Rumor: [Garrioch] Toronto "Kicking Tires" on Tyler Myers

Disgusting. Kerfoot is absolutely useless to us, so that has to be one hell of a pick for us to retain 6 million dollars over this year and next.
That kind of dead cap cost you lot a first to dump Marleau not that long ago. Just saying.
Kerfoot has negative value to the Canucks. He'd be a 4th line center or a 3rd line winger. Sending him our way would cost Toronto assets.

Sweet, he doesnt have negative value to the leafs so sending him for Myers at any % retained is going to cost assets from Vancouver.

LOL i just read the first half of your post. Marleau at 6.25 for a full season cost a first to give up, kerfoot at 3.5 for less than a full season, while being a 50 point player (which marleau no longer was) is not the same.
I see theres not much point to conversing with you, since you change facts to pretend your guy is more valuable, when really hes just a 6 million dollar boat anchor for the rest of this season and another full season.
Guess you could send us your 1st rounder with him and we can take him for Kerfoot, who i imagine would be your number 2 center after you trade away all your pending UFA's and everyone not on millers side of the dressing room.

That garbage outscored Boeser last year, bet you hope for the moon for him in a trade though

He is a flawed d-men and won't move the needle. He can skate alright for a big guy... But that's about it. TOR would be better off going 4 a shutdown defensive d-man
Myers would be a good add for the Leafs.
The challenge with Myers is that he 1) is paid too much for his ability 2) He plays far too many minutes 3) He plays against all teams top lines.
With some retention, and a more sheltered role, I could see Myers excelling in Toronto.

I don't think he's the answer for the Leafs I believe Luke Schen would be a much more desirable target for them . Dubas should purge any and all thoughts of acquiring Myers from his hockey addled mind and concentrate on adding to overall team toughness and maybe improving his goaltending situation if thats even possible .
For context here's the article this comes from.
There’s also been talk the Vancouver Canucks are willing to move defenceman Tyler Myers and the Leafs have been among the teams kicking tires there.

under the scrutiny of Toronto media there is no hope. They're all over Holl every other game. He needs to go to a market where the media wont highlight his mistakes quite as much. He's not a horrible 5th dman.

Wouldnt be able to get that with how our defense is deployed. He would have to outbattle Holl (which is debatable) and be a big improvement on the PK and in a defensive shutdown role, which i doubt happens. He is obviously better than Holl with the puck though but thats not enough to save him from our media and fans.

We have a bunch of 3rd pair LDs and a couple of needs....
Rielly Liljegren
________ Brodie
Giordano _______
Benn Holl
We have Sandin available and a need for a top 4 LD and bottom pair RD if we want to be playoff ready.

Even free with retention he'd be redundant because Toronto has ample guys to play 3rd pair. They should just spend what it takes for a legit top 4 guy and try to lock him up for a few years.

As much as I want Garrioch wiped from all things Senators he is pretty connected to Pierre Dorion and others in the sens back offices. If rumour of a trade spilled there someone could leak it to Bruce. He isn't connected to Freidman/Mackenzie levels but he is still pretty connected.

Sadly, I can see it after thinking about it. My first reaction was our RD is set. Then I remembered they have been playing Brodie on LD due to the shortage of quality players there and he's been excellent. So I don't think the Leafs are stuck on a LD or RD, just the best D they can get and they swap around players to make it work.
So what do the Leafs need? Well someone to replace most of these qualities we lose in Muzzin
- A solid Pker
- Physicality along the boards and net
- A leader with cup experience
- Take hard minutes and dzone draws
- A dman who actually contributes points 5v5 and has a good point clapper
Welp, he is big and can skate so I can see the physical attributes they would want, and he plays a lot of PK and takes a lot of dzone starts. He can also produce points.
Dubas has never once gone out and gotten the #1 guy available. He always tries to bargain shop and get guys who maybe were miscast or they think a different role might help. So this makes sense. If he is able to get them to retain 50%, Myers for this year and next @ 3M probably is fair even if he is nothing more than a #5 and expires before Sandin/Liljegren need new deals.
I'd say a pair of 2nd's or a 2nd and 3rd and B prospect, this makes sense. Prob not getting a clearly better dman for less. And it leaves the first and top prospects available along with ~ 2.5 of cap space to make another deal up front.

Huh? They were a top 10 defensive team last year and are top 10 in every category this year despite missing 2 top 4 D 90% of the year and being on their 5th and 6th string goalies lol
