While I think your are overly critical of much of the value here. I will say this is all needless nonsense that doesn't make TO better and changing 4 roster players with 10 games to play would more than likely back fire since who knows how players react to the new system. This is all dumb
Yes, youre reight, I was overly critical, but the Philly trade is diabolical. And it doesn;t really even think about what PHI wants/needs.
and way too many trades list a bunch of never-weres, newver-will bes as value. In this Leaf example, these guys like Brooks, Rosen have pretty much no value (same with marincin) but mean the other team loses another contract space, and presenting guys like Barbanov and Engvall as value is pretty false as well. Sometimes you get the right guy in the right spot, but engvall, barabanov are AHL/NHL tweeners (like MTL's Weal) who every team has a handful of these guys, but they don;t move the barometer in trades for value.
Its the same names over and over, with this false belief that they are not who they are, or that teams will trade value for players who have less, its Jeremy Bracco-itis....
