<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>poeticentropy</b></div><div>Sorry for not explaining, just have been seeing this trade spammed a lot on here and people ignoring SJ fan responses to it.

The value is completely off. Moving from 36OA pick to 28OA pick does not get anywhere close to taking on Murray's big contract and his injury issues, coupled with the deal not really doing anything for SJ's needs which are getting more futures while they go through a rebuild.
You'd be paying SJ to take on Murray with next to nothing going back the other way, and it's irrelevant because SJ is so terrible I would bet it's on Murray's no trade list.</div></div>

I don't think the value is that far off. Mrazek deal was similar and Murray is better.
Maybe its not a great fit for San Jose ( they need a goalie though )

I could see a team in the 34-40 range wanting to take a chance on Murray as their back up if they have plenty of cap space and leverage that into moving up in the draft

Sujet: Reversing all the horrible moves Kyle Dubas made as Leafs GM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Newtown</b></div><div>The problem I have with this is that Dubas was handed the core of Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, and Reilly. He has not added anything to that core but has subtracted Kadri. He had Anderson as a goalie and downgraded in net. He has traded multiple first round picks to get out of bad deals and for rentals. Those picks could have been used to add core players.

He’s. kid that was gifted the keys to a Ferrari and is learning on the job. He should have added to the core by now but has not. He lost on contracts to Matthews, Marner and Nylander which has handcuffed the organization and caused the loss of players like Hyman. Lucky kid to be handed a core that has matured and cn compete with the best the NHL has to offer.</div></div>

Thats one perspective.
Here's another:

- He worked diligently to keep the core together despite tons of pressure to trade them one of them.
- Marner/Matthews/Nylander are all now underpaid relative to their current performance
- He moved Kadri because of disciplinary issues and he was the 3rd line C at the time. We didn't need a 4.5m dollar 3C with disciplinary issues.
- Andersen wasn't delivering. I'd argue Samsonov &amp; Woll is a better goalie situation especially considering cost.
- Bunting was a HUGE pick up
- Drafted really well with late picks
- Gio, Mccabe, ROR, Acciari, Schenn all great adds.
- Every move that was neutral or negative could be rationalized with sound logic.

Sujet: (TOR/WSH) - Sandin for Gustafsson, 1st (BOS)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>Toronto - Gets a PP merchant but a terrible 5 on 5 defender if he's CHI/WSH quality Gus. Depth D if he's not. Either way, he's a downgrade on Sandin. 1st round pick is nice, but likely to be at the end of the draft.


Washington- Gets a very good top 4 defender that's only 22 and poised to become a top pairing defender. Has control and they're selling very high on Gus. 1st round pick is quality, but not when you're getting someone like Sandin.

Think this is an easy win for Washington</div></div>

I agree with everything you just said, and I'm not saying you said this, but its funny how for SO long everybody called Sandin a 3rd pair D, when he is very obviously a capable top 4 guy.
As soon as he gets traded from the Leafs, I instantly see someone (you) say he is a legit top 4 guy.
haha funny how that works
