Sujet: We need some top 6 help ASAP
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsFan</b></div><div>2021 draft:
-Boucher: 2 pts in 13 GP (NCAA)
-Ostapchuk: 4 pts in 11 GP (WHL)
-Roger: 3 pts in 18 GP (OHL)
-Johansson: 14 pts in 14 GP (SWE U20--&amp; 0 in 7 SHL GP)
-Latimer: 8 pts in 18 GP (WHL)
-Romeo: 3 pts in 16 GP (OHL)

Do you trust their drafting tho?</div></div>

Well last years draft was questionable even in a Sens fans eyes:

2020 Draft
Tim Stutzle
Jake Sanderson UND - 11GP 15 PTS as a defenceman
Ridly Greig WHL - 13GP 19 PTS
Roby Jarventie BEL - 18GP 10 PTS as an 18-19 year old
Tyler Kleven UND - 13GP 5 PTS Defensive D-man
Egor Sokolov BEL - 46GP 33 PTS - Led league in goals last year.


2019 Draft
Lassi Thomson OTT - 5GP 3 PTS
Shane Pinto OTT - 17 GP 8 PTS Hoby Baker finalist Draft +1
Mads Sogaard BEL - 12-3 record across the last 2 years
Viktor Lodin SHL - 14GP 11 PTS

I'm sure I'm leaving some out but their record hasn't been too bad.

Sujet: Reversing every horrible trade that was ever made by Pierre Dorion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>After looking at the two Brassard trades in a vacuum more closely, this is how Ottawa did:


Mika Zibanejad
Vincent Dunn
33rd overall pick for 2018
64th overall pick for 2018

for

Derick Brassard's contributions to the Ottawa Senators between July, 2016 and February, 2018
Ian Cole
Filip Gustavsson
22nd overall pick for 2018
83rd overall pick for 2019
194th overall pick for 2018


I would say Pierre Dorion made up for the Zibanejad trade, at least somewhat.


But, you're absolutely right.


I'll erase the Zibanejad trade :)</div></div>

I was looking at the trades earlier and saw Vincent Dunn.... had to look a little deeper, that's not Vince Dunn of the Kraken haha.

But, yeah, I like Z, and wasn't a huge fan of the trade at the time but I think it worked out for both teams.

Sujet: This team still needs a top pick and a trade for a top 6F
Of the selection I'd prefer Naz, Giroux, Voracek or Boeser.

Not sure Voracek is available as the BJ's just traded for him.

Giroux could be had in the summer as a FA but I have a feeling he'll want to play on a contender to try and win a cup before he hangs them up.

I'm not sure Naz would want to play in Canada again after the abuse he took in Toronto and he'll be looking for a massive pay day if he keeps tearing it up.

This leaves Boeser. He fits the timeline a bit better being only 24. He went to UND like seemingly every other player on the team. My worry would be the ask, and what his next contract would look like. It would have to be picks and prospects, possibly Brannstrom or White. As for a contract, it's tough as he hasn't played a full season yet whether it be because of injuries or COVID so it's hard to say. He's a potential 30G scorer, 60 pt guy. What are those worth, 7-8M, more, idk?

Another interesting player if Van is tearing it down would be Horvat. He's a bit older than Boeser, similar point totals per year, a good leader, plays a heavier game than Boeser and is is a centre. He'll be a UFA after next season so if there were a trade in the summer for him I would have to have it come with an extension.

Sujet: Are the Leafs built for playoff hockey and lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ZachHymanForTheHart</b></div><div>- Bunting does his job well.
- Kerfoot has been one of the hardest working players on the team.
- Ritchie is confused, I agree lol
- that not great defence has been a top 5 defence in the league this year.</div></div>

So you are saying Bunting is a 1st line player?

Also, just because you work hard doesn't make you good at hockey.

I didn't say either of these players were bad players, I simply stated that in the OPs configuration of the lines, those two individuals are penciled in above their ability.

The OP asked a question, "Are the Leafs built for playoff hockey?". Name me a team in recent memory that has won the Stanley Cup without a Norris caliber defenceman. Hedman, Hedman, Petro, Carlson, Letang, Letang, Keith, Doughty, Keith, Doughty, Chara etc. I stand by my point, the Leafs defence are good, not great.

Sujet: Brannstrom
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Mete can RD on the 3rd pair too, giving a bit more time for JBD to be 100% ready. But if Thomson is 100% ready, next year could look like this :

Chabot - Thomson
Sanderson - Zub
?????? - Mete/JBD


I would like making that deal, it's a pretty decent proposal but I'm kinda worried that Petry is also falling off a cliff. Guy is going on 34 y/o. 3 more years at 6.25 after this season could be hard.

However since Zaitsev is going the other way, it makes it very manageable.

Dorion's call! (even if it'd be preferrable if someone else was making that call lol)</div></div>


I'm liking those pairings for next season. Hopefully Lassi can sustain the play over the course of the season, he's looked good so far in the few games he's played.

I have the same concerns with Petry. It would be nice to rid ourselves of Zaitsev's contract but not at the expense of another boat anchor. In addition, Petry has 3 years left, 7M of signing bonuses left to pay and 20M in total salary. Zaitsev has 2 years left, 4M in SB and 9M in salary. Zaitsev is the worse player but I would like to think there will be a way of getting rid of him without taking on an equally bad contract.

As for dealing Brannstrom, my confidence in him and his ability to become a quality NHLer is fading. We were sold a bill of goods when he came over from Vegas that I don't think he will ever live up to. We are in the situation where we either roll with him, keep him and hope he reaches his potential with us or deal him now because if he doesn't pan out after this year, I see his value going the way of Logan Brown.
