Thread: Jones and Lindholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GirouxFanclub</b></div><div>I'm just not sure if it's worth it to sell some of your future for a d-man that will have his prime basically wasted in the middle of a rebuild if that makes sense. Ik where you are coming from tho bc its harder for younger players to develop if they are not playing with anybody good to make it easier for them.</div></div>

Yeah, I don't think Lindholm's prime will be wasted. He turned 27 in January and so you'd look at next season as entering his prime likely and you've got 3 years of it. I personally think the Hawks are playoff team next season if indeed we did what I suggest or close to it. I think then we are looking at 2 to 3 years to be competitive, not cup winning but more then a first round exit and that is also the time where the cap should increase due to revenues returning to normal with the addition of Seattle. Kane shows no signs of slowing down, Cat is elite, Kubalik is really good in his 2nd season and not yet in his prime, Suter looked great as a rookie, everything we are hearing about Reichel is this kid is a top 6 player in another couple years, Hagel and Hinostroza both impressed in Coach C's system. To me the wild cards are Dach and BoQ. If they can take the next step next season and the season after, this team will be in pretty good shape.

Thread: Okay lets try Montour
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_Storm</b></div><div>Montour is a guy Kypreos and some media tried throwing in for every Nylander tried before they moved over to Manson when Montour was flipped to Buffalo. The issue is he did not do well in Buffalo, and their fans want him traded, that's why he's in every trade package. Either Friedman or Johnston (can't remember which one) mentioned that it seems like management is trying to move montour, that he likely won't be back next season.

Could the leafs use him, with our RD, sure it's possible, but I'd rather not take a 4M gamble on a player who has not seemed effective.

Connor Murphy is not a good defensemen. I see him lumped into so many trades, and the reason he's available too is because he is bad. He had a really good major junior career, and people still have hype for him because of it, but he is the opposite of what we need. He's a poor man's tyson barrie. He is a worst-case scenario acquisition if Rielly and Sandin got hurt kind of player.

I don't understand the obsession with Carter Rowney on here either, a 4C for a guy who (specifically when with Muzzin) made a formidable shutdown pair. I'm fine with Rowney, but he's a guy you trade like Calle Rosen and a 5th for, not Holl.

Otherwise, i'm fine with Boyle.Seems fair for Dermott and Mikheyev, although Nylander would not be 3RW, he's either top 6 or playing C.</div></div>

I see so many Nylander and Marner trades, so it must mean they are terrible! That is the only reason why they would be in so many trades on this site!

Thread: Upgrades on both ends
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HatterTParty</b></div><div>Definitely agree on askarov. I wouldn’t hate having him for the future, but there’s too many good players to take before him. As for lundell, you hit it on the head, a lot depends on draft positions and where the others are picked. I have some hope that the hawks could maybe move up a spot or two and then at least one of holtz or Raymond may be there, but if we are number 9 and lundell is the one left after all the better players, yea, go for it. Do I think he and Bowman’s baby boy are gonna bring a cup to Chicago in the next 10-15 years? Absolutely not. They will be the best we can get though. They will hopefully make us competitive, but there’s a lot more to fix beyond them obviously.</div></div>

LOL you are going to lose your marbles if we have Lundell and Dach as the future centers!!! :cheers
