Sujet: Dont do much please
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Not sure what world you live in, but you also asked for Kap with retention in this trade. I have no idea how much of that offer you figure Sunny would cost. But again, he's not going anywhere unless he asks to. Dude loves the Blues, loves STL, his lady is there, he owns his home there, and he rejected several considerably larger offers to return there for 1 x minimum. And for that minimum, he provides a lot of experience, and a lot of necessary services, and can even play up the lineup in a pinch. Which every contender will crave at the TDL. Because he makes nothing.

Just look around the AGMs here. Damn near every playoff team has 2-3 Sunny AGMs per day. Some teams have more like 8-10 a day. If he goes up, he will be among the most popular players. Again, because he offers a lot for minimum AAV. Nobody is saying he's an all-star, dude.</div></div>

I never said he’s an All star or thought u were saying he was one. But again for a team the is barley in the playoffs and will probably have to play the avs or some other really good team in the first round ( if u make it) why not go the sunny and say hey we love u and want u back in the summer but we think we can get something for u this year and trade him.

Now for value again

Kappy is a 3rd
Retaining is a late pick like a 7th

Sunny literally got traded with the same stats last year for a 4th

So a 4th and a prospect would probably be enough.

Just cause lots of team want a play the doesn’t automatically mean he goes for a 2nd. GMs aren’t dumb a 4th line centre rental is not worth that much. He’s good at the cost but the impact he makes when he’s on the ice for 12minutes is comparable to other players the teams could get for the same price.

At max he goes for a 3rd but I doubt it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>Leafs aren’t majorly downgrading on lily and no the pick doesn’t make it worth while, I don’t see a world we’re the leafs land tanev and flames decline anyways, leafs pass on Nashville not likely to spend the first this year and definitely not on those players plus kampf doesn’t likely waive</div></div>

Lilly does less than what seeler would do. At least seeler is a good PKer. I don’t get why people say don’t trade Lilly, what exactly does he do so amazing that he just can’t be moved cause from what I see Benoit has passed him on the depth chart. IMO he’s gunna become a Dermot so get rid of him ASAP.

They may not get him but boy dose Brad want him bad so I think he makes it happen. Calgary say they want a second plus a prospect well there u go, maybe the prospect isn’t good enough but he can be swapped out for someone else if need be.

Why wouldn’t Kampf waive, he would end up making more money cause of the taxes and might even play more. The leafs over paid to keep him here so I don’t think he love Toronto so much he would never leave.
Also scissons is a solid 3C that’s good defensively and if the caps want a 1st for Dowd I’m sure scissons would go for about the same, and in the deal the leafs get a big 4th liner and get off Kampf in the future. Win win win

Sujet: top 4 money
Honestly I think the best idea for the leaf is wait until free agency and sign Willy and extend Mitch to matching 11.25 million dollar contracts on the same day July 1st

Mitch might be worth more but I honestly believe he has learned from his mistake with his last contract. He pressed the leafs for as much money as he could get and honestly been over payed for years now considering comparable wingers like Rantanen and tkachuk make 9.5.
He got a lot of hate from his home town and I think taking not much of a raise would help his image in Toronto.

With John I definitely think he’ll be smart and sign a long term low AAV to retire as a leaf. If he took and 7year 3mil contract he would be loved. Massive cap relief for the team but John still gets big bucks with a front loaded bonus structure and when he’s too old just slap him on LTIR and the cap hit won’t affect the team. Would be the best thing for his legacy in toronto

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I'm not really a fan of so many "silly" TDL moves. They have make difference to the buying teams fortunes 95% of the time Maybe I just jaded due to Dubas trading away so many futures for one playoff round win.
You're right about the Leafs having few NHL prospects (thanks Dubas). Most teams need some young players on cheap ELCs playing above their contract to make the team cap work. Leafs have two, Knies and Robertson.
Going into tonight's game, the Leafs were fifth overall in the league, despite all the doom and gloom. So, i hope Trevling doesn't wants to turn the Leafs into the 27th place Flames or the his Flames that made the playoffs 50% of the time.</div></div>

For sure.
It definitely makes me nervous knowing he’ll have some cap in the offseason. I just hope he makes smart moves on players that are for sure useful or 1 year deals so they aren’t locked in.

There’s a big chance for him in the next couple year to make a true cup contender but who knows what he does

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>You may be right. But his record as Flames GM, one playoff round win and four non playoff appearances. Maybe bigger isn't better.</div></div>

The problem is they don’t have enough pick or prospects to get players that would really make a difference.
He’s always had very defensive teams. Good D core and 2 way centres but that’s not what he has so I’m sure he doesn’t even love the team right now.

He’s made some bad signings but honestly his trades were pretty decent. The tkachuk trade was looked on as really good when he made it but messed up by signing the players after. He should’ve let it play out so hopefully he learned.

The main thing is he’s finally in a place where players want to come and stay unlike Calgary.

I think to really judge him we need to see the team after the deadline and to start next season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Why are un love Larsson? Maybe you're right above Timmins and Larsson but I think you're going by past reputation. Larsson isn't worth playing all that well to give all that Right now Timmins is playing well and actually playing in the top 4.

Really you've trading Timmins and demoted Giordano just to insert Risto and Larsson....and giving a first, Niemela, Holmberg, Steeves and Samsonov too.
So you don't like Timmins in the playoffs with the Leafs. Great, let's go with Risto who has never played an NHL playoff game.</div></div>

Well I would definitely rather have the guy who is big and physical that has played 700 games and then the bandaid who can’t get through 20 games without getting hurt and who send pizzas up the middle once a game.

I saw dermot lose us a series doing that garbage don’t need to see another young hopeless Dman do it
