As a leaf fan sure, can’t see why the wild do this, that elc will be valuable to them for the next few years
From a Leafs perspective yes. Hildeby had a better 1st season in the AHL than Wallstedt has had for his first two.You don't know enough about the top goaltending prospect in the world, but you're weighing in on goaltending prospects? Smart.
Prospects are overratedKnies is a 2nd liner at best, Wallstedt is one of the best prospects in the world
Insane for Minnesota
What does this meanProspects are overrated
can this guy even play
Neutral fan options are essentally "both teams say no" or "both tams say yes".
I'll go with an option that isn't available and say Toronto says yes, while Minnesota says no. Toronto can porbably make it work by adding pieces though.
Makes no sense for Minnesota.
Makes some sense for Toronto.
I am stunned that even one MN fan (or someone pretending to be one) would do this deal.
Askarov and Wallstedt are considered the clear 2 best goalie prospects. Both hovered around .910.When it comes to Knies, a lot of folks ignore his most appealing attribute which is he projects a top 6 power forward. Too many people saying he is just a 2nd line winger. Most teams kill for a guy like him in their top 6 and honestly he's been in 2 playoffs and been clutch af in both. Guy is a winner.
If it wasn't for the hype, no one is saying Wallstedt is any good for a .910sv% in the AHL and a .897sv in 1 NHL game. Meanwhile you know Knies is an NHler
He has a shutout in the NHL... so yes.Prospects are overrated
can this guy even play
Leafs have average, at best, goaltending. Wallstedt is one of the best goaltending prospects in the league. He'd instantly add credibility.How does it make sense for Toronto? They already have a talented young goaltender in Joseph Woll, who hasn't proven a ton but he's proven a hell of a lot more than Wallstedt, plus at 21 years old, baring injury Knies is a guaranteed top 6 forward.
Leafs actually have a fairly decent 2nd waive of talent coming up in Knies, Robertson, Woll, Cowan and Minten they shouldn't be trading that for a prospect goaltender, especially when the team is actually quite deep in goaltending prospects.
If they were to trade Knies for a top prospect, and they shouldn't at all.
But if they did the best position to do that for would be a center prospect, because the team has very little in center prospects.
It's Minten and not much else.
Roy gave up a touchdown in his 2nd start... it happens to young goalies, even great ones.He also gave up a touchdown in his previous game, but let's ignore that for my convenience
pretty much this but goalies are hard to gauge for me.Knies is nice, but if you think Wall can be a #1, what's the point of that?
From Toronto it makes no sense either, they have Woll/Stolly and Hildeby in the wings, hell Martin Jones had some nice starts for Toronto, not that he is the future, but Toronto has way more than enough young goalies.
I don't think either team does it, Minnesota just drafted the guy and Toronto is set in net.
Average goal tending. You mean their goalie prospect who had better stats in the AHL than Walllstedt?. Or Woll who gave up 2 goals in 2 games and 1 period in the playoffs against Boston.Leafs have average, at best, goaltending. Wallstedt is one of the best goaltending prospects in the league. He'd instantly add credibility.
Knies hasn't cleared 35 points. I wouldn't call him a guaranteed top 6 forward. That team doesn't really need wingers or top 6 forwards. They have enough up front. They need better goaltending and defensemen.
Wallstedt could be a solution for 10 years to their goaltending. Woll could have an .893 next year, and no one would be surprised. They'd be back at square one then. Relying on him will get them exactly where they've been in recent years.
Teams matter.Average goal tending. You mean their goalie prospect who had better stats in the AHL than Walllstedt?. Or Woll who gave up 2 goals in 2 games and 1 period in the playoffs against Boston.
You mean Hildeby had a .03 better SV% on a much better team despite being nearly a year and a half older?Average goal tending. You mean their goalie prospect who had better stats in the AHL than Walllstedt?. Or Woll who gave up 2 goals in 2 games and 1 period in the playoffs against Boston.
Didn't say if he was better or not, just that he is better than average.You mean Hildeby had a .03 better SV% on a much better team despite being nearly a year and a half older?
Go find me one person of any repute that has Hildeby as anywhere near as good of a goaltender prospect.
