Thread: Still Work To Do Part 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Kerfoot might get some value somewhere, but Jarnkrok's extended term is going to drive some teams away - I don't see anyone really jumping at the chance to take his 3x$2.1M off your hands at the deadline. Maybe in the summer.

Arizona would lose this trade, badly. The 1st round has a very strong chance of being in the 30-32 range; the other picks aren't really exciting either. Hirvonen is a couple years away from knowing if he's going to be useful; Abruzzese is old enough already that we can tell he probably won't really be, and Robertson is out with his third major injury int he last 3 years. So it's a mixed bag of a package going back.

Crouse just signed a 5x$4.3M extension in Arizona this summer, and has been vocal about actually wanting to be there. What kind of message do you think it sends if you trade a guy like that 3/4 of the way through the first year of his deal? And McBain is someone they just traded a 2nd rounder for last year - I can't imagine they're interested in flipping him back out so soon.</div></div>

All Valid points and make sense totally Jamcrok is horrible deal possibly waivers if needed. I do agree it would take more then my initail players added to ARZ. I am simply after what Leafs need!!!..These 2 would be perfect in my eyes. Also , as I mentioned below trade, it may take more!!...Leafs have another first, knies and other prospects...for sure doable IMO Crousse along with Mcbain both Ontario boys that fit Leafs window for winning. Let's be honest, Arizona don't even own a house to open a window in. A LONG ways away from competing

What you think it would take for Leafs to get these 2?...they are not in the "untouchable" category or that elite that they couldn't be bought for a price!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EvanderKanesLawyer</b></div><div>I've seen different people in different threads mention your names when it comes to Leafs homerism. PW kind of has a point.
The proposed trade is bad, simply put.

If you're valuing Jeannot's goal production (which Rip seems to love bringing up), you've probably already lost any merit in your arguments. Everyone knows his massive shooting% probably wouldn't be matched, however,
a physical middle 6 power forward who is a reliable penalty killer and faces tough matches at 15 minutes TOI, if publicly made available by David Poile, would garner a lot of interest from contending teams looking for that sort of player to fit into a role.

Combine that with being only 25, worth 800k (pretty cost efficient and team controlled) and an expiring RFA. He could probably fetch Nashville a decent package.
Nobody is saying he's worth a 1st and Knies. I don't know why you act like that, but a lot of Jeannot trades proposed here don't benefit Nashville in the slightest.
But Robertson, Steeves, and a 4th that's another year out is a painfully bad take on where his value lies.

I'd love to see Jeannot's performance playing on Toronto's 3rd line, or how he would be a decent playdriver if put in an actually talented top 6.

Both of you are kind of echo-chambered. But it's fine, you get what you get.</div></div>

LOL Don't waste your breath with these 2, it's like speaking to a deaf dog with tourette's!! I've only been on here a few days and pegged the Homers right off the bat! You make very good points!! Jeannot is a BEAST and be exactly what the leafs need. I personally wouldn't let him go for that either and I'm a MASSIVE leaf fan (don't clump me with the homer's eh)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Says the guy who bases his entire world on what internet trolls on capfriendly say. They say the leafs aren't tough enough but Colorado is, despite the two teams being neck and neck in almost every statistical category including hits.

Talking to a wall don't do it justice!! I've been on capfriendly 2 days, you knob!...only here to make my own teams and check it out...NEVER made ONE comment on ANY other thing!!..or payed attention to ANY other team made yet..just got on here you pylon!

YOU went out of YOUR WAY to post like a know it all on my "Team" without knowing SHI*T about me or read anything to be honest....just blah blah blah about Colorado and hits, like some dummy who watched Moneyball too much and repeats the same thing over and over for his own gratification!! Problem is, most numb nuts like you, have nothing but time and waste most of it sitting on their butts online...fun times!!:)

Bases my Entire world?...Dude, you do realize this is for fun and make believe online GM right?...you ARE NOT going to be next GM of Leafs because you post 30 times a damn day!!..holy crap, go outside!! get air, your delusional!! On that note, you are going into the "ignore bin" (thank fook i found it!!..lol) I have a family, a life and responsibilities.

I'm sure you'll keep typing away even after I throw you in the "Ignore Bin" because you HAVE to have the last word, even though ZERO thought put into it...lol...have at it nutjob!! *poof you gone!*

Mr Moneyball!!...lmao..called it, too funny!! Too bad life isn't a movie or online eh!!..Not gonna bring up hits and Colorado off the stats sheet AGAIN for no reason????????

I suggest you attempt not being such an arrogant know it all when you first approach someone. Maybe, just maybe you might find some good attention for yourself and in an actual debate among 2 or more adults. I assume that is why you are here ?..no?..for attention???????.. Posting 30 times a day and reading stats that OTHER people compiled , DOES NOT make you special. In fact all you are doing is EXACTLY what you are complaining about "Listening to others and following" . Keep regurgitating stats like your the only one who has looked at them!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>You haven't proved anything. You just say what other dummies say without looking into anything or having any idea if what you are saying is right. But as usual with most people these days, if enough people yell something enough times, fools will believe it without question. And Colorado does not hit much more than TO. They play the same way, fast and focus on possession. Skill and speed but reality doesn't matter to you, just what other people say on the internet.</div></div>

I make ALL my judgements with my own 2 eyes, by watching the games for over 40 years and listening to far more educated people then yourself about Hockey!..By combining these 2 things, its called an ACTUAL opinion! unlike yourself, talking non sense out your butthole constantly for a bit of attention!!!!..you clearly cant read. (Besides a stats sheet..lol) your responses make NO sense and complete lack of thought or logic! Mckinnon isn't tough, Leafs are built same as Colorado, some of the crap you pull out is just ridiculous!!!!!!!

To KEEP comparing Colorado (Cup champions with a core 5 that is TOUGH and TALENTED on amazing contracts) to the Leafs (Core 5, TALENTED, all on debatable contracts, SOFT and OH!! Choked last how many years in FIRST ROUND OF PLAYOFFS????, just shows your lack of understanding hockey and honestly, your ignorance!...How much easier do you want for a 1st round then Montreal??????...Stop using the West for an excuse, Reality is we need to go through BOSTON AND TAMPA, not the West.

No, I have clearly proven you are a typical delusional Leaf FAN!!!! Forget about Landeskog and Kadri ?..And Mckinnon ?..You never seen him pissed?? A BEAST!!!..FACTS!!!. Do you NOT watch hockey ?????? look at Mckinnon Hilights and tell me that guy wouldn't DESTROY our top 4?? Won.t be hard to find him fighting or simply taking over a game!. You are just plain wrong and a guy who thinks he is smart!!...Not the case sunshine, your analogy and comparison with Colorado is FLAWED in FAR too many ways to try to convey to your little brain! Try reading and comprehending what is being said:) Colorado's Top 4 look out for WHOLE Team and stick up for them!!, Our top 4 HIDE behind others...So a MASSIVE difference!!!!! And that needs to be addressed, very simple actually!!





Move along with your buddy Jared

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>I remember exactly how effective Kadri's physical play helped TO in the playoffs. And MacKinnon isn't a tough player. Explosive and terrific but not physical. Landeskog is but he's also super skilled. The team is not a tough team</div></div>

Mckinnon isn't a tough player??????? Let's put it this way and maybe you understand the TRUE difference. Mackinnon, Kadri or Landeskog (arguably Rantonen as well!!) would beat the FACE OFF our top 4 if they dropped the gloves OR wanted the puck MORE in the corner during a crucial part of the game (example: pick a year we choked and re watch!!)...PURE FACTS!!!.. Colorado's top 4 has a TONNE of jam and our top 4 does not!...I never said Colorado itself was more physical, I said NUMEROUS times that our top 4 is soft!!..For some reason this hurts your feelings and keep trying to compare them to WAY more physical players with a tonne of skill as well. See what's missing????????? Remember this is a CONTACT sport and Playoff hockey is WAY different. Until they take Fighting/hitting out of hockey, (I'll quit watching) then you will ALWAYS need toughness along with skill.

Btw, we have nothing that compares to MAKAR or comes even close. If you believe otherwise, then you are (like many others) over valuing your own players and not seeing them for their TRUE potential! Makar is a MASSIVE reason Colorado was SO good as well...MANY factors, the Leafs don't have!! Comparing the 2 is just non sense.

I don't want to come off as a LEAF Hater, quite the opposite, I'm a MASSIVE fan and LOVE our team!!! But I am also a realist and watching your team get manhandled by guys every year who want it more gets old!!! Reality, you have to go through Tampa AND Boston, adding Toughness IMO is top priority!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Hits per 60, TO and Colorado were something like 25th and 26th in the league last season. Colorado isn't a physical team, they were a skilled team that wrecked you with the man advantage and I'm transition.

This is why you hits guys are so ridiculous, reality doesn't even back you up. Someone said TO isn't tough enough and now you guys ignore everything else. Colorado is built like TO has been like that for a while. The only difference is Colorado has had a way easier road in the playoffs. I would be pretty happy if TO got to play easy teams like basically everyone in the west last year.</div></div>

Landskog, Mckinnon and Kadri are NOT physical?..Do you even watch the games?..or a stats sheet guy im guessing!!!..lol...STILL comparing a Stanley cup champion to a first round choker!!..you are lost beyond belief. LOVE MY LEAFS and even love the top 4, but realize what they actually are and stop pretending they are same as Colorado!!!...If you have been a Leaf fan for years and don't think they need toughness, then you couldn't have played much competatve sports my friend. JAM goes a LONG WAYS!!!...Now our Core 4 MAY have grown up a bit and play like men this year (hopfully) But to think they are something they are NOT, with ZERO evidence, is just silly!!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Colorado last season was as physical as TO was and they won the cup. What everyone "knows" is far from what is reality. Just because a lot of people think something is right doesn't mean it is. All you've done is waste assets for a perceived need they doesn't exist.</div></div>

TOR is as physical as Colorado? Reality? Mckinnon, Landeskog, Kadri, Rantonen are ALL much more physical and more suited for PLAYOFF hockey then our top 4 and PLEASE don't try to compare Reilly to Makar!!! Also, to compare a team that WON the cup to a team that has CHOKED in the first round how many years? Now that is ridiculous!!

All i did in my scenario was "target" certain players I would like on the team and see if it makes sense Money wise! Also, I am a firm believer in surrounding our "top 5" soft players with a tonne of grit!! I intentionally over payed (or close to at least!!) on EVERY trade to make it seem a little more realistic as most on here seem underpay and over value own players!..VERY UNREALISITC!!...So, Clearly the leafs could get these guys cheaper, even better then!!, But the money fits and a WAY better team
