<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JRoss</b></div><div>My counter had nothing to do with wants or needs. It was a counter proposal with similar players to show you how far off they are.
Muzzin a better player? That’s debatable. Same as Johnsson. Dermott better than Carrick I’ll give you that.</div></div>

it does have 100% to do with wants and needs for the team LOL. You're not taking into consideration what a team wants and needs on their team to warrant a trade being made... think of it this way,

is Pietrangelo a great player? yes.
Is he worth 8M/year? yes.
would the Leafs/Jets/Flames/Knights sign him too a contract for that much? yes.
would the Sharks/Canes/Preds sign him for that much? no, because they already have too much money tied up in their defense and wouldn't be willing to pay a player like him that much money because their WANTS and NEEDS are different than other teams...

Coming back to the point of the deal you said, why in a year where the Leafs are looking to make the playoffs trade off from a point of weakness in their defense for a forward where they're already strong enough as it is... if you made that offer to a team for instance the preds/canes i could see why they would potentially look at doing that because they're sheading cap and trading from a point of strength to fill a hole in their forward group... either of those teams i think would love to have miles wood and the contract that he is on :)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JRoss</b></div><div>It has nothing to do with wants or needs. It had to do with quality. Dermott is NOT a top four D. The proposal I gave you is pretty similar value wise to what you proposed for Severson. Of course the leafs wouldn’t make that trade.</div></div>

it defiantly does have lots to do with wants or needs that's the exact reason why teams make trades lol. It also comes down too where the team is in the standings, the devils aren't going to compete this year so getting younger players/prospects/picks for valuable players on their roster that will be aging out when they're ready to compete is how you rebuild properly.

And that value is nowhere close to the same, Muzzin is a better defensemen and is locked up longer term. Johnsson is a better player than Wood and Dermott is far and above better than carrick

Thread: Leaf ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>etpeck</b></div><div>Yes canes fans say that because they are not going to trade him and make the team worse. Nylander is the one player the leafs can offer that could arguably make the canes better. The loss of pesce would significantly hurt the defensive group so the player coming in would have to strengthen a different area the same amount or more. Anderson does not offset the loss of pesce and Kerfoot just doesn’t fit anywhere on the canes. The canes like the leafs are a win now team so they aren’t going to make trades for futures that make the team worse in the short term</div></div>

The way I see Kerfoot is he's a versatile player who plays the same style of 2 way hockey the Canes love to play. He would fit really well on their left side as a middle six winger, as he's shown he can play in that position for a stretch in Toronto this year playing alongside Tavares. The Canes do get worse on the back end by trading Pesce I do completely agree with that but looking at their defense core especially on the right side at some point they need to give the opportunity for Fleury to step into that top 4 role. The resign TVR and he's your 3rd pair RD and how much worse is that defense really?

From the Anderson standpoint, he is a very superior upgrade on either goaltenders that the canes have and the canes have quite a bit of cap space this year and could sign Anderson to a 3-4 year contract with both of their goalies expiring next offseason.

You are right tho, I didn't fully do Pesce justice in this trade the leafs would have to offer a prospect or better pick than a 6th.

With the Nylander thing, I believe that he has more trade value than Pesce does despite Pesce playing a more coveted position. No matter how much the media talks down on Nylander, he's signed for 4 more years at under 7M and just put up 31 goals 58 points in 61 games. That's way better value than Pesce
