Thread: If You ReBuild It They Will Come
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingExLeafs</b></div><div>It's a No from the Leafs.</div></div>
I think the Leafs need a player like Bertuzzi to gear up for a Cup run or to at least get out of the first round (no offense). Bertuzzi not only provides a physical, frustrating experience for the opponent but, he also has the skill necessary to compliment the very talented Leafs forwards quite well. Where do they find that at elsewhere and at what cost?


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Babatunde</b></div><div>Leafs pass, Bertuzzi doesn't get you that especially with his injuries</div></div>
Which injuries are you referring to? The broken hand that he is out for currently that will be fully healed in a couple weeks that has no implications of future injury? That one? He was unlucky twice this year, both times blocking a shot that got in between his wrist and glove, breaking his hand. He is just fine.

Thread: Deals for now
-Didn't the Flyers already give up on Myers once? I get that you take him back for the cap hit, but I think Tampa chips in more than a 5th for Braun at $1M.

-I think JVR getting a 2nd will be tough - I think a team will give up value equal to a 2nd if you retain him down to $1.75M, but Philly's splitting that value with a 3rd team.

-Probably could do a little better for absorbing Horny's cap hit, but not gonna quibble. Get an asset for eating cap, works for me.

-I get why the Avs might pass on this for cap reasons, but it's also a terrible deal for the Flyers. Hayes is still a very productive player at 30, and you're giving him up for a pending UFA in Compher, a post-hype Martin Kaut, and a B-tier prospect in Ambrosio - and on top of that, you're eating $3.6M for the next 4 seasons? Bad value for the Flyers on a useful player. If you want to move on, move him this summer when more teams might be happy taking a 3x$7.1M swing on a guy like Hayes instead of having to pay 7x$7M for whoever this summer's JT Miller or Nazem Kadri is.

Thread: Barz needs a partner - Does this trade make sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>itsstammertime91</b></div><div>thats understandable, but i dont think he's reached his peak yet. I think him and Barz would make a great pair. On the isles, he's definitely a first line player. I dont think its that risky seeing as how the Lam has shown that he thinks this is their window. Worst case scenario he puts up 50 points a year and is paid no more than a lot of other dead weight on the isles roster,, and his deal is up in 2025. Still has some trade capital because of his age if this were to fail miserably. I think its a good fit. Sure he doesnt have the work history to make anyones eyes light up, but he definitely has the talent and skill that I think would compliment Barzal nicely.</div></div>

I would rather have Wahlstrom with barzal over konecny - the scenario you described is how teams end up in a never ending cycle of mediocrity. There is no upside for the isles in this deal, konecny doesn’t put the isles over the top and they have to pay a 1st in an extremely deep draft to do it
