Thread: What now D core is weak
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Nylander is going nowhere.</div></div>

Where and how are you getting a couple ofRD's to make the Leafs a REAL Cup contender. Something has to go. Who, if not the grossly overpaid soft Nylander? Kadri, the only grit at center? Brown, more grit gone? Z, your only RD, other than the ancient pylon Hainsey? You can't spend that much on forwards and not pay the price on the backend. Pitt did but they had the best center of this generation and a hall of famer as the 2nd line center. In all due respect, Taveras and Matthews are not Crosby and Malkin. Morgan is not as good as Letang at his healthiest. Boston, Washington, St.L even TB would push the Leafs around like they have in the playoffs. Trade the dangler, get at least one quality RD and get tougher.

Thread: CapOlier Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ABVA</b></div><div>If Bura goes to Edmonton and gets on McDavid's line, I'm thinking he hits 20 maybe even 30 goals. Puljujärvi maybe needs a new start, but do we need a project for Bura?</div></div>

Bura is not a project. He just needs a chance. He lit it up with McDavid in juniors as his LW, he will do the same in the bigs. His problem has been injuries and Troz doesn't play young players. He has been passed by Vrana and sits behind OV and they added Hagelin for D purposes. Never got PP time and most often on 4th line. He just needs minutes and a good center. He has great speed, good hands and has become more responsible. PP is the project. The Oil has fvcked him up and he may never reach his potential. Both need new teams.

Thread: pre-draft prediction
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jspenc40</b></div><div>I think Djoos gets the same deal Bowey got (2x$1mil). And I doubt DSP comes back too. But I think the Caps should be the one getting an extra draft pick in that trade. Bura has actually put up some numbers in his NHL time. Even his "bad" years are still double digit goals and 25 points. Plus, he's got playoff experience and put up points in clutch moments.</div></div>

While I agree with most of what you say. Poolparty is cheaper, bigger, more physical, has a higher upside and more desirable given Bura's 3.2 price tag. Both GM's need to move the players in question for different reasons. As a Cap fan I'd be happy with a straight one for one but I bet the Oilers want more a former top 4 pick.
