Thread: How to Timo Your Dragon
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChadLucifer</b></div><div>Leafs overrating Topi. Guy’s a 5/6 d man I’m sorry. Undersized puck moving fins don’t exactly move the needle. Maybe he becomes a 4 in the right system but in reality he’s just another clone of Sandin/Lil. The only way San Jose makes a deal is if Knies and a 1st are on the table. Everyone knows that</div></div>

He's just a clone of two defenders that are currently both 23-or-under playing 20+ mins per night on a top-4 team in the LEAGUE. The guy's 20 years old, to call him a 5-6 isn't offensive, it's just wrong lol

Here's the list of IIHF Best Defenseman of the WJ of the past 15years:

David Jiricek
Kasper Puutio
Topi Niemela
Rasmus Sandin (worth a 1st rounder if not more)
Alexander Romanov (just traded for a 13th OA pick)
Rasmus Dahlin (went 1st OA)
Thomas Chabot
Zach Werenski
Vladislav Gavrikov
Rasmus Ristolainen
Jacob Trouba
Brandon Gormley
Ryan Ellis
Alex Pietrangelo
Erik Karlsson
Drew Doughty

So, on the low-end, he's a Gormley, which stinks. That being said, history would point to him bottoming-out as a 3-5. You can be wrong, but don't be silly.

Thread: Making a Run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-I'd think the Islanders would ask for more for Mayfield, especially if you're kicking the pick back a year. It's close, but needs a little more.

-I would think the Sharks hold out for more. If you believe that the Devils are dangling Alex Holtz as the centerpiece of a deal, I think this would easily get beat - Robertson is a big question mark at this point, and while Niemela is a solid prospect, I just don't think he's quite at Holtz's level.</div></div>

Probably add a 4th in 2025 and that would get it done, you'd have to think, right?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AStovetop</b></div><div>Not crazy about trading for Robertson until we see how he is post-injury, but if this is the best offer on the table I think the Sharks would take it.</div></div>

Expensive trade, but the Leafs would probably feel comfortable with this.

Thread: Miller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>QualityTrades1</b></div><div>Obviously I want to yell at you for putting Miller in 3C but you told me I can't so I won't.

I like the trade. Top prospect, 1st round pick (though I believe it should be unprotected but whatever), another quality prospect and a couple position / cap exchanges.

My only concern is Sandin signing for only 1.25M. Don't you think it would have already been a done-deal if he was willing to sign for that much?

Either way the Leafs are fine since you can slot Muzzin on the left with Schenn on the right and sign / bring up a depth guy.

quick side note:
Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Miller - Tavares - Nylander
Engvall - Kampf - Jarnkrok
Robertson - Gaudette - Aube-Kubel

Right?</div></div>

I think Sandin's biggest issue is diminished role - bringing in Schenn and sending out Holl largely doesn't change much of that, other than Schenn makes half what Holl makes.

Sandin wants regular 3rd pairing with sniffs of second pairing. As currently constructed, he has Giordano, Muzzin and Rielly ahead of him on the left and Brodie, Holl, Liljegren on the right. Moving out Holl bumps him up one spot and keeping Schenn as your #7 is functional.

I think this is a Miller trade that gets done, but man is it ever expensive.
