Sujet: Fair Trade or Not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lafleur10</b></div><div>Not fair from Toronto's perspective. Reinbacher and the 1st are the big pieces from the trade, Reinbacher is going to be good but is still just a prospect for now, and even without him that first is *Hopefully* going to be around 12th-16th overall, not great value back for Marner. Other than that a solid bottom 4D and two decent B prospects don't bring the value close enough for Marner.</div></div>

I would at least consider this from a TO perspective... Maybe the 24 1st instead of the 26 one (top 2 protected in case MTL wins the lottery, then becomes an unprotected 25 1st...), Reinbacher's a steady RHD that the Leafs could use, and it helps their prospect pool...

Farrell's a solid prospect, Harris could be flipped and Kidney's a nice long shot...

Allows TO to sign Bert and Domi and have 4+ mill in remaining cap space remaining from the Marner contract...

I can see the logic behind the trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BadaBing</b></div><div>He has been averaging 11.49 minutes in February. Not star quality minutes. He should be playing 20 min per game for his stature. There is an issue between coach and player. If it continues something will give. A perfect opportunity for a change of scenery either for the player or the coach. He has 59 shots on goal in 41 games. That is less than 2 SOG per game and 16 pts in 41 games. Not great stats for a supposed Star player. Stats don't lie that the issue is with the player</div></div>

There are only so many minutes to go around. He’s not going to get first line minutes on a team with Johnny Gaudreau playing the same position, and the reuinited Russian line is now the best line on the team. He’s twenty-one and built like a flagpole. There’s nothing wrong with easing him into the league with less minutes.

The constant criticism of Columbus is how they rush and ruin everyone, but when they actually pace a player correctly, it’s also a mistake.

Sujet: 3 way trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BadaBing</b></div><div>Flames paid a 1st rd to take Monahan's contract. This trade is worth about $6M in Cap. A 2nd and a 4th is a bargain. Penguins get 3x 1st. rounders, a heavy price for Guentzel. Penguins get 3 pieces for a rebuild</div></div>

Except come the deadline neither of those players are owed their full-fat cap hits for the season. Foegele is owed approximately $616k and should Montreal be doing the actual 50% retention on Guentzel, another $672k for that. The reality of the dollars owed is (with a lot of rounding in your favour) $1.3M.

Using Monahan's contract as a comparable (seeing that's your preference), that sort of retention should only cost about 20% of the first round pick that Calgary paid Montreal. Most draft pick values would suggest that for the Flames' pick currently being ninth overall, Edmonton would owe Montreal a late second. OP actually overpaid here.
