Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
Leafs seem to be shopping Bracco.. I wonder if Dubas tries and convinced them to take Bracco and one of the 6th / 7th round picks for him?

Puck Off!
Are you referring to his point totals (stats?), because he's not an offensive defensemen and shouldn't be judged as such.
Also, in your first post, you say it makes sense, but now you're saying you're surprised the Leafs are even interested.

Yeah I probably had the same feeling like I'd been in a coma for a couple years and didn't realize it. Dillon even being 29 made me feel a bit old. The first CHL game I ever attended was in Seattle in 2009. Dillon played in Seattle and signed as an undrafted free agent a couple years after that so I always thought it was cool even though I had no idea who he was at the time. Every amateur game I've been to ever since, I've tried to mentally figure out if I was watching any future Brendan Dillons.
Well then, I could understand why the Leafs could be interested in him then. Any deal would probably need to involved ceci. Something like Ceci+futures for Dillon+Dell
People need to stop being so abusive towards tires. Ridiculous...

33 year old Offensive dynamo and pending UFA Douglas Murray returned a 2nd + conditional 2nd a few years back. Pending UFA Defensive dmen pull a premium at the trade deadline. Dillon probably wont pull what Murray did but I could definitely see him pulling a 2nd or equivalent prospect.

Ironically, a guy like Dylan DeMelo would be just what the Leafs need.
He's really good at playing with offensive defencemen, much like Methot was with Karlsson. He's solid, rarely makes mistakes, plays very smart and lets his partner do their thing.
He's cheap under the cap too.
Personally, I'd rather keep him, but there's a fairly sizeable contingent of Sens fans who want to trade everyone.

Can you stop going into every thread and offering Jankowski + picks for any of the players involved when it's not even remotely related to the thread. You are single handedly lowering his value. Dillon doesn't even make sense for Calgary, he's not better than Hanifin, Gio, Brodie, or Andersson and spending even a 2nd on a rental to play 9 minutes a night is horrible asset management when he's isnt much of an improvement over Kylington

No. You don't have anyone but Reilly into next season. Nobody.

It's not the popular opinion among Leafs fans, But I think the team needs to keep Sandin and Liljegren in the minors this season. Nothing to do with contract slides or whatnot. But there's no benefit to putting the weight of the team on them now, which is what will happen given the teams' D struggles and current standings position.
Kick tires on Dillon. Yes, please. And every other defender who might be even close to tradeable. They should be adding 2 before the playoffs, and with the injuries to Rielly and Muzzin there's no reason to wait until the deadline.

For your LD commentary.
reilly is a top pair LD guy,
sandin is playing like a top 4 LD guy now,
dermott isnt playing great this year but he was playing like a top 4 LD last year and is still projected to do so. He prob never full recovered from his start of the year injuries.
either way the Left side is not a problem. The right is thinner than paper
as bad as you think the RD is should we even pull up how horrid the sharks LD is ?
the only reason dillion is playing way more than his average TOI (last 5 or so years) is because vlasic;s game has fallen off a cliff and rookie mario ferraro isnt looking good. So what choice does the sharks have ?

How long have you followed hockey? Have you experienced a trade deadline? And do you understand the concept of a physical defenseman?

Buddy none of what you just said is right. Sounds like you’ve never seen the sharks

A team in need of d-man, may (or may not) talk to another team regarding the acquisition of a d-man.
This must be why Friedman makes the big bucks.

Going into next season, we have Rielly, Dermott, Holl, Sandin and Liljegren. An extension is being rumoured with Muzzin to bring him back.
That is 5 defensive players expected to play, and potentially a renewed 6th in Muzzin.
.... and apologies, I didn’t realize we have to have our 2020-2021 opening day roster finalized by this years trade deadline. Bummer....
You can keep Dillon and let him walk as a UFA. He isn’t a difference maker for the Leafs this year.
How about addressing the specifics he’s talk about point by point, rather than posting a 2 line post crapping like you did?
Don’t agree? Fine, but his post was much more articulate than your two line response that boiled down to “nuh uhhhh”.

Sharks should have no issue taking Ceci back as long as the deal is worth it. Not like it really matters for the rest of the season, both Dillon and Ceci are UFA's who will walk.
If the Leafs give you the best price for Dillon you take Ceci. All about maximizing assets.
Then pair him with EK just for the lols.

Doug is going to target picks and prospects for anybody he sells on at the TDL. If he got 2 2nds for an old, slow Doug Murray then you can bet he’s going to get at least that for Dillon who might be the top dman available at the deadline. We can crap on Wilson for some of the contracts he’s handed out but he is one of the best GMs in the league when it comes to extracting full value in trades.
