Thread: Tkachuk for Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevorchef</b></div><div>Every team would love to have a guy like Tkachuk. That is why the price would be astronomical to acquire him. Add Mangiapane to the deal and now you've made the asking price even higher.

Nylander + Robertson + Sandin would likely get the Flames listening. (And that would just be for Tkachuk). That isn't a trade that I am interested in making but, think along those lines.

The bottom line is, the price for Tkachuk is likely more than the Leafs are willing to pay at this point. They way you acquire those guys is to draft them.

Some Leafs fans will point to Marner's scoring totals and try to justify a fair deal. That isn't the big picture. Even though Tkachuk does not produce the scoring numbers that MM does, he provides immeasurable other intangibles that are a rare commodity in todays NHL.

It just isn't a very realistic trade from a Calgary perspective.</div></div>

Not a flames fan. But this is spot on.

Thread: Pens trade Redwings and Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Again, in your opinion.</div></div>

Come on, at least try and look up something to backup what you are saying. Top 4 dman, really? He averages the 6th most minutes on the Pens and is a whole two minutes behind the next closest. The Pens do not see him as a top 4 guy and neither does the rest of the league. Its an bad offer for Bert and you know it. If the wings trade Bertuzzi it will be for a far better return than this.

Also have you seen the Red Wings prospect pool for wingers? Its Centers that the wings need far more depth or more importantly impact with. The deal offers nothing of what the wings stated goal of the off season is, the building of long term sustainable success.

Thread: TML Transformation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Ya, the Pens probably wouldn’t do this.

Sid would be pissed if the traded Guentzel. So they probably won’t.

Pens organization says they are looking for size, defense and a backup vet goalie. Guentzel is better defensively and plays more physical than Marner. The organization would probably rather Guentzel. I know Sid would.

And the Pens like every competitive team right now are up against this flat cap. They are trying to shed salary, not take on. They are cash strapped and have RFAs to sign.I don’t think taking on Marner’s contract would be an option for them. Especially losing 2 top 6’s in the process too.</div></div>

Yup Marner is not Brian Burke material. Not a bad trade though, I think it's fair honestly.
