<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoachCoach</b></div><div>So you just choose to view it from only OTT's side lol thats fine. Division rivalry aside, the conversation doesn't come up.

"Kaspar would make more sense for both Detroit and Ottawa" - Incorrect. Kasper is more important as he is the 1/2 best C prospect the Wings have. Compher and Copp are "plug" or "stopgap" players, and are not meant to be the answer down the middle. They can help transition MK/ND to the center position upon entering the NHL, eventually slotting into winger positions.

Niederbach is a tier below both, and is just as likely to hit as he is to not play a game in the NHL. History would indicate he gets some NHL games in a bottom 6 role.

"Kaspar makes more sense than Mazur for both sides" - Again, incorrect. Wingers are the easier position to find. Centers are far more valuable and both Kasper (8) and Danielson (9) were picked where they were to be a future tandem for Detroit. Not to be sold off "IN DIVISION" for a future position of strength.

Second point, JC only has one year left and will require a raise with term. Detroit would be better served saving that cap and not performing cap gymnastics, while having a solid potential 2/3C core for the next several years.


- Now to your point, no it wouldn't be advantageous to send JC within division I agree.</div></div>

No read what I wrote.... I took Detroit's situation into consideration. As I said.... Detroit if they were going to make a deal for Chychrun? Would prefer the prospect going the other way to be a center. I said this because Larkin, Copp, and Compher all have long-term deals. Plus Danielson, Kaspar, and Reinbach are all center prospects and there won't be room for them all. Mazur who the guy listed as the prospect coming back is a winger. Detroit would probably want to keep the goal scoring winger prospect because Detroit is shallow on winger prospects..... understand?

As for Reinbach? Trust me I've seen him play a decent amount.....Wings fans will love the guy. He's gritty, had a creative bent to his game, and has good speed. I watched him in the playoffs last season, and he was great. He just needs a bit of NA experience. His game is more suited to North America. Like I said this is all a moot point because Ottawa ISN'T going to trade him within the division.

Thread: bye marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tmljk22</b></div><div>Don't see how this makes any sense whatsoever. McCabe is outright a more impactful defensman than Chychrun right now, while Chychrun puts up more points he is far from great on the other side of the puck where McCabe was great all year and was legitimately amazing in their first round series against Boston.

As for the Marner portion of this. Toronto doesn't even think twice about saying no to this deal. Marner despite all of his flaws is still a 90-100 point winger that is a legitimate Selke candidate, he is most definitely worth more than a second pair offensive defenseman that can't seem to stick to an organization.</div></div>

The issue is? They can keep him for one more season and he likely walks at the end of the season. He most certainly won't want to stay after how he is being treated. Marner has a NMC and will not waive it for everyone so the Leafs can get what he's worth. He earned his NMC and because teams know the Leafs will have a limited number of teams to deal with, plus his high cap hit, if the Leafs want to make cap space or add a top 4 defesneman? They have to move from one of their core guys. Don't say Tavares because in order to move Tavares? You'll be adding big sweeteners. His value is nill. I agree that McCabe was one of your better defenseman, but like I said Ottawa holds the cards in a deal like this. You can hold onto Marner and get nothing at the end of next season and roll the dice with virtually your core group in tact for one more season....But if Toronto does that and is out 1st round again? That wuill be Treliving's job right there. So you can bite the bullet, and Chychrun is a better defensive defenseman than he showed this past season. When he first got here? He was great in his own zone. It was DJ Smith who had him playing his off-side and it hurt him. He was much better when he returned to the left side.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoachCoach</b></div><div>Kasper is not being moved for JC. Danielson/Kasper as the future C depth is vastly more important than adding to what could look great in Edvinsson, Wallinder, Walman, Johansson, Buium on the left side.</div></div>

Like I said above, I agree I don't believe Ottawa will be trading Chychrun within the division anyway..... The point of the comment and I didn't make this team FYI.... I'm saying if they did make a trade for Chychrun? Kaspar would make more sense for both Detroit and Ottawa. Ottawa has Greig, Batherson, Joseph, &amp; Tkachuk locked up long-term. They also have Jarventie who is a LW like Mazur. Ottawa does however need a center with Norris and his injury issues. Detroit has Larkin, Copp, and JTC locked up long-term down the middle, with Danielson, Kaspar, and Niederbach as center prospects. Detroit won't have room for them all. I don't believe Chychrun gets moved to a division rival. It was more of a case if they were going t make a deal? Kaspar makes more sense than Mazur for both sides. That's the point, I don't believe Chychrun will be going to Detroit at all.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Bruh, we claimed Lassi once already and we IMMEDIATELY threw him back onto waivers after a preseason game. Why would we pay for him?

Like seriously, go check the highlights of that game, bro was straight up CLUELESS on defense.

Probably the worst draft bust for the Sens in franchise history.</div></div>

I hear ya, his game improved in the AHL. He's still a legit puck-moving defenseman, but agree totally he has work to be done on the defensive side of the puck. Was more a project for Anaheim for a 6th round pick. But I can see your point but he wouldn't be a bad gamble for a 6th round pick.... I mean if I said a 2nd rounder or something? Okay call me nuts I will own that, but I figured a 6th rounder for a team that showed interest in him before. I didn't however, watch the preseason game you were talking about lol

Thread: Leafs Cup 2025
Absolutely none of these trades are anywhere close to planet earth. Ottawa isn't going to provide you with a young 2nd line center, and throw in a #1 defenseman for Mitch Marner. Yes I see Minten and draft picks.... Ottawa isn't planning on making the playoffs in say 3-4 years. Ottawa plans to make the playoffs next season. Ottawa isn't short on offense, where we struggle is on the defensive side. Pinto is one of the better young centers who does actually play a solid 2-way game. Sanderson is Ottawa's best defensive defenseman. On top of all that, you're asking Ottawa to eat money, on an 8-YR deal? Are you out of your mind??? For a #1 defenseman who will be playing for a division rival? The Leafs generously pay some towards Marner's last year of his contract and this is supposed to be a solid trade?

As for the Vegas trade.... Why on earth would Vegas want Tavares? He'd be the 3rd line center there. Not to mention McNabb is a shut-down beast for Vegas. The Leafs aren't going to trade Tavares and get a decent haul of assets. The only way Tavares gets moved, is if Toronto adds some serious sweeteners and eats salary. He's not a guy who is proven in the playoffs, he's slowing down by the game, and Vegas doesn't need to add a guy like Tavares, which is why Toronto isn't moving Nylander for McNabb instead of Tavares in your trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StutzlesNumber1Fan</b></div><div>Montreal 1st this season is included in ANY trade for Brady lol.</div></div>

This is for the 25-26 season.... So this is based on Ottawa ****ting the bed again next season and Brady asking for a trade.... Ottawa if they move Brady, means they are basically doing a 2nd rebuild albeit not a total rebuild. Anderson would be off the table.... Do remember Ottawa isn't going to trade Brady down the road to one of our biggest rivals for what would appear fair trade. Ottawa will want Mtl to overpay if we have to battle Tkachuk 4 times a season and then possibly in the playoff down the road.

It would have to be more along the lines of Guhle, 25 1st, CGY 25 1st, and likely Mesar.... That might get a deal done if Brady asks for a trade. I know it sounds like a lot but Ottawa won't be giving Brady for what fans think is "fair"... Could you imagine the bidding war for the guy? PPG power forward who fights with anyone, always top 5 in hits, and shots... leadership.... Teams would be lining up around the block for him.
