Proposal: NYR-TOR

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Why would the NYR do that?

 

[ACC1224]

I've updated the trade offer.

How about Steeves + 6th round pick 22' for Rangers' 4th round pick.

Lay off the coco puffs, that's even worse.

I think Steeves stole that dude's girlfriend.....he really wants him gone.

I don't think his game will ever translate to the NHL.

There's lots of 22 year old PPG AHL players, we could sign some for free and trade them for value.

The way I see it, it's a robbery of a trade for us.

Ok, i watch pretty much every Marlies game....so tell me what i'm missing, what about his game do you not see translating to the NHL?

Shouldn't your goal be to make a proposal that is fair for both sides? You know, if you want the other side to agree to it and all.

If it's that easy to sign 22 year old PPG AHL players for free, then the Rangers will just do that instead of giving the leafs a 2nd round pick.

Wait, so now the Leaf's are only getting a 4th rounder for a PPG AHL player AND they get to throw in an extra 6th rounder? You must really think this guy is going to flame out and never make the NHL.

It only makes marginal sense if everyone shared your view of Steeves progression. A Rangers 4th for the possibility he becomes depth in the NHL, and they get a 6th rounder back. From Toronto's side though there's just no point to trade this guy to begin with as he's producing well in the AHL and is still a cheap asset that can potentially crack the roster as a depth piece. If there were off ice issues or something of note maybe I could see Toronto being interested in moving him, but I've never heard a peep about Steeves before today so it's probably not the case.

Alex Steeves is 18th in AHL-Rookie-Point-Per-Game-Scoring this year, there are many 18-20 year olds (who are younger than him) out producing him by a fair margin.

I've updated the trade, Leafs will be giving up Steeves along with a 6th round pick, in exchange for the Rangers' 4th round pick.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

It's his first year as a pro. Rather keep him than mystery box 4th round and we give up a 6th? Why

He's 13th in rookie scoring, 4 points out of top 10....He has 6 points in his last 5 games, 10 points in his last 10.

But not upgraded it.

And you want to be my latex salesman…

That poster is also wrong, he's 13th in rookie scoring. Not that i am pushing any trade....just posting for accuracy.

 

[Knies iT]

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.

Why the hell would the Leafs develop Steeves only to throw him away a year later for a mystery box pick?

How many 2nd rounders go PPG in the AHL in their 21 year old season? Not to mention he’s already been given NHL games so your prediction is based on nothing.

You don’t trade ready-made ELC contributors to recoup mid round picks for the sake of it what is this logic.

 

[eco's bones]

Why would the NYR do that?

I’d guess so the Rangers could have the guy whose games doesn’t translate to being an NHL player.

Anyone interested in Jake Elmer?

 

[Menzinger]

No interest in trading Steeves for a draft pick from the Leafs pov

I mean we don't know that he can't be an NHL player but even still that's ridiculous

I really don’t know the player that well to comment. I was just working off the threadstarters remark that he didn’t really have an NHL future. If he thinks the player is junk why does he think he can get something of value for him?

 

[AvroArrow]

Why the f*** would we do this ?

 

[Tarmore]

I've updated the trade offer.

How about Steeves + 6th round pick 22' for Rangers' 4th round pick.

Straight out trolling now

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

His game doesn't really translate to the NHL...

So, we want to recuperate picks for him while we still can.

So... other teams don't know that?

 

[seanlinden]

The concept of "Steeves for a draft pick" makes absolutely no sense.

Prospects get used as currency, but they get used as currency for NHL players. They rarely get used as currency for each other, and never get used as currency for picks.

The ONLY reason for the Leafs to trade Steeves is to get an NHL player / upgrade. If, after a year or two, maybe he flatlines, then you look at moving him in a "change of scenery deal", but he's excelled in his first pro season.

I meant to say 18th in Rookie Point-Per-Game scoring.

So, as you can see, he's nothing special, just your average player who probably never plays a full NHL season.

Trust me, that 4th round pick is a great return.
