Thread: Realistic Pens Leafs McCann Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MauriceArthur15</b></div><div>I 100% agree with that but I think the reason Hextall was hired was to close out the Crosby-Malkin era and start the new era of Pittsburgh hockey. I think rn futures are important especially for Pittsburgh to start to replenish the pool a little.

Toronto is good in terms of our prospects we drafted well enough the past 3 drafts to not worry about picks, which why Kyle Dubas was trading them like nothing lol.</div></div>

See I agree somewhat. But if u can tank right. No need..lol.

Get 3-4 seasons of top 3-5 picks and you should be right back, with one of the best young systems in the NHL. Just like LA kings did.

No .500 seasons or just missed the play-offs and drafting in that 8-18 range. It’s death. It’s where all the mistakes/bust are made/happen. You do not want to be drafting in the range.

You never know who will fall or who will be available. U have too many options of players to take. You have to reach if u want a player and don’t think he will be there in the 2nd round. U want a top 3-5 pick. Obviously.

If u are rebuilding. Then F-ing Tank. Like really tank.

Trade off all your assets for picks too(not prospects), hire a stop gap coach and just be horrible for the next 3-5 seasons. Get all those early 1st and early 2nd round players. It will be worth it if u do it right.

Thread: So Nolan Patrick doesnt want to come back to Philly huh
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MauriceArthur15</b></div><div>Yea fair but also compared to the NBA or other leagues we hardly hear players formally come out to the public asking for a trade. It's far more rare than in the NHL compared to the other big leagues. Like Jack Eichel hasn't formally came out and request a trade as yet but we all know he wants out.

Again not defending the move just saying my personal observations from watching the NHL for 15+ yrs and reading articles like these for similar amount of time.</div></div>

Fair enough!!

I just see a lot of it on here. Like Tkachuk wants out of Calgary.

Where and when did it ever say that?? It came from an “idea” a Calgary beat-writer had. Saying that Calgary should really think about/consider trading him.

And every teams click bait writers wrote an article, saying their team should go after Tkachuk if he’s available. Referencing that article.

No quotes from the organization or from that player or any player or that players representation. No inside source reference. No reference to an NHL insiders article. Just one writers “idea”. Nothing more.

Thread: A Different Approach
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Kings offer two 2nd rounders for Reily, if that doesn't work they can try and get him next season. A 1st rounder and the main piece in the Toffoli trade for a rental is bad asset management.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MauriceArthur15</b></div><div>That's not Rielly value however. It been said by insiders that his value is a 1st and a prospect. Also the major piece coming back in that trade was the 2nd rounder, which LA used to trade up and select Brock Faber.</div></div>

Rielly to LA starts with Vilardi. Kings can have a year to talk about an extension with him or can sign him as part of the deal. But Toronto needs players to help them win now, not picks or prospects. Specifically they need right handed centre's that have some upside to maybe be a 2C when Tavares moves to the wing or Matthews leaves via free agency. Vilardi fits that. You don't get a top pairing defenceman for cheap. &amp; if you wanna argue that he's "a rental" well a) you have a year to sign him and b) look at the price that Jones is rumoured to be going for. They don't come cheap. Don't low ball teams with "2 2nds" and think that even gets a consideration.

Thread: What a time to Be-Leaf
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MauriceArthur15</b></div><div>If you guys are that bad next that will cost Rob Blake, Luc Robitalle and Todd Mcellan their jobs. The pacific is projected to be the weakest division next year. Like I’ve said multiple times now is the time LA makes a move. Whether is a Rielly or whoever now is the time. You can’t wait 3 years for your rookies to develop when you have Doughty and Kopitar still under their contracts and we don’t know where they would be in 3 years.

You have to be aggressive this offseason all all the pieces are there. Plus the pick is top 10 protected meaning even if y’all by chance missed the playoffs and won the lottery the pick doesn’t belong to Toronto.</div></div>

From the Kings perspective I like the offer. I would do something similar to what we worked out on the Clifford trade. If Rielly doesn’t resign the pick becomes a 2nd rounder.

If I missed the top-10 protection, I apologize for that aspect of my comment.
