<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>I agree with OP's idea that Marner is worth way more than Alexeyev. Disagree that he's worth McMichael or Wilson, at his current cap hit, vs theirs. But I'm a Caps fan. What can I say?

Under a flat cap, a realistic WSH offer might be Kuznetsov, Alexeyev, and Hagelin for Marner and Engvall. An 80 pt center who's good in the playoffs is worth more than a 90 pt wing who isn't, but the age difference is worth an NHL-ready LHD prospect. Hagelin's better on PK than Engvall, which helps Tor. Engvall is better at playing center, which gives WSH insurance if McMichael stumbles. Caps still need to try to add a center over the offseason, with I don't know what cap space, but overall, I think Kuznetsov and Marner could grow after a change of scenery, and Marner is more valuable.

Would Tavares play 3C or 1L?</div></div>

idk. The idea of aquiring Wilson was to toughen up the lineup and to have the lower cap hit. The idea of my posting is to shed salary, aside from the Hamilton signing.

Thread: my lines tomorrow
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ZachHymanForTheHart</b></div><div>I’d try something more balanced tbh. Just to test it out.
And then test it out again once Foligno is in the lineup.

Galch - Matthews - Marner
Robertson - Tavares - Hyman
Mikheyev - Engvall - Nylander
Kerfoot - Spezza - Simmonds

This would give us 3 lines for the opposition to really have to worry about offensively. It also give Robertson a better look in a scoring role.
Engvall and Simmonds are more of an energy line, I don’t think Robertson works in that role.
He has a really good shot, he should be given a better chance to use that.

Edit: *When Nylander is back*
Tomorrow would look slightly different. Top 6 stays the same though. Throw Simmonds with Engvall and Mikheyev, and Thornton with Spezza and Kerfoot.</div></div>

Robertson definitely belongs in the top 6, that's his home, maybe put Nylander on the second line and Hyman down to the third,

Thread: A wasted 1st rounder
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howisjulienstillhere</b></div><div>The confusing thing is how the leafs keep getting pushed around come playoff time but when the make a trade for some size and physicality with some grit they get mad that they gave up to much.

Is it too much? Sure, but the leafs have a real opportunity here to do some damage in the playoffs. They play canadian teams for the first two rounds, and then you’re in the semis. The draft is weak and very uncertain and if you win a round or two(which your odds are much higher after the trade) the pick becomes very low.
And even if that player Becomes a good nhler you still went for the cup.

Coming from someone who watched his team have good seasons but never get the piece or pieces to make them champions, you should be happy</div></div>

Okay well said. I've just seen this team in the past give up great players and picks for older rentals and have it really backfire (Owen Nolan for Brad Boyes for example).
