Thread: Blowing it up...again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Architect</b></div><div>If Price doesn't have the support cast, he'll probably welcome a trade to a decent team.

ROR seems like the best p4p C (age, skill, contract/term) available IMO. Even if they do go through a rebuild, they'll need 1 good C. Drouin is a complimentary player to a superstar/elite center, which we don't have.

I'm not sure what youre implying about Byron...Why trade him? Am I expecting too much with a 2nd rnder? Am I not asking enough?

Weber won't get you Nylander. Either way I want Webber around to keep the young kids in line after Pacioretty's gone</div></div>

I think Weber would get Nylander, only thing stopping it is TO cap hell.

I think you could get a second for Byron but he is already good value so what are you hoping to accomplish? Keeping in mind you have 3 2nd already I think.

Thread: weber for nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Now you're just making stuff up to prove a point. Of course we are talking cap hit, not real dollars. Leafs management front loads a lot of contracts so it easier to off load them. That is still a lousy trade for the Leafs. Why don't you try to trade Weber to another team and you would get the same reaction. Nylander stinks for Leafs. Ehlers for Weber won't fly and the list goes on.
And your GAA facts....Leafs are 13th in GAA. Playoff teams that are worse.....Ducks, Wild (are they in) Devils, Washington, Flyers (are they in). Pittsburg. Certainly not one as you suggested.

The biggest question is if Weber is truly such good value for Montreal why are their fans so desperate to trade him (especially to the Leafs)? After this season, Weber has eight full years left on his contract. If Weber and is sooooooo good, the Habs should keep him so they can have his services when they are playoff contenders again. Nylander the second best forward on the Leafs and still on a ELC, what a joke to think the Leafs would trade him for Weber.</div></div>

So I used total GA and you used GA per game but whatever you know they are still bad.

a toss up between the Ducks and Wild, and flyers and islanders...

And really why the trade..., Weber is still good...but the whole NHL knows Montreal needs a #1 centre and to rebuild.
I actually don't think M.B. would ever make this trade but I would. M.B. can't really trade Weber after giving him up for Suban, arguably the best NHL Defensemen in the league. If you want to say Karlsson who is having an off year or Doughty I won't argue.

Thread: weber for nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Leafs have no interest in taking on bad term contracts, and in Carr's and Alzner's case who is he going to beat out on the roster.</div></div>

Carr is a useful body in a long play-off run. He is like the only player on the Habs who is willing to stand in front of the net. Sure he might sit on the bench until someone gets hurt but at 750k he is cheap depth and an RFA (Trade-able asset down the road)

I admit I am not an expert on the leafs but Alzner at 50% at worst is a trade-able asset but he doesn't even need to be part of the deal. Leave him out if you don't want the body.

Weber at 8 million is sure a Questionable contract.
Just looked it up. Weber's actual Salary going forward....this year 12, 6, 6, 6, 6, 3, 1,1,1 ........Sure the cap hit is 7.8 .
So Montreal Takes 50% of Salary so they can take 50% of caphit....6,3,3,3,3,1.5,0.5,0.5,0.5 .....4 million cap hit.
Maybe TO can squeeze Weber contract in without trading away Jake Gardiner....(keeping in mind they trade Leo k at 3million)....my guess is it is not enough salary but i could be wrong.


I do know Toronto is the worst team in goals against that is going to make the Playoffs except Pittsburg and/ or NY Islanders (only one will probably make it).
And top 10 in g.a. read like the real contenders.

Thread: weber for nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wotisthebest</b></div><div>First off you cant retain salary for anything but the entire contract.
Secondly This is very bad for the Leafs... wouldn't do Nylander for Weber 1 for 1 let alone Gardiner for Alzner++ lol...</div></div>

I didn't know about the retain of Salary for whole contract, so 2 million of Weber for the term.

Obviously Gardiner is better then Alzner...it is Gardiner for (Alzner + cap room) or else you can't make the trade. All the other players have NTC and no one is agreeing to move to Montreal! :)

Make it David Schlemlko if you want, but somehow Toronto needs a # 2 or 3 LD to TRY to replace Jake G.

I wouldn't make this trade but I think Babcock might. Obviously Weber's biggest fan, and whether it is Weber or another D you have to ship some soon to be expensive forward talent for D at some point.
