Thread: Idea I Saw On Twitter

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>4 nothing players do not change any culture. This is a terrible trade and you knew exactly this fact.</div></div>

Graves led the NHL in plus/minus twice. He isn’t what we expected him to be but he has pedigree.

Smith is a proven playoff performer, reached 2 finals.

Rakell is a feisty winger with good puck carrying ability.

Jarry is meh, but TOR will be desperate for a goalie.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>If Laffy isn’t that great, then why bother trading for him</div></div>

I mean he won’t be a generational 1OA pick.

He will still project to be a decent top line LW, like Guentzel, and that would be good enough for us.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>The classic "give me your good players for my trash" trade</div></div>

Probably from Toronto’s standpoint, it would be a change of culture.

Instead of paying 5 guys 55 million, they’re going to break down the money a bit more, have a bit more of a balanced lineup.

And of course acquiring both Smith & Rakell would send the fans a message that they want guys who perform in the playoffs.

Jay Rosehill said he would rather have 12 Ryan Reaves than to have 1 Mitch Marner. Thoughts?

Thread: Cup contenders

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>So basically you've exchanged one season of Marcus Pettersson for one season of Jakob Chychrun and your starting goalie and three prime futures for one season of Mitch Marner.

Win now, worry about the future later cuz Sid/Geno have 1 year at most.

If they get a fourth cup, that’s all that matters cuz it will prove they have a better legacy than Kane/Toews.

But at the same time I don’t think this team is it. Need a 3C and a 2LD.

You have cap space, keep Pettersson.

Toronto is going through a retool, they wouldn’t want to give up a first especially just to dump a player with only 1 year left.

I feel that is a fair trade cuz the guy is going to demand a massive raise on his next contract and has never hit 60 points.

You’re probably overconfident cuz you swept a non-playoff team in the first round that any team could beat. Getting swept by Carolin in round 2.

IDK, I feel like Marner rarely gets rush chances the past couple of years, mostly it is offence off the cycle. Which he does well in the regular season but not so much in the playoffs cuz of increased physicality.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>he won't ever be on Sid's wing. 3rd or 2nd line.
That depends if they can move him or not. The team has not given up on him as far as putting him out on the ice.</div></div>

Honestly I didn’t like what I saw from him on the third line, his lack of defensive presence killed the bottom 6.

I feel like he’s the perfect type of winger for Sid, he has to earn it obviously.

But at the start of the season, I’d probably have rolled Guentzel-Crosby-Smith and Rakell-Malkin-Rust.

Guhle is untouchable for the Habs as far as I’m concerned.

But Matheson + Gallagher for Marner is a fair trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>DOC is better than a 4th liner and should get more than 4th line minutes.
As far as Smith I don't know, if you believe that you believe that. Could have been nagging injury for all I know..Bbut here is the thing. He's in a contract year next year. He's got ever reason to go hard all year.</div></div>

If Smith goes hard this year and plays well, that's great. He has a lot of Sheary in his game, but he will need to earn that spot on Sid's wing after being in the doghouse all year.

Perhaps Boston wanted to wait after the playoffs to see what his value is at. 19 goals in 80 games doesn't exactly scream 5 million salary.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>so lets leave the 3rd pairing ttrash.
Lets push DOC who's starting to break out down to the 4th line for Beauvillier.
And lets sign DeBrusk to 4.75 mil so we can complain about him just like we do with Smith because he's the exact same player.</div></div>

Smith's issue is not his ability, it is his work ethic. The guy quit after November.

DOC is a great player to have in the bottom 6 but is pushing it in a top 6 role. He has good forechecking ability, but his ability on the puck is nowhere near top 6 level yet.

DOC-Eller-Puljujarvi would be awfully similar to Kuhnhackl-Cullen-Fehr in 2016.
