Thread: Johnathan Hockey
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>A) that’s not enough for Calgary to move Gaudreau.
B) Columbus doesn’t need a wing. If anything we’d trade for Monahan, but then it would still cost more then we’d want to give for him to be a 2nd line center.</div></div>

1. The 2nd line center will be filled from within. Texier will have his opportunity, and will likely fill that role. Foudy will also have an opportunity but will likely play wing. Also, wennberg had a solid playoffs.

2. The dire need on this team is high end skill. It was the difference in the Tampa series.

3. The trade value for Gaudreau will be directly affected from his sub-par regular season, his lack of playoff success, the upcoming flat cap, and his contract only has 2 years left on it.

4. Marchenko is clearly gaining value. There will be a bidding fest for A player like Anderson between teams such as Toronto, Buffalo, and Calgary.

5. The flames aren’t going to give up Johnny Hockey in exchange for draft picks. They want to shake up their core and bring in new faces.

Thread: Fixing the stupid leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>No one is going to trade for Marner because no one can afford the cap hit. That’s the same spot Columbus is in, but if you really think Toronto is going to sell Marner without a top 4 RHD coming back you’re crazy, and honestly a Marner for Jones trade is fair, value wise.... Columbus just can’t afford Marners cap hit admins we’d really like to to move Jones.

Also stop swearing it makes you look like all you want to do is fight.</div></div>

Okay. You initiated the toxicity by telling me to stop submitting trades. I’m here to discuss hockey. I agree with most of your points, but I don’t believe Marner for Jones is fair at all. Jones contract is great, marner is overpaid. Value-wise, we must also look at the contracts, not just the player performance (subjective value).
