Proposal: Top 4 RD to Utah

[Mosby]

False, he played last game, also new coach and staff. He played good in the top 4 when asked to do so for the Leafs last year. He needs to find consistentcy. But giving away a 25 year old rhd is dumb. He's a top 6 dman at worst in the nhl.

He's scratched again tomorrow.

trouba & vesey for shea weber & a 3rd. utah gains a menacing defender, rags have someone already to replace trouba, will be able to accrue cap space and can put weber on ltir at the deadline to add 7m in playoff mercenaries. utah doesn't have weber on ltir, so it adds about 2m to the cap, leaving 6m in space. would still be near 30m in space at deadline.

Trouba won't waive his No Trade Clause and Utah does not want Vesey.

He really needs a change of scenery. I still think most Leaf fans are holding out hope he finds a groove here; but he almost seems destined to become another Gunnarsson somewhere else (with that sneaky potential of a higher ceiling).

I get PTSD thinking about all the guys the Leafs abandoned too early

And?

Does that discount his great play last year?
Even if he's a 6/7 rn for the Leafs, he's still more valuable to us then giving him away for picks. He could be in the top 4 given injury or if he plays great.

What kind of return are you expecting?

Yes, in a way it does discount his "great play" last year. Healthy scratches generally dont command a lot in a trade.

Maybe TML keep him in the press box all year rather than trade him for a small return. That too can be true.

Cooley for Nemec
Or
Crouse for Hamilton

No.

why would you trade value for an injury replacement? just call someone up, injuries are good for you anyway since it boosts your picks. if you think you're gonna make the playoffs you can have your GM trade us your 1st for mike matheson

You guys can have Jokiharju. Just send us the signing rights to Edgars Kulda.

That sounds like lilligren’s music!
