Thread: need a goalie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Middleton is a #5 at the very worst, but it's more correct to say he's a low-end #4. He's absolutely not a a #6. And that defense he's currently on, and has been playing in the top-4 in, until this year, had been a top-ten defense in the league for the last decade. Most teams in the league wish they had a Middleton.

Fun fact: Middleton has not played outside the top-four since breaking into the NHL at age 25. And has been playing against opposing teams top-lines ever since then.

His regular D-partners since coming into the league have been.

1) Brent Burns
2) Erik Karlsson
3) Jared Spurgeon
4) Brock Faber

But, he's going to play on other teams 3rd pairings as their #6. Right, sure, whatever you say to make your excuse fly.</div></div>

Easy to play a top 4 role on a defense that has no one on the left, his only competition in SJ was Vlasic who hasn't been relevant in almost 7 yrs and the only one he is competing with in MIN is Brodin otherwise both teams defense are garbage. MIN had Bogosian playing in the top 4 most of the season for crying out loud lol

There is not a single playoff team that Middleton would play higher than the third pairing on thats just a fact.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Far worse players have gone for a lot more than what you are paying to get JT at 50%. Beyond the fact that they aren't going to alienate the team by forcing the captain out, if JT was moved he would garner massive interest and would be a huge rental many teams would want especially at 50% retained. This is silly</div></div>

Thats what we all thought about Tarasenko as well but he got shipped out for only a 3rd and 4th with 50% retained making his cap hit only 2.5m. Players with NMC's have all the power when it comes to trades the teams have very little and a team like TOR who will NEED to move on from JT or Marner wont have a lot of leverage when it boils down to it. Ultimately you gotta ask yourself, is it more harmful to lose JT or Marner? I'd say it hurts the team more to lose Marner but that's just my opinion.
