Sujet: Leafs in on Manson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jchafe77</b></div><div>YES I remember him. Him and Eric Wellwood are doing a deadly job here with the Growlers. IMO, they shaped Kristians Rubins out to be a really good reliable shutdown defender when he was here last year. Did a fantastic job with him. Cant say any other players down here will make their way to the NHL, but there are some potentials in my honest opinion. We got about 3-4 newfies on the team, and they treats it like this is the show, playing for their home province. You might recognize some of their names: James Melindy, Marcus Power and Zach O'Brien. We even had Adam Pardy here one year before he called it a career.
Liljegren and SDA also got into a game or two here as well</div></div>

Yes b'y! He was an assistant coach with the Oshawa Gen's until Covid, so they moved home to PEI. This came up super late, and he was supposed to join the UPEI coaching staff, but the Leafs organization is pretty great with internal promotions and what-not, so there was no way he could say no. By all accounts, the organization is top notch.

Sujet: Revisiting the Buffalo Trade from Yesterday
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TraderJoes</b></div><div>Only four Leafs forwards have more 5v5 goals than Hinostroza. Just FYI - he's not just a PP guy.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fjordy</b></div><div>Buffalo probably accept, Hinostroza is a good bottom 6 player and almost all of his points at ES.</div></div> I am completely bemused by how many Leaf fans hate these trades.
In other posts nearly all of them hate Ritchie and Holl yet here they do not think Crouse and Hinostroza would add.
No sense in arguing, Karmanos did really well adding Pysyk and Hinostroza while getting Hagg in a trade for Ristolainen.
I actually hope both Hagg and Hinostroza sign with Buffalo next year.
Hagg for depth and Hinostroza as the fourth RW behind Tuch, Quinn and Okposo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jchafe77</b></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</div></div>

Exactly.

Leafs could have a very good LW group within a couple of years of Bunting, Robertson, Amirov and Knies and it would cost them likely $6M or less. All 3 of the prospects are looking like surefire NHL locks (barring injuries/more injuries). If they can have some playoff success, they still have work to do this summer (Campbell, Mrazek, Ritchie, etc.), but past that, if they give out the right term to their RFAs, they can be in solid shape for awhile, in terms of prospects/youth replacing vets and good amount of cap flexibility.
