Proposal: The Det Collector: TOR + BUF + DET

[Ishad]

The best way for Detroit to start icing a winning team is to acquire picks in a strong draft...

Great. We'll take the 8th overall if you want to dump that contract. Otherwise why don't we just trade #32 directly to the leafs for 15, Kerfoot, Johnsson? Why are we helping you out? For funnsies?

Helping me out?

Not sure if you know this, but I'm not a representative for any of the teams involved...


As for your proposal... sure! That works too...

Fair enough. I assumed you were a buffalo fan as the trade was so lopsided in their favor.

That should have nothing to do with it. Even if we use the cap space to sign the perfect player, it's a bad trade because we could have easily moved these players in better trades with the same outcome.

I'd be surprised if Toronto got a better deal than this with 0 salary coming back. Thus why it'd be a win as that capspace would be used to sign a true #1Dman.

They could get assets for these guys but those assets would also have salary attached because no one is giving up NHL talent on an ELC for Toronto's bottom 6 forwards.

 

[BAM]

And what would those trades look like? The ones that net the Leafs positive value for Kerfoot and Johnsson...

If you don't think Kerfoot or Johnsson can't fetch a 2nd at least...you're hopeless.

 

[Hogan86]

I see Kerfoot and Johnsson as cap dumps, not "productive middle 6 players on market value deals"

Then you see wrong.

Two middle six forwards, on deals less than 3.5AAV and who both produce around 40 points a season are not cap dumps. They most definitely hold value, and the Leafs wont be dumping a 15th OA pick to shed their contracts. Give your head a shake...

If they could each fetch a 2nd, I think they would've been traded by now...

This is delusion. The Leafs really like both players. They aren't being dumped, the only one arguing this is yourself.

Lock this up. This is such a terrible thread.

Oh wow the Leafs are just going to lose some trades so they get cap space to sign Pietrangelo. I dunno, I feel like maybe we would try and at least break even on some trades to get cap space to sign Pietrangelo.

This is a thread that should have stayed in the graveyard, not get a 2 week later bump. Can we get one of those, "Nothing to see here, closed" mod posts please?

I agree.
