I couldn't give less of a shit about a 1st rounder right now. Dubas better parlay that into something, what that is I 've no idea.
Well the pick holds its own value and that said there is still time to trade one if Kerfoot or Engvall, but right now sandin was not going to get ice time for a while so basically useless to the team. Kerfoot and Engvall will get ice time, they may not score but they pk and are very responsible so they add something. Can they be replaced? Yup. Will they? Let's see but it has to be an upgrade Imo or else why bother?
 
It's all about Round 1

If we win and go on the run we've all been waiting for then no ones upset

If we get out early again. Then dubas probably loses his job

GO leafs GO
 
I think this may have been another case of Dubas doing a player a solid when they aren't going to get the minutes they want and/or were promised.

After the McCabe trade the writing was on the wall

You have to think something else is brewing here. Does he take Rielly's spot on the PP or will he be on the second unit? Who does he replace on the top 6?

And the 1st round pick, gotta think he will use it to acquire another asset.
 
Bullshit. Absolutely hate this. God forbid you move Kerfoot. God forbid you move Engvall. God forbid you not only don't move Holl, but you take him out of a top four role.
There’s at least one more move coming. I believe Kerfoot will be involved. Possibly Aston-Reese as well.
 
How much of a difference is there in the advanced stats department between Timmins and Sandin?
From what I saw Timmins is very good and dumping the puck in with a very high retrieval rate, maybe the highest in the team. Other than that all I can remember is that he's pretty equal to sandin if not slightly ahead in most areas

He probably never plays.

Rielly, Brodie, Gio, McCabe, Liljegren, Holl, Timmins
 
Sandin played mostly sheltered minutes and graded well analytically because of that. He's good at exiting the zone and is creative enough to be useful in the offensive zone. He always showed a desire to be physical but had physical limitations that were routinely exposed against teams with heavier forechecks (Bruins, Blues, Islanders, Tampa, etc) He is not crafty enough to be a good enough defender given his physical make-up. Between the two, Liljegren has always been the stronger prospect.

Also, and maybe it has nothing to do with the reasoning behind the move, but given the minor contractual hold-out in the summer, this registers as more of an authoritative move by Dubas. It rebuilds/establishes credibility among some detractors/peers/agents who feel he's caved in previous contract negotiations.

These are the pairings at practice today:

Mo Holl
Brodie McCabe
Gio Lily
Yeah I forgot about Gio, but Gustafsson looks like he's a pretty good offensive d man which could be good on the 3rd pair or Dubas plans to move him or Holl.
 
Yeah I mean Garland for 4 years at 2.4 would be pretty unreal. Doubt Vancouver is willing to retain for that much term anyways and I actually really want to see what our scouts can do with this 1st as well.
If it's true that Vancouver is seriously thinking about buying him out, asking them to retain isn't THAT far-fetched. Retained salary would be both for less money and for less term than a buyout.
