I have no issue with the statement you quoted that Lazar is a 3rd liner/average or whatever (he is still 21 though), but yeah, this is a case of 'bird in hand vs 2 birds in the bush'.
The leafs don't really need any more lottery tickets, they have enough young sure shots, they need to surround those guys with a good (still young) supporting cast, that can be signed at reasonable amounts, then things will become scary.
Where did you hear derMott has improved greatly and would do better in a .ale believe redraft? Also please list the players he would surpass and reasons.
Should I replace Lazar with JGP?I kid
What do you think about it value wise?
This is ATROCIOUS for Ottawa and I'm not a fan of either team.
A 5'9, 22 year old forward 3rd rounder who's played 6 NHL games
A 5'11, 22 year old forward 6th rounder who's played 7 NHL games
A 5'11, 19 year old defenceman 2nd rounder who hasn't progressed much from his draft year
FOR!!!!???
A 6'0, 21 year old forward 1st rounder who has played 143 NHL games
A 6'3, 22 year old defence (right shot) 1st rounder who has played 205 NHL games
Any Leaf fan(s) who DON'T state this is a total rip for the Sens have ZERO credibility.
This is a really bad analysis of the trade. Draft order doesn't really mean much after a few years, it's about development and how players will project over time, also amount of NHL games played does not automatically make one player better than another.

I think you missed the point if that's all you have to say about that post.
The point of the piece was that its irrelevant who people said he played with because he will be afforded the opportunity to play with good players on the Leafs. It was a deflector tone, but thanks for coming out.

Right now Lazar isn't anything more than an average 3rd liner, and I really like the player. He has to show this year he has more at the NHL. I believe he can, but so far he hasn't proven more.
As for Brown for Ceci, I take that deal in a heart beat as a Leafs fan. Young RHD dmen with upside are extremely hard to acquire, as EDM. I am a big fan of Ceci, and would be a steal for Brown alone.

We need defensemen that can play, and Ceci can play if you've ever watched him.
No there isn't. 10 years from now, if all of these players in playing in the NHL and have been doing for the 5 years leading up to that, I will delete my account.
It's never going to happen Karen.

I don't get why Ottawa would accept. They have a bunch of guys who are entering their prime. I don't get why they'd give up one of those to get younger. It would only make sense to do that for a goalie.

Chiasson has turned out pretty good right? I would not hold too much stock in a late season call up

CF% isn't exportable to all teams or all situations.
- bottom pairing partner
- high defensive zone starts
- bad defensive team
Any one of the 3 would hurt a players CF%. Ceci had all 3 last season.

If you think finishing bottom of the league year after year guaruntees you becoming a cup contender you may want to do some research.
We will keep it. You can keep your future first round exits as well until Karlsson slows down or your owner decides he doesn't want to pay Karlsson. Whichever comes first.
Until you guys get an owner who is willing to spend money, you guys won't win anything. Which is too bad because I moved to Ottawa and would love to go to a late round playoff game
It doesn't, you're right. But drafting players who are breaking records in their respective junior leagues and the AHL and drafting franchise centreman... Ya that'll help us be on our way to becoming cup contender.
Enjoy next year because it'll be the last year you finish ahead of the Leafs for a while.
Who didn't we pay? Enlighten the world as we'd love to know.
P.S. I have no love lost for our owner
Please look around at the demographic and also remember we got a team in 1992. It really isn't that tough to figure out.
It's actually more of the young crowd wearing Habs stuff and older crowd wearing old sens shirts etc.
Granted I haven't been here long at all.
Nice try, though
The analysis is fine. It shows bigger, younger, better pedigree NHL players for players who have are on their last chance to even become NHL regulars.
