<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Toronto_Hockey</b></div><div>You have to think about his fit onto Philly's lineup, you throw a puck moving centre in between Robertson and Tippett and that is line that presents an opportunity to score as soon as they get over the blue. Youth, Speed and Deadly Shots...

I am with you though that Danny may want a bit more! Higher pick or maybe a name like Nick Abruzzese (Toronto AHL) to go along with Robertson.</div></div>

I think you overestimate robertson, but also abrueze who at best looks like a bottom 6 and probably not that. Its also about whether the flyers need a small winger, when they have a ton of wingers already the same age.

Do you really think robertson or abrueze is ahead of: frost, cates, farabee, koneckny, tippett, brink, foerster, gautheir, or even atkinson, deslauriers, and the bunch of midlevel, but having good years prospects at forward they already have?

You are the buyer for something PHI isnt giving away, the price is quality.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Toronto_Hockey</b></div><div>Winnipeg and Toronto are in similar boats in terms of their core, failed playoff appearances. Your going to lose the Marner trade irregardless of the return on paper...
I don't know how much more Toronto can expect in return for 16, we've just seen that clearly a 100pt guy isn't required to win (Chandler Stephenson VGK 65in81). I think teams are slowly moving away from the production aspect and more the playoff / intangibles factor.
Just my take!</div></div>

Very well stated. You're a Leafs fan? Wow. Impressive. Most Leafs fans seem to think that Marner is beyond every player on the Jets combined.

VGK has definitely proved again, that it's a team game that battling gamers need to play, not just great point producing players.
