<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div>I was under the impression that Drouin was being shopped / in trade rumors at some point recently?
And that people have started souring on him because he's a softy / doesn't try very hard on defense?

I guess that's not true?

I've been operating under the assumption that Domi is more valuable to Montreal than Drouin is.</div></div>

It's just speculation. MB is sealed tight when it comes to trading players. Most of the time the media just says **** for attention. There haven't been any solid rumors where he's being shopped.
His play this year is completely different than years past, he's playing both sides of the puck and has really changed his game around.

Domi is worth more than Drouin henced why Nylander is retained with Domi and not Drouin. Domi is almost guaranteed to make more than Drouin on his next contract which should even the value out a little bit more.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div><strong>Point taken ... but since you singled out that trade ... I assume you're OK with the rest? </strong>


Like the Arizona trade:

To Toronto = <strong>Barrett Hayton </strong>(2018 5th overall) + <strong>Victor Soderstrom </strong>(2019 11th overall)
To Arizona = <strong>Fred Gauthier</strong> (a fourth line center) + <strong>Mac Hollowell </strong>(a 4th round pick)

And the Carolina trade:

To Toronto = <strong>Brett Pesce </strong>($1,000,000 retained) + <strong>1st round pick</strong>
To Carolina = <strong>Alex Kerfoot</strong> (a third line center) + <strong>6th round pick</strong>

And the Winnipeg trade:

To Toronto = <strong>Josh Morrissey </strong>(#1D signed for 8 years) + <strong>Kyle Connor </strong>(#1 LW with $3,100,000 retained)
To Winnipeg = <strong>Jake Muzzin </strong>(a pending UFA defender) + <strong>Kaspari Kapanen </strong>(a poor mans Kyle Connor)

And the Vancouver trade:

To Toronto = <strong>2nd round pick</strong> + <strong>4th round pick</strong>
To Van City = <strong>Ken Agostino</strong> + <strong>Jason Spezza</strong> (two veteran press boxers)

<strong>Are you catching my drift good sir? </strong></div></div>

Reading those trades, I imagine you are trolling? I don't want to beat on you if you are lol.

Sujet: A Simple Solution for the Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div><strong>YOU THA MAN!</strong>

But I will add ... that the Canucks are currently paying:

$3,000,000 x 3 years = <strong>Luongo </strong>(recapture penalty)
$1,000,000 x 2 years = <strong>Spooner </strong>(buyout penalty)
$6,000,000 x 3 years = <strong>Eriksson</strong> (worth $1,000,000)
$3,000,000 x 3 years = <strong>Beagle</strong> (worth $1,000,000)
$3,000,000 x 3 years = <strong>Roussel</strong> (worth $1,000,000)
$3,400,000 x 2 years = <strong>Baertschi</strong> (worth $1,000,000)
$6,000,000 x 5 years = <strong>Myers</strong> (worth $3,000,000)
$4,400,000 x 2 years = <strong>Sutter</strong> (worth $2,000,000)

For a multi-year loss of about <strong>$21,000,000</strong> in cap space.</div></div>

Yea it's bad over here too. The only one on that list I would contest is Myers as performed well as a top pairing defenseman so far. He and Edler were statistically a top 10 pairing in the league last time I checked. Whether he can maintain that or not remains to be seen. Roussel has also been very good in the games he's played. Eriksson and Sutter are the worst on that list. Ferland also looked bad before his injury.

Whole lot of garbage, but probably easier to sort out. We could waive pretty much anyone on that list and it wouldn't make a noticeable difference.

Sujet: (CHI/DET) - Perlini for Regula
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div><strong>So Regula is a PPG player in the OHL ....</strong>

<strong>Rookie Year</strong> (16 years old) = 53 GP / 5 PTS = <strong>0.09 PPG</strong>
<strong>Draft Year</strong> (17 years old) = 71 GP / 25 PTS = <strong>0.35 PPG</strong>
<strong>Draft + 1</strong> (18 years old) = 77 GP / 45 PTS = <strong>0.58 PPG</strong>
<strong>Draft + 2</strong> (19 years old) = 10 GP / 10 PTS = <strong>1.00 PPG</strong>

Does 10 points as an over-aged and over-sized defensemen make you a point per game player overnight?

He's playing on the London Knights with <strong>Ryan Merkley</strong>, <strong>Liam Foudy</strong> and <strong>Connor McMichael</strong> ... against kids.

Those guys are creating the offense not Regula.</div></div>

I think the previous post was missing the point a bit. I agree with you about the PPG stats. They really aren't that impressive. With that said...would it be the worst thing that he's not the one getting the points??? That's not why the Hawks traded for him. Even more to your point...He's played opposite of Bouchard, then Boqvist, now Merkley. How lucky can 1 guy get?!?! At this stage I'm not sure whether this is a positive or negative. He's still been getting the top pair roles 3 years running. He's still been getting a ton of impact minutes. The Hawks need another big man on the back end in their system. worth the risk, no?

***EDIT*** The knights did lose more talent than they gained though. Bouchard, Boqvist, Formenton all lost. Merkley added.

Sujet: New York Rangers signed Anthony Deangelo (1 Year / $925,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div><strong>Yeah</strong> ... I guess it would be pretty simple if all of the following ends up true:

<strong>Kakko </strong>is a good 1st line winger next year
<strong>Chytil </strong>is a good 2nd line center next year
<strong>Andersson </strong>is a good 3rd line center next year
<strong>Kravstov </strong>is a good 3rd line winger next year
<strong>Lemieux </strong>is a good 3rd line winger next year

<strong>Otherwise ... you have a bad team pushed right up against the cap </strong>(with like 6 players expecting big raises in 2021-22).

So maybe it's a good idea to wait and see what's up.</div></div>

I understand the pressure to put a highly competitive team on the ice in NYC, but you have to wonder a little bit if accelerating the rebuild was a smart long term strategy. Trouba better be an absolute stud at $8M AAV and they still lack any kind of Center depth to be a playoff team. I think they're gonna struggle a little more this season than their fans are anticipating. And like you said, they're gonna be right up against the cap next season, even while subtracting a handful of middle six players.
