Thread:
Rakell is not the option
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Again, that's an entirely valid point. But I'd like you to re-consider the premise about having to give up additional assets to protect Rakell. Which would you rather have -- Rakell and one of Holl and Dermott (because Seattle can't take them both), or one of Holl and Dermott protected and one exposed? It's not as simple a question as it may seem at first glance; I think it matters only if you believe that there's an appreciable difference between the two defensemen. Note that if you acquire Rakell, you get to protect Kerfoot, too.</div></div>
I’m not a Kerfoot fan, he is miscast on Leafs. At 3.5 mil I expect more for a 3C, he can’t win faceoff’s, limited offence, don’t get me started. Would be delighted if Seattle took him off the books. I don’t want to lose Dermott or Holl. I worry the Leafs will not have the cap space to keep Rielly and believe Dermott and Sandin plus Muzzin can carry the load on LD with Morgan’s departure. Holl has become better than I ever imagined, even after a very poor play in the series against CLB he has improved he’s play considerably. IMO if Dermott is not traded for FWD help this year they will need to spend prospect/pick to have Seattle take Engvall or Kerfoot. If we trade for Rakall, then we are out those prospects/picks and he’s own protection from Seattle. To big a price. I think also the biggest factor that hasn’t been addressed is the two week waiting period for Rakall to quarantine. If the Leafs make a roster move, it’s in division

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Staal is trading for a 3c and would cost much less. Iafallo and Pearson I wouldn't bother with either
Rackell has cracked 30 goals twice and 60 points once. Buchnevich has had a career high 21 and 46 points.
Rackell can also play c.
I wouldn't use significant assets to acquire any of them except maybe rackell</div></div>
That was in 2016 and 2017. Rakall is not the answer. Pearson would cost much less and provide the same if not more offence and than Rakell.

Thread:
Rakell is not the option
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>That's an absolutely valid opinion. The point that I was trying to make is that the objections that he's (1) fallen off from his prior years' production, and (2) Leafs have equivalent talent in the system are spurious arguments, because he's every bit as productive as Hyman, better than everyone else you've got now (why else would you be trading for him?), and cheaper than most top-6 LWs. I've had lots of discussion with highly knowledgeable Toronto adherents LeafsFanForSomeReason and PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood and we agree that (a) there IS an intelligent range for a Rakell acquisition that would be sensible for the Maple Leafs, (b) you'd have a decision to make about Dermott and Holl vis-a-vis the expansion draft, and (c) there are some other entirely reasonable alternatives to Rakell out there. But rejecting a Rakell trade out of hand, or even for the wrong reason, is not a knowledgeable action.</div></div>
Appreciate your points, I’d argue not knowledgeable. My basis for the post wasn’t to start a feud only the cost of Rakall with retention is way too costly. The only way it could possibly work was if the Ducks has a need or want for Kerfoot. The salaries work, money in money out. But to give up the assets to attain Rakall with 50% retention then we’d need to give up another prospect or pick just to keep Seattle from selecting him. This move does not make sense for all those parts. Again, not hating but he’s not the same player he once was. If the Leafs are giving up a ton I hope it’s for a sure thing and not ‘we hope he regains his scoring touch’. That’s it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Which is exactly why they should trade only for an actual pending UFA. Iafallo and Pearson and maybe Palmieri are just that for example, hence I said they're your best bets.
Then they'll pay for only what is left on his contract, not more or less for naught.
Seattle is going to take Kerfoot anyway unless Leafs will acquire another forward with term. Which is not something they should do.</div></div>
Agreed Seattle can take anyone other than the big 4 and the 4 d I listed. They can take Buch if they want. He is the target I’d like over the others you listed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>SEA will just pick him.
Point is that TOR shouldn't acquire a 4 month asset with the cost of a long-term one.
See what happened with EDM and Athanasiou for instance.</div></div>
But who are we protecting?
Matthews Marner Nylander Tavares
Rielly Brodie Muzzin Holl
If the Leafs trade for a player with term they’d lose those prospects/picks plus whatever the cost to protect them from Seattle. No term rental for this year is the only way to go. Yes, in a non expansion year players with term is way better

Perfect, which is what I’m just asking for, the price of Buch and do the Leafs have the pieces the Rangers want. I’m a big fan of his game, would a great add for a playoff run

But isn’t trading for Rakall, Staal, Iafallo, Pearson, the same thing. IMO Buchnevich is better then all of them. The Leafs have a chance to go far this year.

They'd lose him in the ExD.
Go after a rental instead. Imo Pearson or Iafallo are your best bets.</div></div>
Agreed, the rental road is the way to go. Which is why I would target Buch, Pearson, or Iafallo. This started because some people want to sell the farm for Rakall. Personally I’d take Buch over all three

His name is out there in trades, so I guess he is available. With the depth we have behind him IMO they can afford to trade him. He has top 4 potential that will probably never get the chance to prove that here in Toronto
