LeBrun: "I think you're talking Johnsson or Kapanen" for a RHD with term

[7even]

For real though, Kapanen for Severson?

Really prefer to use that bullet for a defenseman who can defend.

 

[sansabri]

Laughton + Myers

For

Kappy + Harpur

Why would the Flyers trade Myers

 

[DougGilmour93]

Why would the Flyers trade Myers

I just heard that Philly was one of the interested teams..

 

[ole ole]

RIP to all those fans who thought they would get Kapanen for DeSmith or Georgiev

TSN Radio just now. Lebrun says teams love Kappy and he would fetch Dumba straight up if the Leafs wanted to.

Don't you think that if Dubas (mod) could have gotten Dumba straight up for Kappy it would have been done by now?
Lebrun is making a fool of himself by making such a ridiculous claim.

Yeah RIP those one or two people

Could you possibly have misinterpreted posters from those who said that they wouldn't give up those goalies for less than Kapanen?

Because those are two different things.

 

[Liferleafer]

Off the top of my head...Connor Murphy in Chicago. Scott Mayfield in NYI. Travis Hamonic in Calgary. Anthony DeAngelo in NYR. Different situations, different values, different trades.

Mayfield is interesting..

No, the deal wouldn't be done by now. A 1 for 1 can't be done, even if both teams are willing.

With term you say? Sounds like they would love Burns or Karlsson. They have lots of term. Don't worry about the cap, we can make it work.

 

[TOGuy14]

Lol, really, leafs fans are so funny, so leafs got the best PP ever lol, So leafs had the best ever C depth in nhl history nope, mathews on the same level as mcdavid, leafs winning multiple cups with this team.

So what where you saying about missing horribly, just an fyi leafs fan should not atatck anybody else team, you know havent won anything in forver, not passed the 1st round in forever.

What?

Is the world just binary opposites to you?

Currently we have a top tier PP unit and two elite Cs down the middle. What part of that is false. I challenge you to find a single post where a fan claimed the Leafs had the best C depth in history.

We are what we are, a super offensively gifted and deep team trying to find some defensive balance.

Dubas is looking for term and an age appropriate player.

You missed the whole point bud, my post was making fun of the op, and kami whos a leafs fan who loves to start weird threads, like best C depth in the nhl ever, or best PP ever, has nothing to do with how insecure you are about how people perceive the leafs team. Hope you get it now.

Kapanen is on pace to score 46 points over 82 on the highest-scoring team in the league.
Gets to play with Marner/Tavares/Matthews/Nylander.


Canucks comparables to Kapanen would be Virtanen and Gaudette. I don't see how those guys land a top 4 RHD under 26 with term. There would have to be an add.

Those would be excellent comparables if they were actually comparable. Except both score at about half the rate of Kapanen at the same age and are probably in a lower skill bracket as well.

 

[SharksFan445]

Karlsson is a measly 29, and Burns will be 35, 2 years younger than mr. marleau when you guys signed him. That sounds age appropriate to me

If you want to use Marleau as a template, you should call the Islanders about those guys, Lou works there now.

And no chance the Leafs would consider the contracts of either guy.

TIL 31 in 54 and 23 in 44 are half the pace of 29 in 52

Dumbass doesn't have Kappy to trade. Dumbass is the Habs GM.

If only a half season made a career

One player has 90 points in 264 games the only has 83 points in 185 games.

 

[Lenerdosy]

Wow revelation! It takes a good player to land a good player... And Kapanen and Johnsson are the only 2 worthwhile on the team that can acquire any RHD with term especially with no 1st round pick available.

So you only want to look at it in the way that makes your guy look favorable?

I'd take burns or karlson in a heartbeat

 

[Liferleafer]

No way to fit either contract, and Burns is 35.

 

[Imnotagoodposter]

Lol Karlsson on the leafs. Instead of every win being 6-5 it’d have to be 11-10

I am looking at the full five year career of two similar aged players and you are looking at the most recent ~50 games, and you are trying to infer that I am cherry picking stats?

These are young, developing players who have come into the league at different times. Do you really think comparing their careers 3+ years ago is more valid than looking at this season to determine their value right now?
