Thread: Brodie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItWasIn</b></div><div>On the left side the Flames have, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Mangiapane, Dube, Lucic and soon Pelletier.

The Flames have way too many LHS. If they are to give up any assets for a Leaf player it would be for Kapanen. There have been rumours of their interest in him for a couple seasons. I think the Flames would give TOR a nice return to make it happen</div></div>

I used this as a basis for the trade. Tkachuk/Dube from Daily Faceoff play on the right side. I thought it would be a decent fit. But I can look at other teams.

Edit: I can just ship him to Colorado, if you're adamant against it

Thread: Brodie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>I'd rather use that Brodie money for Travis Hamonic, honestly. To me, Brodie doesn't seem like much of an upgrade over Tyson Barrie. Also, I cannot see a situation where Jeremy Bracco is back at all, and I think Travis Dermott is as good as gone this offseason.</div></div>

Barrie was going to be a puck moving defenceman. He flourished under Keefe, but Babcock deployed him poorly. Brodie plays a Holl role, being the guy playing back to give Rielly time to thrive in the offensive zone. Hoping Brodie is a decent defenseman, instead being offensively minded.
I would hate to see Dermott go. I think he is finally finding his niche on the Leafs.
I dislike Bracco as well. Would prefer to sign him and let him play in the AHL, or get an asset for him at a later point, rather than just letting him go for nothing

Thread: Brodie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>firezfurx</b></div><div>Brodie will get more. Move Dermott and put Sandin in the lineup and you can easily afford him. Also Spezza&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Brooks</div></div>

I'm hoping that Brodie will take a discount because he is a friend of Dubas', and he grew up in Southern Ontario.
I've seen a few people say Sandin would benefit from a full season in the AHL @ 28 minutes/night. Him and Liljegren would be an electric pair, and would develop nicer than in the NHL @ 10-12 minutes/night.
I'm not 100% sold on Brooks either. He did play relatively well for the games he was with the Leafs. Giving him experienced linemates in Clifford and Kapanen would help his development more. I'm assuming Tavares and Matthew's lines eat up 40-45 minutes/night, leaving 15-20 for the bottom 2 lines.

Thread: July 1st TOR OTT LAK cap down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs09</b></div><div>Leaf's Accept I think.
They have forward depth and can afford to move guys.
Toronto Needs a Right D and a gritty 3rd-4th liner.
1st round pick is huge to keep the prospect pool deep.
Robertson could make the team, Mikechev, barabonov, Kerfoot and re sign Spezza and not lose any of there top 4 guys.
I think Dermott could be moved as well for a 3rd line Center.</div></div>

I still think the Leafs decline. Khaira was the 13th forward for a thin Bottom 6 in Edmonton.
I don't think giving 2 middle 6 players capable of scoring 80-90 points (between the pair) + a 2nd is worth Larsson and a late 1st (although the first being late is kind of a joke, since the Oilers have a tough schedule for the playoffs)

Thread: Trading Rielly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LumberJacques</b></div><div>Actually Domi prefers to play C according to pretty much all his interviews, not sure where you got that he prefers wing from.

Suzuki was easily outscoring Kerfoot in his rookie season, and KK wasn't ready this season because he put on too much weight which hindered his skating and was hit by the injury bug. That doesn't mean he won't be good to go next season though.

All in all Danault, Suzuki and Domi are all better than Kerfoot and KK will very likely be better than him next season as well. Although they do need a game breaker at that position Kerfoot isn't that, nor is he better than MTL's current centermen.</div></div>

I completely forgot about Suzuki last night. That's my bad. Although Domi &gt; Kerfoot, I'm still not sold with him being a 3C (Domi). He should be playing Top 6 minutes, but I guess Montreal has the depth now.

Thread: Trading Rielly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>All poor offers for Reilly
Arizona accept
Montreal laugh to dead, would you trade Liljegren for Weal</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>After reading the description and especially the last sentence, MTL wouldn’t trade a 3rd rd pick for Kerfoot. We dont have a roster spot for him, and Norlinder/Harris are not going anywhere. Romanov/Norlinder/Harris/Struble all have top4 potentiel ( Romanov Norlinder more ), so we’ll keep them all</div></div>

I'm sure we could get more for Rielly, but given his injury history/short term left, he might not get a kings ransom.
The Habs could always use a center. They have Danault. KK isn't ready, Poehling isn't ready, Domi prefers the wing. It would give the Habs depth at a position that they lack immediate help at.
