Thread: Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>I didn't say Marner was available. I'm just saying if there was any big ticket TOR player that CHI would be interested in, regardless of availability, I think Marner makes the most sense. I doubt CHI would have much interest in Nylander unless he is willing to take 4 years or less. But even then, it doesn't really make sense for CHI to do it unless they think they are going to be a serious playoff team in 24-25, which I highly doubt they have any intention of being. They certainly could attempt to, and probably be successful, but they would give up so much that it would conflict with their philosophy of building for "long term success".</div></div>

When the leafs drafted 34, they made the playoffs year one. I think the Hawks have a generational talent there and could surprise some people

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DailyKarlssonFantasyLandTrades</b></div><div>I don't understand why Toronto MUST get Karlsson? Sharks aren't retaining 5.25 mil on EK65. Hehe

Mike Grier would like to remain employed. Quantity for quality trade won't cut it.

Nylander trade isn't happening either. Leafs are competing for a Cup. Not making their team worse for the present.</div></div>


I don't think they should trade Willie... unless they were getting EK65... Sharks wouldnt eat all of it... just a small portion... I've read CHI is willing to eat some as part of a deal. That was the deal... EK to CHI, then to TOR... SJ retains 2M, CHI the rest... only way I trade Nylander is to make EK65 a reality... otherwise, im keeping him... AND you dont even need to trade Willy to make that happen... I'd trade Brodie and his $5M and try to make it work...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>Detroit has no use for a 33 year old rental.

Our prospects on RD are at least two and probably three years away from making an impact in the NHL. That's why we have Holl for three years and Chiarot for three years.

Our prospects on LD are banging on the door to the NHL. That's why we have Ghost on an expiring deal so that he can be traded at the TDL.

Ghost was signed as an UFA, for the specific purpose to be a stop-gap until the TDL and then be dealt for a profit. Brodie is costing us, in this deal, more than we would get back at the TDL if we tried to trade him and we'd have nothig to replace him with if we did trade him.</div></div>

I was under the impression that the Chiarot deal is dead weight for Detroit. So the idea here was you get out from the Chiarot deal, Gain a solid Dman on an expiring deal that you could even resign for less on a decent deal considering he is from the area. The Leafs insulate Chiarot with a better, veteran high skilled group so that ALL he has to do is clear the front of the net and send it out of the zone up the glass. I think the Leafs would find value, and so could the Wings here
