His defensive play is a lot better this year under Keefe but its definitely not his strong suit. And I think its two opinions going back and forth here, I like his promise and his progression but you can't project him as a top pair guy in the NHL. I don't know what we're arguing here, I agree that he's been really good in the Marlies and his game is progressing and he's making strides with better decisions and less high-risk plays but that is the knock on his game. Here's an article with video's showing it after the first 18 months.

Rookie mistakes sure and progressing well to eliminate them, but nonetheless still has been his downfall and you saw a few shifts with bad giveaways and bad decisions in the last playoff series too even though he's been very good for us overall in the playoffs. You're not showing well here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Okay you aren't showing well here. Liljegren had mono in his draft year. He has never had a serious leg injury. Also being a top blueliner in the AHL at 20 could absolutely translate to big minutes at the NHL level. He was drafted with the hopes of being a top offensive defenceman but so far he's developed into a smooth skating defensively sound puck mover. He could absolutely still become an offensive force, especially with the big clubs skill but if he's a smart defensive guy who can skate the puck out of trouble and get the puck safely to the skilled forwards, that is pretty much all you need for Rielly's partner.</div></div>

My bad it was mono his draft year, I got it mixed up because he missed a handful of games with a high ankle sprain this season and it has been his second one since he's been drafted which raised concerns. "Not showing well" lol because I, off the top of my head, got something mixed up... c'mon now.

I stated above that he's a promising prospect and projected a 3-6 dman with upside. His decision making and high-risk plays is his downfall which raises concerns at the NHL level. I agree with what your saying, but you can't say he's a top 2 dman because he'd look good paired with Reilly. I'm high on him but I really don't see him becoming a top 2 dman. He's like a RH Gardiner (which seriously, I'd be thrilled if he turned into).

Sujet: Fitting in Marner by trading Kadri
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yanp007</b></div><div>OK, your name is Mitch Marner, since 3 years, you played almost every game of your team, on ice, since 2 years you look better than Matthews, this year it was an evidence, your defense game is better than Matthews... so why do you accept least than Matthews??? Remember, you are in the Marner's skin....</div></div>

There are so many other variables that contributes to a value of contract. "Looking better" is definitely not something they consider. Position, potential, goal-scoring ability, leadership, statistics all play a part. Ability to play on the PK and produce that many points (with consideration of playing with Tavares) will contribute to the salary he will get which will be compared to other players around the league at his position. I estimate 10m give or take 500k with correlation to term given.

Sujet: Isles Leafs Blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tydini11</b></div><div>"Hahahahaha suckers!!!" says Kyle Dubas after committing one of the worst robberies in Canadian history</div></div>

I'd say Leafs take it but its not as lob sided as your suggesting. Nylander could easily return to form and be a 65-75 point player with even more upside. Dobson, of course a very promising blue chip prospect is still a risk of not panning out. This trade could easily go the other way and be one of the worst trades for the leafs if Kadri also puts up 20+ goals next year and Dobson doesn't pan out. Then it'd be Mayfield (more of a bottom 4 RHD) and clutterbuck for Kadri and Nylander.

In terms of value, the Leafs are on the better receiving side but are taking the most risk IMO.

Sujet: Trades with leafs and wild Fair value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgmilazz</b></div><div>I wouldn't sweeten the pot for Kap beyond Mayfield. If I am Lou I would sit and wait to see how the Leafs situation plays out. If you guys are having a real hard time signing Mitch Dubas might just bite due to Mayfields contract. I think this deal could work but it would have to be out of necessity from Dubas.

Question for you, how would you rank Kapanen, Johnsson, Nylander?</div></div>

I definitely wouldn't blame you on holding off and possibly getting a better bargain but I wouldn't with Isles defensive depth.. that trade could be a steal for them especially with Mayfield's value/performance possibly inflated playing in Trotz's system.

I think you gotta go based on potential and the fact that Nylander has 2 60+ point seasons. From a Leafs perspective his value will never be as low as it is now. He's killing it in World's right now which may show that his poor productiveness was circumstantial based.

1) Nylander (By a big margin)
2) Kapanen (Slightly more valuable based on offensive upside)
3) Johnsson

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgmilazz</b></div><div>Mayfield is certainly not a world beater but he is very capable defense man especially in his own zone. What makes him attractive to the leafs would be his handedness and amazing contract. I'm not sure if I would give him up straight up for Kap either but I think that's what would make a good trade if we both don't like it.</div></div>

I'm not saying it was a bad proposal or we wouldn't be interested. If i were Dubas I would hold off on that trade and would only do it if:

1) Were not able to talk Marner down and need to shed salary stat.
2) We're unable to package kap or johnsson for a better dman.
3) It's Kap for Mayfield +4th minimum.

If we could fit everyone under the cap and thats the only deal on the table I'd pass since Kap could come back to bite us with his talent. Would you bite on the counter offer if you were Isles?

Sujet: Will Floridia and Leafs make these trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMTD</b></div><div>Betterall is very methodical, he knows that Ferland had a career year and I would be shocked if he signed or traded for any marquis UFA's or players. O'Reilly stated he was not a leader and Betterall accommodated him and it appears got Montour indirectly. Kane IMO never fit into the Buffalo culture, but that is general observation. I think Betterall sees Olofsson and Thompson (see GM_leafs81 comment regarding Thompson) as second line wingers and Pilut as the 3rd LHD (no one is commenting but he may have injured very early after his call up). Reading Kruger's resume, he appears to be a motivator and I think most people would agree that was the biggest problem with Buffalo last year.

OK, as a Sabres' fan, I do not want to trade Thompson.

First, did you watch the Marlies on TV or live.
Second, I am adding you to my very short list of trusted ADGM contributors.
Third, I would do your trade. Bogosian and Zaitsev are unwanted by the teams respective fans but as you correctly observed they both can play, just not up to the fans expectations. Buffalo would be getting Kapanen who has demonstrated NHL caliper performance while the Leafs would be getting one of Buffalo's best prospects. I am old enough to remember Ray - Hannan - Presley. Ray allowed Hannan to play dirty and Presley would get the stretch passes from Hannan. Kapanen would fit perfectly with Girgenson and Larsson. They dig the pucks out of the corners and send Kapanen flying down the wing.
Fourth, maybe taking the Bruins to seven games means a little luck and Toronto would be a game away from the finals.</div></div>

I just watched it on TV. Good to hear lol.

Pleasure doin business with ya.
