Anaheim has no use for Six Million Dollar Man Matt Murray, Pat Verbeek doesn't like small brittle forwards, and that third would be the seventh pick for us in next June's draft, so nothing in that package would even tempt us to consider it for free.

Who cares if it’s your first or your 20th pick. If the value is fair then do it

The value isn't close to being fair because the third and the other two pieces are meaningless to us.

Your idea that a third-round pick means the same to Anaheim as it does to Toronto is really uninformed.

The value isn't fair. A 3rd and a injury riddled prospect doesn't even cover the cost to dump Murray - if it did he'd be off the Leafs already. And you have a player and a 4th coming back to Leafs? That pretty much makes the cost to dump Murray almost nothing. This trade is terrible for Anaheim unless Murray was a need, which he isn't as long as Gibson is there.

Hawks decline as well. Can't see them trading away a 1st for Lilypad. No knock on him, but the Hawks aren't at a point yet where they are spending 1st rounders on rostered players.

COL will just keep Toews.

Come on he is offering the Leaf magic trifeca of Iron Man Murry, LTIRobertson and 3rd. that combo can get any asset in the league. Zegras, Carlson and Gibson Retained is the equal value

I like that nickname - LTIRobertson. Well done!

Not the point of my post.

Anaheim could really use more picks. That’s a fact. Why not load up and be able to move up?

I don’t care if the trade isn’t fair. Saying they don’t need a 3rd is dumb.

I didn't say that Anaheim doesn't need a third. I said that adding a third to what Anaheim already has isn't valuable to Anaheim in any significant way.

Your conviction that nothing has context is contrary to both experience and common sense. Everything in life has context.

To think for even a moment that a 2025 second-round draft pick has the same value to Arizona, which already has four of them, as it does to Toronto, which doesn't have a second in any one of the next three drafts, is clearly as erroneous as believing that William Nylander has the same value to, say, Caroliina or Colorado as he has to Anaheim or Chicago, and your inability to understand that indisputable reality is startling.
