Thread: Possible move off top ten pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I'm not sure that the risk that Petersen turns out to be awful is worse than the risk that Muzzin's injury woes recur. Plus, Toronto needs to improve their goaltending and needs to get rid of at least part of Muzzin's burdensome cap hit, whereas Los Angeles has many alternatives to taking on Muzzin's contract, so the incentive is all on one side.</div></div>

The leafs don't have to get rid of muzzin though, he's still an effective top 4 Dman and I personally think his injury problems are overblown by a fair margin, plus the alternative would be a package with Sandin or niemela to acquire a cheaper goalie with less risk. I'm not saying there isn't incentive to this deal but I think it's on both sides LA Is dropping a year off their books right when the cap is supposed to explode

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Quillanrocks</b></div><div>I like a deal that's out of the usual "box" involving Kerfoot or Holl or Mrazek (or all of the above)! Nice! (and thank you!!)

Seattle IS looking for younger players to help fill out its new AHL roster, but with so many options to acquire minor leaguers, I think Francis would counter by declining the 3 players Toronto is offering and dropping the Nashville 2nd Rounder. (I'd use the Carolina / Nashville trade from last years draft as a benchmark, where the Preds moved up to 27 OA by trading 40 and 51) If that didn't cut it, maybe throw in a 4th of 5th Rounder, but not three 2nds. JMO

So . . . .
To TOR: 35, 58 &amp; 117(?) To SEA: 25 OA

Do you think TOR would accept, decline, or make a counter offer?</div></div>

I think the point of the Seattle deal that the OP made was to re acquire the leafs 2023 2nd for the purpose of the offersheet to Oettinger. So it would need to be a counter with that included.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>I just named 4 out of the 6 that's top 6 and better then kerfoot. 3 more years is a joke. They will be competing for one next year and if they don't make it, will the year after. Go check their prospects and whose coming. Better then anyone you will see in blue and white for a long time</div></div>

I literally just said kerfoot would be #6 can you not read?

Not likely with the way the divisions are right now I don't even think they will jump the Bruins next season maybe the season after that. The only way they grab a spot is wild card if the metro doesn't take both spots (which I see as more likely)

Edit: that's what all wings fans said about veleno and zadina and all the others than weren't as good as expected.
