Thread: Reasonable D help Today and Tomorrow
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>Martinez is clearly better than Ceci, cause, well, basically everyone is. I said Bracco + second intentionally, cause I believe that's probably enough. At some point though teams won't accept more assets, and just want fewer, better ones. Luckily for the Leafs I don't think the Kings are there yet.</div></div>

I hope so! I looked at the advanced stats, and Martinez is above 50% all day, even with slightly more d zone starts than o zone. Tkecanuck says he had watched him lots and says he is good, above average at most things. I'll go with that. Bring him in!
I agree with pleasebanme about Lilly, but this year and next I think veterans can really do something extra for the leafs. If they are good vets on reasonable contracts of course!

Thread: good trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>beanie2911</b></div><div>sorry guys. but its not up for discussion. I dont make the rules.</div></div>

Hahaha! That's right, you tell them guys the rules. You will accept, doesn't matter that it's not good for you!
I like the three targets for TML, if renting is the plan. But is it? I sincerely hope we go after all three, I believe in this team's potential, before losing Barrie and others (hopefully not Muzzin) in the off season.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nikolay_Zherdev</b></div><div>Did u see the fact that ur on this website haha.. that’s not a thing</div></div>

Yeah and the deals are obviously Leafs friendly, not fair as advertised... clearly going to prompt discussion.
What do you guys think of these additions: a 3rd to NYR, Timashov to SJS, and a 5th to NJ?

Thread: Reasonable D help Today and Tomorrow
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Martinez may not be better than Ceci. This seems like a lateral move in a big way</div></div>
Wow I'm surprised to hear you say that. Martinez seems solid from my angle. You aren't a fan? What does he look like in advanced stats I wonder, maybe I'm too high on him.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>I am a Leafs fan, I just understand what Bracco is worth. He's a fine player, great O stats in the minors, has a better shot at being an NHLer than a 4th rnd pick and later, Leafs develope well and teams know that.</div></div>

They sure have developed guys well, every game I see another 7th rounder now in the NHL, undrafted guys filling roles, further ECHL reclamation project getting resigned as a potential contributor going forward, etc.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>Finally a trade where the Bracco + 2nd package could work. You're not a real Leafs fan, are you?</div></div>

I don't get it. This is a 2nd and 3rd. Not nearly the same as just Bracco and a 2nd. Especially since Leafs have traded away their upcoming 1st...
It is just too much this way you know?

Thread: Murphy plus for Johnsson plus
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Typical capfriendly greed, A.Nylander is somehow considered a throw in now when really the poster just wants him to replace Johnsson who he's trading for a retained Murphy, just flat out greed.

And then wants Andersson thrown in too cause ya know just throw in the disgruntled former 1st round pick and I'll send you a bunch of stuff, just more greed.</div></div>

Yeah that's something like what I was thinking, maybe not greed, but irrelevant additions to those trades. The Leafs just don't need Nylander or Andersson to add to their crazy depth, once other guys get healthy. They have both been unfortunate busts so far in their young careers also, not performing close to as well as Engvall this year even. TML has got skilled wingers to spare, doing fine right now with Mikheyev, Johnsson, and Moore all out.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DaBus</b></div><div>Hawks would never do that especially with retained salary. A basis would be Murphy + Nylander for Kapanen, Ceci, 2021 1st. There is a premium on RHD, Murphy is playing well and has a good contract.</div></div>

I would jump on this deal if the Hawks retained the 850, but it seems they are squeezed against the cap with Debrincat getting paid starting next year. How about a 2020 6th and 2021 2nd? That might be fair.

Thread: Murphy plus for Johnsson plus
Real solid trade frameworks here Trickster, well done. Comments have been fun, very Canadian of you to apologize so sincerely when you mixed up the Nylander brothers there!
At the same time, you are undervaluing Murphy and retained salary pretty badly. Remember that he is a top 4 RHD, currently playing more than 21 minutes a night. And for some reason the Hawks are gonna give two NHL players for one in this deal?

Da Bus I would prefer to lose Kapanen instead of Johnsson, and Ceci would need to be dispatched if bringing in Murphy, so your deal seems pretty close. If the Hawks were to retain 850-1M, I'd say the 2021 1st would be

Thread: Maybe do nothing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>By the time TDL roles around how many games will a backup play? If Andersen were to get hurt is there anyone available to replace him?

If there is a decent backup available for cheap and hutch does something to show he can’t handle the job then maybe. Maybe Bracco for an upgrade on Marincin? Who knows. Come playoff time we can always call up Lilly.</div></div>

I agree to some extent, but it really seems the Leafs have a bunch of spare parts, tradeable picks, and prospects that don't fit, it would be great to package a bunch of those if the right deal was available.
Let's say those guys are: Ceci, Timashov, Gauthier, Bracco, Harpur, Schmaltz, maybe others. Not exactly key contributors. Many of them could play right now, in the NHL or in a bigger role, for a rebuilding/less deep team.
I would love to see the Leafs make deals for Georgiev and Sami Vatanen, with some picks included.
Upgrading with those two couldn't hurt?

Thread: FIXING NEXT YEAR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dave_LFFE</b></div><div>Listen guys just working with numbers. Last year the hurricanes took on a player for 1 season with a 6 million dollar contact for a 6th round draft pick.
So i used the same trade keeping in mind this is a younger player. So first off i have to give back your 6th rounder for the cash part off the trade.
Now lets deal with the youth side, So i will trade a 23 year old Kappy, on a 2 year deal for a 26 year old Hamilton on a 1 year deal if you retain 2.5 mil.
Fair is fair!</div></div>

Ummmm, have you seen fair around Dave? I'm not sure you've met him. This trade doesn't work, everyone is trying to tell you that, in nicer language than is probably deserved.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StoneFan</b></div><div>What in God’s earth is this</div></div>

This guy is driven to Jesus for crying out loud! Anyway, also underpaying all the guys you resign will not work, giving the GOAT a raise is crazy, and this Romanov had better be an absolute star.
Do you even know that you put Robertson and Liljegren in that trade there? It's 4 prospects for one?

Thread: Looking at worst contract from each team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Guess Dubas will have to take that as a compliment. He did a great job of clearing out bad contracts.</div></div>

We can only hope that paying elite money for elite players, and filling in the cracks with cheap ones will work as well as it should based on the value added by the elite.

I still can't believe that is Zaitsev's actual contract! Thank goodness Dubas was able to unload it. Ceci is a drag on the roster for this year only, what a deal!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ExpiredmilkYT</b></div><div>That would be the case for UFAs, not really for contracts given to RFAs, also Lindell sucks.</div></div>

Thanks for putting this together Expired Milk, incredible to see the cost and term for Seabrook, Myers, Lindell, Boychuk, Zaitsev, Okposo, Hayes, Lucic, Schneider... sickening, but amazing
