Is schmaltz on a 2-way? (Like borgman)
It's a D for D trade...so your post doesn't really make sense.How many depth d does Toronto need jeez
I'd say it's low risk/low reward, but still a deal that makes sense for both teams.Don't mind it as low risk/high reward type move. More depth on the right side, too.

I can't speak about Borgman, but Schmaltz has been stuck behind two very good dmen and never provided the physicality that Bortuzzo (who was resigned for 3 years last season) did to the bottom pairing. I thought he deserve more of a chance in St. Louis and hope he gets playing time in Toronto. He may have bottom pairing d potential at this point. Solid puck mover, but doesn't love to be hit. Very good AHL dman.
After he got sent down last year, he fizzled. I think a fresh start will do him wonders.
We just called him Cyborg.Borgman is a fun name to say.
Then again so is Schmaltz....hmmm
At this point it seems it is basically a 7th d for 7th d trade. This helps Toronto with their RH side a miniscule amount while doing the same for STLs LH side I guess.
Borgman has 1 more year exempt from waivers so it helps STL that way. TOR gets a 7th rhd who can MAYBE be a #6 RHD.At this point it seems it is basically a 7th d for 7th d trade. This helps Toronto with their RH side a miniscule amount while doing the same for STLs LH side I guess.
High reward and Jordan Schmaltz don't belong in the same sentence.Don't mind it as low risk/high reward type move. More depth on the right side, too.
What if ends up being a serviceable 6th D for us on our weak right side? That to me is a high reward for a guy unlikely to crack our team...High reward and Jordan Schmaltz don't belong in the same sentence.
