Thread: Spurgeon
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>That spurgeon Trade is very bad for the leafs future. I think if you replace liljegren with lindgren it’s a bit better.

I am okay with the basis of kapanen for spurgeon. I think this fits both teams needs. With spurgeon being a rental I don’t see us needing to add much in the way of futures as we are moving a roster player. I think that kappy and a conditional first on re sign would be much closer to fair.

Think of it this way. Spurgeon plays for the leafs for one season walks in ufa and goes back to the wild. They now have spurgeon and kappy and the leafs are left with nothing. If wild were to retain in spurgeon I would add a 2nd.</div></div>

I used the Muzzin deal as a comparable and increased the offer based on:

1. Spurgeon is better
2. We get him for a full season.

Thread: Ideas from the Athletic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>S1LV3R</b></div><div>Trading for any Top 1-2 RHD is a losing battle. Nobody wants to give them up, and if they do, they want a king's ransom.
Every other team has had to draft them, which I think the leafs should do.
Not every 1RHD needs to be a top pick either:
Weber - 2nd round (49th)
Faulk - 2nd round (37th)
Subban - 2nd round (43rd)
Chara - 3rd round (56th)

The leafs would be better off using their 1st and 2nd picks going after D, then trying to trade for one and breaking the bank/roster to do it.</div></div>

I agree that we shouldn't be bending over backwards to trade for a #1D, but its pretty ironic that amongst the list of D-men you chose to illustrate your point 3/4 were acquired by their current team via trade. :squinty
