<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevorchef</b></div><div>I would do that Arizona trade were it ever on the table. I doubt it would be.

Klingberg would be a wonderful add. Its just that the Leafs really aren't in a position to add a player of that magnitude with their cap situation and a depleted draft capital pool. At some point, you have to consider the future.


Its probably best to let someone else overspend on Klingberg. Because it will happen. I am certain of that.</div></div>

tbh with ya, I'm in the same boat when it comes to thinking about the future. Yeah, id be happy with having Klingberg, but id be more intrigued with a Scott Mayfield or a Ben Chariot, as they come at a cheaper expense, that way, we hold on to the future's. Its only a matter of time before the likes of Robertson, Amirov, Niemela and Knies joins the team

Regardless of what happens with Nick Ritchie moving forward, feel like the Leafs up to this point have given him every opportunity to establish himself and he hasn't come close to seizing it.</div></div>

He got the first shot in the Top 6 instead of Bunting. Spent time on both Matthews' and Tavares' wing.

Got some chances on the 3rd line, but he's not a fit on Kampf's wing, especially when there are two better options for that role in the bottom 6 on the roster.

And, the LW playing with Spezza and Simmonds really should have a bit of speed and puck carrying ability, or that becomes a very slow plodding trio. So, he's not a fit there either.

Sujet: when healthy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>All I was saying is what if the Leafs dont stay healthy, it'd be a minor miracle if they did (no other team has or can). My point wasn;t that the leafs were different, its just fools gold to think they are and that they'll ever be healthy, and unlike some they're closer to the cap.

I think it unlikely holl goes to minors and doesn;t get claimed?</div></div>

OK. I agree. Since the Leafs have acquired Kerfoot (with the intention to run a Johnsson - Kerfoot- Kapanen 3rd line) they have never been fully healthy. They haven't had it as bad as other teams, they've just always had at least 1 regular out of the lineup.

Holl will get claimed, they won't waive him. They'd waive Ritchie first.

IMO, if they get closer to full health (no one on LTIR) they have to start considering moving Holl or maybe Engvall. Liljegren is getting closer and closer to looking like a legit upgrade on Holl.

If they could move one or both of those guys, and acquire some cheaper depth (maybe Schenn and a retained Motte from Vancouver?) they can accumulate a bit more capspace for one more deadline deal for a decent player. If Liljegren looks good beside Muzzin, target a LW. If Liljegren looks over his head, target a RHD.

My two cents.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevorchef</b></div><div>I think you are probably right. I don't see Montreal as an "ideal" trading partner for Jack Eichel to be honest. It would likely cost more than they are prepared to offer.

Buffalo HAS to get this right, or it will set them back another ten years.</div></div>

Agreed that this is a very key move for the future of their team, that being said i have very little confidence that they will get it right especially given that all the picks and prospects they get back still have to be properly developed. I know its an unpopular opinion but if i was buffalo i will be loading up on as many assets as possible in this deal, instead of one key prospect, because there's so much that they need and you cant assume you are going to hit on all your picks even if they are first rounders.
