Thread: idk what were doing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeygoalie53</b></div><div>Leddy probably brings back more than just a 1st, especially if MTL misses out on Gardiner. The OTT and EDM trades are pretty fair, though could possibly squeeze a pick out of EDM given the bounce back season Boychuk had last year. The Vegas trade is unnecessary if you're signing Laine to an OS, gotta leave room for some of the young guys to step in... Beau, Ho-Sang, Bellows are all NHL ready, with Wahlstrom not far behind.

You put Lee and Bailey in the 1 and 2 LW slots, with Beau in 3 LW, Casey in 3C and Ho-Sang in 3 RW and Komarov takes the Clutters spot as the 4 RW.</div></div>

I like the risk/reward on Gusev, he could be beast, or could flop, but for a second and a third and a two year deal I'm willing to roll the dice for him. If he's as good as he could be, barzal between him and laine could be nuts.

I don't think Ho-Sang is ever going to make it. Beau, yeah, probably move him to third line and komorov to reaves spot like you said and scratch reaves if need be. Wahlstrom is probably a year or two away, he provides depth if gusev stinks / doesn't want to stay after the two year deal. Laine is also streaky, so I think having a guy like gusev helps minimize that.

I also agree that maybe you can squeeze a little more out of some of those trades, but I tried to keep it as realistic and built on deals that I think would get done.

Thread: Lets go all out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Laudan</b></div><div>The problem i see ( i will go seriously and with logic here, cause like most of those butthurters from your fan base you are dealing with this reasonable ) is Marner was "recruited" for the cause of landing Tavares, then watching how he was hillbillied on Feb and from that reason i think other Teams offer-sheets ( tho i doubt there will be any, if those 1sts would be such a liability to throw around, there would be 7 Offer-sheets each year but they arent, two in last 15 years i think ) would be accepted from him before NYI one....</div></div>

I mean he was just at Matt Martin's bachelor party in Vegas for a week and Matt loves the island. He also gets to come to a team that can very well be his team with Barzal going forward, and it's a team that has very passionate fans, more so than a lot of places. Toronto will never be Marners team, especially now. If he does get an 11.5 - 12 year deal in Toronto, he's going to be ridiculed and whenever he doesn't perform, he'll be ostracized.

We'll see what happens. It's all in fun :)

Thread: Is it june first yet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>klondikebar</b></div><div>Yeah Tatar seems fair. I don’t really like saad but I would love Zucker, but I don’t think that trade makes sense from Minnesota’s perspective unfortunately because they need to get younger IMO. I would like Tatar but it comes w a risk because who knows if he’s gonna only out up those numbers this year. As for Leo, I hate his contract so much, especially since he can’t stick handle twice without losing the puck, I would love buying him out</div></div>

I just don't think we can have wahlstrom sit on fourth line minutes, it's better to have him in the AHL until he's ready to be a top 6 line. I moved AHO and scratched hickey now too. I'd be really happy if this was the team next year, lol. Could even send hickey somewhere for a third rounder and I'd be fine with it. Get anything for him and dump a little salary.

Thread: Lee walks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>This was the right move. I think we'd rather move Kappy for a ready player than magic beans (been seeing Greenway for Kappy from min) but offersheets don't exist until they do and shouldn't be a huge factor in trade negotiations.

There is no, "why trade when you can os"

Lou has worked 32 years in the NHL and has never once made an os.</div></div>

I don't think the 23rd overall is a big loss. It's entirely possible we lose Lehner and struggle with goals and end up with a higher pick in 2020. I'm 30 years old, and I've never seen the islanders go further than they did this year, it's an outlier. I'd rather lose the 23rd pick for a guy who put up 50 points at 22 and maybe get a higher pick (if we get lower than the trade was worth it.)

The offersheet money amount he'll probably get is a first and a third, and I think you probably have to beat that to get him from TOR. MAYBE a second and a prospect? But I think Tor takes this, and it benefits both teams. I wouldn't be upset. Maybe it turns into a mistake later, but time would have to tell.
