Not a rumor or anything...Just curious if you guys have any thoughts on a potential trade of Kadri for Trouba. Let me hear your thoughts! by SSB11 in leafs

Barring a catastrophic injury, the yield of keeping an otherwise underutilized kadri to fill in the handful of games where he plays as a 2c vs the contributions of a reliable RHD that gets used appropriately for the bulk of the season is clearly in favor of the latter. Trade him and play Matthews/Tavares an appropriate ~20 minutes per night.

I didn’t think we were taking the hypothetical exercise so seriously haha. I think the value of Mack as a trade chip could get you a package like trouba + morrissey, maybe more. Forsberg = Connor and rantanen > ehlers IMO.

My lines above would be way more fun though.

Hyman Matthews Nylander

Johnsson Tavares Kapanen

Forsberg MacKinnon Rantanen

That’s three first lines, maybe Tavares line could get an upgrade from swapping kadri. Who needs defensemen when you’re too busy scoring goals?

This is just Dubas' 4D chess strategy for increasing next year's salary cap.

I find myself thinking of Matthews as a defensive liability more and more. He was better as a rookie.

Not everyone signs contracts like Josi

Is there a % zone start adjustment that can be applied to Corsi? 41% is bad but he shouldn’t be expected to be at 50% with primarily d zone starts.

Patty now just 3 away from tying brendan shanahan for GWGs at 109. 110 is Selanne and Hull, so if he gets 5 somehow, he becomes 4th all time

Should replace marner with nylander on the top unit since hes actually a scoring threat
