Proposal: Leafs-Vegas

[Legend123]

My God the arrogance from you is ridiculous. You thought a good prospect is good. What an eye for talent you have.

LOL My god you're comprehension skills are truly lacking. I think a good prospect will become a good NHL player (not prospect). I have doubts regarding Lili and am convinced at this point Hague is better.
Regardless the point was he sure isnt a B level prospect. f*** off with that statement. Leaf prospects are gods but other team prospects are just meh, amirite?

I can't tell if you're being rhetorical, must be my lack of reading comprehension. I just don't have an eye for it I guess.

 

[CupInSIX]

Are we comparing Hague and lily and sandin here?
Hague may have the highest offensive potential but is easily the worst in the d zone. And yes easily. Anybody who follows him knows that a weakness in his game.

I'll leave it at that not gonna say who's better. I think they are all comparable to some degree.

'I'm not going to say who's better but I'm going to say who's better.'

Well I follow Hague and I find what you say to be a load of hot garbage. He's +6 and plays just fine for a 19 year old in his first full pro season. He needs to spend another summer improving his foot speed, just like he improved it leaps and bounds this past summer

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

How many prospects were elite offensively in the CHL and busted? That's not exactly a great way to back up your claim when it's well known. I mean, you sit there and say you know prospects but I've yet to see you actually give any kind of report. It looks like you just went to DB and posted Hagues size and point totals.

Ah, so I am not the only one who sees the "legend"ary silliness.

Damn, arguing with Leaf fans is like taking to a rock.

The guy was arguing about Hague as if lili isnt known for his defensive miscues.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Good, you?

 

[Halla]

Gards gets 52pts last year, 49 pace thus far, but gets moved for a bottom pairing dman and B prospect?

nah. rather just keep him and watch him walk then move him for that pittance. criminally underrated on these boards. has easily been the best dman not named rielly on the leafs this year. on a team that is 7-3

 

[Halla]

Liljgren is waaaaay better than Hague lol

waiting for somene to come in with a +/- argument for the dude who has a teammate that is +13 in 8 games in the AHL

 

[Scott Stevens]

A 2nd round pick is better than our two recent firsts? Sandin was lights out in the pre-season and Liljegren was another D who made the AHL at 18. Nevermind the OHL. Not the first nor the last to score like that as a defenseman. That isn't even taking into account SDA.

But to claim a 2nd rounder is better than two first rounders so close to the draft is laughable.

Zetterberg
Jessimen

Pedigree means nothing.

Definitely agree. Never sell a player just because. Get proper value or the possible benefactors can go f*** themselves.

How has no one pointed out the difference between prospects playing in the ohl vs ahl. In the ahl your playing against full grown men in a faster pace and more physical game. The ahl is a much better indicator of NHL success then the ohl. Big boys can dominate playing against children in the ohl. This is why to predict the level of success of power forwards and defence men. I go to steel head games, and loved watching him. Liligren is the better prospect. Sandin and Hague are equal in value. I prefer Hague just cause of his side, but sandin plays with more heart and his passion and work ethic could lead him to be better. Hague=SANDIN

 

[Gavy]

I wouldn't want Gardiner for Hague alone.

Leafs are looking for size after they let the gritty guys go and will struggle in the playoffs again. shanaplan

Bahahahahhahahhahahahahahhahahaha

 

[Brock Radunske]

I wouldn't do McNabb straight up for Gardiner

Hague...over my dead body

You wouldn't trade a career bottom pairing dman for Gardiner?

Good luck!

 

[Spirit of 67]

I think Vegas wanna make damage in the playoffs again, cant have chokers who crack under preasure
And with Schmidt and Theo signed, dont think they need a third off those contracts.

So no Roman Josi or Shea Weber either then, eh?
Got it.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Damn, arguing with Leaf fans is like taking to a rock.

Gross. Why would you be taking it to a rock?
Try POF.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Jake Gardiner . People aren't lining up for his services .

Source?

 

[howkie]

Good luck!

What should they do with Gardiner?Both Schmidt and Theo has shown they can play in the playoff? Do they needa third guy in same mold, that dont can play playoff?... Oh man

 

[howkie]

So no Roman Josi or Shea Weber either then, eh?
Got it.

Do they play for Toronto? One is not like the other 3, and Josi has performed decent in the playoffs...

 

[ER89]

Nope.

sorry waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. You're right.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Do they play for Toronto? One is not like the other 3, and Josi has performed decent in the playoffs...

I thought we were basing this on one game 7 in which the player was a gas can.

 

[ER89]

What an asinine way of looking at it. I guess Michael Dal Colle is the Islanders top prospect. After all, he was drafted top 5

What's asinine is that you compared MDC who was drafted in 2014 when he was talking about value of players in recent drafts. Swing and a miss. Not saying his point is correct but you countered dumb with even dumber.

 

[Spirit of 67]

that dont can play playoff?.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Gardiner is a great player. I can only guess that the team he plays for is why he's getting so little respect here.

 

[bukwas]

To TOR: McNabb + Hague

To LGK: Gardiner

Leafs won’t be able to afford Gardiner after this year. Vegas could use an offensive defender and help on the PP.

McNabb adds some size and stay at home play while Hague is an intriguing prospect with size.

The bolded is a strong possibility but i think a good portion of the fans are comfortable with Dermott taking Gardiners spot next season should the money not work out. This season they can have both and try to make some noise in the playoffs which is probably their best move. Of course nobody knows whether changes to the D core will happen prior to the deadline so there are scads of possibilities but i would consider downgrading the D to be one of the least likely plans.
