Thread: Leafs Fully Commit to Playoff Run with Auston Historic Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MyTeamsSuck</b></div><div>Multiple retention slots used probably kills the Flames deal. I’d be suprised if we used any retention slots.</div></div>

I guess I don't understand.

One Retention spot for Tanev. That'll be up this year. Given that the ask for Tanev was a second, I think a first for Tanev + full retention is fair. What does Calgary need the money for?

One Retention spot in Mangiapane is for this year + one more after. For that, Calgary gets Robertson, a 22 year old 20 goal guy (Today), Fraiser Minten - Canada's WJC Captain and a pretty good prospect to play middle 6 C, and a body to replace Tanev and let guys past while the Flames finish the season and try to secure a good draft spot. I don't see why that's not enough for a 27 year old 55 point guy with one extra year retention

Kemmel
Kasper

Ostlund

I also don't only look at this year, but a weighted average of the last 2 years. Yes, the 50 points in 40 games as a freshmen had the Cooley bump .... but he's also not 0 points in 12 games. I'd wait until the WJC to make a judgement call. If he can reproduce last year's All Start WJC performance I'd cut him some slack. I also think the last 2 years on average Snuggerud has been better than the 6 I mentioned above.

He may be no SnuggerStud, but he's for sure not some SnuggerDud

Leafs will laugh at the Matthews trade

I’m all for on that nylander trade. He’s got to go. Knies will easily replace nylander. New core 4

Trade Matt Murray of course or keep him whatever
Sammy is gonna get more money and woll is ur starter, he’s more than ready.
Don’t resign ZAR
Buying out Murray is dumb
Bring up steeves and holmberg. Or whoever is nhl ready from the marlies.

Knies-am34-marner
Jt-ROR-jarnkork
Steeves-kampf-Acciari
Laffy-holmberg-Mcmann

I’d trade Lily tbh he hasn’t done much unless he proves himself in training camp and preseason then fine.

McCabe-Brodie
Reilly-schenn
Gio-timmins
Lily* if he’s good</div></div>

I think the trade (Matthews) is pretty comparable to the Tkachuk trade.

You have a (normalized 82 game average over last 3 years) 105 point player in Auston Matthews. Matthew Tkachuk is a 93 point player. Therefore, the value of Matthews (based only on this metric) is 13% more than Tkachuk. Matthews is better defensively, Tkachuk brings physicality and agitation. To me, these cancel.

So, I would expect the return for Matthews to be 13% higher than the return for Tkachuk. If I were to rank the value of players in this deal vs the Tkachuk deal , it goes

Huberdeau &gt; Slavin &gt; Teravainen &gt; Weegar. Overall, Huberdeau + Weegar &gt; Slavin + Teravainen. The difference is made up by a second first round pick. I don't think it's a "Laughable" deal
