<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CantStopWontStop</b></div><div>Leafs will be matadors.

Bruins have 3 shots total their last 2 first periods. Haven’t won a clinching game in a hot minute.

The Bruins will be visibly over aggressive to counter those trends, and the leafs will Ole them, converting counter strikes.

It’s never helpful when the thing you’re gonna do feeds directly into your opponents strength.

The game will be over in the first intermission. The rest an awk passing of time, occasional slow pan of the bruins bench makes you question who remains on the squad next season.</div></div>

They choked away the last 2 chances to put the series away, especially considering the crazy disparity in special teams. But game 7s rarely have anything to do with the previous 6 games. It's almost always about mistakes.

All Boston has to do is get 2 sog in the first period and they've already had a better start. All the Leafs have to do is score a PPG in the 1st. All Florida has to do is lick their chops and get Bennett healthy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>There's a widespread belief that the Leafs will look to trade Mitch Marner if they lose in the 1st round again. This would be one of the biggest trades of the cap era, so where do you guys think Marner will wind up?

I think New Jersey makes sense, they have a surplus of very elite defensive prospects that will be enticing to Toronto (Casey 👀), and also some good young players like Mercer. They also have the 10th overall pick which will likely be a defenseman, which is of no use to NJD. Wonder if that is in play.

Nashville also makes sense to me, I could see something revolving around Tomasino + Askarov being a solid base.

Utah could also make a lot of sense, they have so many picks and prospects while also having a desire to compete.

It'll be an interesting offseason</div></div>

Way ahead of you:

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CantStopWontStop</b></div><div>Anybody have a guess on Chychrun’s trade value and next contract?

Revisiting his last trade, he went for a sub 16 draft pick (unknown at time and top 5 protected), a 2nd, and a 2nd 2 years later.

I’m finding him very comparable to Vince Dunn and his 4 year, 7.35AAV, and acquiring him gets you next season at his current aav of 4.6.

I wonder if Ottawa gets back “more” than they paid, primarily because Chychrun played all 82 games this past season, and the acquiring team would be extending at the time of trade. I think they can flip him for more.

I dunno if my blues would be involved but the left side of our d is going to change eventually, one way or the other.</div></div>

Since the cap is going up, he'll want 7M+ for an extension as you said, plus a 10 team no trade that kicked in last summer... he seems like he'll have less value this time.

In the end he's worth whatever a GM is willing to pay in a bidding war.
