Speculation: Would Bozak + Komorav + JVR for Tavares go through?

[Jordan Belfort]

So I’ve heard a lot of people saying that the Leafs will regress because they lost these three players. Using that logic that must mean that these three players are worth more than Tavares.


So in speculation, would the Isles accept this trade of Komarov, Bozak, and JVR for Tavares?( assuming this was a year ago.)

IMO you consolidated three middling scorers into one elite one

only problem feasibly is the cap but the leafs can easily work around that

I don't understand why anyone would want the trio over JT unless they really really needed PK help

That’s fair. Good response.

Did we not have the option to trade these three players for picks and then flip the picks for let's say a good top 4 defender that we need? Seems like that would have been a pretty good alternative, no?

I’m asking straight value for value if this trade would be a fair one

 

[rent free]

No. If the leafs offered that to the islanders, they would be denied easily.

Your fishing for some 'expected' answer for whatever reason. I get that. That didn't seem particularly interesting to me.

I was talking about something that had a larger chance of happening for a team that declared it was doing a rebuild and wanting fans to have patience.

 

[SI90]

No absolutely not.


Close thread.

I asked if the Isles would accept the trade. Of course you could flip those guys. The answer would be yes or no, with a reason why. So of course I expect one of those two answers because they are the only answers to the question.

Those people don’t realize that all of those voids that we’re created had people to fill them. The marlies were great last year and have several guys ready to jump up. I’m not saying they’ll match JVR and bozak’s production, but they will help fill those voids around the three headed monster(Matthews-Tavares-Kadri).

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

No. It wouldn't go through for McDavid either, even though they had more combined points than him. That's not how it works at all.

 

[Thrasymachus]

I don’t think this is supposed to be a trade proposal but a question of the players comparative value

Am I correct op?

Yes. You are correct.

2 quarters and a dime don't equal 75 cents

Nothing worse than a thread that starts with "So I've heard a lot of people saying.."

 

[GodEmperor]

Yes it would, Tavares is an overrated sociopath that can barely skate and will backstab you the first chance he gets:

JVR nearly scored 40, elite powerplay production
Bozak, elite two way center, excellent faceoff guy, generational shootout shooter, also great locker room person
Komarov, pure grit personified, absolute sand paper, PK BEAST and total heart and soul

Judas Tavares meanwhile starts off playing well and then quits on the team because he didn't want to get them to the playoffs and then leave

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I think Leafs are gonna miss JVR and Bozak... Dont get me wrong, obviously getting JT was massive but losing both of those guys will be interesting to see next year.

I consider Leafs still roughly the same ish as last year as far as standings go.... If they can snag a dman or 2, then ill be a believer in them becoming a contender... But as of now, i still will be curious if they can get past the 1st round just due to the fact they will most likely be playing an unreal team again(will be a 7 game battle forsure)

But having said that, there are very exciting times ahead for this squad and hopefully they can cause some damage in next few years

On this site...and in reality, that offer would be laughed at. JVR has value, but he is very 1 dimensional, Bozak is a great 3C/decent but not great 2C and Komarov doesn't hold much value. No way that package would land Tavares.

Problem is a lot of people have actually been saying this



without realizing how insanely ridiculous it is to compare 3 players combined production versus 1.

Interesting response. I appreciate this response as it does put some things into perspective

If anything "I've heard a lot of people saying" that the Leafs are still not a "top Cup contender" (with no use of the word regress) because of their questionable defense and semi questionable goaltending.

 

[Brobust]

It's actually JVR + Bozak + Komarov + Polak.

Don't know how the leafs can survive.

How about don't try and derail the thread. There's 1000000 other threads that are happy to discuss the Leafs allegedly terrible defense.

The point of this thread is to demonstrate the pure stupidity of those 3 former Leafs carrying anywhere close to the value of Tavares. Don't you agree it's doing such?

Meh. The idea that the leafs have somehow taken a step back by losing both jvr and bozak for Tavares has been mentioned multiple times that I have read.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Funny, that's the exact kind of offer Leafs fans used to make for Tavares (and other #1 C).
