Hodgson!! Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 If it's Bonino + a pick/prospect + a conditional pick I know Benning said he doesn't want to trade picks, but we're getting a decently young player so it's not that different from picking someone in the draft. Our top 6 would look pretttyy nice with Kadri and would look crazy good if we added another winger..

Pimp C Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 No to Kadri for Bonino as well. Bonino is better and only 2 years older. Makes 1.9m while Kadri will want over 3 most likely. Not worth downgrading from Bonino to Kadri just to get 2 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadendpath Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well than u are silly because Tanev is our number 2 d man- what's harder to get- a number 2 d man or a light weight one dimensional 50 point player Are you an idiot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robongo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Nah. I think we have a similar type of player in Vey, who I believe has enough offensive skills to develop to be nearly as good (if not better, who knows?) as Kadri whilst being better on other aspects of the game. Beside, I would want my second line center to have some strength and grit as well as ability to make plays to put up around 50-60 points in a season; someone like Jordan Staal? Anyhow, I think Horvat will be exactly what we need in a second line center in a year or two anyways. They're not remotely close to the same kind of player. Their frames may be, but Kadri isn't afraid to smoke guys(which he's pretty good at) and his two-way game has come a long way. He also doesn't get first unit PP time to pad his points and usually plays with scrubs. I actually like the way Kadri has been developing a lot, but the asking price isn't something that we can really afford to pay. There's no doubt he's a good 2C currently and is steadily improving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonino is a tweener C that is most likely better suited as a winger, as he proved in his time with Anaheim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Bonino, Sbisa & Markstrom, for... Kadri & Reimer. Move 1 of Reimer/Miller at draft/summer. Also sign O'Connor, if poss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancityBeast Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I can see Higgins and Richardson for Kadri or Higgins and few round picks. Definitely not Tanev, especially when we are losing our defence every 3 games. Anything is possible with Bennings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster6 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 He shouldn't be a #2 Dman he just pairs well with Edler. I do like him though just not sure he's a #2 Dman yet He has the talents, just not quite enough experience or salary to be recognized as an allstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing哥 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Remember last year Benning didn't want to move any defenceman for Garrison unless we recieve a defenseman back in a trade. So im speculating moving a centre for a centre!? Bonino + for Kadri? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I worry about this concept. Toronto is short on centres. Defensive centre's, scoring centre's, crappy centre's. When they want to give up on a "good" young one; I worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The only assets TO has that I want are their 1st, Reilly and Nylander and they would be stupid to move those guys No trade then. Thats all id want from those bums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The only thing I want from Toronto is their top 5 draft pick this year. Otherwise....NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_P Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I live in Toronto so I hear a lot of the media banter and Kadri is not getting moved. Mark Hunter really likes him and a lot of people figure he's goung to be the next GM. Everyone haas a price and the only way Kadri gets moved is if somebody pays HUGE. Not happening.

bobbyg43 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I am no Kadri fan we would be giving up way too much to acquire him he is not the 1 or 2 centre we are looking for I would rather we draft an develop one.Kadri has played more like a 3 c with the leafs no thanks but thanks anyways.I cannot see him play in the western conference he is not built for the west another lets push Philly reall hard for one of their centres, it would be better fit in our conference they are built for the west play kadri will never be a number one guy. he is and always will be a number to at best. atleast bozak has better fo win % he is in the 50's kadri barely makes 40%. he can't take key draws in own end like bozak can. better to start with the puck then without it. Kadri is a puck hog does not use his linemates an takes silly untimely penalties, plays prima dona pp minutes does not have get up an go starter sorry sorry please let this thread die now i will barf my morning coffee if management does a deal for Kadri. There is nothing specactular about Kadri game please please go away again with nonesense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 First of all, thanks for putting words in my mouth. I love it when people do that. Secondly, I believe that Kadri is an upgrade on Bonino, with the potential to become even better than he is. Remember, he's only 24. It's great to speculate what will happen once(if) Horvat has solidified himself as the true No 2 center on this team, but that hasn't happened yet. Besides, there's nothing wrong with a little internal competition. Better yet if we could somehow move Bonino as part of the deal for Kadri. It would give TO a cheap stopgap at the center position while they retool/rebuild. And we don't know what the price would be. At this point, TO's asking price is pure speculation. Kadri is a good, young player, with the potential to get even better. I have no issues with us going after him (for the right price). That being said, if TO targets Horvat, Virtanen, Demko, McCann, or our 1st this year, then forget it. But that's just it. Of course they'll ask for one or two of those guys PLUS a younger roster player. Which is what makes threads like this utterly stupid. But hey, Outsiders and anyone else who create new threads for every two-bit Eklund rumour get to enjoy their five minutes of fame for starting the thread so why would they care.

Mackcanuck Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Horvat will be our 2nd line center next season and Bone will be the 3C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenman92 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The player I see them asking us for is Tanev and I wouldn't do that That really depends on how the contract talks are going. If Tanev wants 5 mil, I'd move him. If he's willing to sign for more in the 3-3.5 range, then you work with him and get that deal done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
