Thread: Montreal With Eichel

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>Montreal shouldn't even think about trading for Eichel. It would be no different than Buffalo with this supporting cast. We're better off waiting and growing our own talent.</div></div>

Montreal has a WAYYYY better supporting cast than Buffalo. It isn't even close. Montreal left dman is still a concern to me though.

Thread: Finding centermen who can cope while playing for Torts

Danault would be a good fit, however I see his contract being somewhere on the lines of 5m x 5 years. Similar to Pageau.

Thread: Leafs Next Year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TGDline</b></div><div>what about Mikheyev is he available to Seattle?

Dermott would be the best choice for Seattle.</div></div>

The seattle expansion draft simulator says that Mikheyev is not available to be taken. But I assume that it could be wrong. If he is available he could be another viable option (maybe engvall also). But I still think Dermott is the one they will take, with Kerfoot being a potential.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanZay</b></div><div>Leafs will protect 4-4-1 so holl will be the 4th defenseman protected</div></div>

What Leafsfanzay said! I would be shocked if the leafs don't do 4-4-1. They would sign hyman after the expansion draft in that case. This would leave Dermott and Kerfoot as the main targets for Vegas. I think Dermott is the likely candidate to be taken, however I can make a case for Kerfoot also. In this AGM I decided to play around with Kerfoot being taken.

Thread: Since Jarmo can apparently do anything

Dubas says "well that is one hell of an offer. I really appreciate your try. But no thanks"

Trading Matthews does not make sense for the Leafs. If Columbus wants a big number one center, they would have much better luck calling Buffalo. Eichel could be had for the right price... I think.

I think they would only trade for a guy like Dunn if they have a deal in place with Seattle to not take him. Which I don't think they do.

I didn't claim that they were the best in the league... I said they were top 5-6. They are amongst the best. Very few rational people would argue against that.

Their stars were super young and they have better complimentary pieces this year. But they still need to go and do it in the playoffs. Which they haven't done in the past.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PreemoForGM</b></div><div>North division, low key TOR was excited to not play BOS, seriously CHI beat EDM in the bubble and their second in the North.

I don't buy that the Canadian division is much worse than others. Winnipeg, Edmonton and Montreal are all good teams. Van and Calgary are okay also. Having Boston and Tampa in their normal division has always been awful. but the Canadian division is just fine in terms of difficulty.

If you don't see that the Leafs are a really good team, you are just blind. There are a lot of other solid teams in the league though. Toronto is still top 5-6.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AZWings</b></div><div>You're $1.3M in the hole cap wise. You're going to have to move a contract off the team to make this work.</div></div>

Cap is fine in this circumstance. They would be sending players to their taxi squad as they have been doing all year when they aren't playing. I think it was Lebrun who said leafs could pull off more cap then this and be fine.

Still proves the point that they are one of the top 5-6 teams in the league. So the 30m from 3 players isn't actually killing them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LorneyHockey</b></div><div>I am just curious why the Leafs would trade for a defenceman that would be their seventh and just take up cap space.</div></div>

Depth. Takes like 10 + dman for a Stanley cup normally. Teams do this type of thing on a regular basis at the TDL. Add a few guys for the long run.

Dubas mentioned this point himself a few days back in an interview.

Thread: Trade Deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DeadWingsv2</b></div><div>Detroit declines.</div></div>

I based the value off the Staal trade. Stall got a 5th and a 3rd with the 50% retention. Figured Glendending wouldn't be as valuable hence the 6th and 4th with the retention. I know you mentioned yesterday that Detroit would want to keep their retains on bigger contracts. But I just don't see many other guys on their team that other teams would want, even with the retain.

They have adjusted that over the past few days with the emergence of Galchenyuk. They said they will still look but it is a lot lower of a priority than it was before.

They may very well get more money! With the flat cap, 3rd liners are feeling the pinch. So we will see! But these are 2 guys I like very much! Coleman and Goodrow that is.
