Sujet: Ekholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hidalgo</b></div><div>I was thinking that, definitely a fair point. I just think Ekholm gives them the strongest defence in the division and is huge insurance if one of their top guys gets hurt. And I think Jenner would be a big upgrade on Kerfoot especially at that position. He's a bigger and more physical guy that is more suited for a depth role.</div></div>

I get what you are saying and it definitely would be one hell of a defense but the question is is it worth it? What if the Leafs don't make it out of the North? What if the 4th line proves too be too slow to keep up with the likes of Montreal or Edmonton or Winnipeg? The Leafs goal tending has suffered a lot of lost man games this year what if something happens and Freddie and Campbell goes down just before the playoffs? I just think there are other areas of the Leafs I would be more concerned with than the LD.

Sujet: Tavares
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>That's a worse team</div></div>

the contract made sense at the time

they had leading scorer JVR, 3C bozak and top 9 grinder komarov leaving in UFA, they had to fill the leadership gap, the scoring gap and the centre depth. JT fixed all that and insulated them against injury when matthews got hurt, marleau declined and nylander didn't play for half the year. they prob would've missed the playoffs if they didn't sign JT. If that happens, do they trade for muzzin, or do they simply tank? The team would regress hard

year 2 likely would've been worse, with no major expendable asset to trade for a dman, (this assumes they also got muzzin which they may not have), they likely keep hainsey around.

it's a long depressing rabbit hole that likely would've screwed the team over for years to come

tavares was the absolute best move they could've done in 18-19

Sujet: The only TYPES of Marner or Nylander trades that make sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hidalgo</b></div><div>I think thats just one of those moves that doesn't make sense for either team. Toronto would want Winnipeg to add because they're giving up the better player, Winnipeg would want Toronto to add because Laine probably is more worthy of his cap hit. I think teams are going to start shying away from 1 for 1 star trades, and it'll be more multi player deals that are relatively equal in cap and address each teams need. For example, something like.

Laine, Demelo, Roslovic for Marner, Holl, Kerfoot, 3rd. Idk if the value is fair there but thats just kinda a guess based on needs.</div></div>

Even then it wouldn't make much sense for the leafs to trade a natural-born playmaker for another goal-scorer when we have AM and JT. Laine just wouldnt be a good fit.
