Thread: Tatar for Leddy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeygoalie53</b></div><div>Not one single person, except maybe Habs fans who want him for nothing, value Leddy at an all time low right now. Most people, with knowledge of hockey, understand that Leddy's point total dipped because Trotz implemented a DEFENSE first system. In fact, most would point to the fact that Leddy went from a -42 to a 0 in plus/minus and still managed to put up 26 points (only 16 off his total from the year before) while drastically improving his defensive game.

Take a look around at what the experts are saying the Isles can get for Leddy... a haul of picks/prospects or a Top 6 forward. In fact, in a Tatar for Leddy swap, most think MTL needs to add a pick (3rd or 4th rounder depending on who you ask) because Leddy is slightly younger and signed for longer.... but you guys keep thinking you're going to get a Top 4, excellent skating, puck moving LHD defense (that you need) for a bucket of crap.

I shouldn't be surprised this is coming from the same fan base that thought they were getting Ghost from Philly for Andrew Shaw, how'd that work out for you?</div></div>

Someone's a little bitter it seems. Enjoy your 26 point all star top pairing defenseman big boy.

Thread: Tatar for Leddy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeygoalie53</b></div><div>You're looking at two outlier season on both accounts. He was a minus 42 on a team that had the worse defense in the entire league. And he had 26 points on a team that focused on Defense and turned the worse defense in the league into the BEST defense in the league. Everyones point totals were down on the Isles last year because of the system put in place.

Leddy is a Top 4, borderline Top 2, excellent skating, puck moving LHD that on a normal year nets you 40+ points and an average +/-... look at the whole not just the parts that fit your narrative.</div></div>

That's one way to look at it. However it's also true that Leddys value is at an all time low right now while Tatars is at a high.

Thread: roll 4 lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Goldninja0</b></div><div>In my opinion with your team I would give you these lines:

Drouin - Domi - Gallagher
Drouin and Domi have good chemistry together and you should see how they do with Gallagher.

Tatar - Kotkaniemi - Shaw
KK has played with Shaw before (I think) and KK and Shaw both should have second line.

Byron - Danault - Puljujarvi
Byron and Danault are good players.

Poehling - Thompson - Weal
This works because Poehling got his NHL debut hat-trick on a shift with Thompson and Weal.

Chychrun - Weber
You already have that. Yeay!

Mete - Petry
Mete shows great chemistry with Weber so why won't he with Petry?

Kulak - Juulsen
New combo but let's see how it goes.</div></div>

I dont think it makes sense to break up the Tatar-Danault-Gallagher line just yet.

For the rest of the lines I would probably want

Lehkonen-Domi-Shaw
Byron-Kotkaniemi-Puljujarvi
Poehling-Thompson-Weal

With Suzuki starting in the AHL.
