Thread: Acceptable for Detroit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>No, No, No. Wings need multiple defensemen. Sieder is one piece and Hronek is the other piece. Yzerman is in this for the long hall and he is not trading top 5, Larkin, Mantha, Bertuzzi, Hronek and Sieder. Might add Zadina also. Unless someone blows off his door and trading one of those for a guy who PROJECTS, but has never played in the NHL, would be stupid and set rebuild back.</div></div>

I get bert, Mantha, Larkin, Zadina, and seider are untouchable but if you have a potential at a generational talent you can give up a guy who could be replaced. Wings have others on the right side in seider, lindstrom, and antti tuomisto. Again just saying if scouts say take this generational talent as that’s what this team lacks it’s worth it.

Thread: dallas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leaflet</b></div><div>I see what you did there.

Faksa is more defensive and would slot well at 3C for us. Kerfoot has higher ppg, thus probably higher value on a trade market biased toward offense. But makes sense for both teams. I tend to like it.

Johns is tough to tell. Missed an entire year, only plays 17 min a game in Dallas. Not clear he can jump to a top pairing, but can be on a third pair. It's trading more size for Dermott. I don't dislike it, though my bet is it's not what Dubas plans.

Trade favours Dallas.</div></div>

sorta of a low risk high reward if johns does play well. i hear a lot of good things from dallas fans about him. so it’s worth gamble in my eyes.

Thread: Carlo is the guy we need
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leaflet</b></div><div>You're right to emphasize Keefe's system.

Carlo would be the right player in a more conservative defense system, a style that doesn't allow so many chances off the rush. In the Leafs world, his value would diminish. You need ultra fast skaters that can move the puck real quick.

I think when people say "we need Carlo", in reality they see our defensive system as shaky, and don't believe in it yet (which I can understand). But adding Carlo won't magically change things if the system stays the same.</div></div>

Exactly. It's the same thing when people say the Leafs need Scott Mayfield. There are players out there that would fit into the leafs system and bring something the leafs currently dont have. Radko Gudas has fantastic underlying numbers as a #5 throughout his career. Hes crazy but hes a good puck mover, can defend the rush and is good at suppressing chances. Cernak is also pretty good but a bit overrated because hes on TB

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>K issues

NJ matches as they got significantly more cap space and Blackwood is their new starter.
Danault is worth way more than that even if he is a rental.
Ottawa has no need of freddie they got Nilsson/Hogberg as their tandem next year.
Johnsson could probs get a third and a 5th if lucky but a 2nd would be wishful thinking. Maybe a conditional 2nd but even thats a gamble.</div></div>

1. Agree Blackwood likely is retained but a man can dream.
2. Danault is better but is not signed as long Kerfoot is younger and signed longer and produces similar to him even now. You could sweeten more from toronto's end but only if he re-signs with us.
3. See another thread for my reasoning for Ott and Andersen.
4. Johnsson I'd be down for cond 2nd but Id also consider holding onto him so we aren't trading from low point too.
