Thread: Change of scenery
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>As a Habs fan, yes without the retention. I'd throw in a 3rd or 4th rd pick to make up the difference instead.

MTL needs to start opening their retention slots to get more flexibility to make other moves. So if VAN want MTL to retain, let's say $750k per year for 3 years, that roughly $2.25mil total which should be worth around a 3rd or 4th rd pick instead.

So counter offer:

VAN gets: Anderson + 3rd

MTL gets: Mikheyev


Anderson is probably the more talented, physical player. but it's almost a wash imo (Mikheyev probably more defensively responsible (maybe?)) But if Mikheyev and Anderson both can't turn things around, Mikheyev is easier to bury, and his contract ends sooner.</div></div>

The only reasons mik wasn't scratched is because he's good defensively

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DealFinder67</b></div><div>A top RHD and 2C for Marner and Minten may turn out to be a 3rd line C at best? I don’t think they are are getting rinsed. Lol</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
