Laughable if you think I am wrong. Yeah Blake started the trade talks with Grundstrom, right...
What Leafs fans say, i take that with a grain of salt.
The problem here is that Toronto probably gave up two main pieces and that is too hard too swallow.
There is no problem here my friend, not sure why you're so upset. I have no idea what Blake "started" with nor do I care, all I'm saying is you seem to be overvaluing what a late 1st round pick is worth. You disagree and that's fine, I'm just pointing out that saying "Sandin/Kempe" is a really poor argument but if that's you want to think, more power to you. And if you want to generalize about what "Leaf fans say", you're only making yourself foolish as painting millions of people with the same brush is obviously not an intelligent thing to do.
IMHO this was a good trade for both teams. I like Grundstrom but you gotta give to get, I have no problem with that and I hope he plays very well for LA. I'm even more happy that we were able to keep our top two prospects and I think LA was happy to get a good return for Muzzin, seems like a classic win/win scenario to me. LA took the best offer they got, and Toronto got a player they wanted at a fair price.
Than why are you trying so hard to convince yourself the value could have been more than Grundstrom/Durzi/and the 1st rd pick? People speculate on trades all the time on a trade speculation thread. The way Dubas has been folding in negotiations and trades it wasn't inconceivable he would pay even more than he already gave up in this deal right? If you don't like speculation on trades, you are in the wrong place.
The question is - why don't you just admit you were wrong?
