Thread: 22 leafs playoffs
Thought Kevin Papetti made good trade suggestion: liljegren for severson, but don’t think it would be enough, so Sandin Kerfoot gets it done I figure. I think leafs fans might be too high on Sandin if they can’t let him go for a 27 yr old No. 2-3 dman. Severson can play top pairing with Reilly as soon as Brodie slows down a bit. Severson’s makes us a better cup contender this year vs current d-core. I might be undervaluing Kerfoot, I like him, but trying to create a plausible trade. The del zotto trade is largely for cap management and is completely Kevin Papettis idea. I think KPs recent trade musings were pretty clever. Nick Paul is heavy, and heavy on hustle and replaces that aspect of losing Kerfoot. In all, we lose a 3rd pairing LD (for now) and a middle 6 Swiss Army knife for a top notch 27 yr old top 4 RD and a large, solid bottom 6 LW who can also play C.

Thread: Marner for Reinhart and Skinner
Reinhart is a proven 25 yr old 0.75 ppg player, can play 1st line RW or 2C, Skinner was that for 5-6 yrs straight. I was thinking Skinner might be better with the pressure off in terms of offensive expectations being 5th-6th on Leafs behind AM, JT, WN and SR. I’ve assumed Skinner gets back to 0.5 ppg. Admittedly, I haven’t read anything about Skinners game and his major fall off is really bad, but I figure he can’t be a 0.75 ppg player for 6 yrs and then drop off as bad as he has last 2yrs for good. I think Marner can’t do it in Toronto, and I think 1 star in SR and 1 chance with upside in JS plus a good draft pick opportunity isn’t too far off of what might happen. Leafs also get a mid-round 2nd and 0.4M in cap space, maybe that mid round seconds a first instead. I couldn’t shake this deal from my head, maybe it’s as bad as the lmao comments and I just had to exorcise it lol.

Thread: Snarl factor Dumba Gudas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TooMalevolent</b></div><div>Jesus Christ these are bad trades. You obviously have never seen the wild play. If you are going to trade a player like Rielly, at least get Bordin and something else. The red wings trade does not deserve elaboration.</div></div>

Disagree that the Trades are “Jesus Christ” bad. Minnesota’s issue is at Center, not D, otherwise regarding the trade with Minn, see my reply to Kukas26. Dumba has great evolving hockey goals above replacement value. I think Kapanen just has to go for Salary cap management, he can’t play on a 2nd line, he’s a 3rd line winger with 40 point seasons in him. Toronto might need teams to retain salary like I have proposed with the Glendening trade. A 4th round pick isn’t nothing either, maybe we get a 3rd. What’s your trade value for Kapanen.

no thanks</div></div>

I think that’s too narrow-sighted of a view. Maybe TML should get a bit more out of that deal when you compare point totals for Reilly and Dumba, but Dumba can be half of a fantastic 2nd pairing for Leafs, he has a point shot teams have to respect, he can pot 15+ and can hit like a freight train (we didn’t have the point shot threat or the toughness this year); The Leafs’ Achilles heel this year was Right Defense. Dumba + Gudas is so much better than Ceci + Barrie. Without Reilly our LD probably falls below league average but holds it’s own as a viable NHL left D group and our RD goes from abysmal this past forever to at least league average.
