Detroit passes on all of these trades. Walman has been great for us and I'm guessing he'll be resigned. The return for Bertuzzi, if he's traded, will likely be futures not established players. And LD is not a position of need for us unless they want to take Chiarot back in the trade, lol. Also, I wouldn't trade Zadina straight up for JP. Let alone adding a very valuable pick. Again we have too many wingers as it is and he just doesn't move the bar at all.

First off how convenient for you that you "don't consider the first season". Second; How surprising you don't consider what GMs think because you know better right? And third and most importantly; if you think Debrusk or Zacha are better than Bertuzzi then you're saying more about your lack of good judgement than you think you are.

I didn't say full seasons. Nice try though. He had 289 points in his first 454 games which comes out to .636 ppg. So yeah they're very similar so far. And also Bertuzzi's actually been compared to Marchand by actual NHL GMs so...

This isn't close to a point per game at all. Just because he plays on DET top line doesn't mean he's a "top line player" around the rest of the NHL. Travis Boyd plays in Arizona's top line. Does that make him a top line player too?</div></div>
This is not a good argument. Bertuzzi is the definition of a late bloomer. Should we judge Marchand by his first 7 seasons?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tonyhzs</b></div><div>The Tatar deal was not as lopsided as it appears. I'm not saying Larkin shouldn't go for more, because this Leafs proposal is pretty terrible, but the Tatar deal is an anomaly and is not really fair to consider. Tatar was a 25 to 30 goal scorer (potential), had a ton of skill, a very good cap hit, and term. If Tatar even remotely lived up to his potential in Vegas, Detroit comes out losers in that trade, as Veleno is a 4th liner. At the time, Tatar had some excellent value. Larkin is surely a better player, and a 1C/2C, but he is a pure rental.
Giroux to Florida is a better comparable, I think.</div></div>
Sorry but the Giroux trade might be a good starting point but it is not a comparable for the simple fact that he's 8 years older than Larkin. I don't think the Tatar trade was lopsided but I also don't think you can judge it by what Wright and Holland (mostly Holland) drafted with those picks. Also that draft has turned out to be slightly horrible overall. I think we were lucky to walk away with Berggren.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>I love these comments:
Tuomisto has a cannon of a point shot, with both accuracy and power. His hands are quite smooth, <em>McKeen's Hockey 2019</em>
When he’s on his game, he makes a good first pass with good accuracy, <em>Hockeyprospect.com 2019</em>
He displays powerful strides and is hard to knock off the puck, <em>Future Considerations 2019</em>
Casey is "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma,"
He started the season great winning over 50% of his FO and scoring 7 pts in his first 9 games.
Since then his FO% has dropped while only getting 6 pts in his next 17 games.
Lately his game has picked up and he has 4 pts in his last 4 games. He is much more involved, fighting for the puck, winning more FO, making better decisions while skating and passing better.
Along with many other Sabres his game tailed off when Krueger was the coach, but picked up when Granato took over.
Tuomisto is still a prospect while Cassey with his ups and downs he is still on pace for 45 pts
Bottom line Tuomisto is just the sort of prospect that the Sabres need, big RHD 35th OA the same year Ryan Johnson was drafted.
While Adams may accept the one for one, Karmanos could negotiate for more.

Isles5513 and RedWing9119 you know you both agree the Wings should add more, does it matter how we come to that conclusion?

Ummm. Isn't that what you're doing? You admit you don't know anything about a prospect except he hasn't played in the NHL yet but you feel confident enough to assert your opinion. Hey guess what; Connor Bedard hasn't played in the NHL yet either so by your logic hes not worth Middlestadt either. Let me clarify that I actually agree that a pick would probably need to be added but definitely not a 2nd but that's because I actually know something about Tuomisto. I just think it's funny that you offered a confident opinion on a player you <em>admittedly</em> don't know anything about. I mean that takes some serious hubris.

First you literally generalized in your comments “ There are many fans on this site who watch other teams because the just love hockey.” ok for you but not me :squinty ?
I have admitted many times full stop that I only watch Leaf games and occasional highlights or playoff games. Don’t have time or inclination to watch non Leaf games 🤷
Here is one example of independent analysis, pretty easy to find. He’s not a top 20 lw; hard to argue he’s better than anyone listed there (except Boldy) but clearly Tkatchuk and Caufield (& Bunting too) are better too so …

Wow you just can't help but prove my original statement right again and again can you? Like I said; arrogant. I didn't look at your stats because whether Bertuzzi is a "top 20 winger" was never the argument but nice try at moving the goal posts. The argument is whether he is worth what the trade implies. And the answer in the opinion <em>of someone who actually watches him</em> is yes. Oh and tangentially the argument was whether Toronto fans consistently offer opinions on players they don't watch; which you have so graciously proven for me. So thanks and have a great day.

I Cant Eat Taco Bell Without Taco Bell Sauce
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kster34</b></div><div>No I don’t think it is arrogant; as I said (and you may be the outlier) I think most of us watch games of the teams we support or highlights or sometimes playoffs (big games). But:
1/ I’ve seen bertuzzi play (probably eight times over past three years vs Leafs)
2/ we have access to stats and advanced metrics
3/ we have analysis from objective hockey experts
I use all of that when assessing players, and my assessment stays the same:
1: bertuzzi is not elite but he is a good top 6 winger
2: On the Leafs imo he’d be 6th best forward offensively and bottom half defensively
3: he wouldn’t play PP1 or PK
4: he’s a rental as I don’t see how we re-sign him next year, not without sacrificing other core pieces which I would not do (& Matthews / Nylander / Sandin /Lilligren all due big raises year after)
For all those reasons I would not conduct the trade as outlined above if you don’t like my opinion, c’est la vie / you’re free to voice yours.
If you have time to watch 200-300 non wings + 82 wings games a year, let me know how I can get that gig 😅</div></div>
Most of who? So now you're speaking for other people on this site? Please. You admit you don't watch other teams. Full stop. Offering an opinion on players you don't watch is arrogant. Full stop. Also, which analytics and which opinions of experts are you referring to with your sad attempts at deflection? Am I supposed to be dumb enough not to realize that you implied something without actaul citing any real examples? As for having time to watch games try liking <em>hockey</em> and not just being an overzealous fan of your team. Oh and it helps if you've already put your kids through college and they're out of the house.
