Thread: summer signings with Edm and NYI trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Goulet</b></div><div>Johnsson is already more valuable than Ferland and will be cheaper too as an rfa vs Ferland as a ufa. The grass isn't always greener...

There was a report out of Edmonton yesterday that they tried to get Brown from the Leafs and that Benning was the likely offer and the Leafs said no. So in theory, you're flat out giving Kadri away here.</div></div>

One on one I agree that Johnsson is better than Ferland but I think the Leafs need a player like Ferland more than Johnsson. Looking at what Domi did to Johnsson and the hits on Kadri we need someone with presence that can combat that. Leafs are lucky with all the skill they have but they need some grit. Your right about Kadri, I should have added a draft pick or prospect.

I am a Leafs fan and I know the Oilers trade is a bit one sided but it opens up the room to sign Marner long term and pick up Ferland. Looking at the next 3-4 year I think Ferland would be more valuable then Johnsson. Pulock is a solid young D who has put up back to back 30 point seasons and is cap friendly. I think we need to be clearing cap space and getting a team ready that can make a run for the cup in 20-21 and beyond even at the expense of the current team. As much as I want them to win it right now I don't think this leafs team is strong enough.
