Proposal: Dermott for Pesce

[MattMartin]

How about Toronto throws in Zaitsev

 

[FerrisRox]

I don't think it's clear, it will be clear after next year when Dermott slots into the second D pairing after Gardiner's departure. Dermott is 22 in only his first full season. At the end of the day the Canes only lose out because they don't need D.

It's crystal clear. Pretending otherwise is the height of delusion.

Toronto saying no... You do know that Pesce is already their #1D right ?

I think Slavin is their number #1

 

[BB88]

These just keep getting worse.

 

[TheCLAM]

Did you give any thought into what CAR's needs are? Any idea why they'd even entertain trading away Pesce?...hmmm...no.

Awful proposal.

They need a LHD and forward depth.

Slavin/De Haan are there LHD

The biting is good, eh OP?

Almost have identical stat lines - value is there. Sure I get the Hurricanes want a forward.. Value for Value? It's pretty close

Slavin and Pesce are both at the same level, Pesce is just more defensive with a +20
BEtter Ceiling imo with Pesce

 

[TheCLAM]

Doesn't really help the Canes much.

Infact, they get worse and save money that they don't need to save.

Not about saving money at all, it's about getting a LHD. Carolina has a huge surplus of RHD.

I get this type of deal goes against the grain from a Carolina perspective because you're dead set on a forward.

No way any Carolina or hockey fan is going to agree with this statement. I don't think you realize how good Slavin is..

RNH for Auston Matthews
Same stat line, value for value.

or

Patrice Bergeron for Auston Matthews +

2 levels of crazy here:

A) Leafs fans...Dermott is not as good as Pesce right now. This does make the Canes worse because it crowds their left side towards the bottom pairing and makes them weaker overall because they lose top end RD strength. They would not do this all things being equal even.
B) Leafs haters...I get you hate the Leafs and no Leafs players will ever be good...I'll end it here

Verdict;

Poor proposal, but I understand the effort from Toronto's perspective because Dermott's subjective trajectory is similar to Pesce, he could be better, or worse...But why would Carolina ever do this???

Have you seen Pesce stats ? Just the +20 is more than exceptional

 

[2022 Stanley Cup]

Dermott is the immediate future of the Leafs defense so no. I like Pesce and would like him on the team but not for Dermott. I also like Dermott's style of play in pushing offense over Pesce's more conservative style.

Soo... we're evaluating these guys' value based on points? This thread makes a lot more sense now.

Not about saving money at all, it's about getting a LHD. Carolina has a huge surplus of RHD.

I get this type of deal goes against the grain from a Carolina perspective because you're dead set on a forward.

Ahh yes, going with the "thinking outside of the box" angle.

LOL this is ridiculous
