Outside prospective. But Marner is EXACTLY the type of player Ottawa should be swinging for.

For as good as Brady is, he's only a All-star level player. He's better served as the team's #2 then face of the franchise.

Stutzle is still young, and he absolutely has the potential to become that franchise 1C Ottawa drafted him to be, but he's going to need a much better winger next to him than Brady to elevate him into that next phase of his development. Marner, despite his playoff warts, is that level of player. He's already what you all hoped Debrincat would be in Ottawa.

With all due respect to Batherson and Giroux, they're not capable of doing this for Stutzle. Marner can. He'd be the best piece Ottawa could hope to get their hands on to further Stutzle's development into that 1C.

Ottawa should do this trade in a heartbeat. That said, maybe swap out Chychrun for Norris, if it's that big an issue though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BackstromIsTheGoat</b></div><div>After reading all your comments it sounds like you're actually serious about this which is hilarious.
Strome has been a 60+ pts guy in WSH
Dowd is a top10 defensive center in the NHL, he plays 15mins a night and had the most o-zone draws in the league before his injury.
Jarnkrok and Liljegren and "not playoff performers." Liljegren is still young so he has positive value, but Jarnkrok is old. What exactly does he add to the Caps team?
Kampf is a cap dump, hes "worthless" and a "replacement level AHL player"
And a 1st is nice

So in sum the trade in terms of positive and negative values looks something like

To TOR
+++++ ++++
To WSH
- - + - - - - - +++

Why would the Caps do that?</div></div>

Woah woah woah….. Dowd? Top 10 defensive centre?! I think you may be a bit bias here.

In no particular order:
Barkov
Crosby
Pettersson
Matthews
Aho
Danault
Eriksson Ek
Larkin
Couturier
Cirelli
Point
Lindholm
Kopitar
O’Reilly
Staal

… that’s just off the top of my head. &amp; that’s only 15 guys in like 20 seconds. Dowd is not a top 10 defensive centre. Probably not even a top 30 defensive centre.

Did u not look at CGY Dcore?

Gudbranson would be no where near the top 4

CGY top 4 Dcore under Brad was either

Gio-Brodie
Hanifin-Andersson

Gio-Tanev
Hanifin-Andersson

Hanifin-Andersson
Kylington-Tanev

Weegar-Andersson
Hanifin-Tanev


So where did Gudbranson get into the top 4 here lul?


When he was in CGY he played third pair


Brad rn has the foundation around Rielly and McCabe on the left. If we use the CGY basis Demelo and either Roy and Pesce are the targets


And the TDL guys arent a good basis for what Brad really wanted. It was way before

We know Brad wanted Zadorov + Tanev from CGY back in NOV could not get the deal done so went for cheaper options. Edmundson has playoff experience and since MTL was already retaining he knew he could get him and add. Boosh became a target due to his history with TOR and past pairing with MO.


I dont think either is back

Rn this is the Dcore for next season with ? for holes

Rielly-?
McCabe-?
Benoit-Liligren (rfa probs extended)
Timmins

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingExLeafs</b></div><div>I remember making trades for him a year and a half ago. Probably over 10. He's exactly what the Leafs need and the Blues are not a contender so I think both sides should be able to find a deal that'll benefit both.</div></div>

So you've been making them for about 18 months, and this AGM here is the sum of all you've learned in that time? Really?

Nobody gives a rat's fat ass what the Leafs need, I hate to break it to you. All teams have their own plans (except apparently San Jose). And if this is the best you can offer, you're just a glutton for punishment.

The offer, like clockwork, is laughable garbage. You've even had multiple Leafs fans telling you this on multiple AGMs. I'm also fairly certain you've made far more valuable offers for Parayko than this embarrassment before now. So everyone tells you no 100 times and explains exactly why 20 times (because gosh who wants to keep repeating the same thing over and over to a brick wall?), and your chosen path is to play hardball. Becaaaaause... what? That's ever worked before?

The Leafs are not getting Parayko. It's not happening. You cannot wish it into existence. Let it go already. Break your chains. Be free. Acceptance is the only way forward.
