"Tough comparable to Parayko cause of the term difference, but if STL was treating it similarly in the sense of just opening money up without eating any or selling at a loss; a comparable cost is literally like Gregor, Timmins, Petruzzelli, and a 3rd."

Would you do it?

Seems like a great pickup. 20 goals and checks the fancy stat boxes too. Fkn Vegas is right

How long is Stone out for?
They'll have cap issue when comes back unless it's playoff time.

What is the opposition to the salary cap being in effect through the playoffs? How many cups won by teams $10-15M over the cap is enough to finally bring about change?!?

Mantha is a big boy. He's sort sitting on the backside of his prime at 29, but still . . . . He's scored 0 goals in 11 career playoff games and you get to pay him $5.7m for that!

But you get him with his size into the Vegas lineup and I guess he's a good option to have in the playoffs - but it's certainly not a lock based on his limited history.

Mantha badly hurt Cousins.

At least half of your roster has to be willing to handle business.

Let’s evaluate the Leafs.

Knies: I can see it
Matthews: Not really
Marner: He might try but will lose
Bertuzzi: Yes
Domi: He’s Ties son
Nylander: Lol
Jarnkrok: Unlikely
Tavares: No. Weak ass leader.
McMann: Probably
Robertson: Might try but’ll lose
Kampf: Nope
Reavo: 😈
Rielly: Yes
Brodie: Pathetic
Liljegren: I think he has a scrap?
Benoit: My man
McCabe: My guy
Gio: Absolutely
Lybushkin: I think so?

Who would the Leafs want to replace Keefe with? Has to be a coach that can take this team to the next level. Bernie? My choice would’ve been Quennville before the Kyle beach stuff

With the Leafs available cap space, you don't gamble on Mantha though. We could use toughness everywhere, but Mantha isn't typically a tough guy - he can handle himself fine though. But if we have one decent-sized trade available at the TDL, I wouldn't have made it Mantha for us.

Not sure who’s available. I hope they get someone tho.

That’s funny - I wasn’t thinking moving Knies in deal but about to type: I like Knies but I would much rather see how Crouse would roll with 34 and Marner for the Leafs.

Moving Knies is easy. He’s fine as a player. But he’s had top line minutes almost all year with superstars and is 11th in rookie scoring. I’m glad we have him but he’s replaceable

Ya man I can see that. If you could get Crouse o would move knies all day. I would do business in one spot if I were Tre. Grab a dman from there as well. Go bigger like Durzi (would need to add pieces to get Yotes to retain on Crouse if the case) or even Brown. I get Brown isn’t a big deal or a game changer by any means but still a right shot plays hard tough and would bring so egging a dman like Lily for instance can’t bring on a bottom pair.
Sometimes you need to do what you can. If getting to add a forward piece means maybe not shooting huge on D like a Paryko or a bigger name and settling for Brown & Boosh to add the physical type that’s lacking on right side I think it’s still better into playoffs personally.

"Tough comparable to Parayko cause of the term difference, but if STL was treating it similarly in the sense of just opening money up without eating any or selling at a loss; a comparable cost is literally like Gregor, Timmins, Petruzzelli, and a 3rd."

Would you do it?

I like Timmins and Gregor but I feel this is an easy deal to make as a leaf.

However, for the fans who think the leafs have no prospects and cupboards are bare, I suppose they would say no.
