Big deal?


As in many pieces?

Big deal?


As in many pieces?

Big deal as in two potential #1 defenders and 3 blue chip prospects getting dealt

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

The leafs need to improve their defence. Dekyser doesn't bring anything that gardiner can't do, but better. Also the wings aren't going to do this. Pass on both sides

 

[Teeder9]

Who are the three bluechips?

 

[TSN Jdog]

Who are the three bluechips?

Kap was the center piece in the Kessel deal, extremely valuable

Turgeon projects as a top 6 center

Saarijärvi is highly regarded by the Finnish National program as a future top flight defender with a bomb of a shot

 

[iBELEAF]

Gardiner > DeKeyser

Kapenen > Dominic + Vili

Pass

 

[SeaOfBlue]

This seems like a deal that teams would rather just keep what they have. It is unlikely one team wins over the other, but I'm sure the Wings say no first given they give up more pieces

Someone people will call anyone a blue chip prospect. Am I the only one who reserves that for the top end prospects and not just good ones?

None of this is true. Kapanen is a good prospect and certainly better than the other two, but not a bluechip. Turgeon projects as a bottom 6 defensive center and Vili is 5'9 and no defense for a dman. Pretty good on offense though

 

[Stuzchuk]

defensively
DeKeyser >>>>>>>>>>>>> Gardiner
Offensively
Gardiner >>>>>>>>>>>>> DeKeyser
this is a wash...

when it comes to prospect, at first glance I'd take Kapanen over both Red Wings but my gut feelings are calling BUST on all 3... so was there as well.

With all that being said, you now need to look at contracts...
I prefer Gardiner's situation, so Leafs lose that one

 

[Mach85]

Both have draft pedigree, both play on their respective team's top pairings FREQUENTLY and thrive under pressure. Gardiner having the better offensive edge and DD with the better defensive edge.

How does Danny DeKeyser have draft pedigree as a FA signee?

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Don't know a ton about the wing prospects but I'd rather have Gardiner versus Dekeyser so that portion I'm not fond of.

 

[LeafChief]

No thank you.

 

[Quarter]

Big deal?


As in many pieces?

Exactly this, yes.

 

[The Nuge]

I wouldn't call swapping 2nd pairing dmen, who don't really have much room to grow, a big deal. That said, both teams would probably rather stick with their guys

 

[Moncherry]

Big deal as in two potential #1 defenders and 3 blue chip prospects getting dealt

Neither Gardiner or DeKeyser are or ever will be #1 dman and none of those prospects are blue chips.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

I don't think you know what the term blue chip prospect means if you're going to use it on those 3.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Pretty awful for Toronto. Factoring in contracts, Gardiner is a lot more valuable than DeKeyser. Kapanen is still a top 50-60 prospect in the league or so, that's more value than the two Red Wings guys. Not close.

 

[garyturner3]

Not interested whatsoever as a Leafs fan.

 

[Magic Man]

Not even really that close for Toronto.

Turgeon and Vili would be in the 25-35 range of the Leafs prospect pool IMO. Kapanen is in the tier just after the 3 big blue chips.

I'd rather stick with Gardiner then make a move for Dekeyser as well.

 

[Gavy]

Wouldn't take that alone for Gardiner nevermore adding Kapanen. OP hasn't lost his touch for terrible proposals

 

[Tatar Shots]

Wouldn't trade Dekeyser for Gardiner.

 

[Gavy]

Wouldn't trade Dekeyser for Gardiner.

Good thing you're not a GM
