Thread: leafs d core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Let's look at it this way. They have 2 defenceman. Detroit don't have players, San Jose only have forwards, Anaheim are all looking for retirement homes, Los Angeles are looking for roommates for their retirement homes. Ottawa are looking for league minimum players. It's not bottom 5


In all honesty, I'd put at the bottom of the play-in teams. Maybe above someone like the Rangers. But 23/24. It's BAD</div></div>

Anahiem's D is better than this. Lindholm, Folwer, Manson. San Jose's is better than this too. San Jose's is overpaid and on contracts that go till they're 40, but Burns, Karlson, Classic is still way better than what the leafs have. I won't argue you on the rest, but at least LA has doughty and Ottawa has Chabot. Leafs is probably still better but at least those teams have their #1 and just have to fill in the rest around that.

Thread: Strome Cat package trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>BUF won't trade Cozens.
WPG is probably fair value-wise, but Ehlers has a much better contract than DeBrincat and they could probably get a different 2C for cheaper and not lose Ehlers in the process.
COL trade is a huge risk -- Graves has one year and Newhook is a prospect that hasn't touched NHL ice. DeBrincat and Strome has both shown that they can be top 6 NHL forwards. I wouldn't do that trade as CHI. If COL has confidence in Strome then I think they would do that trade since they'll probably lose Graves in the expansion draft anyway.

edit: said CHI when I meant COL in the last sentence. fixed it.</div></div>

Thanks for your thought. Of all of these, I think I like the COL one the best. However it only makes sense if manament decides the current team isn't a contender

Thread: 12 strome trades I wouldnt hate
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>I think the trade target with Winnepeg does make sense but would be looking for one of their right wingers as the hawks are short of top 6 right wingers. Cat obviously plays the left side, and while he can play the right, Cat is not looking like himself and don't feel good about throwing him to his off-side. In fact, I was mulling over trading both Strome and Cat as they can generate a pretty big return.

I like those defensive lines and am leaning towards trading both De haan and Maatta.</div></div>

Agreed. I think Murphy can play the left side just fine and is younger, better, cheaper, healthier than Maata and Dehaan. As for a WPG trade, I would prefer Ehlers to Conner because he plays right wing, but the WPG fans I was talking to said they would prefer it be Conner and he was pig last year and has a pretty good contract so I didn't complain too much. The emergence of Dach and Kubalik does make exploring a Cat and Strome package deal interesting. Not sure what a return would look like or what teams would be interested. Any ideas?

Thread: Some big moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>This whole Murphy and Kap idea needs to die. The hawks don't need Kap. Thats not saying he's a bad player. Its saying the Hawks dont get better by getting worse at their weaknesses. We NEED to keep Murphy

***EDIT*** Did anyone else notice how freaking well Dach played last night?!?! He was awesome and aggressive. He played more than either Toews or Kane.</div></div>

Dach is going to be a superstar. the kid flies around the ice and is so strong on the puck in the offensive zone. He looks bigger, faster, and stronger. His defensive game has come a long way, and Colliton has noticed because Dach is now getting PK time. Dach didn't just play more than Toews andKane, also played more than Mcdavid, Draisitle, and RNH. Led all forwards in TOI. 23 mins and some change. 4 points in 3 games, would love to see him get a goal next game.

Thread: 12 strome trades I wouldnt hate
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>I love compher but he's a mini version of what saad does. He doesn't have the offensive ability of Saad. Compher would be a great 3rd liner but trading Saad leaves a gaping hole in our first line and there is nobody else on the roster that can step up and play the first line RW position...and please don't suggest Suter</div></div>

I'm for trading Strome at this point so we could use him to bring back a quality winger that better fits Colliton system. I've been with Strome fo so long but the emergence of Dach these playoffs as well as Strome's sub par play has opened my eyes. He doesn't fit our system at all. the hawks like to score of the rush, play fast, and like centers that play a 2 way game. Strome is none of that. If i'mStan I'm calling Winnipeg and trying to build a package around Strome for one of their wingers. I was talking to a WPG fan earlier and proposed Conner and Perrault for Strome, Dehaan, Nylander, and a 2nd. He was interested. If we can pull something off for Conner or Ehlers that's a home run move IMO. Obviously it gets tricky making a big trade within the division, but the hawks have the pieces to fulfill WPG's needs. We have a @C in strome and they are looking for a 2nd pair defender which dehaan could be. dehaan has looked strong these playoffs which could boost his value as well.
