Quoting: tkecanuck341
I didn't say that he's not good enough to be protected. The Kings have Doughty, Walker, and Roy to protect, all of which are more important to the Kings than Clague right now. if Iafallo doesn't re-sign (he most likely will), then the Kings will probably go 4-4-1 instead of 7-3-1, and Clague would be the extra defenseman that is protected. However, if Iafallo does re-sign, then the Kings have too many forwards to protect and can't afford to protect a 4th defenseman, which would make Clague a no-brainer for Seattle to take.
Stop basing your player comparisons on numbers on a spreadsheet and actually watch a game. Quick has been really good this year. He got shelled a couple times this year (once against Minnesota and another time against Vegas) because the defense decided not to show up those games, but aside from that, he has been fantastic.
Idk what to say but you are delusional. No one agrees with you, regardless of what team they cheer for.
1. The leafs are not trading their top prospect
2. Leafs don’t want clague they can’t protect him from the expansion draft
3. Quick is not much of an upgrade on Andersen. Stop bringing up win percentage it is a terrible stat to judge goalies. Andersen has a better win percentage than quick anyway
4. Quick is worse and more expensive than Campbell who the leafs traded a second round pick for last offseason
This trade is terrible. You can post it again and start a poll every single person will tell you this trade is terrible for the leafs.
