<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joronto</b></div><div>Worth more??? Wow!!! One Tier 2, two Tier 3 Prospects AND a first and a second... It would not surprise me, if this is could end up to be the return for an Eichel Trade. And with all my love to Bertuzzi: he is not THAT good.</div></div>

I'm not sure it's necesserily more value per se. Fewer better assets would be better. The 1st is great, and imo necessary, then I would just want 1 great prospect.
Detroit's need is quality not quantity. If you look at the draft just gone every pick was a wild swing for the fences, we have plenty of bottom/middle 6 forwards, plenty of bottom 4 D, we need either 1 star, or ~2 more VERY good players to form a top line and top pair. 1st + Toronto's best forward prospect would be appropriate.

Thread: After the 2021 Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>You can get more from both those deals.

Carolina needs to trade Foegele (he's asked for a trade) add him instead of the 2nd round pick or keep the pick and throw in Namestnikov instead of Svech.

TB have very little leverage and their 1st round pick is no better than our 2nd. They have prospects at C that we need, go after them instead (Finley, Goncalves, Ryfors).</div></div>

Potentially, but cap dump trades are a race to the bottom to get rid of the contract for the lowest value. While what you're proposing would be nice im not sure if its quite realistic. Both Gardiner and Johnson would be usable players filling areas of need for the team. A pick in the late 20s and 50s is still a good get.

Thread: Leafs Need Two Top Six Wingers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div>Yo Seider53, I've been following your posts on here for some time and wanted to see if you were interested in joining the GM Game here on CapFriendly. It's been around since 2017 and it's basically a multiple, full-year round Arm-Chair GM with other users on this site. You'd be in charge of drafting, trading, free agency, etc. all along with some sophisticated scoring and playoff structure. I'd think you'd be a great addition to the game. If you want to know more or have any questions, just reply to this post and I'll be happy to answer them.</div></div>

Probably a thank you but no thank you.
I'm pretty casual and usually just come and go on a bit of a whim, it's interesting to argue prospects for 20 minutes of a bored evening, but that sounds like it has a much higher commitment threshold, sorry man.

Thread: Leafs Need Two Top Six Wingers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AyyPavy</b></div><div>How is using the 9 game odd. U saying that a prospect doesnt have good value because they are unproven is odd. Guess Every team should turn down a Owen Power trade for a 7th because hes unproven.</div></div>

Commenting on the 9 games shows you are setting a narrative where you are intentionally undervaluing Bertuzzi based on a factor out of his control, that should not have an impact on his play in Toronto.
If you have a look back at OHL top scorers you can see that some prospects can nail it in the O and not make it in the NHL, i.e. their metrics in junior do not guarentee success at a higher level.
Top OHL scorers before Robertson: Justin Brazeau, Dmitri Solokov, Alex DeBrincat, Christian Dvorak, Joseph Blandisi, Dane Fox, Reid Boucher, Tyler Toffolix2, Bryan Cameron, John Tavares, Brett Mclean, John Tavares.

You can see in there that there are some great names, some good names, some players who had some time in the NHL, and some who failed to make an impact.
We won't know which of those Robertson will be until he actually plays, which he has not done. He looks good out there, he looks like he should have a regular NHL shift one day, I couldnt with any confidence say he's going to be more than a middle 6 winger. Is the gap between an established middle 6 winger who can be an excellent complimentary piece on the top line and a potential middle 6 winger who could still just not pan out really only a 2nd?
