Thread: Can rob blake
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Robertson was on pace for 20 goals over full season, while only playing 11min and without any PP. He’s a cost controlled (RFA), so he’s a valuable asset - any team would take that production rate.
Tavares just put up 29 goals / 65 points and despite your criticism- he tilted the ice in Leafs favour big time. Still a very effective player that any team would take. Is he worth his cap hit? No - but neither is Doughty; he is nowhere near an $11M dman and he has three years left.
I’ll take Tavares at 1x$11M over Doughty at 3x$11M every day and twice on Sunday.</div></div>

You won’t find a bigger Robertson fan than myself, he played well for portions of the season, then it got stale, he’d be scratched, come back into the lineup and start the cycle over again. He can score goals no doubt, can he be good enough on the other side of the puck to warrant more playing time? We shall see

And agree that neither doughty or Tavares are not worth 11 million, that’s why the return in this trade isn’t worth what an 11 million dollar player would get. And for that exact reason of Doughty costing 11 million is why I say Leafs decline

Honestly it sounds like we agree here but you just didn’t understand my original reasonings lol

Thread: Marner Ideas
Wouldn't want Gibson he's overpaid and overrated.

If you take the picks out of the Arizona trade they might consider it.

Calgary likely declines. Asking for Andersson is one thing, but as soon as you ask them to throw in Coleman I think they are out.

Don't want anything to do with Jones.

Fiala has a NMC and without a Marner extension I don't think LA would make that trade.

Cowan is not a prospect the Leafs are going to give up. He was the OHL MVP this year. The kid is gonna be good. I would like to stay away from Spurgeon at his age and with his injury issues regardless. Rossi would be a good add but Minnesota needs a Centre so I think the opt to keep him. IDK what Gustavsson is lol.

I think a Marner for Saros trade would be 1 for 1.

The Islanders one is interesting for sure. The Leafs wouldn't have to worry about a goalie for 8 years. Sorokin just signed an extension though and that may cause a rift between players and management.

I do think there is potentially for a Leaf-Blues trade, but I think it is more likely that the Blues offer Buchnevich before Kyrou.

Pietrangelo wont waive his NMC.

Thread: Chychrun to Toronto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StutzlesNumber1Fan</b></div><div>All very fair man. This trade is just bad for Toronto, not enough value for a dude of Marners caliber. Sens management need to change the opinion of players with making good moves, good culture, and winning mentality before dudes will be interested in coming here. Andlauer seems like he wants to win and doesn’t care about spending so hopefully the Melnyk reputation of the team gets fixed.</div></div>

Melynk and his staff certainly did spend....at least in the cap sense for the past number of years. That's one of the problems the Sens have, they are near the cap and not a playoff team.
The hasten the process of trading for DeBrincat and Chychrun costs the Sens good picks. Then the forfeiting of the first rounder doesn't help either.
Not long ago, you could have argued the Sens, Habs, Sabres and Wings were right in contention to be true contenders in the Atlantic for second half this decade. Now the Sens seemed to appear to be # 4 in that seeding, and still have to pass some of the current top four in the Atlantic.
