Thread: Carter Hart
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>So the leafs give up a premium to get a guy who isnt even better than Murray? Why on earth would they do that? The Leafs dont need a long term option in net, they need a guy who can help them contend now. Hart is not that guy, Murray probably isnt either but they arnt giving up good assets to let a younger guy stink.</div></div>

Only thing I like about MM is he has won two cups and was a big part of it, very similar to what Kuemper did with the AVs. They didn't lose their team the cup! They didn't need to steal the cup for the other team they just needed not to give it to them. Leaf goalies over the last few PO have been just as mentally(weak first goals) and the other teams goalies haven't given up the leaky goals at the wrong time.

Thread: Carter Hart
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Hart has been an inconsistent goalie on a bad team. He can be good behind the right team imo, but I’m not sure how eager I would be to the test that theory in Toronto.

If they had just kept Campbell, or added Fleury at last year’s deadline, I’d feel much more confident in the Leafs future than I do now.</div></div>

Nothing that Jack accomplished in TO would leave me as a Leaf fan happy with having Jack in net for the next 5 years for 5mil per. Jack is 1000% one of the best humans in hockey but he has had inconsistant play and injury prone. Would i have taken Jack at 5mil over 2 season over what we currently have yes but Jack still has his question marks as does Fred (Both need PO success). The Leafs need a legit killer in net come playoffs with the current mental fragility of this team and that will not change with replacing a bunch of bottom six players. Goaltend will make or break this team come PO

Thread: the deal is 1 for 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>He holds value to you, the budget teams are already set at middle six. The Ducks literally have no spot for him on the roster, we don't care that he is only owed 750k, you would have needed to move him to us before we signed Vatrano to do the same thing for his real money owed to have mattered. Only way we take him is to move a roster player back the other way, such as Grant.

We would do Grant for Kerfoot straight up, as we get the better player, but Toronto still gets a swiss army knife type guy and 2 mil in savings. We have absolutely no reason to add draft capital to that exchange.</div></div>

Did you even read what i posted? I stated just as you did what i thought his trade value would be but added a late pick(6-7) and I also stated that he had value to the Leafs and named players that should be gone before him.

I really do not see the Ducks as a budget teams as much as say Buff/Win/Ari where the ownership at this point would rather have cap hit/low real dollars or insured dollars.

The Kerfoot/Grant trade would make the most sense if a deal was done between both teams I just don't think Kerfoot is the first to go

Thread: Predictions- Toronto Maple Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoachCoach</b></div><div>Tough division this year. To me, Tampa and Toronto fight for 1-2 spots. Florida has a chance to crack it but I think they end up at 3. Boston holds a slight edge over Ottawa for 4-5 spots (depends on Boston start with injuries). Buffalo and Detroit could surprise everyone and possibly get into a 5 spot, but most likely fight for 6-7. MTL brings up the rear and continues acquiring young talent.</div></div>

I think the Atlantic will come down to what teams start hot as there will be way less "easy" games and goaltending will ultimately determine how this shakes out.
TB has played a ton of hockey over the last three season and will also start without some key guys but have the best goalie in the division (top 3 in the game) I think they are all interchangeable minus the Habs and feel the Leafs could fall to 4th, I just don't agree with the OP in the sense that i believe that the difference in 3-7 got smaller rather than the gap between 1-3. the top four teams are all worse off to start the season on paper and team 5-7 closed the gap just not sure how much and how quickly

Thread: Helping tor with there cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>I’ve seen articles suggesting Jarnkrok was signed to replace Kerfoot long term. I’m not saying Jarnkrok is as good a player, but I do think the Leafs r preparing for life without Kerfoot.</div></div>

I just don't see us attaching anything to Kerfoot. he is only being paid 750,000 in real money and that's what matters to budget teams/ teams taking on cap. With his actual dollars owed i see a Bjorkstrand
type return. Similar point totals over their careers and Kerfoot @ almost 2 mil less cap and 4+ mil less real money. I get that he is a Leaf and that alone makes his value zero. He is a good player and the Leafs really shouldn't move him unless it is part of a package for an upgrade or they get something in return
