Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Kiwi]

Seems like the real solution is to better distribute our resources and stop trying to twist ourselves into pretzels in an attempt to keep 4 guys who who can’t carry their weight in the playoffs.

Nah, lets keep pretending guys like David Kampf are the problem…

Who's going? Matthews, Nylander, Marner or Tavares because last I looked we just resigned the first two and the other two have full NMC

It's already done bloody hell

Oh yeah, Kampf ******* sucks so he's a part of the problem

 

[Kiwi]

Kampf isn’t a 4th liner, so it’s disingenuous to compare his salary to 4th liners.

Precisely, he's a 13th forward at best

Just because it’s not getting fixed doesn’t mean it isn’t the problem.

In his role, with the linemates he plays with, he’s done well. The poor guy just gets absolutely buried by Keefe.

Precisely, he's a 13th forward at best

He’s our #8….

 

[Martin Skoula]

It is when they aren't producing on either side of the puck. Those teams either have guys contributing offense, or have guys that are really solid defensively in their bottom 6.

We don't need much from the bottom 6, but having a few more guys who could chip in like Robertson or Holmberg wouldn't hurt and redistributing the $4M we're paying Kampf/Reaves to guys that would actually help us would be beneficial.

We need better bottom 6ers, I’m just not sure how that idea ties into what we’re spending on the forwards that are actually producing. Good teams have cheaper bottom-6s than us, spending more doesn’t fix our problem. The only place we really need to spend more is replacing whatever pro scouts signed off on the cast of expensive misfits we have down there now.

Jesse puljijarvi should have been signed good defensive forward that shores up the kampf line with holmberg

Where’s the logic in paying your phone bill while ignoring your mortgage, won’t get you anywhere, this is the same about complaining about Kampf while the big problem is the entitled four, or at least some of the entitled four…….

We need to build lines not put a bunch of players together I agree expensive isn’t necessarily better

 

[Sypher04]

David Kampf isn’t THE problem, but he is A problem. And no, he’s not a 3rd liner nor has he done well considering his deployment.

He’s been bad.

They need to move out the dime a dozen players asap. This is a sell year. Its not even a tre issue, its the result of Dubas running out of asset capital and taking what you can from the clearance bin.

Considering he’s supposedly an asset faceoff wise, it’s interesting he has the worst percentage of our four centers. Apart from his PK work, guy has been mostly useless this year. Really disappointing, and his line still gave up goals post Reaves out, says a lot too. He isn’t a positive atm.

Yeah, and our PK sucks this year too. Not that Kampf is solely responsible for that by means but still

Calgary just picked up a dman off waivers.

If this leads to a tanev trade what would be an overpayment?

If he ends up elsewhere for a reasonable cost I’d be kinda upset.

He's a great fit but the price has to make sense and cap space is a bit of an issue as well.

 

[ULF_55]

Kampf has a higher cap hit than Boston and Colorado’s entire 4th lines lol. Somehow I don’t think the amount we’re paying bottom 6ers is the problem.

Steeves, Abruzzese, Tverberg

There you go.

Now just to find a coach with gonads.

 

[ULF_55]

Domi has 24 points in 47 games, that's half a PPG with minimal PP and ice time

Bertuzzi has sucked, does that magically make Kampf suck less to?

Domi has 4 goals
Bertuzzi has 6 goals

Domi on pace for 7 goals, with over a minute per game on the PP.

 

[Fogelhund]

Domi isn't a goal scorer, he shouldn't expect to be one. He sets up goals though, and he's had good chemistry with Robertson. At $3 mil, he's 61st in scoring for C's in the league... that's low end 2C production!!!

I predict none of them stick. Warm bodies.

and yet they all have earned a chance to prove you wrong. Maybe even in the next week, with Kampf out.

Can't have your cake and it it too.

How would we ever know, rather than personal speculation?

3C $3 mil.

 

[thewave]

Available for trade in my books. And anyone else with term that gets a decent return. Load up this years picks.

Domi
Gio

3C $3 mil.

Just like Domi?

 

[Shooter2x]

Bertuzzi can actually handle playoff hockey whereas previous depth shrivel up and die. Be careful what you wish for wanting to revert.

 

[v00d00daddy]

Totally. He’s on a modified nmc. Maybe that can play a part that helps the leafs. I hope
