Thread: What Sources are Indicating
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevorchef</b></div><div>Thats fair, and so they should. Any Eichel trade would have to come with either the assurance that he is healthy enough to play or a very pre-agreed upon understanding of recovery time after surgery to properly use LTIR.

If the Sabres asked for Drysdale + Henrique (for salary purposes) + The 3rd overall pick.... Would the ducks do it?

I think that would be a very fair return for Buffalo IF the Ducks know exactly what they are getting in Eichel.</div></div>

If this were a year in the future, I'd absolutely consider it. Honestly, it's like Zegras though. If we were an Eichel away from being competitive, I would absolutely consider trading him. But, we're not, and won't be for <strong>at least</strong> 2 years. I just think it's extremely short sighted to start moving picks and prospects when (at best) this moves you from 2nd worst to 9th-10th worst. Plus, even if you look past the injury stuff, what's to say Jack doesn't show up and say "Welp...you guys also suck...I'm going to demand a trade, but now I have the power of my NMC, which is going to absolutely f*ck you :)"

Thread: Would the leafs be better without marner and cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevorchef</b></div><div>Hyman will leave. He deserves a big raise and he will get it as a UFA. The same applies to Rielly. After this coming season Rielly will be a UFA and deserving of a big raise (7+ Million), and he will get it as a UFA. You can take that to the bank.

The Leafs are not in a position to extend either of those guys and keep the core together. They just can't do it. It would cripple the depth.

Falling in love with your own players is a dangerous game. I love both of those guys, but, it is time to make the tough choices.</div></div>

Yep totally agree and I think Dubas understands that, which is why I tossed out the idea of trading Marner. You cant fall in love with a single player and I think the biggest problem outside of a killer instinct this season was when the injuries hit, we didn't have the depth to fight it.

Thread: Granland Ekholm How Far Off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevorchef</b></div><div>I said that it would get them listening. Nothing more.

An opening offer like that would get most teams attention.

I seriously doubt that would be the end of the deal though. Those are two premier players with term left. Anything short of that.... I'm sure Nashville could do better elsewhere.

If the plan in Nashville is a rebuild.... Robertson, Sandin and a 1st is a great start. I don't think rebuilding is their plan though.

Replacing guys like Ekholm and Forsberg isn't as easy as it sounds. Especially with term left on their deals.

It would take a massive injection of blue chip prospects and picks for them to part with both of those guys IMO.</div></div>

Yeah, I'm not too concerned with the cost for Forsberg, I highly doubt Nashville is moving him, and even if Toronto somehow got him, it would lead to major roster changes next year, so just don't see it.

I really don't see Sandin and Robertson on the table this trade deadline, not with the Leafs lack of capspace today and going forward.

Thread: Good Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevorchef</b></div><div>It seems very few people actually understand that this kind of maneuvering does not work at present.

It would be foolish to insert Lehtonen into the lineup just to have him on the bottom pair and risk losing Dell to waivers, (very likely), in the process.

Without subtracting Barabonov, (who is waivers exempt), and going with one less forward, this kind of stuff just doesn't skate at the moment.

Barabonov out and Robertson in is a move that would work at present.

This, as presented here, does not.

People need to stop thinking beyond the left over cap and start thinking about waivers exposure. Do you want Hutchinson as your number three right now? I sure as hell don't!!</div></div>

Yup I agree. There are several ways to move in players without risking anyone on waivers. Keefe will most likely juggle things around with this starting roster before moving players. It’s one game in and I’m not going to judge Bogo based on that but if he continues through this back to back with this poor play I think you have to risk waivers with him.

I believe Robertson and Lilly in and barabanov out works just off the top of my head.
