<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dominot</b></div><div>I don't agree with the first two posters.
Leafs get fleeced so hard.
Spending 1st, 3rd, 5th in addition for 4th liners is terrible asset management when Toronto can acquire those through free agency.
Even is Muzzin's play has declined, he's not that bad to be dumped at that cost.</div></div>

If you notice, after this the Leafs have a full roster, with Sandin signed, and $3.5 million in cap space. They can acquire another player who is not just a 4th liner. Don't forget, there are several teams who will need to move a player before the season starts just to get cap compliant, the Leafs could make a trade like this one, except they would be on the other side, where they could say " Yeah, we'll take that guy off your hands, but it will cost you." They could even recoup some of the draft capital that they are giving away here.

Sujet: center depth for the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>At the cost of a guy who's more highly rated than any center prospect in your system? No thanks.

Take a look at the 2017 draft. Fewer than half of the 30 skaters taken in that first round have made any impression at the NHL level three seasons later. That means that there's a 50% chance the guy taken with your 2021 first-round pick won't make the NHL until 2024-2025 (f ever). We expect Thomas to be in the NHL in 2021-2022.</div></div>

I'm not sure of how LA would rank their center depth, but I would assume that Thomas is behind Byfield, Kupari and Turcotte at least, and maybe Vilardi as well. If you would rather substitute one of them, fine, because you are definitely correct about Toronto's prospects at center.
