Thread: What about this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Zaitsev has been at the very least, the second best defenceman on the Leafs this year. He's limited turnovers and has played a very smart simple game. Why is everyone trading him for defenceman who aren't an upgrade for him? On top of that, no other upgrades to the defence are being made. So essentially everyone seems to be taking the best right handed defenceman Toronto has who is a very serviceable middle pair guy for players who aren't a clear upgrade over him and still leaves TO with Hainsey on the top pair. That doesn't fix anything. You still have Hainsey playing and you also have Gardiner playing on his off side where he'll likely commit more turnovers than he already gets.</div></div>

every article I read says zaitsev is brutal with the puck

Thread: MTL gets their #1 center (if the caps start sucking wind)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrianMacLeonsis</b></div><div>Can’t agree with y’all on this one being a caps fan. We’ve seen the greatness from Backstrom for so many years. And so has bergevin I’m sure. I definitely think he’d take Backstrom for just Pacioretty and Juulsen. If it’s not pacioretty it’s drouin and Juulsen and a 1st</div></div>

No one is questioning Backstrom's value/skill. Montreal fans are just ready for a rebuild, and we are missing far more than just a #1 center. We know we don't have the prospects/picks to save this current situation, and hope our GM sees the writing on the wall. Otherwise we are set back years after all our trade value diminishes or leaves for nothing. Pacioretty to Caps could still happen, we just want youth/picks in return.
