Sujet: Habs reportedly have looked at Forsberg
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>It's totally understandable if he doesn't trade him. It's just a source that I trust on Twitter that said Bergevin has called on Forsberg.

As for the trade, I'd say that more or less 3 1st round picks is pretty good futures, especially for a player one year removed from UFA who can't come with extension.</div></div>

Yeah Poile said he’s fielded calls on Forsberg for sure. And again I don’t think it’s a bad trade (honestly I would have to look into the prospects as I admittedly don’t know much about other teams prospect pools if they aren’t the huge names) but I just don’t think it hits the “absolute slam dunk” poile is looking for. He likely tries to resign him next year and if he can’t get a deal, he flips him at next years deadline.

Which sucks because then the Preds get less assets for a true rental.

Sujet: Hear me out leafs fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>josi4norris</b></div><div>I agree that Saros is off to a rough start this year (which happens every year with him for some reason), but is this season the only one that matters? Because if we look at the past couple of seasons, it's a different story when comparing the two. He's also a bit cheaper than Freddy. Not saying the Leafs take this, but I don't know that the Preds love it either.</div></div>

He used one stat (that played in his favor) and the fact that I misspelled a name to try to prove his point. That’s the type of person you can’t argue with. If I cared (I don’t) I could pull a ton of stats and then just present the ones that make my case. Either way the “who is better debate” is still opinion at the end of the day.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>They'd be trading away potentially 4 out of 5 years worth of 1st round picks plus other assets for Forsberg (awesome), Ekholm (also awesome, but would be playing 3rd pairing minutes and then likely getting taken by Seattle), Granlund (who is a UFA), and a tandem goalie. In a vacuum, the value probably isn't that bad, but I don't think there is any feasibility here.</div></div>

100% this trade never happens. But I appreciate you see the value is, at the least, close. I do think Ekholm plays top 4 minutes on that team and I think putting Fil and Gran with Mathews, Tavares, Nylander and Marner the best top 6 in the league. Even better than Tampa (although they are ridiculously stacked too)

Sujet: Leafs - Win Now Trade with VGS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justin2_m</b></div><div>There's about a 6 year age difference between the players being traded (Fleury - 36, Anderson - 31; Marchessault - 30, Nylander - 24). Instead of Vegas having 2 starting goalies, you shift to having a starter and a solid backup. They move that cap upfront into a player who will continually improve over the next few years, especially with the help of Vegas' exceptional training facilities. You also upgrade a late 2nd round pick to a late 1st which just acts as the cherry on top. It's also a cap neutral trade which means neither team gains or loses any cap space.</div></div>

They move from an early 2nd to a late 1st. A wash. They move from a very good goalie to a not very good goalie. And they move from a goal scorer to a slightly better goal scorer. They are slightly better later but not any better today. They are in win now mode. Makes no sense.
