Thread: Marner to CBJ plus FA signings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>So the Jackets are giving up 3 of their top 4 prospects from a top 3 pool and two more 1sts for 2 years of Marner. It's actually ludicrous how undervalued the Jackets' prospects are by Canadian hockey fans.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Marners close proximity to UFA, high cap hit and clear desire to only be a Leaf will lower his trade value by quite a bit.

Not saying he's worthless but he isn't getting multiple 1sts and A-prospects.</div></div>

Ya’ll clearly never read the full trade. Its 2 conditional first round picks, and with a high probability that CBJ retains these two 1st round picks. Realistically, it is the 3 prospects, 2024 and 2025 2nd round picks, and a guarenteed 2026 first if the 2024 or 2025 1st rounders do not go back to the Leafs.

You are also forgetting that prospects are magic beans. You dont know if Marchenko will get past 21 goals. You dont know if Jiricek is gonna be a top defender like hes projected, and you certainly dont know if Dumais is gonna be a full time NHL’er. Yet with Marner, you get somebody who is established, and you still keep your 2023 1st rounder, and possibly your next 2024 and 2025 firsts as well.

Thread: Very Unrealistic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VilleKoho</b></div><div>Agree with the title, however this does make you a lot more like the bruins in terms of depth, and playoff snarl. If only you guys had a dependable goalie I think you would be set. Still not sold on the "durability" and consistency of Samy and Murray over a 7 game series, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see!</div></div>

Only a leafs fan can dream my friend lol. Definetly wont happen but would be sweet!

I think im confident in Sammy, but not Murray. I was hoping that with the leafs medical team and trainers, they'd be able to help Murray rehabilitate much better than he did in Ottawa. I mean, look and Ondrej Kase last season. He went from 3 games with bruins the season prior, to almost 60-65 games with the leafs. I hoped the same would happen with Murray (which was why I liked the Murray trade at the beginning), but there hasn't been much progress in getting his health back to stable.

Thread: Boone Jenner Vladislav Gavrikov and Sam Lafferty
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>You're off on why there are Gavrikov trade rumours. They're not shopping him because they think they can get a good price for him. They're shopping him because he wants too much money/term and they're not willing to meet it. They'd prefer to re-sign him and in fact they're still trying to negotiate a contract with him, but it's probably not going to happen.

If Jenner didn't want to stick around through some lean years he wouldn't have signed an extension and taken the captaincy after Foligno, Savard, Jones, Dubois and Atkinson were traded away. He wants to be a career Blue Jacket. That's just the way it is.</div></div>

Fair enough, thanks for the correction as I did not realize it was for that.

Gav is no more than a $4M defender, and that number is kinda high for the style he plays. When Gavrikov signs his next deal, I have a feeling it will be close to or equivalent to Jonas Siegenthaler in New Jersey
