in every trade they acquire the more valuable piece because they are offering that quantity.

(And then go out of their weay to sign/re-signa bunch of marginal players that will never make an NHL impact: Hollowell, Zohorna, etc...I mean why? Theyre not prospects anymore and chances are they'll never even get a callup, since you signed a dozen better options)</div></div>

It’s really not this serious my brother

Thread: New look
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Right now, only Quinton Byfield counts against the Kings' main roster cap total, so this trade would add $10 million in cap to a team that has no cap space after finishing out the roster now (i.e., BEFORE any Marner trade). As a result, any Marner trade is mathematically impossible, never mind any considerations of whether Los Angeles would be willing to trade three core members of its future for two years of Marner or that this kind of exchange constitutes a reversal of the philosophies on which the teams have been built.

It always amuses me that having conducted this experiment since 2016 and seen the unequivocal results, Toronto fans now want to exchange a big-ticket star on an expiring contract for three or four future stars with an equivalent aggregate cap hit (which this numerically foolish trade doesn't even accomplish) and expect the other team to accept the transfer of future to now. Do you really think that Los Angeles would be interested in a trade which leaves the Kings nothing in two seasons, just when Byfield, Vilardi and Clarke are maturing into high-quality players?!?!?</div></div>

They’re good, but Marner is a star. The guys in return aren’t, and likely won’t be on his level. You’re right about the cap considerations though. Leafs would have to take on Doughty or Danault or something.
