Thread: Lets get er done What you think gentlemen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wz92</b></div><div>Pulock making 6.1 at age 36 is not so hot of a contract to inherit. Nelson is 32 and won't be able to keep up this pace for another 2 years.

Meanwhile you get a 27 year old perennial 100 point guy, a top 3 prospect and top 40 pick, a first round 25 y/o second pairing RDA (could even grow to be a 1 pairing, albeit low chances), and a roster player who is great defensively.

The Leafs get stuck with old people contracts and are finally getting rid of them next year with Tavares' ending. Why would they want to inherit 2 more. And even if they don't why would they want to resign Nelson, he's inevitably going to want term</div></div>

I’m not worried about the back end of guys contracts. We have 4 years to win before Matthews will go play somewhere nice. After that will probably be a rebuild anyway.

Thread: Lie to me and tell me this D core isnt sick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SharkTank</b></div><div>I disagree.

Woll hasn't proven he can stay healthy.

He looks good when he actually plays but you can't count on him to play.

Arvidsson missed most of last season.

What are you getting with him?

You're basically replacing Bert with Nino.

Team is basically rearranging deck chairs on the playoff Titanic.</div></div>

Good points👍.
My thinking,
Woll- Got Ned to tandem with who has been putting up good numbers the past few years. We also have Hildeby and a quality G prospect in the KHLbwho should be ready to get some games if someone gets hurt.

Arvidsson- yes he missed most of last year but man he was noticeably in playoffs (and that’s what we need) high energy guy that can add a scoring touch to the middle 6. Plus we have Cowan, Minten, Steeves ready in the wings incase of injury.

Nino/Bert - honestly I’d be happy with either one but Nino is locked up at 4M for the next 3 years whereas Bert may want more?

Thread: Marner-less Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mauston_atthews</b></div><div>I’ve proposed this exact trade on this website and I think it’s the best value trade for both teams. Seattle needs that high end talent and the leafs need offensive depth as well as right shot defence, and this is a great way to spread that marner money around and address those issues at the same time. The problem lies with Seattle. This is arguably their best forward and their third best defenceman. I think they should go for it though because they’re getting a guy who has almost scored 100 pts twice, which is more than anyone on Seattle has ever scored by a long shot. I know, playoffs, but it just hasn’t worked in Toronto. The guy has the talent and perhaps in a different situation he flourishes. I hope he does, but it has not worked here. I wonder if Seattle would ask for more, just due to how low his value is right now and his cap hit, but in my opinion this is perfect for the leafs.</div></div>

Thank you for the comment and agree 100%. We get a D group looking similar to this and I think we will be ok

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tmljk22</b></div><div>Value sort of makes sense if built on the framework of the Tkachuk deal with obviously lesser assets being the return. Don't know if Marner waives without a big extension agreed upon though. Bertuzzi also gets more in the open market, so does Nedeljkovic (which I wouldn't bite on).</div></div>

Don’t like Ned as a back up? Can give Bert more as we still have 5+M under the cap but can’t justify giving him more than Domi
