Thread: Great all around win LN

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brad21</b></div><div>Why would the Leafs need Hertl?</div></div>

More depth scoring, stronger in the faceoffs. And more matchup abilities.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>That's a strong offer - certainly tops any I've suggested from Devils</div></div>

I have to give some credit to an AGM I saw this morning but it was slightly different, I think it's a smart deal for both sides SJ gets a really good center prospect and a potential top line winger and whatever they want to draft.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>Hertl on the third line would be a huge waste of talent.</div></div>

I would disagree but Id be happy with him in the second line I just think he makes a better center than kerfoot and with three lines like this the playing time can be split more while giving the top line a slight break, maybe 21-22 minutes a night instead of 25 a night

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kongol</b></div><div>Do you think a 5-7th draft pick? Or leave it 2 for 1 deal and no picks?</div></div>

I think they have no interest in those players tbh, Florida is a good team this year. If they are looking to do anything it would likely be a top six rental like the leafs so I just don't think they make for a good trade partner this season.

Thread: Cupssss

The preds deal is a bit too much for a year and a half of Forsberg. The Hertl deal could be simplified without Marleau. If I was to make an offer on Hertl it would be hirvonen amirov and the first. We have plenty of center prospects and still pretty few Rd prospects so I wouldn't want to move niemela

Thread: equal dollar value trade who wins

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SadlyAnOilFan</b></div><div>Yeah it does have to be based on stats and fact. So tell me, how is Muzzin better than nurse? How is Holl better than Bear? How is mikheyev even close in value to Puljujarvi? Seems like you are the one making stuff up.

Nurse has been absolutely stellar this season. He’s played tons, put up some key goals, and through all of it been sound defensively. He’s also 6 years younger than Muzzin.

Bear averaged over 21 minutes a night as a rookie on the best regular season Canadian team. Holl was no where near that good last year. And It was just a freak accident that caused Bear to miss time this year, he was on the bench when it happened.

Puljujarvi has been playing really hard defensively responsible hockey, and oh yeah, he has great offensive upside and has started to break out the last while. I think he’s got 6 goals in the last 10 games and it looks like the sky’s the limit on McDavids wing. Really, you’re saying Dubas could call up Holland right now and say: hey want to do Puljujarvi for Mikheyev 1 for 1? That’s just crazy. They’re not even close to being “about equal”</div></div>

You clearly didn't read it. As of right now there equal taking in to account character and all around game, obviously pool party will be far better playing with McDavid but let time determine that and see how good defensively he will be or if it drifts off. As for nurse Muzzin, Muzzin is the much better defensive player yeah nurse has more production but that doesn't constitute a better player. Bear and Holl are both league average defenders I just think holls size and speed put him above bear

Thread: equal dollar value trade who wins

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>Toronto does by a landslide;

McDavid is better than Matthews
Draisaitl is better than Marner
Nugent-Hopkins is better than Nylander
Nurse is better than Muzzin
Bear is better than Holl
Koskinen is better than Campbell
Puljujarvi is better than Mikheyev</div></div>

By that theory Edmonton would have the leafs record and the leafs would have Edmontons record, but they don't. The top two players are obviously McDavid and draisaitl. After that the leafs take the edge Nylander is better than nugg Muzzin is better than nurse Holl is better than bear Campbell is better than Koskinen and I would say rn mikeyev and pool party are equal but pool party will surpass.

Thread: Small moves to make a difference

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Not saying the Rangers do the deal, but Lemiuex really isn't an upgrade on what the Leaf have now?
Jenner really isn't a good 3C. Keep Kerfoot there and Bogosian has been playing well at RHD. Again more fascination with other teams players. And the Leafs would lose at least 6 games for each player due to Covid isolation. Gee and then they would have to get practice and get NHL ready</div></div>

I agree the Columbus deal is unnecessary but I think we need another guy like Lemieux in the bottom six even when we get Simmonds back.

In what sense. Technically 2first rounders with amirov Dermott who could replace Ekholm should they decide to move him for assets and a b prospect seems about right.

That has to be the most homer comment I've read in the past calendar year, the leafs don't consider that deal unless a first is added.
