<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Well I would say, MTL does not want to trade Monahan because they want to improve. They want to trade him for futures so they can get better through the draft.

This deal is to mildly help the Leafs improve, but it also does not give the Habs what they would be looking for in a trade, namely futures... regardless of the value which our GMs would need to agree on.</div></div>

Is a second round pick not futures? Is a prospect not futures? Kerfoot has zero value in here I would expect as they would need to move money out. This deal is pretty much all futures for Montreal. Don't understand what you are talking about really. Also I wouldn't say Abruzzese is a great prospect but he's someone to take a chance on.

Thread: Simple Swap
I’m actually pretty shocked about the proliferation of this concept that healthy scratches = player value. It ignores situation completely. Additionally, I wouldn’t expect a 1st for Bear, but in the right situation I see no reason why a projected low 2nd or early 3rd isn’t a return.

I like Engvall TBH - but you trade a controlled asset for a bottom 6 forward who the Canes likely have to put on waivers or healthy scratch too. It’s not good asset management.

Canes have 4-5 forwards playing in Chicago that are waiver exempt they could bring up to play bottom 6 mins if necessary.

It’s just not a good trade situationally.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MSZUDY21</b></div><div>Bear is not playing as the canes have a surplus of defense. They have identical caps hits. Canes are not getting a 1st for a healthy scratch that was a 5th rd pick to begin with. Might as well get a serviceable bottom six forward who can play center, penalty kill and scored 15 goals last year.</div></div>

Thread: two new tenders
Not bad, but I wouldn't sign Fleury at that price. It will probably take at least 3.5 million to sign Husso.
I also think Nicholas Paul at 3.5 is a bit steep. I am sure someone would pay it, but for a guy who is mostly a 3rd liner (albeit it a good one) that's a lot. I have him signed on some of my armchair teams but at 2.5 (and of course people say that's not enough, so really... what do any of us know right?).
I think it takes a bit more to get Garland. But I like the intention. He's certainly an improvement (with term) over Mikheyev/Engvall. I think you would have to add a draft pick to that deal... and I think they want a first, which would kill the deal for me.
I'd be more inclined to keep Muzzin another year as he was quite good in the play-offs and he has intangibles the Leafs can use. He had a rough year, but I am confidant he'll bounce back.
Otherwise the names on your team are good... just keep Muzzin and don't sign Fluery.
