All these deals are terrible for the team not named Maple Leafs.

 

[hockeykicker]

here are all the trades



The Matt Martin Trade

To ANA: Matt Martin
To Tor: 4th
It’s nothing personal, I’m just clearing cap space and a roster spot for the other stuff I’m doing. Sorry Matt Er, actually, I should say that the way Lou would say it.

Hard pass. We don't want your overpaid 4th liner. We have enough bottom sixers already and they make less.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

The Parioretty trade is hilariously bad for Montreal.
The Honka and Pageau trades are also pure awful for Not Toronto.
Gudas is an idiot but he's also a top four defenceman and a RH besides. Cant see the Flyers doing that.
If the Rangers are blowing it up I think they'd get better than that for Grabner, dude has over 20 goals with almost nothing on the PP.
Martin and Polak are assets you add something in order to get rid of - especially with Martin's contract.

You try to add:
Pacioretty, Pageau, Gudas, Honka, Grabner, 4th and 7th round picks

while only giving up

1st, 2nd, 3rd, Kapanen, Carrick, Leivo, Bracco, Borgman, Brooks, Komarov, Martin, and Polak. The latter three are basically cap dumps at this point.

Pacioretty and Pageau on their own would command most of the pieces worth anything (1st+Kapanen+Carrick at least for Patches, 2nd+Leivo at least for Pageau)

To the box of shame with you, sir.

 

[Liferleafer]

The only one remotely realistic is Martin for a late pick.

 

[Kelly]

He forgot Bozak + 2nd for Stastny

 

[HandshakeLineRespect]

Get that garbage outta here

 

[Dog]

Ha ha ha ha.. What did I just read..

 

[OVO16]

Lmao thats trash. Have to think the whole article was a joke. Thats what the tone of it sounded like

 

[Scrapy1980]

That’s my thoughts but had to post for a joke, it’s always Serious on this board lol

 

[TOGuy14]

Not true.

Kap + 2nd for Gudas made me barf.

Agree with the rest though.

 

[crowi]

Honka for that, oh my.
Reasonable TOR fans would laugh at all of those.

 

[BleedBlue14]

He forgot Bozak + 2nd for Stastny

Would you trade Kadri for Bozak + 2nd?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Armchair gm at its finest

 

[Kcoyote3]

Man that's all garbage

 

[hamzarocks]

Would you trade Kadri for Bozak + 2nd?

pretty sure the poster is referencing the leafs version of "ryder, halak and a 2nd" . I am pretty sure back when Stastny played for Avs leafs would offer Bozak and a pick for him.

Out of those trades, the Polak for a 7th is a trade that isn't worth bitching about. Teams trade for pylons at the deadline all the time.
The Kapanen deal is also bad, he is not for sale. Gudas is a top 4 dmen but we are not looking to trade Kapanen. He is both going to be a great player and could serve to take the role of marner/nylander if either is traded (a minor chance that happens).

Agree the rest are poor for other teams fans both in value and reasoning

 

[brokenwolf88]

This is why we can't have nice things. God dammit.

 

[LeafSteel]

I’m glad I didn’t click on the link.

Rubbish.

 

[Critical13]

If we traded Kapanen for Gudas I would be devastated.

 

[Addison Rae]

use your brain

 

[LeafChief]

This is garbage.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Even if we assume the trades are reasonable, you can't just add 4-5 new players into a team. They'll never gel in time.
