Thread: another yotes deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rgwhite17</b></div><div>Don’t see sandin being included in this deal. They will want to add onto Rielly, Brodie, sandin, not subtract a piece.</div></div>

Then they likely aren't getting Chychrun.

Any potential deal the Leafs make for Chychrun starts with Sandin and a 2022 1st, (in my opinion).

Adding Chychrun makes Sandin expendable. Here's the thing... I don't think the Leafs want to do that.

Just because I proposed the trade of <strong>Holl + Sandin + Robertson + 1st 2022</strong> as something that Arizona would be interested in doesn't mean that I would do it as a Leafs fan.

My point is... you are not getting something tangible for nothing. The original trade is not enough to get both players and a retention included on Chychrun that Arizona will be paying for the next three years.

It just isn't.

Thread: Chychrun
That is the kind of package that it will take to get Chychrun. Anyone who thinks otherwise just doesn't understand the game.

Ask yourself this.... Is this team even worth that kind of investment of futures? I don't think they are a contender even with Chychrun. Last night's embarrassment just furthers my thoughts on that.

There are deeper issues with this team that most people can't see because they are blinded by their winning percentage and regular season point totals.

"Soft and Purposeless" was a very accurate assessment. I'm not talking about adding goons and knuckle draggers when I say that. Just players that are prepared to leave it ALL on the ice night in and night out.

We have very few of those kinds of guys in Toronto at present. Hard work trumps skill when skill isn't prepared to work hard.
