Thread: Value of Evgeny Kuznetsov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarquesMen</b></div><div>As a leafs fan, who would you want for Sam Bennett? Just want an opinion based on value.</div></div>

AS an opinion based on actual hockey value. Alex Kerfoot is a reasonable comparison based on his numbers. I didn't pay a lot of attention to him this year so I can't say for the eye test. He's around a 33 or 34 point scorer which is more than Bennett but doesn't bring the same grit. Judging by his PIMs he doesn't look soft though. Those could just be dumb penalties however. I think that to actually acquire him it would take Hyman straight up. I know he is better but it would take an overpay in a trade to acquire him. I think that if you are going to get Bennett your best bet is as including him as a piece in blockbuster deal. That's the only way I see a reasonable (not overpayment) trade for him getting accepted. I'd prefer to add picks instead of him but I think that if it was a good deal and there was no way out of getting rid of him then it could happen.

I dont mind this. I am nit picking only here on my opinion, but well done.

1. Marner - probably 1Mil too much on a 6 year. If that was an 8 sign me up. But whatever Point and Aho sign for, Mitch should be within 500K less. Not a C and the other 2 are, Up for debate, a bit better.
2. Bracco - no idea if the trade is fair. but i like it. Bracco isnt really NHL ready yet. Still a year or 2 away.
3. Miller - in a bubble i like the trade. but NJ stole PK subban for cap space. Vegas needs cap space so I think the 2nd becomes a 3rd to 5th. Cap space lowers his value a lot.
4. Brown - solid trade
5. I like the ziatsev conditional 2nd. However with myers rumored to get 7x7 i think ziatsev, a lot of dumb GMs might offer a better package than we all think.
6. I dont know if we need a new backup goalie
7. Dermott and Hyman are on IR/LTIR depends on recovery period for the first 1-3months. So we shall see how they fill the gap. If they can get on LTIR for that period, we can save even more cap space and do more moves. If it is just IR, well hello Marlies.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Put yourself in Vancouver's shoes. Why do they do that trade? Making the conference finals is a bit of a crap shoot, so you're asking them to retain for zaitsev and a 4th

Also frankly I'd be hesitant to do it as the Leafs. While i'd be very happy with Tanev replacing Zaitsev at that cost, he has such injury history, that I need to be able to depend on him to be healthy and play because RD depth is so weak in the organization.</div></div>

Vancouver does not seem very smart right now. I agree with all your points. Why would vancouver do it. But why would vancouver, who may not make the playoffs for years give a 1st to TB. Why would they offer 7x7 rumored to Myers who got shelled in his own zone every shift while on WPG 3rd pair. Not a lot of smarts. With luongo retiring, ziatsev may be the consolation prize of not being able to afford Myers.
