<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Affectionate_Side_64</b></div><div>Savard is good though, especially in the areas we need to address. We also know what type of players Rielly pairs best with and Savard is that. Anderson is not super overpaid at all; you could argue he's overpaid based on his current production, but he also has incredible value as a physical forechecker with great speed and finishing ability, a skillset that I think would make him look great on this team, especially in the playoffs. Monahan is great both ways and always has been, he's an ideal 3C with the potential to play further up the lineup.

This team is undoubtedly better IMO, and we'd only be spending assets that are very questionable to be game changers come playoff time, in a year where I feel we have our best shot at winning a cup. Appreciate the feedback, but we'll need to agree to disagree I think.</div></div>

Anderson is 29 and on his 8th NHL season. He should NOT be paid on potential. He is what he is. He has cracked 20 goals twice and 35 points once.

He is a 15-20 goal/30-35 point physical winger who is good on the forecheck. That is an average 3rd line winger. That's worth maybe 3 million.

That's ignoring he is scoring like a 4th liner this season.

He's super overpaid

That last one is weird.

Savard is not good. He does give us a different look we can use but he's a third pairing defenseman. We're stuck with him for 2 years
Anderson is super overpaid and signed for term. I would like him without his contract again to get a physical middle six forward with decent hands. But otherwise he's bottom 6. Given his contract I'd consider him negative value. Others may pay for him with retention for his style of play, not me.
I'd like Monahan as a pick up for 3 c. But he is likely more of an offensive 3c then defensive one. Still beggars cant be choosers. He'll likely get a 2nd. But hard to say given his history

In exchange your trading
Sammy negative value but pending Ufa
Robertson: why? He's young with offensive upside. And cheap.
Timmins: 3rd pairing or #7 defenseman but young and cheap. Not much value but useful
Jarnkrok: has more value to the Leafs than to others as he is significantly better than his contract. He is no world beater but he's a good middle six player who can play any position and paid under 3 mil
And a 2nd and depth picks

So weird...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Why? We did this last season and it very quickly sorted itself out. It truly is astounding to me how many people in this world go about their days forgetting about yesterday and acting like there is no tomorrow. I appreciate living in the now but you won't know where you are going without knowing where you came from and you certainly aren't going to get far if you have no plans for tomorrow.</div></div>

They decided to do 11/7 as a coaching decision while having other players. That is a massive difference. If the leafs can only have 11/7 on their team due to cap issues, with no way to accrue cap over time (can't accrue cap while on LTIR), then the GM really messed up. **** happens and IFthe GM ended up in this situation because of unforseen events, so be it. But here he came in at the draft and controlled free agency where HE created a cap situation where he is a couple hundred K shy of having a 21st player and thus can't have a normal 12 forward and 6 defenseman on his roster, then he messed up. He couldn't have convinced a few players to take a 1-2% pay cut so we aren't in this situation? Was he that short sighted? And for a new guy on the job its a fairly large mess up that does not build confidence.

Gregor is not "not that much of a downgrade", or in other words he IS that much of a downgrade

Offense
Jarnkrok:
10 or more goals every year since 2015/2016 and a career high 20 last year
Career high 39 pts last year and averages about half a point per game
Averaged over an 82 game season, he scores 16 goals and 36 pts

Gregor
26 goals total in his career of 178 games, career high 10 last year
Career high 23 points 2 years ago, 17 last year maybe 0.3 ppg
Averaged over an 82 game season, he scores 12 goals and 23 pts

Other:
Jarnkrok
Can play C (did so mostly early in his career, not much recently)
Is still quite good in the dot
Is good defensively (not elite, but good, can be the responsible guy on a sheltered scoring line)
Is not particularly physical

Gregor
cannot play C
Is terrible defensively
Is physical


So essentially Gregor is exactly what you would expect from a 25 year old signing a PTO in September: he is a borderline NHLer. He comes with one improvement over Jarnkrok (Gregor is more physical). Otherwise he is significantly worse in every way. Jarnkrok is frankly a bargain. He is middle six forward who can complement skilled players and score when in that situation (but can't drive his own offense), and can play all three forward positions and be defensively responsible. He can be put anywhere in the line up and be useful. He does that for 2.1 million.
