Thread: (LAK/VAN) - Toffoli for Schaller, Madden, 2nd round pick, conditional 4th round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Danny12357</b></div><div>I think this is a fair trade for a rental, it's really hard to dislike this from LAs end, they got reasonably valuable assets for an expiring contract. They didn't do as well as NJ did, but Toffoli doesn't have the same value as Coleman, but I do think NJ did better on Greene all things considered.

I like Toffoli though, so this trade ends up being a reasonable price for a good player. Biggest knock will be if Vancouver misses the playoffs, not having your 1st or 2nd in a year you miss is really rough, especially when it isn't as if you had been making it regularly before hand.

I do think as well we are now starting to see that GMs are paying more in trades to get players who out perform their cap hit. While cap hits could always hurt a players value before, I think with the Coleman deal we saw a GM pay extra simply because the player had term left at a very low cap hit for what the player brings to the table. It will be interesting to see if this continues.

Montreal is a team that comes to mind that has a good number of complimentary players with very good cap hits for their contribution, and it will be interesting to see if they take advantage of this market and add assets for guys like Danault, Armia or maybe even maximizing value on Tatar by retaining salary of this last year. All of those players have exactly one year left on reasonable or even bargain deals, and holding some salary could create a very lucrative trade market for them if we are finally seeing teams pay a premium for players who can out perform their cap hit, and who have an extra year of term.</div></div>

The 1st they traded is lottery protected. They keep their 1st and it transfers to next year if they miss.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarnerElite </b></div><div>Well, then the Leafs can trade for Tanev's rights at the end of the season. It'll cost a lot.</div></div>

Obviously its a possibility. But I just cant see them moving him over Stecher. He does so much more for the team on and off the ice. Good defensive defensman with a solid transition game. Yeah he was getting injured alot the last few years when we hit rock bottom but if you look at his injuries theyre almost entirely shot blocks and lingering issues from Getzlaf falling on Tanevs ankle. Guy was eating clappers constantly cause we never had the puck.

Never got injured back in the Sedin era. The guys called him Gumby for the way he could take hits and bounce back up. Hes played every game this year now that we dont suck again. He also got custom shot blocking equipment made which cant hurt.

Tanev is close with the young guys in the room. He cooks dinners for them at his place and just genuinely helps them with learning the NHL life. Not to mention the way he compliments Hughes on the ice. Gives Quinn the freedom to play his best and is so good at cleaning up the few mistakes he makes so they dont end up in the net.

Stecher just doesnt bring as much value to the team in my eyes. But its funny cause for some reason I feel like people on here believe Stecher is the more valueable of the two. Even despite the age difference.
