Cause he's an overrated number 4?
More balanced than last year is what I said, he was extremely sheltered then in less minutes
you seem to think that I'm saying "no we're good, Dermott is the answer", what I'm saying is "I'm not trading Dermott because he could be the answer and I'd like to find out"
If we can't get a Pacioretty type return for him (replacement level roster player, top prospect, pick) then its better to hang on to him. Have no interest in trading him for the 24th pick plus junk.
This is the mentality that caused the "Laughs" to be garbage for 50 years. The reality is that outside of Tavares this is their core
Matthews - 21 years old
Marner - 21 years old
Nylander - 22 years old
Rielly - 24 years old
Andersen - 29
Their next best forwards are Kapanen, 22 and Johnsson, 24 (Kadri fits here as well and is 28 but is not a critical piece for us this year).
On defense after Rielly, Gardiner is likely a cap casualty. This means their 2nd best D is Dermott, 21.
Next year they will be forced to promote the Marlies in order to fill the holes that get opened this offseason due to the cap making the team even younger.
The Leafs can afford to wait 3 or 4 years and compete as is and just keep drafting well and adding talent to the roster like every other team has done.
Tampa never went "all in" and moved their big guns for these types of moves. They were patient and moved lesser guys in that McDon deal. On top of that, their defense doesn't even look any better than ours by the eye test or the stats.
Last night the Lightning D looked just as scrambly and panicked in their own zone as the Leafs did. They won the game the same way the Leafs get criticized for, being in a turtle shell looking lost and having their goalie cover their mistakes.
On top of that, the Leafs defense is almost 10 spots higher (or was before last night) than theirs for GA.
And even if they DO have a better defense, the Leafs can wait a few years for their defense prospects to mature and come into top 4 pieces for us.
Or maybe a big UFA comes and signs in a few years. NO ONE saw Tavares signing here, no one saw Karlsson being dealt for that package, etc.
If anything, the Leafs SHOULD wait and take their time. They can afford to compete for the next few years with what they have.
The Lightning in your example had to go all in, their guys are all in their primes. Leafs guys are still on their ELC's.
Yes I tried to save myself a wordy reply wrt Tatar, who may end up being better than Pacioretty.You won't get that, we managed to steal Tatar because the Knight's GM thought that he was a cap dump, they even retained on him.
there's not much difference, but there is positive difference in the role and his possession metrics have improved rather than regressed, so more elevation in the role is something we should exploreThere is no much difference between Dermott's usage this year to last.
And I wasn't really addressing Dermott as a trade chip, just that his play doesn't mean much from playing an elevated role this year.
That, and Toronto should look at addressing their very real defensive weakness now, since they have a window of opportunity. They don't need to sell the farm to do so either, but getting good players isn't cheap.
Only to get a macpac type of return, otherwise we keep him at the very least till tdl 2021Petry is playing possibly the best hockey of his career, why the hell would we trade him?
how do you value Tatar in that transaction if you were replacing him with picks?Only to get a macpac type of return, otherwise we keep him at the very least till tdl 2021
Tough one. Personally I'd rather have trending prospects than draft picks, ie I'd rather have suzuki that the 13th pick.how do you value Tatar in that transaction if you were replacing him with picks?
what about a deadline deal of 1st+Bracco *if Bracco keeps surging in the AHL (16pts in his last 15 games), would that be of any interest to Montreal?
ya just trying to do the math on what a Pacioretty type package looks like because Tatar is such a wildcard in that one. Vegas overpaid for him badly at 1st+2nd+3rd, and at an equivalent to Suzuki+1st+2x2nds+3rd there's no way we'd be in on a Petry deal, but if Tatar is worth a 2nd+3rd it starts to look more reasonable from our end, like a Sandin+Borgman/Rosen (plug-in LHD with some upside but not a ton)+2nd/Bracco/etc might make sense for usTough one. Personally I'd rather have trending prospects than draft picks, ie I'd rather have suzuki that the 13th pick.
From Toronto I'd rather target your recent first round selections than have your pick. I just don't have a lot of faith in our scouting and development team.
Gun to head:. 10-15th pick or equivalent package
the capacity that I'd use him in for the purposes of a deal like this is a substitute for a 2nd rounder, if he's ppg in the AHL at the deadline I think he's worth more than that in a vacuum, that would signal a floor rising to me which is the concern for Bracco rather than the ceilingBracco would be of no interest.
I was just thinking about my valuation on Tatar and its how I value him today ie) why the hell would you trade a good top 6 winger for anything less than a top 15 pick, not on how he was valued when the trade happened.ya just trying to do the math on what a Pacioretty type package looks like because Tatar is such a wildcard in that one.

I am jumping in here late...so i haven't read the chain of posts leading up to this one, but this isn't what you are expecting for Petry....right?I was just thinking about my valuation on Tatar and its how I value him today ie) why the hell would you trade a good top 6 winger for anything less than a top 15 pick, not on how he was valued when the trade happened.
At the time of the trade Tatar had a value that was tough to gauge, he was recently traded for a ransom at the TDL then was a healthy scratch during the playoffs. Still, he was a proven 50 point player on a good contract so he did have value, I'd peg it closer to Toronto's 2019 1st than a top 10-15 pick.
Torontos equivalent of Suzuki
2019 1st or Sandin or Liljegren
2nd round pick or equivalent
Now, who is Torontos equivalent of Suzuki?
I am fully not expecting to trade petry unless it's for a maxpac type return.I am jumping in here late...so i haven't read the chain of posts leading up to this one, but this isn't what you are expecting for Petry....right?
Toronto's Suzuki is Sandin or Liljegren. I think that gets too rich for us then. I'd be happy to add more quantity of decent things but personally I'd be out on any deal that included two of our 1st, Liljegren or Sandin. I'd rather add to that to get a longer term solution guy like Pesce/ParaykoI was just thinking about my valuation on Tatar and its how I value him today ie) why the hell would you trade a good top 6 winger for anything less than a top 15 pick, not on how he was valued when the trade happened.

the offense really isn't what we need, its a dman who can handle the usage and play the right side. I'd take Brodin over Petry as an example because he'll probably be here longer even if he doesn't have as much to offer offensivelyI am fully not expecting to trade petry unless it's for a maxpac type return.
I'm not demanding anything, just spitballing an equivalent package from the leafs.
I'm sure you can pick up another 50 point rhd elsewhere anyways.
That's fair, just might not be a fit between the teams right now.Toronto's Suzuki is Sandin or Liljegren. I think that gets too rich for us then.

I'd expect Montreal to keep him as long as you're in playoff contention honestlyThat's fair, just might not be a fit between the teams right now.
I have really no interest in trading petry right now, I used to bag on him but he's been unreal for us so I'd need good value in return
Not even close. Petry >> Gardiner A late 1st doesn't even come close to making up the difference.Gardiner + 1st gets the conversation started for Petry.
Is Gardiner sign for a few more seasons...No there you go.Mete for Gardiner?
