Thread: Toying around with depth
Underpay with both trades realisticially.

Coleman is a cheap middle 6 C signed for two years. Coleman is going to cost more than a 2nd + a goalie who has suffered a huge setback due to injury.

For Murphy, you're going to have to give up more than Duszak & Aberg. Both are questionable free agent talents. Aberg is too good for the AHL but seems to suffer from TJ Brennan syndrome. Duszak is actually quite young for just finishing college, so him dominating the ECHL as a 22 year old isn't necessarily bad. DUring his short stint with the Marlies last year he looked comfortable playing in a top 4 role. I imagine next year he jumps to the AHL and is relied upon heavily on the right side along with Lindgren. But while Duszak is probably underrated, he's not getting you Murphy.

Thread: The Most Mega Leafs Sharks Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DenisPotvin</b></div><div>So we disagree about Burns's durability. OK, that's fine...but humor me. If it could be guaranteed that Burns would be a Norris-level player until the end of the 2022 season, would you make that trade?</div></div>

If ifs, ands or buts were candy and nuts, then every day would be Christmas...*looks at calendar*, okay fine you win this one.

Assuming he is in serious contention for the Norris (2015-2017 play) for 3.5 years then yeah I think you'd have to go for that as it'd be hard to say where things will be in 4 years time. All the same by accepting this deal I'm also accepting the fact that we'd have to essentially have a guy who dramatically falls to 3rd pairing lvl making $8M for two years because there's no way we'd be able to afford the multiple firsts/top assets to move that contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DenisPotvin</b></div><div>How often to game-changing defensemen become available outside of the draft? I can think of four times this decade (Subban, Weber, and Karlsson, with two off those instances being a swap!)

Dubas gives up no critical piece and acquires one. He maximizes his team's window for the next 2-3 years.

But, it all depends on if you think the team is good enough now. I don't think they are a legitimate SC contender, but they'd be the team to beat with Burns on the blueline.</div></div>

Burns is primed to fall off literally any day now. He's already fallen to a 54 point pace, which is great don't get me wrong, and it is only going to get worse the coming years. Acquiring Burns wouldn't maximize the team's window for 2-3 years, it would maximize it for literally half a year.

Also cap space is a critical piece, and for the next 5 years we're going to have a guy falling off a cliff from a #1 to bottom pairing dman making $8M.
