What'd you guys think of these trades?

The marner deal is atrocious...

his Marner trades are always atrocious, this is not the first time

The jokes from this guy!!

The Marner deal is WAY off

I know I usually don't say anything but I had to this time

Me: looks at the signings, "perfect"

Me: Looks at the first 2 trades, very very good

Me: This is a pretty good thread

Me: Looks at the Marner trade "NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

Why is pitt getting a first too?

Could you explain to me why it’s a bad trade? Maybe the Leafs don’t want to give up such a high pick? I feel the value is pretty close.

Rust for Marner with retention. Pettersson for the 1st.

Rust is 28, kinda going all in on a, to this point in time, fluke season

It's not close, Petterson is probably an average defender maybe a TINY bit better than average, rust did have a good season but it may just be a flash in the pan type thing he is to much of an uncertain when talking about trading for a superstar like marner and then there is the retention which is a no no and we give up a first. It's wrong on a few levels

If you had this nice shiny ripe apple and fresh banana would you trade for two apples that may have a bruise or two?

You're underrating the value of Marner.
He is a superstar. You can't replace players like that.

Rust is a good player, but also just had a career year. Historically is a 3rd liner or a fringe 2nd liner.

A better analogy might be: Would you rather have a Lambo or a really nice mountain bike and an electric scooter?

And he's back! The disrespect Mitch Marner robot has returned

Rielly is better than Ekblad.

No you don't, you are a robot, you don't feel anything.

Lol I was trying to make it super simple

Literally just scared my dog that's how hard I laughed

Yeah but as long as he plays alongside an elite center man, he’ll keep that production up until his 30s. He’s also a really clutch player, always shows up in big games. At 3.5 Million it’s a steal.

i think the arguement is that you could get more for Marner, but im not going to complain about it

What are you using to base the opinion that Pettersson is average? I watch him pretty consistently & he seems like a solid top 4 defender. Just a really smart player who uses his reach to get good body positioning over the attacker and anticipates the play well. His stats were really good as well.

Rust will score a point per game if he’s playing with an elite center. He is fast and forecheck aggressively. A beast in the playoffs. Leafs need those type of guys.

Thanks for the feedback.

Lol Rust for Marner, retention or not, is the biggest joke I've ever heard.

I guess you could, but personally I just really like this return.
