Yup. People need to give Engvall a chance. These last 10 games or so he has started to look much better.

Everyone says that and dont realize you are allowed to make more than 1 trade.
Hope it's not Hall, and don't think it is either.
But you're right, Hall will be had for something like a 2nd+5th or something minor.

Oh, I'm aware you can make multiple moves, you just dont see them as much around the deadline. It usually happens in the off-season. I'd actually prefer Ullmark over Hall and it would make more sense given we could include Andersen.

So, so dumb. Why not move him and re-sign in the summer?

That would require savvy management, of which Benning is incapable of.

Probably Pearson saying what if I break a leg? Contract is guaranteed now, take it!
Please no Hall, he would be like William H Macy in "The Cooler". The only guys I would be interested in are Foligno and Savard and there will be too much competition for Savard.
I say leave it alone, there's something to be said for team chemistry - something Hall may tamper with, especially if they give up a roster player.
No Hall.

What is up with obsession with foligno? You'd think this guy is one of the best power forwards in the league the way people want him so badly

Insider Trading: Hall market heating up, but Leafs not in the mix
Was the Panthers' trade with the Blackhawks just an appetizer for a bigger move? What's going on in the Taylor Hall sweepstakes? As the NHL's trade deadline creeps closer, TSN Hockey Insiders Pierre LeBrun, Darren Dreger and Frank Seravalli discuss the latest rumours around the league in Insider Trading.

Exactly. I'll never understand it. The guy doesn't produce any offense at this point in his career. His already less than ideal skating is further on the decline and he's prone to dumb penalties.
If somebody can please explain to be what Nick Foligno adds to Toronto's bottom six, other than a couple of faceoff wins, that Zack Hyman doesn't when Toronto lands a LW to play with Matthews and Marner, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I've said it numerous times. The best addition to Toronto's bottom 6 is currently on the roster. When you insert a plug and play, bonafide, top 6 LW to the Matthews line, you free up Hyman to reunite the HEM line, a unit he already has chemistry with you. It also provides you the flexibility to insert him with Tavares and Nylander should the Galchenyuk experiment not work out, because you know Hyman has chemistry with them as well.
By adding to the bottom 6, you force Hyman onto the Matthews line. By adding somebody to play with Matthews and Marner, you free Hyman up to play all over the lineup to re-enforce whatever line needs help.

That tax advantage after the league screwed teams like us. All for "parity" and "equality".
Am I greedy to want a 3C and a top 6 LW?
Everyone just slots in better. Hyman on the 3rd line with a defensive C who is good on draws. That's the dream.
Move Engvall to 4th line LW. Jumbo can be the 13th F get him a game here and there.

No you're not.
Iafallo or Schwartz or Hall or Rakell AND Laughton please.
Kerfoot can get shipped out and Engvall and Spezza can share 4C responsibilities. Jumbo sits and rotates in with Simmonds and gives Spezza a couple nights off down the stretch.

One of the things I used to like about Hall is his forechecking. I'm not sure what the underlying numbers say, but it's something you noticed when you watched him (not this year of course lol).
That could be useful for the first line.
But he also tends to go into bursts of improv on the ice, which doesn't look too good when it's not working.

Toronto Maple Leafs Rumours: The latest on possible deadline targets -- Nick Foligno, Scott Laughton, Taylor Hall, Jaden Schwartz, Tyler Bozak, Jamie Oleksiak
Maybe you even have a little cash left over for some depth cookies in case you run out of those too.
Just because the non-brand name chips are cheaper doesn't mean they're no good, they might actually be better; I think that might be the case with Scott Laughton.
