Proposal: PIT and TOR

[OCPenguin]

Crosby
Jarry
McGinn

for

Nylander
Mrazek
Kerfoot
1st
Robertson

Why on earth would Pittsburgh do this?

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Lol I didn’t see the Crosby at first and was about to say this was probably the worst trade proposal I’ve seen

I don’t think Crosby gets traded, he’s retiring in Pittsburgh

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Agreed. Not going into the additional pieces here but this isn't NHL 2022 where you can trade your 34 year old HOF that is on the downswing for a 25 year old on the upswing.

Crosby is an all timer, but his value is more to Pittsburgh for what he has delivered and built there historically than it would be to a team like Toronto that is trying to win now.

Actually, wouldn't adding Crosby be exactly what a team that wants to *win now* want?

Because Robertson and a 1st do Toronto absolutely nothing with regards to "win now".

As a Pens representative....we accept. ... add a 6th

 

[LeafChief]

Lmao no

Why do Leafs fans think the guys they try to dump in every proposal have value?

Why do fans of other teams assume anytime a thread is posted about the Leafs, it's started by a Leafs fan?

Look at the OPs post history.

I agree Nylander, Robertson and 1st have zero value. Potential buyout candidates.

Counter..

Matthews and marner and a 2nd Casey demsith

 

[HolyCrap]

I think the lesson to be learned here is that some proposals are not done by a fan of one of the teams involved. I can’t believe this needs to be explained.

Counter..

Matthews and marner and a 2nd Casey demsith

it would be a valid counter in 10 years when Matthews is the same age that Crosby is now.

Posting a revenge counter-offer is never funny.

Not revenge ...just have to deal with stupid inna certain kinda way!!

Matthews is elite and the best pure goal scorer in the game today ( although Ovie doesn't stop) but to get sid on the leafs would make them a top cup contender instantly and wouod require a massive pay day for the pens....the color of the sky in this world remains to be seen

Crosby would do nothing to help the defensive lapses by the Leafs defense which is often the main reason they surrender goals. ...as scary as it sounds, moreso than the other team 'earning' them.

Crosby is widely recognized as one of the best 2 way centers in the game. He plays both sides of the ice. You are completely wrong. His presence alone would improve them and his stellar play on both sides of the puck only makes them better .

 

[CupcakeSprinkles]

Tbh I’d rather keep Nylander than use him in a package for Crosby

 

[Suntouchable13]

If I want to "win now" I'd take today's Crosby over any current Leaf player. Not talking about future, talking about 2021 and 2022 playoffs. Obviously if you trade a big package for Crosby your window shrinks, but you'd have a great shot to win in the next couple of years.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

No

Exactly how we feel with the original offer lol

 

[LucicAndChong]

i wonder why people on this board hate us leafs fans so much.

and then I see stuff like this.

WERE NOT ALL THIS BAD. SOME OF US ARE RATIONAL

Leafs could add Crosby, and Bergeron, and Toews etc, and none of that will stop a defenseman from giving the puck away in a danger spot, and a 3 second goal.

Neither could tampa Boston Vegas Colorado etc...point is adding any of those especially crosby instantly turns the leafs into a favorite

 

[FerrisRox]

Sure sure and the Oilers will trade us McDavid and Dreisitl for Simmonds.

That seems like an overpay for Simmonds. If the Oilers really wanted him, I think they could get him without having to give up both of Draisaitl and McDavid.
