Thread: 2021 Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Dermott was our best defender when muzzin was out both during the season and in the play in. He is like a jake gardiner who can play defence and hit.... on either side.

Sandin won’t develop much more in the ahl. I would take him on the third pair and give him some extra shifts. 15min in the nhl is better for him than 23 in the ahl.

Keep Lilly and move Holl. Saves over 1m and I bet liljegren would look better with muzzin than Holl.

Lehtonen is the wildcard. I don’t know much about him. Is he going to be a 3rd pair guy who gets 40 games this year? Or is he going to look great and play with Rielly?</div></div>

The Leafs cannot compete with the elite teams of the NHL the way they are. Dermott isn't very good. Liljegren is a pipe dream. Sandin is two years away from being a top four defender.

There is too much money invested in the offence.

Change is in order, or you can expect the same results.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nighthawk</b></div><div>If Jake isn’t an improvement for the Wings then they must be loaded with nobodies on RW.
He’s easily a 2RW on the Wings &amp; if bounced to 3rd then something good is happening.
Other than Larkin nobody touches his speed.
Stecher is a very solid 3rd pairing D man that replaces Biega &amp; can play top 4 if needed.
Roussel is very solid &amp; would help the Wings over what they already have.
Wings problem is a horrible cap situation for a rebuilding team that on,y needs time.

In the end as my explanation says tweajs could be bone. The Wings are sad &amp; these players woukd all help in the meantime. In goal is another big need.

Like I said make a counter offer instead of judgement that doesn’t achieve anything.
Use the ACGM to see this proposal thx</div></div>

Wings have Mantha and Zadina as top 6 RW's. So no Jake would be a bottom 6 F even on Detroit.

Biega will be Wings 7th D at best, Hronek, Seider, and Gustav Lindstrom will be their RD's next year. All are young and have potential.

Roussel might be marginally better than another 4th liner Wings would trot out but he's certainly not going to make any meaningful impact

Wings have like 35M in cap space so not sure what you're talking about being in a terrible cap situation. They have a couple bad contracts in Abdelkader and Nielsen but other than that their cap outlook looks great and there's a good chance they'll buy out one of those contracts this offseason.

I won't offer a counter because Detroit doesn't really want any of these guys at the cost of valuable future assets. They've finally started to get some of the old, useless vets off the books and make room for their prospects to play. No sense in cluttering the roster up again with marginal players with little or no upside.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nighthawk</b></div><div>Jake is a known quantity &amp; room to get even better.
The 2nd is more than fair fir unknown proven.
Adding a RW is big help.

Stecher &amp; Roussel amount to the 2nd maybe. It could be a 3rd.
Stecher is young RHD &amp; an upgrade on Biega &amp; can play minutes if needed with injuries.
Roussel is a solid vet &amp; plays with energy as a 3rd or 4th line winger.
Can add some scoring &amp; mentorship during the rebuild.

Berggren is still unproven but I project his ceiling as a 3LW</div></div>

Jake is what he is atp, a dime a dozen bottom 6 F. Stetcher is decent but Detroit kinda set at RD with Hronek, Seider pegged for top 4 duty. They'd maybe have some interest in him alone but not for the 32nd pick. Roussel is another bottom 6 F the Wings don't need or have room for
