Toronto doesn't need more LHD. Kaplan is just coming into his own. So unless it fills a true need. I would pass.

Petry is a RHD..

 

[Just Linda]

You typod Petry being a LHD. I got what you meant though

Kapanen was worth a lot loss than Lehkonen before the start of the season, I figure his great start leads one to wonder if he's solely the product of elite linemates. I'd figure their value is similiar due to that.

Petry is a legit top pairing D man. He's worth more than the first alone. On top of that, he still is needed badly in Montreal.

Value heavily favours Toronto due to Petry

Legit top pairing on how many teams around the league? The Canadians not having a ton of D depth doesn’t make him a legit top D. Is Hainsey a top pair D because he plays it for the Leafs? No.

 

[Brew]

People think that Kapanen only plays well because of hi linemates, and I get that, but this kid played some time on the PP last year and held a significant role on the Leaf's PK. The kid is 21. I'd wait it out to see what he becomes, which IMO will be a better Carl Hagelin in the future.

 

[xFRaNK]

oh honeyyy... Petry could return that package alone. Stop underrating him. That package could almost return you Nylander

4.5 mil Petry for 3 more years, Lehkonen and a good chance of an early 2nd rounder

early second is almost the same as a late first, so you are saying that kapanen is worth THAT much?

Petry is a legit top pairing D on any team that doesn’t have two star defenseman on their top pair.

I'd say about 25.

It's not the team he plays on that makes him a top D, it's the fact that he's become a legit top pairing D. By nearly every metric, he's become a top pairing D despite playing on not so good teams.

[Dustin]

Doubt the Leafs trade Kap now.

 

[firstemperor]

Easy no for the Leafs. Kapanen isn't a toss in anywhere at this point, he has more value than any 1st and any one prospect in our system.

 

[Sniper99]

Doubt the Leafs trade Kap now.

if they do its probably not to a rival.

 

[sansabri]

We trade/retain on Petry, Lehkonen + 2nd for... a winger and a (most likely) late 1st?

Terrible.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Are you suggesting Petry is a star?

wot m8?

 

[koyvoo]

wot m8?

No, I’m suggesting that the only way he’s not a top pairing D is if a team has two star D in their top pairing, which most teams don’t so he’s a legit top pairing guy on those teams that don’t have two star D men up there.

I'd bet heavily that if available the leafs would be very interested in Petry, however I doubt they'd be willing to deal a key roster part this season given we /they expect to win quite frequently and w luck, in the post season. Thus for me I could see a more future based offer. Like a 1st and decent prospect or maybe a liljgren or Sandin centric offer: something more along those lines. I'm not saying I'd do the above but I'd expect those type of names prospectively brought up rather than kapanen who has looked unreal and at times a game breaker. His speed literally jumps of the page

It's gonna take nothing short of an overpayment. We're competing. Kapanen doesn't fill a need for us, anyway.

 

[Halla]

if the leafs are giving up a kid with a 32g/57pt pace + a 1st, the centrepiece isnt going to be a 31 year old 2nd pairing Dman

 

[Halla]

No, I’m suggesting that the only way he’s not a top pairing D is if a team has two star D in their top pairing, which most teams don’t so he’s a legit top pairing guy on those teams that don’t have two star D men up there.

petry is a #3 at best on a contending team.

on the leafs he would line up alongside Rielly yes, but he would be their 3rd best dman.

Drouin (23): 9g/20pts
Kapanen (22): 10g/18pts
Gallagher (26): 11g/16pts

would you trade Drouin and a 1st for Gardiner,Johnsson, 2nd?

 

[koyvoo]

He’d probably end up playing more than the 22 mins a night Rielly averages. He’s one of my top underrated players league wide.

the leafs under babcock havent rolled a dman much more than 22ish

the leafs just arent giving up kapanen and a 1st for petry. that shipped sailed when kapanen arrived as a young top 6 forward who is one of the top 10 skaters in the league

 

[HandshakeLineRespect]

Kap and a 1st?! Hey that garbage outta here!

Oh I’m not trying to justify the trade proposal necessarily. I’m trying to illustrate Petry’s understated value.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Petry would be perfect for Rielly but no chance we move Kapanen for him.
