God if this was the leafs playoff roster in the playoffs, I'd honestly be in love.

That canucks trade is garbage. The Leafs are trading the better defenceman, the better goalie, a good depth forward who happens to be great defensively and 2 picks for a more expensive Kerfoot, (who has more term and makes 1.5 more than Kerfoot does.). What a garbage trade.

Does anyone even look into anything before commenting? Schenn is a 7/8 defenceman. Halak has been not good this season and Garland is a 5 million dollar Kerfoot who scores less points and isn't as good on the PK and can't play centre.

It’s a garbage trade for the Canucks. Schenn and Holl are similar, Schenn arguably better and makes league minimum. Mrazek is a cap dump that would cost you a 1st to give the Canucks. So you don’t get a good winger with a good contract for a bottom 6 winger and a late 2nd

"AT LEAST DO THIS". What? And make a non cap compliant cap team this year and next as well as trading away necessary futures?

Garland is not a good contract. Hes basically a less versatile Kerfoot making 1.5 more and contributes less. Mrazek is going to get a lot of starts here while Campbell recovers from a rib injury. Holl plays 20 minutes a night on a playoff team while Schenn plays 16 minutes a night. They are not the same. Schenn is a 7/8 defenceman.

Garland is a good contract. He is a better player than Kerfoot and contributes at both ends of the ice. Kerfoot has more points because he plays with Tavares and Nylander. Mrazek has been awful this year and has an awful contract. He is a cap dump. Holl may be getting that ice time but Leafs fans have been complaining non stop about him. Schenn has played really well with Hughes and is signed for the league minimum next year. I’d rather keep him

Just to add. Garland is on pace for about 51 point season. Engvall about 32 point season. Is Garland worth the 3.6m difference in cap (which the Leafs can't afford) and all those futures. Leafs shouldn't be wasting cap on positions that have depth....LW and LD. Even Chychrun isn't as needed as maybe some other postion.

Keep all your assest. Mrazek has a winning record, Halak is 2-6-2. Garland is not better than Kerfoot. He's the same and offers nothing more than Kerfoot. Garland got points playing with Miller and Boeser and not much away from them. Garland is a bad contract.

It's probably not the biggest thing here, but referencing a goaltenders win/loss record to is a bogey, dude. Some of you may remember the goaltender who, for a time, held the single season wins record for the Leafs. He also posted an .894 sv%, a -22.0 GSAA, on a team that scored the 6th most goals in the NHL. Seems eerily similar to the past couple of months...

So is Mrazek better than Hellebuyck because he has a winning record but Hellebuyck doesn’t? Using a goalies win/loss to determine how good they are is an idiotic argument. Mrazek sucks and is a cap dump

https://twitter.com/jfreshhockey/status/1500605869993697283?s=21 And as you can see, Garland is a great player with a good contract. Much better than Kerfoot. If Garland had been playing with Tavares and Nylander all year like Kerfoot has he’d be close to a PPG

Mrazek has his warts but he's battled hard and has made some big saves when needed. I was worried for a bit but I am not too worried about the goaltending. Regardless of all that. Halak is old and not good anymore. Mrazek is better and hasn't even played to normal level

Why isn't he doing that in Vancouver then? Garland is a depth forward and paying a player because better players pad his stats is about as bad as one can get at cap management.

As for Mrazek, I am not calling him an all-star but Halak has been bad this year. He's done. Mrazek for all his warts still earns the W's. I would rather keep Mrazek for the season and playoffs then move him in the offseason. No matter how you slice it, this is an awful trade for TO. Zero improvement, more long term cap and it costs us futures. Terrible

Mrazek earns W’s because he’s on a much better team. The Leafs win in spite of him. No matter how you slice it, this is an awful trade for Vancouver. Downgrade significantly at F, take on more cap for no upgrade on defense, and take on a cap dump backup goalie who’s no better than Halak, just for a late 1st and 2nd

Halak sucks, schenn is the 7/8th defenceman in TO. Engvall is not 3.5 million less than Garland and then we lose a 1st and a 2nd. No thanks. Enjoy losing Boeser because your cap sucks

Mrazek sucks and has a far worse contract, Schenn is just as good as Holl and cheaper, Garland is a top 6 forward while Engvall is a 4th liner. Enjoy losing Matthews in a couple years because you can’t win a playoff series and overpaid Tavares and Marner

biggest question that maybe some Canucks fans can answer: why would I be be sending out my second line RW who drives possession and is a power play contributor, and also my RD2 who's signed this year & next for basically the league minimum, when I'm only a few points out of a playoff spot? Like, am I being crazy or is Vancouver clearly not a deadline seller? (especially not for this grab bag of downgrades)

Ah yes this nonsense. Top end players making big money is somehow bad but paying middle 6 depth forwards 5 million is good because it's less than Marner makes. There is a reason TO is going to make the playoffs and Vancouver likely not. It's not because Mrazek sucks or because Matthews Marner and JT make a lot. It's because TO has good value from all their players while Benning was bad at handing out too much money for depth guys. Myers is a #6 defenceman making 6 million. Garland is a middle 6 winger making 5 million.

I could see one of Boeser or Garland getting moved at the deadline, but only if it brings in a legit top 4 RHD. If not then they likely keep them for a playoff push
