Thread: Trade Theory
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>In_it_to_winnik</b></div><div>Lafferty, Raddysh, Dickinson, Domi are all sorta reclamation projects imo. I'm not high on Robertson but he has had success at every level. Simply can't stay healthy (done for the season). Hes a worth while buy for a team looking for young talent with potential. I didn't say he's the only asset going back.
Conditional pick (up to 1st) , cap dump and prospect seems like a deal that benefits both sides and will do right for a player that has given everything for Chicago. I still think he moves to Dallas to play with Seguin. Gurionov probably goes back in that deal as a player that could do better in a different environment.</div></div>

If I'm Chicago I'm taking Robertson over Gurianov, younger player with more potential (even though he's been injury prone so far). Gurianov is a solid player but further along in his development and his career, not exactly what Chicago needs at the moment unless they plan to continue to be mediocre

Thread: Flipping Timmins
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>that's my biggest take on it - like, did some Leafs fans forget why you traded for Timmins in the first place? at the very worst, if you like your D depth with that top 6 + Timmins, you can think about flipping out one of Benn or Mete if the demand is there, but that's as far as I'd go - moving out a redundant guy that's a pending UFA.</div></div>

This isn't a complete roster. The Leafs would need to go and get an insurance D for the playoffs but I can't imagine that it would be overly expensive to get a 7th guy and have Mete and Benn as 8 and 9. I'm purely considering the fact that you can flip someone you got for Curtis Douglas to then get a big fish. The whole "trading a paperclip up to a house" mentality. Buy low, sell high, and flip for more assets. Do I think the Leafs will do this? No. But I wanted to see what it could look like. I'm not disregarding the need for depth in the playoffs, I'm just seeing what that move could look like.

Thread: Moving Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JMEW</b></div><div>I just feel like ZAR andHunt are the players Toronto got for the specific thing Kampf excels at so it makes no sense not to have all 3 on a line. I get the Kampf and Engvall connection though, but I think Engvall would get that with Holmberg also.

I could also see going:
Kerfoot - Holmberg - ZAR
Hunt - Kampf - Engvall

I just don't think ZAR with Holmberg makes much sense since you would want that line providing bottom 6 offense.

Line 3 = Bottom 6 Offense.
Line 4 = Bottom 6 Defense.</div></div>

Yeah I can see them moving the bottom 6 lines around a bit, but ZAR is and always has been a purely defensive player with poor offensive production so I can't help feeling that he wouldn't be the best fit with Kerf and Holmberg if that's supposed to be a scoring support line. While Hunt hasn't produced in the NHL he did have great numbers in junior, so he does have some finishing touch capabilities. Could make a bit more sense with Kerf than ZAR. I think Kerfoot gets moved before the year is done, though, since he's an UFA and we can use the cap space.
