We basically already have Ovi in Matthews. Why trade 5+ more years of Marner for 2-3 years of Ovi? How long do you think it takes before Marner becomes the better player? Two years max imo. This is just horrible asset management.

Why would WSH do this!?
Ovi's got like 10 more years of scoring 50 goals per year!!
Deep down you know it's true..

Why on earth would Ottawa trade Drake Batherson?

Ottawa fans have lost it over batherson for the 8th overall pick so....

They wouldn't. The package would need to be a 1st+.

My bad for the Batherson Deal, I’ll change it, I had 0 idea he was worth that much,

Ovie will sign as an free agent to play with McDavid and the Oilers....just so their fans and Gretzky can watch him capture the NHL goal record in Edmonton....ha!!!

Johnny Bucyk was the greatest 35+ year old goal scorer ever...he scored 244 goals AFTER his 35th bday!!!

Those fans are idiots.

Ovie actually wants to play with the Leafs as loves their young firewagon stars and has on numerous occasions has publicly offered words of encouragement to the Leafs young players.

I wouldnt even trade Dermott for Ovi.

The Leafs have no use for Ovi as they already have Matthews and Tavares who are both elite goal scorers (and Nylander isnt too far behind) what they need is defense. Dermott is an excellent defensive defenseman with tons of potential. Ovi plays 0 defense and is due for a hard drop off.

Did I mention Mitch Marner (who is already miles ahead of Ovi) and a 1st rounder are attatched.

This is is just horrible asset management. I would expect Kyle Dubas fired mere seconds after this trade goes through, it it isnt vetoed.

imagine saying you have no use for the best goal scorer in nhl history and then calling william nylander, who has scored over 22 goals once, an elite goal scorer.

I'm hoping you're just being difficult

I'm responding to someone who used those exact words and said they wouldn't trade dermott for Ovechkin

He doesnt fit the team. Hes not getting any younger, hes gonna be on an expiring contract. Dermott is still very young, hes got tons of room for improvement. Hes good defensively, which is exactly what the Leafs need.

No, I wouldn't trade Marner for Ovechkin

Good for you.

You responded to me responding to a person saying toronto had no use for Ovechkin and that they wouldn't trade dermott for him.

Yet you keep trying to argue with me about things I didnt say. Address what I actually said or leave me alone

Oh I understand my bad
