Thread: FLA trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>firezfurx</b></div><div>Yes but they are TM REL advanced stats, and they were good last year as well.</div></div>

The issue with those stats is that they skew when you have a lot of ice time with the same player(s). Im not saying that he is a bad player, far from it. Just if he were to play in Toronto his numbers would most likely regress to what his previous numbers were like and in that case is he really that much better then say Dermott? The better way to go is an impact rental sometime between christmas and the trade deadline. You are much more likely to get retained salary at this time and can go for a much bigger name. For example Petry (not saying thats who we should target just an example) is on the last year of his deal and we could package Johnsson (Whos value hopefully goes back up after a down year) and one of Dermott, Lily, or Sandin plus picks. Montreal would then retain enough so he can fit under the cap. The rental would walk at the end of the season but thats ok because we now have enough money to resign Hyman and Anderson (Or his replacement). If we get a player like Weegar and sign him we just have to move assets again next summer. We need to get a player on retained salary in order to get that impact player for a playoff run and the best way to do that is at the trade deadline. I would much prefer to acquire a player like Honka before the season starts and see if he fits.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NR1203</b></div><div>Weegar is actually a really underrated defensive guy. Adding him to the top-4 with Rielly, Muzzin and Holl would give them 4 solid defencemen, and I know we said that with Barrie but Weegar is what the Leafs actually need. Solid, not much flashiness, has some grit but can still move the puck, and gets the job done.</div></div>

I agree. I would trade him straight up for Johnsson but we need to keep Kerfoot.
Things to know about Weegar:
1. Was a healthy scratch at least 7 times in 2019/20
2. Played over 70% of his shifts this year with Ekblad
3. Played about 50% of his shifts this year with Barkov and Huberdeau
4. Has a concussion history
5. FLA will want more then just Johnsson

Heres a good video:

I think we should stick with what we have and get a rental sometime after christmas. A rental would be a more impactful player for the playoffs.

Thread: Pretty big FLA trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>firezfurx</b></div><div>Do you know what Teammate Relative means? His stats are adjusted based on the % of the time he plays with each of his teammates, and good said teammates are. If he plays with Ekblad 100% his numbers will get shifted down, if he plays with someone equal to him they stay the same, and if he plays with players worse then him they get shifted up. Here's a good database for Teammate relative scores: <a href="https://mapleleafshotstove.com/toronto-maple-leafs-advanced-statistics/#leafsreport" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://mapleleafshotstove.com/toronto-maple-leafs-advanced-statistics/#leafsreport</a></div></div>

These stats compare you vs other teammate stats so if you are playing a lot with the best players your relative stats compared to those that are not will be better. I compared Dermott to Weegar and Dermott scored 87th percentile and Weegar 91st percentile so are they pretty much equal?
