Trading Dermott is not wise imo.

Proly but i just set the D for next 8 years.....we have Rielly and Barrie being offensive Ds already

Now you just waste 1sts to bring in kids that will substitute Johnsson, Kapanen and Kerfoot when they will try to claim bigger contracts....

Would have to swap Kapanen and Nylander because we all know Matthews doesnt want to play with Kappy and dont blame him lol

Screw him, he and his overpayment brought to the point where Marner isnt "affordable" any more....thats his punishment

If he would fill his "blank cheque" as he should in his enormous wish to help TML in Cap crunch that came in this Off-season, so 5 x 9,5M, all this sh.t now wouldnt be stirred around....and Marner would be already signed at 5 x 8,5M

Matthews is worth his contract. I'm not really interested in beating that dead horse again

Proly you are not, agreed.

Same as many of you claimed Kadri will be Leaf for life and didnt want to hear anything about him being traded.......etcetc

I dont know what Kadri has to do with how good Matthews is, and had as much leverage as he did.

Dermott is more valuable than Wallmark not sure why you're paying the first

You just took this youthful team and made it past its prime and locked in through declining years.

Don't build through free agency. Compliment.

Signing three UFA D to term is a bad idea
