Thread: see you next tuesday
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Maj</b></div><div>took me a long time to learn not to fall in love with players because for most of my life in nhl games I would always go for my favs, but after playing a lot of Gm mode and here, it is easy to distance yourself, especially since you have a cap to deal with. So it essentially boils down to quality. So I can distance myself, but I do love some players like Seabrook (just not his contract), Doughty and Keith etc. So, I would try to get them on my team but I know essentially cap talks louder.</div></div>

Same here, I still fall in love with players but I understand it's a business and that players come and go. I root for the logo on the front not the name on the back. I try to be as unbiased as possible and not think/make decisions based on emotion posed to logic, reasoning and understanding.

There are always 1 or 2 dicks who will always whine and cry without giving reasons.... they are just drama queens. Others might not agree with me, but they have given reasons why. So I have no problems with them either.</div></div>

If we could get him without sending AM34, Mitch, Nylander, Rielly, JT, Muzzin or Andersen, I'm all for it! Like I said I would LOVE to see Doughty on the Leafs, I'm just not sure we could make a deal work for both teams unfortunately (ps I clicked on the other person's comment by accident as I thought it was yours at first) but I truly do like the idea! Believe me, I've thought of it myself, but like I said I just can't see a common ground between the two teams. This site is full of them unfortunately, just try not to let them get you down.

Hey, I get going after Doughty but the reason the Leafs won't do this deal is because of Doughty's age, money and term left on his contract, also he plays and has played a very heavy style game (being in the West his whole career). The reason the Kings won't move him is because they would want a return like the one you did but they know they won't get it also he can be a great mentor for the young kids as they come along.

Try trading Ceci to a team like Anaheim as they need RHD whereas NJ already have 4. I don't know if you know this or not but Ceci's only making $700k for the year as the Leafs already paid $3.8 in signing bonuses. Try for a 5th or add a late pick to get a higher one in return.

You really like Whitecloud...eh lol take out Marincin and try adding Timashov instead. Just a thought, but I like where you're going with this:) I also get trying to do something different as the same thing gets to be boring lol.

Thread: Not my usual Forte
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aspina25</b></div><div>Speaking of Fortes in Chicago, remember Matt Forte? What ever happened to that guy?</div></div>

He became a New York Jet and since retired. Does broadcasting back in Chicago now with Lance Briggs and Alex Brown.

As for the trade. Seabrook's value has never been lower than it is right now. I know I'm bias here, but I also look into the details more than most on this site do. Seabrook clearly isn't fast and can't hold his own pairing like he used to be able to do. BUT, he shouldn't be forced with literally (5) 1st timers and the likes of Brandon Davidson/Daniel Manning last year. Seriously, Seabs played ~20% of the season with Keith (and played pretty good), but the other ~80% was with a rotating cast of AHLers or Rookies. He shouldn't have been put in that position and he won't be going forward.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLSage</b></div><div>Totally disagree with your statement as Marner is the best RFA. Find it troubling that you make a statement but then do not provide the name of the best RFA in your humble opinion. Marner is a franchise player as he was in top 11 point producers and lead league in primary points at even strength. Which is more than McDavid. He also did it in 200 less minutes than McDavid. He is generational player and which most fans have not realized yet but they will. Do me a favour and google awards won by Mitch Marner in his last year of junior with the London Knights and then name me a current player in the NHL that won an equal amount of trophies while playing in major junior. Also, ask yourself why Taveres agreed to come to TO if he could play with Marner.</div></div>

No one cares about awards won in juniors. Jesus christ

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLSage</b></div><div>This trade makes absolutely no sense for the Maple Leafs. Why would the Leafs trade Mitch Marner who is a franchise player and possible generational player for 3 questionable players. The Leafs can simply promote players from the Marlies instead of taking these players. Marner is a game changer and has lead the team in points the last 2 years and would have lead the team in his first year if he did not miss some games because of health issues.
The Leafs have been waiting for over 25 years to obtain a unique player like Marner and you want to trade him away for nothing. You are actually starting to remind me of Marc Bergavin, the most incompetent GM in the NHL. In my opinion, Marner will be playing with the Leafs longer than both Matthews and Nylander, so he is not going to be traded. Both Dubbas and Babcock will be run out of Toronto if the Leafs trade Marner.</div></div>

Calm down, Paul. Marner isn't the best RFA (Rantanen is), and he's not a franchise/generational talent. Elite? Yes. But not franchise/generational. Also, are you sure you know who Matt Dumba is? A "questionable player", he is not. He's an elite, young RHD. Not as good/valuable as Marner, but Donato makes up for part of it. Replace Seeler with a couple of picks (2 2nds) and Dubas has something to think about.

At least we've found Paul Marner's CapFriendly account.

I know you love your son and should be proud of him, but he's not a generational player and no one cares about junior awards.

Marner is no where near franchise or generational. He’s not even the best rfa available
