Thread: 2020-21 Leave Tavares unprotected
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Price_is_the_goat</b></div><div>in all sanity and soberness, do you actually believe that this will get you forsberg? also i dont think you can leave tavares unprotected. doesnt he have a nmc ntc??</div></div>

Team Explanation
****Looking at that Nashville trade idea posted on MapleLeafHotStove - https://mapleleafshotstove.com/2021/02/21/exploring-the-prospects-of-a-filip-forsberg-trade-to-toronto/

<strong>That assets in the trade can be adjusted. The value isn't the point, the Seattle Ex Draft is the point.</strong>****

Not only is the VALUE not the point but even the player. People in the media are stirring up this possible trade for a Top 6 forward. I am wondering with the Seattle Expansion Draft coming this summer is this really the time to pick up a player that the Leafs couldn't protect if the Top 4 dmen were protected.

As <a href="/users/LeafsFanForSomeReason" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@LeafsFanForSomeReason</a> suggested, Dubas could protect the top 3 dmen and make a deal with Seattle to select Dermott allowing 7 forwards to be protected.

That just adds more cost to picking up a Top 6 forward with retention so I am still not sure if it is worth it.

Thread: nylanders value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_fan13</b></div><div>he’s a 24 year old 1st line player. who’s great in transition. who makes under 7 million. this is the price you pay if you want a 1st liner to play w mcdavid</div></div>

No it’s not. This is the price you pay if you want to pay double for a player. Yams is an excellent young forward who will continue to get better, he may be a point a game player playing with Draisaitl in the future. Broburg has shown excellent progression since the draft and may end up being the #1D man the oilers desperately need. It would be stupid of Edmonton to make the trade even if it were just these two players. They will be much cheaper than Nylander for the next few years, meaning there is more money to spend on goaltending and defence.

I really don’t understand how leafs fans come to the conclusion that their players, and only their players, are the best to ever play the game. Nylander’s not worth near what you say, and if he is, then go use him to win a cup.

Thread: Caufield
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlickWilly</b></div><div>Im not a Habs fan but I go to Wisconsin so i watch most games. Last year I wasn't too sure he would translate well because he didn't really have that good of hands and his speed was a little lacking. But let me tell you, this year hes a whole different player. He's fast, he's got dangles, and his shot is as clean as ever. I still like Debrincat as the overall better player (okay maybe I'm a little biased) but Caufield is definitely going to be a player. Also, I know its easy to compare them, but you dont have to. I think Caufield has a better shot but I think Debrincat has developed his 2 way game pretty nicely, so if Caufield can do that then sky is the limit.</div></div>

How is Holloway looking? We never get to see him at all.
