<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trickster</b></div><div>You want to laugh when asking what should be added to the trade??? Way to add to this ACGM.</div></div>

Trickster, I agree with you on a lot of things....but not this. A rebuild doesn't mean you trade good valued players just to get younger. Gibson is a top goalie, on a great long term contract. Ducks would not have interest in trading him, especially for 1.5 year goalie, Andersen.

Thread: FAIR GEORGIEV TRADE FOR BOTH SIDES

I Just think the Leafs don't have that much of interest in Kreider. Georgiev yes. Georgiev has played 23 games this year, 33 last year, Kinda think not quite backup as so many are calling him. Is he worth trading for thinking he might add some time be a 55 game starter and a good one? Is trade value will be base on that projection.

Thread: Getting D

I don't like the trades this year for the Leafs. Trading two RHD at only getting one back. Gee you have the cap to keep Ceci.
Doubt if the Flyers trading a young RHD. Campbell is NHLer and is under contract for 2.5 years....you offered the Kings nothing.

Thread: Can Lindholm play the right side

I wish Leaf fans would stop blaming the Leafs so called top pairing woes on having an inadequate RHD to play with Reilly. Maybe Reilly should just improve his game. Reilly is good on PP, and just OK at even strength. Both Babcock and Keefe were/ are pretty fearful of putting Reilly on PK. So while I have not agreed with the silly "numbering system" fans give for NHL pairings, you can hardly call Reilly a "#1" because does not play a complete game as Dman.

Thread: Bleafs

Guy, I don't think you have watched one Leaf game if you think Barrie is worth a first rounder and more. Of all the teams to trade Ceci to, the Ranges who are flush with RHD. Georgiev is a # 1 A/B goalie with the Rangers, he certainly is worth more than perennial AHLers.
Leafs seem too trade too much just to get a middling RHD in Manson. Just keep Barrie and Ceci for the season.

I suppose the other teams want to absorb all this cap...especially in future years. And player just waive their NTC, MNCs.

Thread: Nylander to NYR

IMO the Rangers aren't going to trade Georgiev till the summer if at all, till they figure out there three goalie situation.
Rangers have probably given up too much.
Don't know folks say Georgiev is a back up...he played 33 games last season and so far this season 23 games, so teams have a good body of work to analyze know his value.
IF. IF. IF he Leafs think he truly is # 1 goalie material...then a Nylander for DeAngleo and Georgiev, might be closer to a fair trade

Thread: Pietrangelo got his cup

What a massive overpayment for a Manson, a middle pair Dman at best. Just wait till off season and sign a UFA instead of giving away assets. Are the Leaf any better with this lineup? Iffy NHLer now playing 3rd liner minutes and an AHLer a regular LWer.

You're math is wrong. Just this and it's for the remaining season, Ceci is a about 300,000 cap hit more than Miller. Leafs can spend 3.875m per season than next two seasons that an out of playoffs teams press box sitter. The Ceci distain is largely not justified. So then we have CF posts trying to outdo one another with robbing Leafs with crappy trades just to exchange one bottom end RHD with another. So in that respect you have succeeded.

You're right, Leafs have cap space to make a move on moderately good Dman next season. Just trade Johnson for futures and now there is even more cap space for Dman.
I suppose we are going to see every RHD in the league traded to the Leafs on CapFriendly

Really how is Miller an upgrade over Ceci this year? Leafs have player and Kerfoot and don't need press box Miller for two years at 3.875 like the Sabres are doing now.

Rather have the Liljegren and Kapanen at 4.1m, and the pick total than one Dumba at 6m, next year Even Ceci despite all the silliness on this site is OK, and Kapanen is probably better than having just Dumba this season.

More silliness. Leafs who are razor thin at Dman depth trade two starters Ceci and Dermot for one Dumba."

Thread: Approach to Trade Deadline?

I voted "stand pat". It's not like the Leafs have the cap to acquire any meaningful players. Leafs shouldn't be trading good futures either. This season seems to "be lost" and no tinkering at TDL is gonna make much difference in this season's outcome.

Thread: Everyone signed 10 mill over the cap

Palat, Johnson and Gourde have full NTCs. They certainly have no motivation to waive. And Killorn with his M NTC, can make it difficult for Tampa to get much a return for him despite his stellar season.

Cap Hell should mean that a team has expensive pieces that would like to move but can't. Rangers, Tampa and San Jose tops the lists in cap hellishness next season. Then there is a group of about 20 teams who can't sign a UFA they might really want because there cap situation. With RFAs looking like they are making more money than in previous years, it's thrown the cap rules in the a different realm.

Thread: What Poile needs to do

Leafs aren't going to trade the cost efficient Liljegren. Believe the Leafs might have to trade Kapanen either for a Dman or cap space to obtain a Dman

Darren Dreger and others are reporting that Gorton will keep Georgiev and not trade him unless the Rangers get a player like Kapanen and a high draft pick. So you're saying Kreider is not worth a 2nd round pick ? Kreider will get a 1st round pick and a prospect from a contending team, which I question Toronto being. For the poster (Vosse9) to propose a trade of Kreider and Georgiev for Kapanen and two 2nd round picks is simply not realistic. So when you comment, "Kreider is hardly a difference maker to give up all of that." All what? A 2nd round pick? If you believe Kreider is not worth a 2nd round pick than you are a completely ignorant of his talents.</div></div>

I'm not ignorant of his talents, but Leafs believe they have adequate and good wingers, so Leafs aren't that interested in Kreider. Other holes to fill Now I don't think Rangers should even trade Georgiev till the summer at the earliest till they know how they are going to handle their three goalie situation. But don't be so naive to believe what Dreger or Gorton says to the press. If Rangers decide that Georgiev is the goalies to be traded, they will get a good offer from some team. It should may/may not be as much as what the Rangers want to leaks to the press, but if a FANatic wants to believe what his teams GM apparently says...so be it.

Yeah keep believing that when your team misses the playoffs or if Toronto does squeak into the playoffs, gets steam rolled by a bigger, stronger, tougher, team yet again. You calling a GM a moron is a complement.</div></div>

If you had followed the last two series the Leafs and Bruins, the Leafs were not steamrolled by the Bruins. Both series went 7 games. Babcock's inept coaching was a bigger reason for the defeat.
Kreider is hardly a difference maker to give up all of that.
