Quoting: palhal
Again the obsession that other team spare parts and so much better than the Leafs starters.
Made a few adjustments on the thread:
Originally I had a hard time deciding between keeping Freddie or putting eggs in a Campbell / Hill tandem
Went ahead and signed Pietrangelo and aquired a 1st in 2020
I will admit a lot of my posts are unfinished products (call it thinking out loud) main goal is get some constructive criticism feedback (I do not have the time nor the energy or frankly give a crap to study up on what prospect is good or not good or what prospect depth a certain organization has or doesn't)
Now I'll stick up for myself a little: Arizona trade - Dvorak is the yotes 1/2 C and in TO he is a top line LW who can play 2 C in case of injury (Matthews has generally missed 15/20 games a season) Adin Hill is very good little goalie prospect who put up pretty good numbers on a middle of the pack team for 13 Games last season he's 22 (We do not have a goalie prospect that can actually play NHL games) I've added Connor Garland - tote fans will scream It's too much for Nylander
CBJ - I believe Wennberg is a better C than Kerfoot Wennberg is over paid by a million could use a change of scenery and same Josh Anderson who has the ability and has potted 25 goals in a season yes he's had a total crap year ( I remember this other player once who last season had a horrendous season and wasn't worth a 2nd rnd pick but hey he turned it around (Nylander)
Islanders trade: Islanders fans won't like it and TBH it's probably not enough - I could honestly say I'd part with Liljegren for Mayfield+ and be just fine with it - Mayfield is very effective for his AAV can play up and down the right side and now there is a little more time for the Leafs to draft and develop the next D core
