<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fran615</b></div><div>Just my own personal take...
Habs are really only focused on getting FORWARDS that can provide SIGNIFICANT offense.
Their biggest lack, by far.
With Mailloux and Reinbacher closing in on the RD side, I think it's not the best idea to throw in Barron AND a 1st round pick AND a 3rd to get antoher RD and with a big contract. Esecpailly on an 8-year deal after his bad playoff performance.

And Kakko is a very mid player. Already 5 full seasons and 300 games, he looks more and more like a bottom-6. The "2nd overall pick" tag is fading quickly.
He doesn't bring SIGNIFICANT offense. And for that price, might as well wait and create a bundle to get proven significant scoring, instead of mid.

Just my own, humble, personal opinion.
I might be wrong.
No abuse needed.
Cheers everyone</div></div>
I do agree with that, however I’m not sure if that offensive star is available to them this summer, that’s why I think signed Marchesault and taking a flyer on Kakko could be worthwhile. Getting Hronek would make the team better and make Mailloux expandable for trade, just my opinion

Thread: Trade idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Value in the trade is def in Canes favor but they don't really need futures at all.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>Your assertion is correct, you could lower Necas price by taking KK…but do you also think this is the best offer the Canes will get. It sounds like there could be 12-15 teams in on Necas.

I’m sure all 5 assets included from MTL are good players, but who makes an impact on the Canes roster in the next 3-5 years. You’ve basically given the Canes two maybe defenseman and 3 lottery tickets.</div></div>
I thought that this type of trade may be of interest for the Canes to take it then potentially flip the picks/prospects for assets to help win now. The young D could help with so many expiring on Carolina

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RobbStark003</b></div><div>Marner's regular season isn't in question, its every single playoffs. What team is paying full price for a player that has a reputation of not being able to live up to his $11M contract when it matters the most? Also, he is UFA in 1 year, he could be traded and take off next summer.

Toronto badly needs defensemen. Matheson has emerged as a great offensive defenseman. Savard is one of the most respected shutdown defensemen in the league.

Not exactly "give him away" when you address weaknesses and deal a player with major issues.</div></div>
It just seems like a quantity vs quality trade which in my opinion is a bad idea when trading a star. No doubt he hasn’t showed up when it matters, absolutely. But I would give him a look under Berube first and not just move him for assets of lesser value.
