Thread: Canes-Leafs Blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Black61</b></div><div>Why are the habs retaining only to get a worse asset back</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>forget the canes trade for a second, why on earth would the leafs downgrade so hard on defense like that? Savard couldnt carry mccabe's jock</div></div>

It's difficult to respond to both of these comments with one sentence lol but I will try

McCabe has been bad this year (REAL BAD, Savard could do plenty more than hold his jock), but he's shown pretty well in previous seasons, is 3+ years younger than Savard, and on a relatively cheap contract for next year, where he could play meaningful minutes and be traded at the deadline. I didn't realize Savard was signed for next year so the trade needs something else (probably a 2nd or 3rd+4th) for that additional retention.

Thread: Leafs - Canes - Flyers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DealFinder67</b></div><div>Really?? I’m a Leafs fan and I think the Flyers would laugh at this and both retained. Lol

I’m sure Carolina doesn’t give 2 too D away without in on return. Plus, why would they want Samsonov? They are already stuck with Anderson playing half seasons.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DealFinder67</b></div><div>Woll has been great but he is still young. Be nice to have a veteran leadership you can rely on for a couple seasons and he is only offering a couple 1sts, lifetime AHLers and Lily(meh)</div></div>

Ya I said I think Flyers fans would want more. Probably have to upgrade a pick from Leafs, remove a pick from PHI, and swap two of Robertson/Minten/Cowan for Abru/Hirv combo. That said, Hart is an RFA who they might not want to pay, and Kone only have 1 year to UFA so maybe it doesn't take that much if they're committing to a rebuild.

Thread: Canes-Leafs Blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Svech isn’t getting moved. Period. And it’s quite delusional to think that Nylander pulls that much. Of course Svech isn’t playing up to expectations right now, I mean, he just came back from a major injury. And frankly, with that in mind, he is still putting up a respectable amount of points given the circumstances, and that’s without mentioning that the majority of the team isn’t playing up to expectations.</div></div>

Am I overvaluing Nylander a bit? Sure, but based on their stats he's worth about 4.4M more per season than Svech atm, and I'm talking about a very specific set of circumstances that would need to happen for this kind of a trade to go down. Admittedly, it's very unlikely, but I don't think the value is that far off.

Would you prefer Marner?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>Canes likely decline that but I would probably do it, but I hope they just sign nylander and we can be done with all these trades and other teams signing him next year it’s getting sickening and I highly doubt leafs and Canadians complete a trade and I would decline that one too McCabe has another year at 2M when he’s on the 3rd line next year he’ll be even better then this year</div></div>

Ya this is only if it's obvious they can't come to an agreement with Willy in season and decide it's best to move him then.

Canadiens trade was just to show they'd potentially have the flexibility to make a move like that. I think McCabe is pretty valuable to a rebuilding team (he'd play top 4 minutes and get a good return at the deadline, could retain again), but less so to the Leafs (I think Leafs have decent internal/cheaper options for the 3rd pair next year).
