Thread: Friedman said Tkachuk wants out of Calgary
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenXHockey</b></div><div>I would not want Tkachuk in Toronto. His next contract is going to be awful, his attitude is awful. Pass.</div></div>

If Nylander goes the Other way you get two parts of the London Knights line with Marner and Tkachuk? But that doesn't clear 4 mil in Cap meaning Rielly would then need to be traded as well for Picks and Prospects and hope that some LHD comes along at a cheaper deal or we resign Dermott for the Left Side but he gets the 2nd pair with Holl. Either way I kinda would like a **** like him in Toronto. We don't have players that can throw the opponents off their game and tick them off. Tkachuk would be perfect plus his Brother is on Ottawa so the Battle of Ontario becomes hella interesting at that point

Thread: Letter_Kenny suggested Rielly to NYR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>AZ can do better IMO.</div></div>

I'm interested to hear how so? SDA is actually a great talent and the Leafs look like they have great Center talent down the pipeline as of now. Liljgrenn would get the playing time in Arizona definitely because I don't think Hjalmarsson, OEL, and Demers will be on this team next season anyway? The 1st Rounder is something they are looking for especially if that franchise is rebuilding for what seems like the Millionth time in 5 years but they can always flip that 1st and another pick for a 1st rounder this year? Also I don't think alot of people realize that there are going to be alot of Undrafted FA's coming out of the OHL, WHL, QWJHL and other leagues so alongside everyone else the Leafs will restock their prospect pool in that form so again as much as I hate trading away the 1st because it never works out for the Leafs but getting a good top 6 player in Dvorak who has a previous history playing with Marner it could work?

Thread: Why does Luke Fox do this to me
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>A late 2nd, a dman prospect who is not in the top 75 of dman prospects anymore (and after draft probably not in the top 100) and a RHD who is in the right spot right place, but is 28 yrs old with only 2 NHL seasons for a 23 yr old with multiple 60+ pt seasons, signed reasonably and long term?

And all those UFAs take sweetheart deals for TOR?</div></div>

Brandon Saad is signed to a 6×5 which is essentially what we want to sign Hyman to but it probably won't happen but it is most definitely not a sweetheart deal?
Dougie Hamilton in this scenario is signed to a 7×7 that's not a sweetheart deal because that is what he is currently valued?
The Konecny trade was just a bleep because again this is a mock up and This is what I'd hope the Leafs would look like next season. I am aware of the values of the players at hand and I know Konecny is worth alot more

Thread: Why does Luke Fox do this to me
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letter_Kenny</b></div><div>I understand that the Leafs could really use Hamilton's bomb from the point. But at some point the Leafs need to stop star hunting and focus on depth. Look at the Isles. 4 quality lines and 3 D pairs who can come right at you. 2 good goalies. Plus they're even missing their captain and arguably best player.

Dubas is married to his core 4 and that 11 mil Marner contract is a killer. 0 goals in 18 playoff games. Nuff said.</div></div>

Correct but like you said Dubas is married to the Core 4 and will probably end up giving them one last chance and it will fail. Personally I don't mind trading Rielly for what I placed above. I liked Trevor Moore when he was a Leaf and I found he was like another Connor Brown only Smaller. Brandon Lemieux adds a grit game to the bottom 6 and he can always get better with time. I'm personally all for getting David Savard from TB. Great Stay at Home D Man who realistically is in his Prime at 30 and could be alot cheaper than Hamilton and just as effective to the defensive game. Could save the Leafs 2 Mil in the longrun depending if they gave Savard term over Dollar? I like the Idea of Signing Brandon Saad immensely and bring up Sandin, Robertson, and Brooks to fill in some gaps then use the rest of the cap to sign the rest of the depth needed? But like I said I'm not in a great headspace this week so this is helping me a bit

Thread: Hyman becomes the most beloved player in Toronto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letter_Kenny</b></div><div>I can't help you with your Leafs fan inferiority complex. So if Bertuzzi is wanted by other teams then why on earth would Yzerman trade him for a rental player like Rielly? It makes zero sense. The Red Wings don't exist to help out the Leafs.</div></div>

So it's I with the Inferiority complex by suggesting a trade based on information that is present and at everyone's disposal all the while suggesting a trade that could be beneficial to both squads? No an Inferiority complex is me thinking that the Leafs are inadequate so they MUST make these trades to be better but they don't have to because they are a good team but trades like this could make them a GREAT team that's the whole point of speculation and Mock trades?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DeadWingsv2</b></div><div>I'd like to apologize on behalf of Wings fans. I think we're all on edge because of the unreasonable (and abundance) trades from Leafs fans on here lately. You don't seem to be trolling, I think you just don't fully understand our position as a franchise. Detroit isn't in win now mode, which is why it doesn't fit. Value wise, you're not too far off, Detroit just isn't the trade partner.</div></div>

But I'm more surprised that Yzerman isn't thinking ahead at this point when did he fully rebuild Tampa Bay and how long did it take? 2011 to 2013 they spent in Rebuild then made the playoffs in 2014, the Finals in 2015 and have been consistently in playoff contention ever since. This is Detroit's 3rd year away from playoff contention I'm not saying they have to be at Tampa level but they definatly need to start the path now according to the timelines and a Top 4 d man can give them that push
