Thread: Just fooling about with things that will never happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>My problem is that you basically admit Johnsson is a cap dump in one of you previous posts. The logic does not follow that you trade a Cap Dump for a first pairing RHD and then ask if you guys overpaid.

I created a post which you may or not be a fan of because it dumps Johnsson for a mid round pick, let’s toronto keep Kapanen while acquiring Murphy. Here’s the link to the ACGM. Murphy is a good right handed defenseman, and those don’t get moved very easily.

Edit: don’t mind the Buffalo side, can be any team willing to aquire Johnsson for a third and an underperforming prospect.

I was thinking that Dermott would be the ideal piece as he's a young and potential top 4 D. Also while I say Johnsson is a cap dump he is still a decent middle 6 forward. I looked at your and think we can all agree that the value is close of a kappy for murphy or a 1st for murphy. Would a Dermott/johnsson/Second rder Be better? I don't think the leafs are aiming to trade away a first round pick either and we're just speaking hypothetically anyways. I appreciate you making an attempt at a counter offer instead of just the "Chicago laughs and hangs up on you" or whatever.

Thread: Thinking outside the house that is outside of the box
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Dear god no!!! I took a look into it. The only thing that I could come up with would be a trade around bear and Russel for zaitsev and brown. This works out a bit better for the oilers but I’m not sure about the leafs.

Russel could not play top pair, so it leaves a glaring hole. Dermott could play 2nd pair RD so this would essentially give us 2 bottom pairing Dmen. If Dermott were to play with Rielly I could see it working with bear and Russel filling out the roster.

Certainly better options out there for both teams.</div></div>

I moved on myself, I couldn't find a single deal that looked good. If Russel was like.. 5 years younger i'd consider it because he was this weird anomaly of shot blocking defense machine but terrible advanced stats. I think Detroit is interested in Zaitsev so i dumped him there for a pick. Vancouver will only be interested in they somehow don't get Myers.

Thread: Thinking outside the house that is outside of the box
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>I actually really like the idea of spezza as a 3c. On a very cheap 2 yr deal. Think he could compliment a player like kapanen. It would give the leafs a chance to find a suitable replacement over 2 years. Could be developed traded for or even ufa in the future. Helps the cap for now.

I love the idea of hamonic in Toronto, perfect artner for Rielly. I am also a flames fan though and I get the feeling that hamonic will be re signed.

A deal involving Kadri a pick and a decent RHD prospect (not Lilly) for hamonic and jankowski (or if we get really lucky Bennet) would be a solid hockey trade both ways.</div></div>

I actually considered that too and maybe Spezza is the option but i heard he's going to sign in Ottawa so i moved on from that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>I think it’s The personal aspect. Gallagher is a leader there. I would imagine that it would be a price the leafs do not want to pay. I think there are other players that could fill that role with a cheaper trade value. To be honest I think you need a playmaker to go there with JT.

The blues trade looks better. I don’t think the blues make that deal either but it seems close to fair.

When I make trades I usually try to pinpoint players that are either on the block or I can see good reason for them to be moved out.</div></div>

Yeah I've done and seen enough of the Kappy + Z + whatever for Pesce deals. I am just looking outside of the box, what are things that we can least expect. I don't think the blues do it either but it's merely the concept of what's accepted. The problem I always see is everyone the trade block is all offensive minded, don't PK and toronto needs help on PK
