Some Analytical Moves

What'd you guys think of my addition of Sheary and Weegar?

Weeger won’t be traded he just resigned. Toronto should’ve traded Dermott+Johnsson for weeger rather than signing Brodie IMO

I have my doubts about these anaylitical darling defensemen like Weegar and Demelo who even the analytically invested teams seem to be passing on. Fans seem to have much higher opinions of them than the pros do.

You would need more to acquire Weegar.

option A:
weegar $3.25M for 3 years

option B:
brodie $5M for 4 years
anderson $750K for 3 years
Dermott $875K for 1 year (presumably more years beyond this)

I would prefer option B personally. Weegar, despite leafs nation hype, has 1 exceptional season, 1 meh season, and 1 pretty solid season. He'll also be 27 once the season starts back up, so he's not exactly got more of a ceiling to grow. I would love to have weegar, but Dermott is still young, and I really like Joey Anderson and will be curious to see how he works his way into the lineup

basically, the leafs didn't wanna move dermott. And I agree, if he can manage to play the right side this season and become a budget nate schmidt as he enters his prime, that's some serious homegrown value for the leafs
