Thread: Biggest deal of the decade
Ok.

1) You're over the cap with only 12F/6D/2G.
2) Reaves has to either be rostered at his full cap hit or waived to the AHL and still adding to your cap overage. Nobody's trading for that toilet of a contract, so the usual conditional 7th from "anywhere that wants him" doesn't work either.
3) Calgary can get more moving those players individually to other teams, it's going to take more than a Grebenkin-level prospect that may or may not even come to North America to get there.
4) Calgary already has Wolf ready to go, if they're trading away Markstrom or Vladar it's to reallocate resources to forwards or D. Moving one goalie and taking two goalies back doesn't make sense for them at all.
5) Calgary has also openly stated that any Leafs trade will require a heavy overpay from Toronto because they're salty about Treliving.
6) You didn't add Samsonov to the trade.
7) "Biggest deal of the decade" is bold in a decade that included Tkachuk, Eichel, Duchene to Ottawa, Karlsson to San Jose, Weber for Subban...

Thread: Goalie change
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsGLG</b></div><div>Not really. Savard would be their best defensive defenseman and Allen is a solid goalie who can win some games when woll isn't playing. They're not giving up a ton and they're in win now mode</div></div>

Savard is 33, skates like a cruise ship, and his best years are <em>far</em> behind him.
Allen is serviceable but way overpaid for what he brings. Even at half retention he's still too much to leave the Leafs enough room for other improvements.
Knies is a non-starter.
Drop the first, drop Knies, add a B- prospect, drop Savard on Montreal's end, and you're good.

The Tanev trade doesn't make sense, you're trading your 2RD, 3RW, and a 3rd for a guy that's going to be injured again in fifteen minutes. The asking price has been reported to be a 2nd to everyone but the Leafs, with them wanting a huge overpay to deal with the Leafs because they're mad about Brad. If you already know you're going to have to overpay, just don't do the deal.
