Proposal: Leafs Trades to Fix Defensive Woes

[BBB24]

Habs laugh and hang up. Leafs want Weber think Marner.

You truly cannot be serious????????

You truly cannot be serious????????

Sadly....he is.

There is. His name is Chris Tanev. But for some reason Toronto fans **** all over the idea of having him on their team. If you want a top pairing D without any real flaws then the cost is going to start with one of the big 3 and go up from their.

Toronto is no longer rebuilding. The resistance to trading some young assets to get better today is confusing to me.

Most of us are not opposed to having Tanev on the team. But saying that he is going to cost "one of the big 3 and up from there" is going to get a whole lot of angry buzzing. If you want to talk about Kapanen and a first, you'll have a bunch of people making conversation. But Tanev has two very serious flaws in that he provides almost no offense, and more importantly he is lucky to get 65 games in a year. Leafs fans aren't resistant to trading some young assets to get better, but Tanev comes with far too much risk to have a price tag like Nylander. Furthermore, if a player like Travis Hamonic only costs a 1st and two seconds, Tanev is just completely overpriced. He's better than Hamonic, but that's a much better comparable than the Larsson-Hall trade.

Yup, i think if TO trades for him, it will be 1st+2nd+

Well if he is he needs help, there is not a single player on the Habs that would get them Marner, it would be Weber ++ or there ++++

Habs will keep a #1 D and you keep your soft no show come playoff time.

I love how so many fans of non playoff teams run their mouths like their words carry any substance.

Seabrooke and Weber are good dman getting older and worse on very expensive contracts they aren’t worth much especially not a young elite winger in Nylander

What's your definition of elite. Scoring 60 points as a winger is good but it doesn't scream elite to me.

 

[Rob Brown]

I'm late to the party, but these are all horrible proposals.

 

[TS Quint]

Meh, he only faced over 2200 shots this season...i'm sure they were all from the outside or bad angles though....

That’s what I was told. I have my doubts.

 

[Mackiaveli]

5'11, 172 pound kid with a 45% FO% is definitely out of place... Very far so. He had comparable FO% to Jonathan Drouin, who is so far from being a C it's ridiculous.

Aho can play C if needed, and is a good cycle into the draw when your C gets booted, but he is not a 1C or 2C, he is an elite young winger in the making.

Aho doesn't have the size to play C, just like Drouin doesn't. He's a talented winger, that's where he should stay.

alright

Connor McDavid won 41.4% of his faceoffs this season.

why did you have to remind me of my shit takes.

Aho is nuts. I was wrong.

Graves and Helleson for Amirov

Holy crap... talk about a necro-thread. 2018??
