Value of: Jared Spurgeon to the Leafs at the draft.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

We know Toronto is looking for a D man, and Minnesota apears to be open for business with the trades of Granlund and Nino, and Zucker being available Minnesota is clearly reshaping theroster.

Jared Spurgeon i somebody I think has to be on Toronto's list of defensive targets.

Spurgeon has 1 year left on his deal what would he realistically cost

 

[FameFlame069]

Too much, walk away with your dignity.

 

[Spurgeon]

Nylander

Nylander

For 1 year ? be realistic

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

For 1 year ? be realistic

They don’t want what your “realistic” offer is going to be, not should they. Spurgeon is really good.

 

[Spurgeon]

For 1 year ? be realistic

1 year for you maybe. All indications point towards him re-signing here so why the hell would we sell him at a 1 year rental price?

 

[Meeqs]

Spurgeon is really good so if you look at recent history Min will move him to Tor for Zaitsev lol

 

[DigitalBoldy]

For 1 year ? be realistic

Ahhh, I see what you’re doing here. Classic.

 

[Bazeek]

Until there's some sign that either side doesn't want an extension he's not really available. If a team offered a very good, young top 6 center I think we'd have to consider it, but failing that we can assume he stays put for now.

Haven't we gone over this? If Spurgeon is being moved, it won't be to the Leafs.

Fenton is that you?

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Seeking to arbitrarily deflate value, are we?

There's no reason for MIN to trade him at a discount because you're unwilling to take on an expiring contract. All signs point to Spurgeon wanting to re-sign with the Wild, so his contract status will have zero impact on the return, if he's traded at all.

The original poster probably didn’t realize you all had a meeting and he wasn’t invited the first time. Maybe he had something to do that day. Like work or something.

Funny, but he's right. This topic has been beaten to death for almost a year now. Until we get some news about Spurgeon's extension there's not much we can do but rehash the same arguments.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Yeah, let’s get smaller

I get it. Easiest thing to do is not come into the thread or respond. Just move along. Not everyone comes here in a daily basis.

Nah he isn't wrong. If you sign and trade sure take willy. But aint no one taking the risk of trading for a ufa. Just because his value to you is higher because chances are he signs with you, that doesn't not mean it is transferable to another team he isnt connected to and is taking the risk of re-signing. Hey signed spurgeon? Sure. Unsigned? Pound sand.

 

[Field of Dreams]

Minnestota doesn't want to trade him. Leafs want longer term. Doesn't seem like a great fit.

 

[57special]

TOR fan proposes Spurgeon deal. MN fans say no. TOR fans berate MN fans.

Shocker.

That’s fine, until we know he isn’t interested in signing long term MN is more than fine keeping him. If something changes then we can restart talks.

 

[Seanaconda]

What cap can the leafs move to even afford him plus signing their rfas

 

[Kupo]

Spurgeon is a legitimate #1 dmen. It’ll hurt if you want someone of his caliber.

 

[57special]

If Spurgeon is moved it's likely to PHI, who has a GM who knows and loves Spurgeon. I also suspect that Spurgeon thinks well of Fletcher, the guy who basically discovered him and made his pro career. Second logical destination would be EDM, as he goes home there in the summer and would be a relatively easy re-sign, but EDM would have to figure out how to make the cap work.

Most Canadians would be happy to re up in TOR, and Spurgeon strikes me as anything but a prima donna, so would probably sign for a reasonable but fair rate for a top 30 RHD, but nothing TOR has to offer moves the needle for me, especially for such a wonderful player as Spurgeon.

Now, if Marner talks bog down, we can talk, but if TOR can't sign him then he is probably going to want to be paid north of 11m... that would give anyone pause.

Thats the smart way to do it. Leafs fans not wanting to pay full value for a signed spurgeon are silly and minny fans wanting full value for unsigned spurg are silly. That's all im saying.
