He would be a very nice top 9 addition, but the costwell then there is the reason he is better than brown. Another poster wanted to just compare points and call him a brown level player

The problem is nobody is sitting out for him?
Makes little sense. I don't really see much better than what we have.
Gives you some depth on D, especially on RHS.
Not likely much better than Ozhiganov. Why waste an asset on a #7D , who is also a pending UFA, when that's not the problem?
Leafs need more quality to push down pieces, not just depth.
A number 2 or 3 RD would be better than 3 * 5th. or 6th. guys.
Good defenders can easily play over 20 minutes a night.
Get 48 minutes per game from the top 2 pairings and only have to spot 3rd. pairing 12 minutes.
Don't want to weaken the forwards, but unless someone on the Marlies is ready, wait until next year then they'll be great.
The Leafs could still afford to move a forward or two off the Marlies at the deadline.
Brady Ferguson, Scott Pooley, Giorgio Estephan, Hudson Elynuik, and Matt Bradley could possibly all make the jump to the AHL if need be.
Yes. I'd rather spend more to get a defenseman that can actually play meaningful minutes past this season. It's easier said than done but I wouldn't make a trade for the sake of one either, and McQuaid feels like that quite a bit.
In my dreams it's a right side D who is unquestionably top 4. That bumps down Zaitsev and Hainsey (maybe out of the lineup). The top pairings improve and the bottom pairings improve. Add some marginal right side D and all he does is add some questionable experience to the bottom pairing. In my dreams: Alex Pietrangelo with salary retained.

Yeah but the cost of getting him will be higher than McQuaid. McQuaid can probably be had for a 4th/5th rd pick.
But you're right, I would look into getting Gudas first if the Price is right.
That fine but I'm asking...did he say he's heard "The Leafs have interest in Adam Mcquaid"...or was it more along the line of "I think Adam Mcquaid makes sense for the leafs.
No he actually didn't say that. He was asked and he said something like "its possible but he doesn't seem to be what they need".

I'd only trade for Mcquaid if they can dump Brown in the deal.
I wonder if the Caps still want a couple mid-round picks for Burakovsky. Flip them Lindholm as a contract back and a few picks and see if a change of scenery gets him back to a 20 goal player.

Avs fans love Zadorov, dont let them see thisWould a Gardiner for Zadorov and Wilson deal work. I know he's a lefty but he hits and could play on 3rd pair with Oz or Hainsey. Wilson is a ufa, I don't know how much center he's played lately but he's a ufa . Might be a 4th line upgrade. The combined contracts are almost a wash.
