Thread: Marner deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Really? Are ya sure? What if it was Sanheim instead of Provy?</div></div>

Don’t think it makes much difference at all.

In this hypothetical, you’d have to assume they would be going the retool/quick rebuild route, hence why they move two top-of-the lineup players. However, I think Toronto uses the Tkachuk deal as a framework for any Marner trade and TK and Provorov are much lesser players in a vacuum than Huberdeau and Weagar were at the time of the trade. Same goes for Sanhiem. To add on Liljegren who this current management team is extremely fond of would be further impacting how little this benefits the Leafs.

I don’t think that Philly is a great prospective destination for Mitch given how much roster control Torts is supposedly going to have but if he did go that direction, I think the Leafs are looking for two contributing players as well as either draft capital or prospect capital.

From what I would guess just from previous blockbuster level deals, a deal would probably have to involve Konecny with a top prospect, as well as either another serviceable roster player on low AAV, or draft capital. A deal I think makes sense would be something like TK, Laughton and York. However, I still think Toronto comes out of that deal as the definitive loser come a few years time, especially if Mitch were to re-sign.

Thread: Preds Sell Big
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>Robertson has a non-existent resume for a 20 year old. He hasn't been able to do anything at the NHL level despite multiple opportunities. To give you an idea, he has 7 points across 31 games. Assuming an 82 game season, that would be a 19 point player and it's not like he's scoring goals either. Robertson is nothing until he shows otherwise.

As for the OP, got to imagine Ekholm's ask would start at the Muzzin comparable. A 1st, a good prospect and a lesser prospect. Probably looks something like the Leafs 2024 1st, Topi Niemala and for the lesser prospect I'd guess Nashville would want to go younger if they are selling guys like Ekholm so I'd throw out a Nick Moldenhauer. And thats before asking for 3 more seasons of retention which is probably just unworkable as far as cost goes.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsleaks123</b></div><div>Like I said I agree that Ekholms value is higher, but I’m just wondering why the hate for Robertson? How many 21 year olds have had multiple at or near PPG seasons at the AHL level in addition to dominating the OHL. Injuries suck and he hasn’t played great in the NHL yet but even this year he’s at a near 30 point pace over an 82 game season which would be great production for a kid who plays 10 minutes a night. Give him a healthy season and a real opportunity and he’s a 15 goal 35 point guy minimum with the potential to be much more.</div></div>


I'm with <a href="/users/Leafsleaks123" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Leafsleaks123</a> here. Production is actually what's in Toronto's favour when it comes to negotiating deals with Robertson, it's the injury history/risk that will be the issue. For example, Dylan Holloway with Edmonton holds good value and hes only 12 days younger than Robertson. If you compare the two's production at all levels, Robertson has been better. Mind you this is in a much smaller sample size because of the injuries, but still, my overarching point holds true. To right off Robertson as a prospect at 21 years old due to his lack of NHL production is a bit of an overreaction. If you are to argue writing him off because of the injuries, then I think you may be able to make a better case
