Thread: Leafs cant afford him we steal him
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FlamesBlow</b></div><div>Someone hasnt been paying attention to his reported demands. He is looking for money, and thats his right. Being a leaf seems to mean very little to him. The Oil are cap tight but this team above is better than what skated off the ice last year. They are developing, cap is rising, bad contracts are coming off the books, this deal makes them better long term. The leafs are trying to win right now, every passing year without a cup is a year wasted for them, they cant make this same deal without making their team worse in the long run.</div></div>

You realize its the agent who sets the asking price...? Marner doesn't talk numbers until the agent says he is ready to sign... Marner loves Toronto and wants to play here. Learn how negotiation works?

Thread: Unrealistic and plausible Sabres all in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rktkt66</b></div><div>With the Flyers hiring a new coach who relies on veterans and Giroux is clearly their heart-and-soul, there's no way that Philly ever considers trading him for a questionable prospect and draft picks.

Similarly, all you need to see is the Sharks' reaction as a team when Pavelski was seriously injured and hear the player interviews to know that Pavelski is revered in San Jose by players, management and fans. They won't allow him to walk away in free agency.

If you take those two scenarios out of the mix, the roster pretty much looks unchanged....?</div></div>

Yeah I see your points. The picks in the Giroux trade are pretty decent though.. 7 and 20's + a conditional..
Nylander is still a pretty solid prospect. I think that package is reasonable should Philly want to make the move to get younger.
Lets put it this way. I don't think it is far off.

The Sharks are going to be in cap hell this summer. Decisions are gonna need to be made. Could easily see the Sharks opting for younger more long term pieces.

Fair criticisms though
