Sujet: Anderson will play
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>Leafs don't want it either</div></div>

Totally incorrect. Weegar would be a huge add for this team. The way I see it there are two problems with adding him. 1 is acquisition cost, because obviously it takes more than this to get him. If you have to include Kerfoot in the deal (and maybe you wouldn't) that makes it dicey, as he's going to be a big part of our middle 6 going forward. They won't want Justin Holl because they have enough D men right now, so you'd have to make another move to send Holl (or somebody else, likely Dermott) somewhere else, which adds layers of complication. But if you have to give up a 2021 first rounder for Weegar, do you want to do that knowing how important ELC and cheap contributors will be to this team going forward.

2 is the salary cap this year and going forward. You might be able to find space for what Weegar wants this year, but what then. If you tie up some money in him over a longer-term, you're now going to struggle to resign Morgan Rielly in 2 years (and Hyman next year). The Leafs have very fixed costs for the next 4-5 years and need to be sure that whoever they add is going to fit in that fixed cost structure. If you add Brodie and Weegar this offseason, you risk losing out on Rielly and Hyman. Not sure if that makes our team better overall. And if you're only going to have Weegar for two years, you have to be careful how much you give up to get him.

Sujet: Cernak
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ASoftDumpInTheCorner</b></div><div>Or you trade him for a bunch of assets and let Sandin develop into that role?</div></div>

Why? Why would you not try to keep MORGAN RIELLY, who is a top-5 offensive defenceman in the NHL. He's young and will be effective for another 7-10 years. He's a big part of our core. Why trade him? How many teams trade away their core pieces while they are competing? They don't and neither will Dubas. You don't win stanley cups by trading away good players for "assets." If you are being forced to choose between Eric Cernak and Morgan Rielly, shouldn't that be an easy choice?

Assets can very often equal getting almost nothing in return. Lots of times stars are traded for prospects and picks that end up never being any good.

Sujet: One trade to fix Tampa and Ottawa
I am not sure if Tampa will want to move both of those guys. If they are moving Sergachev and Johnson for example, they can then afford to keep Cirelli. Or whoever they value most, so I don't see them moving both of those guys. I am not sure any amount of prospects or picks will change that.

I also don't think either player signs those contracts. Put it in their perspective, they've just been moved from the best team in the league to the worst (arguably or not, they're bottom 3). You now want them to commit 7 years at a discounted rate? No chance. They'll both want bridge deals to try and get paid when the cap goes back up, silly to agree to a long-term discount right now.

I actually think Tampa will try hard to move McDonagh before they move Sergachev.

Sujet: Leafs Proposal 7v2 - See Ya Willie Nylie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cbdpushp</b></div><div>I think Toronto wins this trade. they get a better, more hard-working player, for cheaper and opens up cap space to sign another stud defenseman. How is that NOT a win????</div></div>

"More hard-working player" based on what? The eye test? What other people say? Nylander is a cost-controlled 30 scoring winger who's still under 25. Every other team in the league loves that guy, Leafs fans want to trade him for garbage, I hate it. Trading Nylander is a terrible move, just to sign Mackenzie Weegar to an offersheet that gets matched? Brutal.

You don't trade away very good young players for other players who are not as good.

Sujet: This is who Id Like the leafs to sign this afternoon
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RangerWall92</b></div><div>Gudas and Tanev would be the jackpot, I'd love Maroon on the team, but I don't think Duclair is worth it for the leafs. Their top 6 is already very solid and they should use that money on defense</div></div>

If you want them to improve on defence, signing Tanev, Gudas and Maroon would be a poor start. None of them are good at stopping the other team from shooting, which is an essential function of defence. Offence needs to come from other places than the top 6, if they could fit Duclair he would be a huge help on the 3rd line.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarner_16</b></div><div>Duclair and kahun are all nylander replacements if he were to be traded for a dman.</div></div>

Stop trying to trade Nylander! He is young, good at scoring goals and affordable. Why would we want to move him? Getting one defender doesn't fix the roster, it's better to add multiple players who can defend than put all your eggs in one basket.
