Thread: Dubas gets Reillys compliment
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>The guy will be 23 years old next month, He'd better be close to being NHL ready.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>:laugh :laugh Jeremy Bracco is almost 23 years old, And has yet to sniff the NHL, Too call him a promising prospect is completely laughable. The guy can't even make it on the Leafs roster. So why would Anaheim want him? He's pretty much looking like a career AHLer to me. And once again this really doesn't meet the needs of Anaheim. Gee trade Manson acquire both Ceci and Dermott and Bob Murray does this why again? If i'm Anaheim this doesn't get you Manson let alone Ritchie added to the deal.</div></div>


Bracco can't crack the leafs forwards?? 11 of the 12 starting forwards on detroit couldn't crack the leafs forwards roster. Also, Johnsson is a on the leafs top line right now how does he not help ANA. Anyways if you are going to talk through your a** at least make valid points. Also, Ritchie is a bottom 6 forward and he's worth more the whats i propose? Detroit fans should thank their lucky stars Yzerman is your gm not a person like you or they will never make back to the playoffs.

Thread: Is this reasonable for Dumba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksince71</b></div><div>Dumba’s numbers are down from previous years, so it may be opportune time to make the right offer to the Wild. I like the Leafs offered here. This is a balanced trade. However, a player like Dumba, 7th overall, with enormous upside practically demands a 1st to grab Guerin’s attention.

Minnesota seems to be spinning their wheels, another year looms as the club fails to make the post season. If the Wild are a playoff bubble team, then they will keep Dumba for their push, but if it is clear they are out by the end of February, that deal could happen.

Guerin has been patient, looking at his team weaknesses. I think if he does pull the trigger moving Dumba, it will most likely come in the off season.</div></div>

I agree and add that Dumba's only real solid year was when his contract was comming up and there is the risk he is only motivated when he could make more money.

Thread: Matthews is the problem
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canadian_Rednek</b></div><div>The Toronto Media and Marner's Agent/Dad are the issues, Signing Marner to a deal around his $9M value solves any of the "problems" the leafs have. Marner is at best the 3rd best player -behind Matthew's and Tavares- on the Leafs and at worse the 5th best -depending on how you value Reilly and Nylander.-</div></div>

I would say marner is the 4th best Matthews, Tavares, Reilly, Marner, then Nylander. And the biggest issue is Marner's Dad/agent who think his son is the best winger in the NHL which if they looked at his stats he's maybe 5th. Also Babcock for putting him with Tavares and inflating his stats. If he was with Kadri last season he probably puts up 70 pts and where not in this issue.

Thread: Lets Be Real
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>Yeah but Marner is not a good fit for the Blues as they don't have a JT to line him up with. Also Parayko is St. Louis's best dman under an extremely team friendly deal. Dman especially right shot are the most conveyed commodity around the league statistically. Also the Blues just won the cup so i doubt they would want to break up their core. Yes Berrie is good (offensively) but terrible in his own zone (similar to Gards). You also cant base a players value based on stats alone, as there are alot of things that stats dont tell you (not saying they aren't useful) just dont tell yhe whole story. Always best to use stats and the eye test to see if someone would be a good fit.</div></div>

The fact that no team has obviously even presented an offersheet close to matthews salary or somebody (ie paul marner) would have leaked it makes me think alot of other teams are fearful that marners stats are inflated greatly by being on JT wing. About the trade the leafs may shop around for a solid physical shutdown dman round deadline but i think the plan is to see what they have seeing this team is as good overall if not better than last years.

Thread: What i think the leafs should do if marner signs offersheet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrandonDubinskyGOAT</b></div><div>I have a question, if you can only have one of the following players on your team, who would it be? Marner at 5 years 10.5 million AAV or Nylander at 6 years 7 million AAV?</div></div>

So even though he has been offersheeted supposedly at 10.5 which like i said the can swing you bring up a player who had a bad season cause he held out for 1/2 a season marner is not going to accept 10.5 his daddy has already stated that and from reports was offered roughly that already by the leafs so if your asking would i rather a player who even based off his playoffs and world champs will probably put up 80 pts or a player only after an over inflated contract that obviously never really wanted to play for the leafs then i'd take nylander and 2 quality top 6 forwards for the 10.5 marner thinks is not enough money.

Thread: Screw it lets get marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chris1022</b></div><div>My point is that Lou wouldn’t have offered Panarin 12.5 if he didn’t think he could sign BARZAL</div></div>

And how many GM's bank on every other player signing at market value and get screwed. It happened to EDM when they did it to Penner, it happened to PHI when they sheeted Weber, it even happened to TOR even though Matthews is around market value based off pts/game. Lou offered Panarin that salary cause he was a UFA and wouldn't cost him picks and seeing he was a UFA would have no impact to Barzal. Marners contract would even if he puts up 80 pts his salary demand will be round 10.5 based off marner offer. If Lou does this he is banking of Dubas matching the offersheet and messing up the leafs. No team truly thinks Marner is worth 12.5 and is only doing it so the leafs need to dump core players at a discount.
