Thread: are the kings selling pieces or going all in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WN88</b></div><div>Roy would objectively be the best trade target for the Leafs. I’ve thought about this idea before, but Kings fans are usually pretty insistent that he won’t be traded, even though he won’t be re-signed. So not sure.</div></div>

i know their tdl plans are kind of hinging on the severity of kempe’s injury rn, so if he ends up being out long term maybe they think about it? cuz realistically they could take these assets and get a guy like walker back in to fill the role for a second, or use the first and cap savings to go after a bigger target.

i’d love to see the leafs get roy and honestly think it’s possible, if a bit of a long shot. maybe flip this first for guentzel if kempe’s out 👀

Thread: Tanev and Walker
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Hopefully one could come with an extension. But I agree with you on Benoit and McCabe.

One injury to a dman and we would be better off with both Tanev and Walker. But the price needs to be reasonable.

The price in the AGM is reasonable for both players. Realistic? Time will tell but it is reasonable.</div></div>

walker reportedly wants 5m+ this summer, highly doubt the leafs do that deal. tanev will probably be somewhere in the 3.5-5m range as well and at his age with his injury history i think that's a dangerous investment.

i'd like to see the leafs improve their defence but looking around the league i just don't see a clear upgrade, and the leafs definitely shouldn't make a move just for the sake of making one. i have a funny feeling ristolainen was the plan until he got injured, now i have no idea what else the leafs could realistically do to get a clear upgrade on the d-core

i think the leafs just let this season play out and try again in the summer. probably hope they can get someone like skjei or roy in free agency and tinker around the edges, or maybe make a trade for a guy like marcus pettersson. i just don't see the market being worth it this tdl

Thread: andersson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoxNix</b></div><div>The Flames AREN'T looking to move him and it'll take quality to get him not quantity. Late 1sts and decent prospects might get you a top 4 defender but it won't be a 1st pairing two way right shot RD on a great contract for 2 more years.. That'll take a least one high quality asset, an A+ prospect or a high 1st and unless it's a top 3 pick or an elite prospect it'll take more than just that.</div></div>

that's what i just said, the flames aren't looking to move him and so they won't lol. but my point was i highly doubt a better offer than that would be out there in the event they were. the devils don't need andersson and certainly wouldn't move nemec for him, and any team bad enough to have a top 10 pick wouldn't be looking to move it for andersson, he's a great defenseman but not nearly good enough to turn a basement-dweller into a cup contender on his own

Thread: Who adds
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Why you doing this? You know what each fanbase will say, &amp; majority of “neutrals” hate (jealous of) the Leafs .
Marner is two time 1st team all NHL, selke finalist, plays for the premier franchise in the league &amp; who has out produced the other by 40% (massive difference in production) over their careers to date. Not even close but maybe you’ll prove something 😕</div></div>

basically the only things sens fans could earnestly argue tkachuk is better than marner at is toughness and goalscoring. but if you look at the stats marner and tkachuk are tied at 35 for their best goalscoring season, and tkachuk only has three more than marner this year (while having 22 less points lol). so they're basically even in goalscoring ability, while marner blows him out of the water in terms of defense, playmaking, and skating. sens fans can come in here and **** on the leafs but even with the current contract statuses the sens would accept this trade no questions asked. marner is and always will be a far superior player which is why he has never missed the playoffs and tkachuk has never made it

it would basically be the equivalent of trading patrick kane for jamie benn
