Thread: Larsson strikes again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SirRobo</b></div><div>You want elite skill to run the powerplay? You know.. that powerplay that was 21st in the league?

Seems you're getting your back up. No need. Again, where was this reported, as you said?

Nylander is a good player, no doubt. But is he 10 million worth? Doubtful. Leafs fans obviously don't think so. By looking at your trade package, Toronto would value a solid RD and cap space more than keeping Nylander in the fold, and that's totally understandable . . . What I'm saying is I think Seattle would, also, and would pass on this trade, IMO.

Agreed, PP needs improvement, which is where the reports on their interest in Karlsson are coming from.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SirRobo</b></div><div>You don’t understand LTIR if you think that statement is true. Also Kraken have been reported as interested in Nylander and are very likely to pursue him in free agency if he were to come available. They need a gamebreaker, so I think they’d be happy to have him at 10m in a sign and trade</div></div>

Reported where?

Kraken <em>needing</em> a game breaker might be a bit exaggerated. Like to have one, sure. They had no issues scoring last season, all throughout their lineup, though such results could be difficult repeating so a truly elite add might be welcome depending on acquisition cost and contract.

To that point, I think Francis would be quite unhappy signing a winger for 10 million per season, actually. Especially with the added loss of their top RD with a great contract.

Thread: Read description first please
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Ginger_Leaf</b></div><div>I said he doesn't have to go to seattle, brodie is still worth a lot. maybe not 2 picks but he can definitely get a second out of him.</div></div>

Yes, I read your description about Brodie to any team, but as you made a point of scrolling down and selecting Seattle for the trade, one assumes you thought there might be a fit. I thought I'd make a point of saying there likely isn't.

This league is real opposed to doing anyone any favors, especially Toronto it seems. Knowing how solid a defensive d-man Brodie is, it is obvious Toronto is only trading him out of "cap-desperation." If Brodie fetches a 2nd rounder, good on them, but I feel other cap-clearing moves made by other teams this off-season are the standard.

Blows my mind how Toronto is going to move forward seemingly committed to the same 4-5 guys. This is not a better team and that defense is suspect to say the least.
