Thread: Fixing the Right Side of the Defense

Kase for mayfield is really bad. Kase is a star. Mayfield is a young bottom pair D.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>They have plenty of assets now. The Leafs are in a fantastic position! They have Sandin and Liljegren coming up and who knows what happens with other draftees, they have a development system that is only rivaled by Tampa and a scouting department that understands skill is the hardest thing to teach, so you just draft it and develop the rest of the game.

The window is going to be open for a decade.</div></div>
No doubt. But I’d be nice to have a few high end assets that could be used to get a Pesce or something.

Thread: Puck Possession Improved

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>The issue I find with Armchair GM is most people don't know how negotiating works. They just say "I want this, this, and that." Then offer what seems like "fair value" in return. The flaw in that is fair value doesn't make a trade happen. To win in an exchange you have to know what the other negotiating party wants. Flames have made it quite clear that we are only looking for a 2C upgrade or a top 6 RW (or both). Our team has incredibly good depth. Only reason we would move Jankowski/Ryan is if we find a 2C and can move backlund down to 3C</div></div>

Well said. Ya I’d probably move Kappy for jankowski

This is why I’d consider moving one. If the leafs traded Gards last summer and jvr at the deadline before they’d have plenty of assets to continue this window open.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Barrie is going to want close to 8 million, he isn't worth more than 5.5. He's not an elite #1 defenceman, he's an elite puckmover who isn't the best in his own zone. In the cap world we live in, I'll happily watch someone else massively overpay Barrie and watch that team be disappointed. Muzzin on a 2-3 year deal would be fantastic. He's not that fast, but he's so good positionally that he doesn't hurt you. He won't be too slow for a few years yet. He is after all only slightly older than Barrie.</div></div>

Sure if Muzzin extends for 3years at 5 mil sure. Likely gets 7x7. Id rather Barrie at 8. Or neither. And in that case use one of them to trade for a D that’s affordable/mid 20s and cost controlled

I agree. But Muzzin will be too slow in my opinion. He won’t age well. Barrie will at least produce and skate for another 5yrs.

Ya I’m not sure the LWs make sense. Nor do I think Calgary would trade jankowski but I’d move /korskov plus a 2nd/3rd for jankowski

Muzzin has one year left. Lean on Rielly and Barrie. Kulak is a steady cheap mid 20s D. But sure we can keep Muzzin and let him walk. We just have to fill that spot.

Thread: Settled on this as prob the best the Leafs can do this summer

I wonder if the leafs will get a guy like Hamilton. I feel like Kadri would need to be involved. I’d add Johnsson if Necas was in the deal.

Thread: Mix it up

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>Agreed no way they give up on Patrick like that</div></div>

Ya it’s tough to value Patrick. His pedigree and skill level gives him value with high upside. But it not hard to project his more probable upside as a 2C. IMO Kadri is a 2C right now. This trade idea is more about the rumour (weak I’m sure) that Patrick might be available. If philly was looking to win now and they like Kadri over Patrick for the next few years it could make sense with the right peices added. I like Myers but he’s raw still. Lots of upside as well but not the pedigree. Johnsson is a great asset in my mind but I get not wanting to trade a 6’5RHD for a smaller winger. Maybe philly prefers a F with all their D so who knows.

Muzzin gives them a peice for next year while potentially resigning Muzzin. Add a better player then Brown or add a prospect. Or trade a Muzzin for a decent return and use those assets for a RHD.

Ottawa want cap without salary. Marleau saves them 5m real cash. They likely won’t want to spend real money on UFAs. Add in if needed. Just remove Marleau.

What exactly is Pesce?

He’s a solid Top 4 defensive D man. Doesn’t have any offense. Doesn’t lay out guys. Can’t play pp. doesn’t have a big shot. He’s overrated by most people on here’s standard of him imo.
