Thread: DownTown Sports Trade

Arizona could do better considering what they are giving up here.

Its not off the wall crazy but, I just think that if those players are on the block, they could get a better return by trading them individually.

Thread: Pretty good trade deadline

All of these trades are lite in regards to what they would be receiving from Toronto.

All of these teams could do better than these offers were they inclined on trading those particular pieces.

Its a pretty easy no from all of them. It is a laughable no from the Islanders.

Put yourself in the other team's position when you come up with this stuff and ask yourself... "Would I do this if it were the team that I support?"

Would you trade TJ Brodie for... a bad contract who's already been waived once + an AHL'er with very little NHL upside + 2nd round pick in the late 40's and ask for a retention too??

It is a pretty easy no right? So... why would the Islanders do it?

Thread: Toughness

Actually.... were these moves ever on the table, I would do it in a heartbeat. Not sure the other teams would though.

This is exactly the kind of depth that would help without giving up large amounts of higher end assets.

Nice work!

Still want a larger scale move to the D core but, not a bad start at all.

Thread: Trying to Manifest This Trade into Reality

Its not enough for Arizona. Sandin + 1st 2022 + Another high prospect probably gets them listening on Chychrun alone. The rest of the stuff is just fluff.

I would NOT do this if I were the Leafs. I doubt Arizona would do it at all.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 11, 2022 at 11:16 a.m.

Thread: a little chippier

Its WAY too much movement. The Leafs would never do something like this in season.

All of that aside, those prices are kind of laughable for the other teams involved. Most if not all would not even consider these moves for those returns. (Especially with the retentions).

Theres also this thing called the salary cap to consider. Big miss there too.

Absolutely no chance of this happening.

Thread: TOR DAL

As a Leafs fan, I would not pay that price for Klingberg. (Especially as a pure rental).

He's not really what the Leafs need on the back end IMO.

Its a pass for me.

Thread: Matthew Knies

Matt Knies won't even turn 20 until after next season starts.

He's still a couple of years away at this point.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 10, 2022 at 9:07 a.m.

Thread: Tinkerbell

That is an absolutely horrible return for the Islanders and there is no way they would ever consider it.

The other two seem so irrelevant that I would never consider it if I were the Leafs.

Thread: Idea

Ugh.

Let it go. I don't want that nut job anywhere near the team that I support.

Thread: Just a thought

It is excellent value for Vancouver if they really want to move Miller IMO.

Still seems unlikely with Ritchie attached to it though.

Thread: Lines without Matthews

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>If Matthews is unable to play they can call up and emergency player. No?</div></div>

If Matthews is out long term, (LTIR), there won't be any issues with the cap at all.

They have to play without Matthews and short a roster player to activate the emergency call clause.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 8, 2022 at 11:42 a.m.

Thread: Thought experiment

All teams decline. There isn't enough value here for any of them.

It is ALL very one-sided in the Leafs favour IMO. Shocking.

Thread: Josh

I absolutely love this trade from a Leafs perspective and I would do it in a nanosecond.

I doubt the Ducks would though. (Especially with the retentions).

Nice work though! I really like the pieces.

Thread: RD and cap dump

Pretty steep price for a cap dumb and a bottom pairing D no?

Pass for me.

Thread: Leafs

Its just FAR too much movement.

Something like this would never happen.

I expect one or two trades. Not much more.

Thread: Colorado

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>lot of people knocking on Crouse.
Not that I think he's worth that. But I'll give him credit. He's got 10 5v5 goals in 41 games. He's getting production.
At 24 I think he's probably a guy I'd take a run at, but not for that.</div></div>

Personally, I'm not knocking on Crouse at all. I just think that is a steep price for someone who will likely be a bottom six player on the Av's.

I think if Colorado was serious about chasing Crouse, they could do it for less than Jost and a 1st.

Maybe thats just me.

Pretty steep price for Crouse no?

Thread: D and G

That isn't enough for Chychrun and there will be much better offers for Arizona to choose from.

I don't see the Flyers trading Hart. They will build around him. He's young enough and good enough to be part of their plan.

So, all in all.... not very realistic IMO when you consider the needs of the other teams involved not from Alberta.

Much easier said than done.

Thread: An oil spill that cant be cleaned up

With all due respect to McDavid, this seems like a lateral and unnecessary move for the Leafs.

In short, there is no need for this.

Thread: no cap increase

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>I don't know how to tell you other than you're flat out wrong. You are misjudging the trade market badly here. Literally everything you said in this last comment is likely wrong and isn't backed up by years of evidence.</div></div>

You are just overvaluing Kerfoot. (Most Leaf fans do).

Credit to him for putting together a decent season. Thats great. At the end of the day, he is around a 40ish point forward over the course of a full season.

He isn't worth a 1st unless some team wants to overpay to get him. Better options for less money are available.

Prices are always inflated through the blue and white goggles.

I will not be commenting further.

Thread: no cap increase

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>There are guys much worse than him who are going to fetch a first. He is absolutely worth that on the trade market and he will get that or equivalent value, maybe more.

If your argument is he isn't worth that intrinsically in the long run, sure I'd agree with that, but that has no bearing on what he can return.</div></div>

My "argument" is that he won't be traded in season this year. In the offseason, his value will drop. There are many "Kerfoot-like" players available for less every offseason.

Kerfoot is not returning a first round pick on his own. No way.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Never said not to trade him, I said don't trade him for less than a 1st</div></div>

He's not worth a 1st.

If someone wants to overpay, also fine.

Thread: no cap increase

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Say it with me:

Alexander Kerfoot is a top-6 LW on a 60 point pace signed for 3.5 aav. Stop trading him for anything less than a 1st</div></div>

He is having a fine season. He is NOT a 60 point forward year in and year out.

He is very expendable if it means keeping Campbell.

No brainer.

The big move is unloading Mrazek and finding a serviceable backup for around a million+ dollars.

If the plan is to keep all of the "big four" plus Reilly on his new extension, Kerfoot may become a victim of the numbers game.

I'd be fine with that. He doesn't move the needle enough to lose a more important piece.

Those are the facts.
