<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>That's the least of the problems. Minten, Cowan and Kokkenen shouldn't be on the team. Never mind Matt Murray. Kemph isn't on LTIR. A 20 man roster?</div></div>

Minten is an extra to show we can ice more than 20 guys lol. Kokkonen is fine, but it can be anyone around that cap hit. Kampf is on LTIR cuz I didn’t want to make the effort of trading him, I figured that would be obvious, but he’s a goner. Timmins too.

Way too much for Crouse. Robertson alone would have outproduced him this season with next to zero opportunity.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Herb_Brooks</b></div><div>but why do the leafs need to spend a first for a guy to be in their botom 6</div></div>

He can play in the top 6 too. Biggest thing for me is that they are at least 3 lines deep, and bigger and more experienced on the blueline, come playoff time. It costs future assets, but we have a legitimate shot at keeping every single guy we trade for here. Whoever doesn't find a role gets left behind. Right now I'd argue that's Bertuzzi. Cowan, Minten, an possibly Niemela can step in next year and eat up minutes on the bottom lines for cheap. We'd be the deepest I've ever seen the Leafs.

Guys who can win draws and play anywhere in the lineup are worth their weight in gold in the playoffs. One injury can completely ruin a teams run. We can also resign him and transition Tavares to the wing. As for Larsson, he has way more experience and size. Another dman that Keefe can trust to play top minutes. Liljegren has yet to do this and the Leafs are trying to win now.

He's easily worth a 1st at the TDL, far worse players have returned as much. I guess we'll see.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>Minten is untouchable so long as they have 1st to spend and zero chance they spend more then 1 1st this year just ain’t gonna happen and I personally wouldn’t do that Seattle trade seems like an overpayment when the guy isn’t even half retained even if he was half retained I wouldn’t want to send Robertson I’d be fine with sending the 1st though</div></div>

Just my opinion, but I think we should be willing to move either/both if we can get pieces with term on defense/3c. I don't think Minten has top 6 potential in the NHL, and his value could potentially be quite high after this tournament.

Probably takes a better package with that much retention, and definitely a better prospect than McMann, but I love the depth.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>You're missing the entire point -- if Engvall "shows more with a bigger role in Anaheim" then he'll go elsewhere in July. Your blithe assertion that they'll have "a chance to resign Engvall" isn't close to the absolute certainty that Comtois will be playing with the same team in October as he did in May. THAT's why the value of your trade is not just off, it's way off. LOL, indeed.</div></div>

Thread: Leafs TDL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>The reason why I'm acting like Comtois has proven more than Engvall is that his PPG average over 187 games is 0.4, while Engvall's over 218 games is 0.37.

Engvall is a UFA, or hadn't you noticed, or don't you know why that makes him worthless to Anaheim?</div></div>

Hence the trade lol. Basically the same production but their careers are heading in opposite directions. As it stands I really don’t think he should have much value.

Bottom line, Comtois hasn’t had a chance playing on a good team yet and he’s physically assertive and worth a gamble. Perhaps Engvall can show more with a bigger role in Anaheim. They get a pick for their trouble and a chance to resign Engvall.

You can dislike the trade but I don’t think the value is off. It’s not like he’ll return a 2nd or something lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Engvall and the fifth are worthless, and it's worse with the retention.</div></div>

Why are you acting like Comtois has proven more than Engvall? The only reason I’m moving him for Comtois here is because he adds some physicality, and I’m willing to gamble on him finding some semblance of NHL quality offence. The pick is for the retention, which in actuality is barely anything, but clearly Engvall has had the more successful career to date, playing behind better players. If Engvall is worthless then Comtois is probably at risk of not even being qualified.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Is it worth the premium to pay for player who will score maybe 25 points a season more and who is on IR now.</div></div>

Absolutely. Bunting will want around 5m next year and that’s too much for me. The difference between the 2 is Buch is vastly outperforming his contract which would allow us to run 3 deep lines when necessary. Dubas can find more bargain bin types, I’ve never been worried about that.

I think Samsonov signs a QO for next season and then a 2 year bridge deal around 3M after that. I would also like to see Timmins sign a 2-year deal similar to Sandin and Liljegren’s cap hit.

Thread: Bertuzzi

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>100% a good argument. But, if healthy, would be an incredible fit on that line. Suppose it'd depend very much on how he returns from this injury, but I mean we'd only have him for a few months so maybe the injury thing isn't as prominent as if we were taking him on long term?

Definitely a good point and one I'm on the fence with as well.</div></div>

Bertuzzi’s value is near as low as it’s ever been due to injuries and the fact that they are trading him to get SOME value because they know he will walk. I think a 1st and Robertson is too much.
