Thread: Marner Kappy and Johnny out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newballcoach</b></div><div>Those trades are rough, not a lot of value for the opposite teams.

I think the Leafs can survive without Marner, although the fanbase seems to either love him or hate him, depending on what some other guy tweets out. I would package 2 or 3 of those first rounders into upgrading my defence and create a more-balanced team, but it would be a big mistake for Toronto to let him go so easily. You won't find a replacement.</div></div>


Yeah, you don't find a replacement for a superstar, but you don't need one if you already have several. Matthews, Tavares, and Nylander are more than enough, rielly with a good top 4 such as the one above would be top 5, and Andersen is a top 10 goalie at worst, I think a comparable for our team going forward would be Pittsburgh, they have a top goalie, dman, then two top centres and then a here-and-there super star in kessel, which is nylander's comparable.

I disagree with you when you say the trades aren't fair, Kapanen and Johnsson are both young top 6 forwards, I feel like the value I added on top of them makes it even, you should also take into account that Manson's value is at a low based on the season he's had, and that Paul Fenton is a complete idiot in minnesota, so even if they were a bit unbalanced i would bet on each team taking them anyway.
