Thread: Why Bertuzzi wont be a Leaf
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>I think if a trade gets done that Toronto keeps Robertson, Sandin and amirov.
My ideal trade would look something like this
Liljegren, Abramov, Mikheyev and a first.
Yes I know you said mikheyev isn't part of the future, it's more of a way to make the money work for Toronto and to fill a hole in the middle six this year that bertuzzi would leave until prospects are ready.</div></div>

I think it would make more sense to sign Bertuzzi for 4 years, and then trade him once the prospects are ready, or just keep him, he is only 26 if he slides down the depth chart in 2 years he'll probably be a 3rd liner when the guys above him are still on ELCs so his 4-4.5 cap hit won't be a big deal.
Also Abramov was another guy I wanted to mention, he plays center so he would have to compete with Larkin, Veleno, and Berggren, if one moves to the wing then his best case scenario would probably be 3rd line center

Thread: 3 first lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ZachHymanForTheHart</b></div><div>I completely disagree.

While it may give the ‘3rd line’ an advantage, it also makes the top two lines substantially weaker (especially that 2nd line)

I understand that these guys get paid to score points, but they will score a ton more points by playing with each other.

Matthews and Marner were electric all year. The chemistry they have is undeniable. Splitting that up would be a mistake.

Maybe forming a Nylander, Matthews, Marner line is something that could be looked into (and is something I want to see), but splitting the big 4 into 3 separate lines just isn’t the way to go.</div></div>

That's fair this is just a thought I had, just feel like Tampa the past two years and the blues before that won the cup with great depth amd having Matthes/Marner and Tavares/Nylander together gives Toronto a weak 3rd line. Also didn't expect these players exactly to make the team just putting it out there to see people's thoughts on it
