Sujet: VAN deal for a run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kster34</b></div><div>Major overpay for Horvat:
1/ he’s a rental
2/ every team interested would offer late 1st rounder, that’s how the league works
3/ Robertson &amp; Niemela are 2 of our top 5 prospects
4/ Kerfoot aded to make $ balance, i’m assuming - he’s far from a cap dump
5/ prefer Holl to Schenn any day so just delete them from package


Leafs would be crazy to offer this for Horvat, who’d be 3C and on 2PP. There’s no precedent for this type of return for a player like Horvat. If a team wants to out bid this, feel free - smh</div></div>

So I think this is what it would take to get a 27 yr old C who can score, penalty kill and be the best 3rd line C in the league. It is a lot to give up and the leafs would need to think that they could resign him if they went this route. I think the biggest need is a proper 3rd line C for this team. I like Schenn more than Holl b/c he provides more hitting, grit and toughness.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Kinda crazy for the Leafs to trade the effective Holl for Fabbro right now, and then to add another RHD Hollowell also. And to include Robertson, who if not a regular this year should be next year as the Leafs have three UFAs LWers this summer. And even now, Knies is not a given to be a Leafs this year (or ever)
Gotta think the Hawks will get more for Domi.</div></div>

My take on this is that Holl is gone this offseason no matter what and has been very inconsistent this year. Yes, he plays a lot of minutes right now but that is due to the Top 3 D being injured currently and is not a Top 4 D in my opinion. On any team he should slot in as a 5 or 6 and can penalty kill. I would rather have Sandin and Liljegren getting the 5th and 6th D slots. I think Fabbro has more upside, I like the team control and can see him as a Top 4 on the Leafs. I think the Leafs will give Robertson a shot until the trade deadline and see how he responds. If he grabs the opportunity, then it makes it less likely they will trade him. Knies has been eyeing an oppertunity after the college season and I believe the Leafs are higher on him than Robertson. He has more physicality and Jam to his game where as Robertson is smaller and plays a skilled game, which the Leafs have enough of right now. I personally only like a few D men out there for the Leafs prior to the deadline (Gavrikov, Dumba and Fabbro). I think there main need is a Right-handed D and Fabbro's cap hit, acquisition cost and upside win it for me in my eyes. We shall see ...

As far as the Domi deal - Maybe the Leafs 2024 2nd and Malgin or Abruzzese gets it done.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>First, Fabbro isn't one of the aging Dmen so let's try to stay on point, shall we?

Second, you'd be crazy to decline that as Fabbro has exponentially more value than Holl who will begin to crash and burn shortly as he's outplaying his abilities and that will run out.

Third, you're a troll if you honestly believe you'd be better off taking the side of the trade with lower value (Yes, I'm referring to the Holl/Roni side as the rest of us can clearly see how lopsided this trade proposal is in TOR's favour).</div></div>

So Hirvonen isn't a bad prospect and I don't think this trade is extremely lopsided. I think there is a framework to get a deal done there. Maybe the leafs up the offer to Robertson and Holl.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-a single Roni Hirvonen isn't gonna make up the difference between Holl &amp; Fabbro in Nashville's eyes. Just the fact that Fabbro's 6 years younger and should have 2 more years of team control makes him more valuable to Nashville than pending UFA Holl. I think Nashville wouldn't necessarily hang up on you here, but they're gonna want more to close the deal.

-I wonder if Chicago would think about this. Kerfoot isn't super valuable to them, but I think Abruzzese &amp; a 3rd would be in the ballpark for Domi fully retained, so this is just saving them a retention slot for someone else. I don't know if this is the deal, but it feels close. But on the Toronto side - is the difference between Kerfoot &amp; Domi's production going to be worth a prospect &amp; a 3rd to you?</div></div>

So the reason why I like Domi better than Kerf is that he can actually play C , win draws and they have a need in that 3rd line slot. Kerf has proven he is a bottom six winger and they have replaced him already with Jarnkrok for cheaper. I like Domi's aggressive play in between the whistles and he sticks up for his teammates. He is perfectly casts as a playoff upgrade for them over Kerf. I could also see the Leafs resign him to a contract should he perform well.
