Starting to change my mind on this whole “Leafs need to trade Marner” business…

e: I cannot bring myself to listen to this audio so someone tell me if it sounds better or worse in context

What would be a realistic return for Marner? How do you trade a ~$11mil cap hit? Marner has a NMC and no chance he’d go to a team with that kind of space

^^^ Elliotte’s been talking out his rear end more and more lately, I’ve stopped putting a lot of stock in his thoughts column


Interestingly the Kessel trade to PIT was all Shanahan, the Leafs hired Lou to be their GM three weeks later and Shanny was de facto running the team. If Marner gets run out of town for peanuts similarly Shanahan will at least have signed off on it if not be the one demanding it.

Jokes aside though I don’t really believe that’ll happen

two softest teams in the league, funniest hire given that Torts isn't available and Keenan is in Italy


if they wanted to be cheap why not just chance it on a college or a junior guy, what the gently caress did Travis Green show this year that could possibly make any team want to hire him as a HC

anyway good news for the Devils but this could just mean Berube cometh, save us Shanahan

Larkin backed out with an injury, Nelson, Hayes, Petry, Will Smith, Eyssimont added, looks pretty good for a WC team but losing Larkin is a pretty big blow. Connor not coming in the end sucks too


e: oh Leonard too that's cool. Wonder why Perreault didn't come too? Continuing to be criminally underrated even by USA hockey?

A top defender, with mediocre defensive stats. Good thing defenders are only being asked to play offense these days.

I do understand why you want offensive upsides from your defense, but why this is prioritized more and more frequently over being able to do both is beyond my comprehension. Makar is an interesting example of this for me with how he's gone this year. A little more offense, but some defensive regression. Adam Fox, Josh Morrissey, and Quinn Hughes are so much more balanced in this respect on both ends of the ice. They have such upsides in the offensive and defensive zones.

Klingberg and Justin Schultz have taken so much poo poo for being mediocre defenders but at one time good offensively. They take so much poo poo, but then teams go out and are prioritizing exactly that skill set.

Matthews still refuses to answer what he had beyond, when asked if it was a flu-like virus, "something like that". Amazing how hard the league is trying to censor covid out of existence

I wouldn't say it's prioritized over the ability to defend, look at Ty Smith, and Brandt Clarke not getting into a single Kings playoff game. Teams are more willing to take a chance, but undersized offensive d-men still have a hell of time cracking a roster unless they're incredible offensively, which Casey has been so far.

Casey was projected as a first rounder and dropped to the Devils in the 2nd, it's not like he was some top 10 pick, that kind of offensive grade is huge value where the Devils got him.

if you get a Klingberg or a Justin Schultz in the 2nd you're elated

like oh drat we got a guy who played 20 minutes on a back to back Stanley Cup winner or the guy who put up 40+ points from the backend five straight years drat we really struck out on our 34% chance to make the NHL pick rate

Then again it also sucks poo poo because this kind of thinking let the Rangers get Perreault at 23, the Flyers get Brink at 34, etc.

Would the Ducks trade Olen Zellweger (#34) for anyone outside of the top 8 in that draft? Even then it would be really close value wise
