Thread: A possibility
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsFan</b></div><div>I would also take Larsson over Holl everyday of the week. But for some reason Leafs management does not believe that Dermott or Sandin can fill his spot or they can sign his replacement, ie Larsson etc. It sucks but I really don’t foresee any drastic changes.

IMO if Kerfoot somehow gets selected over McCann you could see them resign Hyman.</div></div>

It makes a lot of sense to expose Kerfoot over Holl.
Holl for the past two seasons has put up average analyitics against the BEST competition in the NHL getting majority DZ starts. Not only has Larsson never had to consistently face 1st line competition he would come at a higher price on the market. The reason is so expensive and was protected is he is very valuable, for the price of 2 million he is IMPOSSIBLE to replace. Compared to Kerfoot, you can find multiple replacements around the same and price and cheaper.

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Pontus Holmberg (2 Years / $827,500 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>Which blows my mind because I don't think they even have a top 15 prospect core right now.

It's Amirov and then a bunch of bottom 9/bottom 4 tier prospects.</div></div>

The leafs prospect system is top 10 (I'm a very big prospect guy, watched a lot of games when the NHL wasn't playing) (a little bias lol). One thing to remember is defensemen take much longer to join the league. Not all defensemen are Makar. Sandin is our top prospect with similar progression to Byram so far (Byram has higher upside). Amirov is a great prospect medium star potential, high nhl potential . Robertson has high upside high chance of failing (injury prone, IQ, size). Liljegren has been slowly developing in the AHL, hoping he makes the jump next year, similar development to a decent 2nd pair defensemen in his prime. But the real value in our prospect system right now is the amount of players that COULD make it. We have a lot of depth, like low chance (30-50%) players
Topi Niemela, Hallander, Abruzzese, Semyon Der-Arguchintsev, Abaramov, Kokkonen, Miettinen, Ovchinnikov, Hirvonen, Holmberg, Rindell

Thread: Marner to the Canadiens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hobo</b></div><div>I am trying to figure out how someone calls Toffoli's numbers an outlier - LOL It's not like he has been in the league for 1 season - there is some previous years to give you an indication of what he can do. I mean 344pts in 577 games works out to just shy of 49pts per 82 games.

Many leaf fans want to see someone's head on a stake for the years and years of poor playoff performances - Marner is the whipping boy right now - everyone wants to move him, but many are unwilling to accept what may be value or what the team needs in return for him.</div></div>

Toffoli seasons is 100% an outlier. This is not saying is he bad. Toffoli is never finishing better than 7th in league scoring or touching (on pace) 44 goals in an 82 game season. Toffoli was on pace for almost 70 points this year, that is an outlier for a career 49 in 82.

This not being Marner's value is also because I hate Anderson's contract, he is an injury prone, flukey winger who is also hasn't been a good playoff performer. Hasn't done **** since game 1 on the whole playoffs. He also doesn't fit Toronto's style, we don't play on the rush, Josh Anderson is ONLY good on the rush. Kapanen is a great example of someone who plays heavily on the rush who performed much better on a rush playing team.

Also it doesn't matter how much the media ****s on him, GMs still know the value of a consistent 90 point player even if he has disappointed the last 3 playoffs. (Also on a cheap salary) (Salary is not caphit because of signing bonuses)
