Make it stop.

Deflate gate is about as well established as bigfoot

One is also playing in the top 6 on one of the most offensively potent teams in the league while the other is playing limited minutes in the bottom six on the Canucks. Cap is such a commodity right now I think you're basically looking at apples and oranges. Fair value you probably have to add a bit if you identified you wanted Nylander (from a Canucks perspective) but that cap hit throws anything close to fair value out the window. I don't know that there are any good trade partners for the Leafs in this case simply because of the cap issue. It will be interesting to see if a trade happens!

I think it would actually be a fair trade given the fact Nylander’s cap hit is 6.9. I actually wouldn’t make it given the cap situation.

Just trade Virtanin and Eriksson for Ekblad and be done with it

Yes, but..... a strong argument could be made that money could have been spent better at times. Hindsight is 20/20 though.

I think this is a good assessment. What is encouraging to me is that Benning seems to be learning from the signings that were on the hefty side.... like it or not I think it's a large part of the reason two ageing veterans who were at the end of their primes are no longer Canucks.

No kidding. Wowsa lol.

Nailed it!

FTFY

I mean I'd personally use the word to describe 3 players currently in the league....

Man, I can't believe Bergevin still has a job after such a big swing and a miss with a top end draft pick

Hughes needs it

I’ve really appreciate OJ’s ability to step up and break up a play by taking the body.... seeing happen to The Turtle was a thing of beauty on a whole different level lol.

Can someone caption OJ standing over the Turtle with something cheeky about draft position.....? :p

Myers?????

OJ has mad vision.

OJ for president.

Owen Powers

It’s crazy. I don’t think saying we can give this team a pass is quite right, but I mean..... the deck has been more stacked against them than I think we often are willing to recognize

I mean....... I think we can have patience with his struggles

The resemblance to Matthews is uncanny...

Is there room for some middle ground here?????

If he can bring back a young top 4 d than I’m not opposed.... if he can’t than I think there’s more value keeping him. Given the worth of defence.... I’m guessing there’s more value in keeping him lol.
