Thread: Easy Does it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jasalex</b></div><div>Why would Tampa trade a top four 23 year old RHD that plays a physical game for a prospect? I have read several articles and there is a question if Tim will be more than a third pairing?</div></div>

Did Tampa not make a similar trade when they got rid of drouin? They are in cap trouble so it would make sense for them to trade away guys who they can't sign for guys who are almost NHL ready and are still on their ELC's. You would think that's common sense is it not?

And for the return, that's purely your opinion. Clearly this tread has mixed emotions on which team wins the trade. GM's value players differently from eachother. You can't take away the fact that this trade is something that suits both teams more than anything

Thread: Thought LA fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>The Kap trade is going to be one where everyone sees it as really a big win. What the 15th could be is likely better than anything here. Kempe is super good but the rest I can't see being worth what we can get at 15. Not to knock these players but Lapierre could he there and I really think he could he super good. Or Schneider who looks very intriguing and TO has been really good at development. So if I am moving that, it better be a major upgrade. That in no way means a player like Kap will get a return like that again this year. I bet teams really start getting tight. It's gotta be mutually Beneficial</div></div>

Honestly, drafting a d man sounds like a good idea in theory, I'm a fan of Schneider, but if they plan on draft g a player, I'd be going for a winger.. were needing to contend now and a dman is gonna take a lot longer to make an impact in our lineup, a winger won't. I still think they're 98% gonna trade the pick. We needa win now

Thread: Stronger Team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Terry_AkiSauce</b></div><div>Trading Liljegren and not getting a RD back, Anaheim and Toronto reject the trade, and thats a lot to give up in the LA trade for a middle six winger and a dman that's played 1 season</div></div>

Well technically I brought in Manson.. you gotta look at it as a off-season as a whole. I see kapanen and kempe as similar value. Kapanen might have more skill offensively but kempe is versatile and plays a better defensive game. I also like the physical factor he would bring to the game over kapanen. Why not the Anaheim trade? Anaheim is a rebuilding team who's trying to get younger.. willy will bring them 3 extra years of good hockey. Rakell and Manson aren't going to do anything for the ducks in the next 2 years. They'll bring something to the leafs because they're trying to win now
