Value of: Brian Eliott or Michael Nirvirth to the Leafs

[Devils Dominion]

Kinkaid?

 

[FlyersFanSinceBirth]

How about a 4th for Neuvirth. Then when he gets injured next week, a 3rd for Elliott.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

I just expect them to trade Kinkaid because they are sellers

Yet you ignored the accurate reasoning of why exactly they most likely won’t be trading Kinkaid.

Ignorance is bliss, I guess. Also obnoxious.

 

[ole ole]

we have a 6 pt lead and a game in hand on the next team down the ladder in our division,

Your also just 6 pts away from being out of the playoffs.Ya no reason to panic.

 

[Flukeshot]

You can have Neuvirth. He may be able to last a game or two before getting injured himself

Kinkaid?

Perfect but at what cost?

Woll and a 3rd

agree, no reason to panic, the wildcard teams are not threatening

Wonder if we see the leafs make a claim today since Babcock made a throwaway comment over wanting to get Kaskisuo some games in the AHL.

 

[TFHockey]

Talbot could be available. Short term fix, pending UFA. Probably won't cost a ton. Could be part of a bigger deal if the Oilers and Leafs come to terms.

 

[glucker]

We're not trading for another goalie lol.

Seems Babcock disagrees

 

[Appleyard]

Elliott is actually pretty good when healthy.

Neuvirth has been a shadow of himself for 2 1/2 seasons now. Worst sv% in NHL amongst goalies with 50+ games in that time. .896 sv%.

 

[glucker]

Schneider's on IR and hasn't won a regular season game since December 2017.

Trading Kinkaid leaves us with Blackwood and... ?? Lack's done for the year, and we have no timetable for Cory.

But, please, continue to lecture me about my team.

Kinkaid is not someone you sell, he's someone you re-sign.

I don’t get the controversy here. If the Devils are selling, isn’t poor goaltending something they’d like for a couple of months? Get s better pick?

Just because you trade Kinksid doesn’t mean you can’t bring him back in summer. Leafs did that with Polak a couple of times I think.

 

[Holymakinaw]

Andersen is on IR, Sparks appears to have a concussion and Michael Huchinson is now the starter.

This won't fly for long.

What you want Phily?

LOL. I think Andersen will be back very soon, and so will Sparks and we'll be fine.

 

[justafan22]

LOL. I think Andersen will be back very soon, and so will Sparks and we'll be fine.

I'd still make a claim on any goalie on waivers, so they don't have to use Kaskisuo as a NHL backup.

The idea is that, at the moment, if Kinkaid is traded, we simply do not have any other playable goaltenders. Schneider is on IR, and Lack is done for the season. We'd be stuck with Blackwood and... waiver fodder?

In turn, Blackwood is then thrown into a situation where he's the bonafide starter, as a 22-year-old with a literal handful of NHL games under this belt. I wouldn't say he's fragile, but he has had confidence issues in the past, and I'd much rather usher him into a starting role by running a 1A/1B tandem with another fringe starter (Kinkaid).

The high pick is nice, but I'd rather not have Blackwood's first NHL stint be more turbulent than the Devils' defense will already make it.

Who is Michael Nirvirth?

A cup of coffee and a cinnamon bun would be nice

Depends on the brand of coffee

 

[Advanced stats]

Seems Babcock disagrees

Didn't know Babcock called the shots.

He's just talking to build up the confidence of k2, who no doubt feels jerked around

Ftr, I can see them picking someone up on waivers, but a trade is stupid

For Neuvirth I'd honestly just settle for a Splenda packet.

Elliott Would probably require a combo meal of sandwich + coffee + donut.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

LOL. I think Andersen will be back very soon, and so will Sparks and we'll be fine.

If Sparks has a concussion we have no way of knowing when he's back

Babcock has A LOT of say
