Thread: Do not rush things
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newballcoach</b></div><div>It does make sense. Real-life NHL deals and trades consistently show that this board is often wrong, sometimes massively wrong, on players values. In general, this board overvalues cap space and young players instead of proven commodities. They also "charge" higher prices for cap flexibility as a result, and make ridiculous trade demands that are never close. It's because we're all fans, not NHL general managers who do this for a living. Of course I could be wrong, I'm willing to admit that. It's hard though when most other people here don't. So to treat your opinion as fact is, well, kind of embarrassing...</div></div>

More BS. I've just as often seen underwhelming deals on here. When I first joined here Leafs fans were trying to trade Nylander for a 3rd! If you admit when you're wrong than admit that you made a silly, self-serving statement that didn't make sense. You implied that you were on the the right side plain and simple. I'm not going to argue semantics with you any longer but you may want to read your last two posts and then look up the word irony.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newballcoach</b></div><div>Can't compare the two contracts since Marleau's was a 35+ with a NMC. Even with a buyout his full freight stayed on the cap. Mrazek has no trade protection and can be bought out reasonably. Do the Leafs want to do that, of course not. But they're not over a barrel or desperate or forced to do anything that they don't want to.

The Leafs can afford a bit of bad cap space. They literally have no bad contracts right now outside of Mrazek, and will need to make a choice. Kyle Dubas has an incredible track record of making deals that help his team long and short term, so I have faith he'll handle the Mrazek situation. And the price will be a lot lower than people on here think because, well, none of us know anything.</div></div>

I disagree that Toronto can afford to have dead cap; they need to sign 4 forwards, 2 defensemen, a starting goalie and a back-up. All with a whopping total of 7.8 million. But that's all beside the point. Just because Toronto <em>could </em>buy him out doesn't lower the price to dump him. And your last sentence doesn't make sense. If none of us know anything then you could just as easily be wrong.
