Thread: Willy to enjoying life by the Bay
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mmobley</b></div><div>Thanks for the comment!

The only challenge would be convincing Toronto to trade within their division. But I think the trade helps both sides. Nylander might be that extra piece it needs to take that next step in the post-season.

Johnson gives TOR a very experienced W/C and success playoff producer, who is in is prime and on a very good contract at $5,000,000 cap hit, especially considering that the cap should continue to increase. Cal Foote is also the type of RHD prospect that TOR is looking to add to it's lineup in the next few season, in not next season.</div></div>

I abso-fricking-lutely love Cal Foote and his two-way game! I would love him to be on Leafs. If these are the type of trades within division than it should happen. I love Johnsons play in playoffs. Where do I sign? :)

Thread: Playoff bound?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mmobley</b></div><div>That's a fair point. You're right, DAL would more likely trade a player that wasn't on their active roster in order to build for the playoffs. The trade was based off of Honka's current status on the team and was partially based on how his development with DAL has been lagging this season. A fresh start somewhere might be good for him. If Honka was still in limbo with DAL and DAL also gained a D with cup experience and solid 1st round prospect like Merkley, who is producing in his first year in the AHL, I think they might think about it. Hjalmarsson could also act as a bit younger and a short term fill in for Hamuis, play similar games a this stage of their career. Fair to make those arguments?</div></div>

Absolutely. Honka has been grossly mismanaged by the last two head coaches (Hitchcock &amp; Ruff). Should the next guy come in and do the same thing, I absolutely think they should move him before the deadline before he turns into another Oleksiak or Nemeth (both of whom are doing really well on their respective teams). With Pateryn and Hamhuis becoming free agents, I fully expect Honka to finally become a full-time player for Dallas. If he is still the 7th defenseman, we definitely need to get something out of him before his value plummets further.
