<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoreHitzSeider</b></div><div>Stats aren't everything. Joseph brings speed and he's tough to play against. He has Cup winning experience and he's in his prime.

You conveniently ignored the contract situation of both players. Why would any NHL GM trade 4 years of Joseph for 1 year of Holl? If Joseph played for the Leafs and Holl played for the Sens there's no way you'd make this trade.</div></div>

I actually forget to mention the contract situation in a non purposely way lol. If the Leafs had Joseph and Ottawa had Holl, I wouldn't do the trade as it doesn't fit their own needs / improvement. Ottawa needs defence which the Leafs have a lot of contracts of defence men. Ottawa has a lot of good bottom 6 players which Toronto could use (Joseph) hence why I thought this trade could be used as a foundation of a trade, I believe I stated in the original post I was using these trades as rough building blocks for ideas which could work.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoreHitzSeider</b></div><div>You're underestimating how good Mathieu Joseph is. He's a very good player which is probably why you want him. The Sens need to improve their D but they're not trading Joseph to do it. The Leafs aren't the ONLY team trying to improve. The Sens are too and this makes absolutely no SENSe for them.

Also Joseph is under contract for 4 years. Holl is a rental. This fact alone makes the trade unrealistic.</div></div>


I know Joseph is a absolute beauty as I feel you could tell from my praise for him. I literally said how Ottawa's system is about to produce NHL calibre players for the bottom six shortly with the list of players I had mentioned. Also, Joseph current pay is 3 million if you rounded and he has 1 goal and 4 points in 18 games played. If you did the math, that is 750k per point which isn't all that great. Correct me if wrong but he is on pace for 18 points. For reference, he played 69 games last season and had 30 points which is almost a 0.5 PPG. He has history of being a good player but currently isn't doing all that hot on offence stats wise. You also pointed out the elephant in the room by saying Toronto isn't the only team wanting to improve.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Welcome (back?) to CapFriendly.

Los Angeles has 13 forwards on the main roster now, plus Iafallo and Lemieux on the IR lists, plus Byfield and Turcotte marinating in Ontario, so Kerfoot is of absolutely no interest to us. Moreover, we wouldn't even CONSIDER trading Matt Roy unless it was to fill our position of need, which is LhD, which you guys don't really have. (Sandin doesn't have quite enough experience for us.)

Keep trying! :)</div></div>


The kings are one of those teams who don't have too many holes in their roster except some being young and not fully ready. I felt as Kerfoot would be a valuable to the middle six even though it's tight due to his defence and penalty kill ability. He has shown to be good on offence even though his current rough start to the season. I just was trying to make a trade which would benefit both teams as the kings are lacking on PK with them being ranked 25th with a 74.3 PK percentage and the leafs would gain a defence man to help their current mess.

Justin Holl is bad but he is a AHL / NHL ish defence man who can play 20 minutes (shouldn't) for a team who is missing Chabot, their main defence man. Their rough start may make them think about tanking (debatable) which makes Holl an even more perfect fit. Not all of Ottawa's defence are NHL calibre truly yet. Holl has NHL game experience too which might help Ottawa do better even though he isn't the best. I meant this to be a rough ish foundation for a trade of players. The pick is meant to be a incentive to do the trade for Ottawa too. Ottawa also has many good players within their system like Grieg, Sokolov, Boucher, &amp; Ostapchuk who look almost NHL bound. Ottawa's bottom six is very competitive and will be even more in the future with their prospect pool. If Ottawa decides to tank for Bedard too, they could get good value out of Joseph as he is a solid 3rd liner. This is just meant to be a rough foundation for a trade between the two teams.
