The leafs don't do that trade now, then or in 1000 years when the space aliens with a time machine point a death ray at Toronto

Are you able to go a day without Marners sack bouncing off your chin? Instead of creating absurd trades, make them somewhat realistic

I think the Leafs would’ve accepted the trade at the time because they needed young elite defensemen & Pouliot was one of the best at the time.

No, they wouldn't have. Not even close. Like they wouldn't even consider considering it. You know when people day "the leafs would laugh and hang up"? But they're just exaggerating to make a point? The leafs would have literally howled with laughter until the pens hung up embarrassed

Then why not just draft Hanifin instead?

No he wasn't. And they wouldn't. They wanted to pick forward with that pick.

You’re not processing the trade rationally. Obviously it wouldn’t work if the trade were to happen now since both guys going to Toronto became busts, but at the time, it would’ve made sense. An elite defenceman & promising young Forward with top 6 potential. It would’ve been a deal the Leafs couldn’t resist since they gained more pieces for their rebuild.

The Leafs already had Kadri, Nylander, Kapanen, Bracco, Brown & Engvall at the Forward position for the future. They were going to get another elite Forward (Matthews) in 2016 anyway. It would’ve made much more sense for them to go after a defenceman, since they only had Rielly who had an elite ceiling. Not to mention they would’ve got Bennett in this trade too so add to their talent up front.

That’s what they could’ve done, but why not do this trade in which you get a top 6 winger as well?

Bennett was a 4th liner and Pouliot is failed prospect who wouldnt touch NHL with Leafs. Leafs wanted a forward in 2015 Draft.

Bennett was a top 6 talent & he should’ve got more opportunities in PIT but Bylsma never gave the young players any opportunity. Pouliot had elite potential. It was reported that Babcock & the coaching staff wanted Hanifin but Lamariello wanted Marner.

Lamoriello wasnt even in Leafs organization when draft happened.. Shanahan wanted forward, Babcock wanted Hanifin, and two co-GMs in Hunter and Dubas wanted forward.

Well, my mistake then. But my point is, the Leafs would've been in a better position right now if they developed an elite defenceman rather than Marner.

marner had to much potential and that trade would have made the Rask one childs play. The fact people passed on him and he was taken 4th was perfect for the leafs (thanks arizona for taking strome). From playing with JVR and Bozak, Marner developed into an amazing RW who now can achieve 100 point seasons when healthy. He can lead a pp, can pk, and can skate like a rocket when needed, basically the ideal playmaking center. That trade would have been seen as one of the worst in NHL history as both those guys today are older and in the AHL.

Cool, but which elite defenceman are they getting? Because pouliot isnt and never has been one. You're acting like hes hedman and not chris tanev 2.0

Pouliot in 2015 was one of the D best prospects in the league. Leafs wanted him for Kessel but pens wouldn’t move him. They probably wouldn’t have traded him for marner, but leafs had serious interest in him.

so, right, the Leafs wouldnt have traded him for Marner in a million years. That's the entire point. And the Leafs wanted Pouliot as part of a package for Kessel, not as the main course with a side of Beau Bennett.

I agree. Not for marner, but you’re seriously underrating Pouliots value back in 2015. He held a ton of value

im not under rating him at all, i've not said a negative word about him. He was a fine prospect back then, and he's ok now. He's just not in any conversation around a player like Marner

I mean he stinks now but ur right probably not for Marner. I think a prospect swap involving Nylander and Him would've been fair back in the day, but not marner
