Thread: Heavy Mid Season Retooling
I think your real close on a lot of these but maybe not quite there. Severson one seems close IMO, maybe a second round instead of the third gets it done.
I hate to say it, but i don't think your close with chychrun. Arizona seems to think his name is Aaron Ekblad, and demands your first born, your left nut, a kidney, and probably a bit more. With the division Edmonton is in, you have to think their first round will almost essentially be a second round, which drives down the value of it. Dont get me wrong, i think Chychrun is good, but if Arizona was asking something reasonable he wouldve been moved a long time ago.
You might be able to get Hoffman cheaper too, i thought Montreal was trying to ditch him but i suppose you will have to pay more to have them retain.

Finally, as a leafs fan, please please please do not send Ceci back. we have enough Bottom pair D for our entire division.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>4 games doesn't make me warm and fuzzy.

Campbell was fantastic last year through the first half. Then...... became pedestrian, average.

Now, the Leafs may oy need average goaltending with the team.in front of them, but I am not sold on who is in the crease.</div></div>

Looking into the past though, Campbell was never a starter, where samsonov had some experience in washington, and was a highly touted prospect if i remember correctly (for a goalie).

i would agree with you about goaltending, but to be fair goaltending could be up in the air for almost any team not named Tampa Bay or Dallas. Markstrom hasnt looked like what he was last year, Demko has had a rough start, Fleury has been brutal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Lol, Ritchie is going to be bad again once he comes back to Toronto. While Malgin probably secures himself an NHL job in Arizona.

i think Nick Ritchie was best describe by a Boston fan on Reddit while Ritchie was still in Boston.
"He plays the game like someone trying to egg you on into taking a swing at him. He skates with the urgency of an old lady shopping for canned beats, but with half the speed. His hockey IQ is on par with Brett Favre's. I'm assuming Brett Favre has never played hockey, correct me if I'm wrong. Nick constantly skates around like he's surprised he's at an NHL game and then glides back to the bench (probably from the penalty box for a stick infraction) with the dim look of Lenny from Of Mice and Men. Then he sits there like a melting chocolate Santa, with his hair inexplicably sticking up through the vent in his helmet, waiting to be surprised by his next turn to get onto the ice"
