Thread: the other side of the marner trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Turcotte isn't their best prospect they have Byfield and Vilardi and already have Kopitar and Danault. How many centre prospects does 1 team need? One or 2 of them will get traded in a couple years anyways.



Marner would instantly become your best player. I think most other teams fans don't understand how good he is.

Sure we definitely overpaid for him but only cause he was an RFA. If he was a UFA he would have gotten 12M+. Columbus wanted to give him 12.5M and was willing to give up 4 1sts but Marner didnt want to play there.</div></div>

Kopitar is by far a better player than Marner. He might eventually be better than Kopitar but Marner hasn't shown he is the same player in the playoffs as he is in the regular season. Until he can prove that, he will always be the whipping boy for the Toronto fan base. So if Marner wasn't going to sign an offer sheet for Columbus why did you have to pay him the $10.9? Cap management has been an issue for Dubas.

Thread: Final Kings lines with some minor trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>2nd overall picks very very rarely spend 2 seasons playing down, yeah Covid contributed but if Byfield can’t force his way on to the team in a top 9 role I think that would be a little disappointing especially considering he already has NHL skills and size.</div></div>

He does have a taste of what the NHL is about. Why rush him to have him play 10-13 minutes a night when he can get stronger and work on his game in the AHL? Normally he would have to either make the Kings or go back to the OHL because of his age. Better to have him play first or second line center to get the experience and playing time. He can come up later when he earns it
