Thread: Will Nashville sell with Askarov in the pipeline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>If NSH wants to truly bottom out and tank properly, then yeah trading Saros would be smart. His play is what's keeping NSH a mediocre team right now. With just a league average goalie, they'd be a bottom feeder right now.

This package isn't the haul for NSH you think it is though. The Leafs don't have the futures to get a Saros trade done. Their 1st is going to be too far back in the draft (presumably with a top 3 goalie, TOR can make it out of the first round this year), and they don't have a top prospect to offer.</div></div>

a future top 4 defencemen and a future top 9 winger, and a late first wouldn't get it done? i admit, I wouldn't know what an elite goalie would cost in a trade as there arent many comparables

Thread: What if we kept Hyman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GladeBang12</b></div><div>Considering the production we're getting out of Bunting for his contract, I think it's safe to say it was the right move to let Hyman walk. I think you're also forgetting the cap situation at the time and the pressure to find a new goalie. Also, why are we talking about acquiring Chychrun for Knies? We should be talking about trading Rielly before giving him that awful contract and then replacing him with Chychrun.</div></div>

I think we could sign bunting and hyman. Chychrun was just an idea, I do agree that 7.5 for Reilly isn’t what I want to pay him considering how the rest of our roster is constructed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>I don't think there are very many teams that want to lock up a retention slot for 5 years, that will come at a premium due to duration alone.

Honestly with "reports" that Hughes has turned down large offers, and the overall consensus that Anderson is an oversized paperweight, I just can't see him being moved for another 2-3 seasons unless it's something we can't say no to.

I just can't see him moving anywhere at this point, the sell point and buy point are just too far apart.</div></div>

Makes sense, if nobodies offering too much for him, then it makes more sense for Anderson to stick around and play out his contract anyways until his value increases, or he helps the team in some way

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>he can only skate in a straight line, his agility is none existant and he spends half his time on the ice on his ass because of it. And 90% of his hits are well after the puck is gone and done do anything to actually effect the play at all.
He's not a corner grinder, he's not good in front of the net and he'd be a terrible fit with marner and tavares. He's John Mitchell with a better shot. and if you add a terrible defender to a good defensive team they become a weak spot. He's a horrible fit for the leafs, and any contender.</div></div>

I guess we just see different players then. He’s streaky, injury prone , doesn’t have great hands or hockey iq, but he’s a hard working, physical forechecker with a mean streak who can lay the body and lead the leafs in hits. He looked great for Montreal at times in their finals run, and I think more production will come with JT and Marner.
