Thread: Leafs and Ducks with Muzzin LTIRetired
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Kerfoot isn't worth his contract right now, and the ducks already have a swiss army knife player, and he walks at end of year anyway, this is purely cap dump
Engvall is a piece I am interested in, but with no team control, he is effectively cap dump unless he comes with an extension in place.
Sandin has promise, but so do multiple other LD that the Ducks have in the same age as him (Zellwegger, Mintyukov, Thurn, LaCombe)
and a late 1st

Asking for a young, physical winger that we like and has scoring finish, if inconsistent at times, but has looked good this season.
The only veteran defenseman we have signed next season who has been with the team his entire career, whom still plays well, and has a 4 team trade list

Sure, the value may be there on paper with Sandin + 23 1st, but the deal still doesn't make sense for the Ducks, as its not giving us things that we actually need, and is depleting us in areas we can't afford to get carved out on. You want our young power forward in Comtois, then we need one back, it'll cost you Knies. You want our top pairing Defenseman, Thats going to take a 1st and Kokkonen, plus a warm body on D that can take decent minutes, Benn will probably do. After that, you can throw in Engvall and Kerfoot as cap dump.

Comtois and Fowler for Knies, Kokkonen, 23 1st, warm bodies/cap dump, assuming all trade protection clauses can be met.</div></div>

I'm completely fine with you not liking the trade offer that's fine. But this - "Kerfoot isn't worth his contract right now" has to stop. It's madness. An unnamed forward who can capably play anywhere in the top 9 as a complimentary piece, centre or wing, who put up 51 points last year, 47 at even strength, is ABSOLUTELY worth 3.5m, especially on an expiring deal. Just because Leaf fans put him in too many proposals, or fans dislike Leaf players, doesn't make it true.

Thread: Yes Leafs Again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>There is no way the Leafs give up their top defensive prospect for a rental, that's what the 1st and 3rd is for, teams don't typically give up their top prospects for rentals , unless they think they can't resign them or they need a change of scenery, or the player they are getting is elite, and weegar is very good but not elite. As a promising RHD prospect Niemela has a lot of value.</div></div>

Weegar is incredible. His analytics rank him among the best defenseman in the league at 5v5, and he's only 27, entering his prime. He plays LD and RD, and elite on the penalty kill, would be perfect next to Rielly, Sandin in the future, or anyone else. I would happily trade more than this for Weegar, especially a guy like Niemela who has loads of potential but nothing concrete in the league, and is still years away from the NHL. You wouldn't be making the trade for a rental - it would be to sign him long term.
