Proposal: NYR-TOR
- Thread starter 2legit2quit
- Start date
Leafs need elc contributors now so it doesn't make sense to trade steeves who should be in the line up this year or next.
I don't know the player, but could you explain the reasoning behind the trade? Why does Toronto give up a young guy producing near PPG in the AHL this season for a draft pick?

On this board you will get lots of Steeves is better than that, he would be a first rounder in a redraft, etc. etc. But the value is probably close. Maybe remove the 4th so there’s more risk on the Rags - but this seems about right for a guy that went point per game in his last college year and is having similar production in the AHL in his first pro season
Leafs will continue to need ELC players with our cap situation, Steeves is almost PPG in the AHL. I wouldn’t deal him just for a 2nd….I would include him as a piece in a deal for a player we need now…
Toronto needs productive players on ELCs as much as any team in the league. If he is any good they should not be trading him for picks.
His game doesn't really translate to the NHL...
So, we want to recuperate picks for him while we still can.

No need for NYR, they have Morgan Barron if they want to use a young recent-NCAA C

So why would anyone give you a second rounder for a guy you don't even think will be a player?

From the company that brought you Jeremy Bracco…
I take it you’re not in sales.
Why would the Rangers do this?

Kinda seems like he wants NYR to assume the risk that maybe he becomes an NHL player based on his evaluations, but how many teams are giving up 2nd round draft picks or more for players who aren't even in the NHL full time yet? Most teams seem to be using them as TDL chips to bolster the roster with a proven player. It just doesn't make much sense.

We gave up two 2nds for Fox. Seemed to work out ok. I think we will save the pick for another one of those kind of deals.
He would be in a deal with a + from Toronto for a top 4 physical RHD with term. So probably not good trading partners with the Rangers.
The Fox deal is a one of a kind thing. How many go the College route and then refuse to sign with the team that drafted them? Let alone get traded a second time before they've signed an ELC. I get the idea behind the statement, but Norris trophy winning ELC dmen don't just fall off trees for second round picks. Fox wanted to play in New York and made it happen.
I've updated the trade offer.
How about Steeves + 6th round pick 22' for Rangers' 4th round pick.

I mean, you gotta give up value to get value in return.
We're short on draft picks, we need to recuperate by giving up our expandable assets.
I don't think Steeves will ever become an NHLer so this is a done deal for me.
