you think you hate yeo for favoring vets over young players? He merely adopted it. Babcock and lamoriello were born in it, molded by it.
rofl yes

so apparently phaeneuf is on the market. So im not saying id do this, but i want to know thoughts. Would you guys entertain a deal involving brodin pomminville for something with phaeneuf and marner/nylander?
Man, I really like that move for the Leafs. They did good (for once).
Phaneuf got traded to the Sens.
But I really like this idea of trading brodin for a top pick. Imagine if that turned into Laine or Puljarvi, and the wild get mcloud, jost, or keller with their own pick
Ish no! Bad! Jordan Staal and his contract is far worse than Eric Staal.
Is it worse than Pominville's?
It really is. He's signed through 2023 at 6mil per.
Well now the wheels are turning...Brodin+JEE would probably get a team at #2 or #3 at least interested. And then with our pick we could realistically be looking at Jost (who is going to be great).
We absolutely should not trade Ek. Or Tuch for that matter.
If we do end up being sellers at the deadline, NMC's aside (just to spur discussion), what pieces could be on the move? to where? for what?
Crazy but I think our cup window happens when JEE,Tuch and (hopefully) Kaprizov are progressing into the NHL.Agreed. I said it a few pages ago but I'll say it again. The reason our window seems so small is because we keep trading away picks and prospects for veteran rentals. If we stop doing that (which it sounds like Fletcher has finally learned this year), then we can keep adding young talent to our team, and our window can be much longer.
Not that our window for a cup is even open right now.
Brodin, Niederreiter, Granlund, Zucker.
Those are guys I see as trade pieces right now.

Parise-Koivu-Coyle
Zucker-Granlund-Nino
Kaprizov-JEE-Tuch
If Koivu is still our 1C by the time these kids get to the NHL then there's no way in hell we will be Cup contenders.
If Brodin+JEE gets you Laine, you do that.

Absolutely not. Matthews? Sure. Laine? No.
