no

Avs will counter and offer a 6th for Lafferty.

LOVE that we want to bring another Robidas in to visit the island. Here for it.

Sold

Is Justin the mayor of Robidas Island?

Nah his dad is still mayor. He's a comptroller right now. Respectable work if you can get it

Yes

The value of Lafferty here is very far off.

Not sure what the Leafs would get for him given their current cap situation but I know with 100% certainty the Blackhawks had numerous teams offering a 2nd last year.

He is top 3 in the league in PK zone entries. He forchecks very well (comparable to Sam Bennett) and is solid defensively 5v5.

All this to say he could have much for value than a 4th, a 6th is a joke.

More importantly he likely brings skills that the Leafs can't afford to use, he also makes little sense for a team like Colorado who have some great PK guys already. (maybe to them him value is just a 4th).

So #1 Leafs are highly unlikely to trade Lafferty, not as simple as Reaves for Lafferty, none of their new acquisitions (Klingberg, Domi, Bertuzzi, Reaves) can play on the PK.

#2 if they did expect them to get a 3rd minimum unless they need to move him to be cap compliant then a 4th or later might happen. This would be horrible asset management given the price to acquire him just 6 months ago.

Canes have Offensive RHDs. This trade doesn’t do anything for them

Yup, agree with all of this. As an Avs fan I don't value Lafferty much above a 5th just because of the role he would play for us. I'd frankly rather sign Heinen to a cheap deal.

Just stop the Pesce to Toronto nonsense. It’s not happening.

Stop with the ‘Stop the Peace to Toronto none sense, it’s not happening’, it’s getting played out

I have to say Robertson Domi and Kessel would be maybe the worst defensive line in history?

I don’t see how Kessel fits on almost any team.

I agree Pesce would be perfect but the Canes…according to the fan above will not let him go.

Why does no one have Benoit in the Lineup? Cheap and gritty…

Nothing here entices the Canes to give up Pesce. Both players are good but are downgrades from Pesce and not worth losing him over.

It’s been played out for the last 5 years. I think enough is enough.

Don’t think pesce comes that cheap

Oh no, that horse just isn't dead enough so gotta keep beating it don't ya know... 😆
