Leafs talking to Carolina....Faulk? Putting 2 and 2 together here. Two rumors. Faulk is available. Leafs and Canes talking. Eklund

How about a defenseman now that Carolina has upgraded? Does one shake loose?

I say Faulk no to this trade

har har har har

isn't Faulk another Gardiner type player?

Different players.

Faulk also was a lot better on his two way game a few years ago. He is a guy that needs a change of scenery

Faulk for Kapanen and Sparks, let's get it

Ew. Why would you want Krapanen?

Sparks makes sense cause Waddell was saying they need goaltending, Kapanen would be fun cause of his Dad. As a fan it's kinda sucks to part with Kapanen though cause we've been waiting for a while for him to make the team and it looks like he's finally going to do it next year.

No to Kapanen. Not even close for Faulk.
And Sparks is a good addition but doesn't help now. Canes need a #1 goalie now.
If it's for Nylander then yes. Canes need a top 2 center most of all besides a goalie.

Faulk doesn't get you Nylander, maybe Alex though.

Hanifin was the guy to target, not Faulk. The leafs should have drafted Hanifin over Marner, they would be in a much better position today if they had.

Right. Marner was the Leafs top forward in the playoffs this year and Hanifin just got traded.

hanifin got traded because he doesn't fit the system in carolina.
The leafs are deep at centre and nylander would be playing centre rather than the wing. hanifin is the defenseman toronto needs and now has to trade for.

No way Carolina gets Nylander they can Faulk Off. Mitch has been fantastic no way I take Hanifin over him in the draft.

If this is what you feel you will get for Faulk I sense you are going to be very disappointed.

They are probably just talking about JVR.

Right and what if that were the same fate here? No way, leafs drafted the best at that selection. Yes we need D, but you dont pass on someone like Marner.

I can't believe someone is trying to argue we should have drafted Hanifan over Marner

You draft the best player available regardless of position unless you're the Montreal Canadiens...

The Leafs definitely aren’t deep at centre you nitwit. And nobody in their right mind would take Hanifin over Marner right now.

- Bobs Your Uncle

no chance Bobs your uncle, Marner is the better player so far from that draft and i wouldn't trade him straight up for Hanifin if the opportunity arises.

Marner was their best player in the second half of the season including the playoffs.

no kidding!, Marc Bergevin is the new Peter Chiarelli.

nice to see there are still leaf fans chugging the blue koolaid still in 2018.

Matthews
Nylander
Marner
Kadri
Marleau LW/C
Hyman LW/C
Gauthier
Mueller

Bozak UFA now
Moore UFA now
Plekanec UFA now

Hanifin would fit better in Toronto than he would in Carolina.
Mitch Marner is overrated by Leaf fans and they don't really need him.
Matthews, Nylander, Marner and Kadri can't all play at centre on the top 2 lines.

When was marner a center? Dvorak was his center in junior.
