Who thinks Brown gets traded over Kapanen?
- Aaron_85

i'm sticking to brown being our best trade chip with edmonton.

Fair deal.

Say bye bye to your location Weedy

sounds like they will be shopping him. i don't get it. multiple maybes is what you get, pretty standard package.

straight up it's kadri for hamilton. works on our side if the leafs sign tavares.
- Tumbleweed

Would be a fair trade, the big if is JT. We know that Burkie loves his belligerent dirty players - throw in Martin.

Sorry, you never give Kadri up unless its for an all star level player. His contract is way too valuable, you wouldnt be able to replace him. His type of contract is what allows teams to stay competitive.

i think the change is coming.

Burke quit.

I think he's our best trade chip period. I think he's more expendable than others probably do. Kapanen is the guy Dubas wanted in the Kessel deal and wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to send a message to Babcock that he's in charge and trades away a favourite player.

Burke quit.

That's right, he's a media type now.

Leafs fans have over-rated Kapanen.

I’m not saying he is a bad player. But if we traded him for a defenceman, I would wave goodbye and not regret it.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just homered
He's 4/4 today, now hitting .418 with a 1.163 OPS #BlueJays

I can't wait for the fire sale. It's going to be so much fun this year. I feel bad for Carolina fans but I need the entertainment and there's never a lot of player movement in the cap era.

I guess with Waddell anything is possible; Hopefully, he learned nothing after he was fired from Atlanta.

While in Atlanta;

Traded 22 year old Braydon Coburn for 34 year old Alexei Zhitnik

Traded Glen Metropolit, 2007 1st round pick, 2007 3rd round pick and a 2008 2nd round pick for a 34 year old Keith Tkachuk

Traded Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis for Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen, Angelo Esposito, 2008 1st round pick

Traded Ilya Kovalchuk, Anssi Salmela, and 2010 2nd round pick for Nicklas Bergfors, Patrice Cormier, Johnny Oduya, 2010 1st round pick and a 2010 2nd round pick

Traded Kari Lehtonen for Ivan Vishnevskiy and 2010 4th round pick.

if we sign tavares, somebody up front will need to go.

hamilton is good value on his deal too.

Kapanen for Petry?
- PatC80

I believe i've already talked about my current Petry hate with him being either amazing or completely useless.

Despite that.

I wouldn't make that trade.

Yes... "Somebody"

Marleau and Martin will leave in 2 years.

JVR, Komarov and Bozak are leaving.

I don't think anyone else has to go to make it work.

Just won't be able to spend big on defense is all.

Same. I like him but definitely move him.

Interesting listening to Rishaug speculating that the Oilers will go hard for a big name D; suggested Klefbom + 10 for Risto as an example.

Holy poop fold the Oilers if they did that.

I would move him for a quality d-man, Leafs already have enough 5-6 guys. I would add that Kapanen has been highly rated for many years - going back to his draft in 2014 when he was the highest rated European in the draft. The Euros were superior to the NA kids that year. (central scouting)

Klefbom and the #10 pick for Ristolainen?

Risto is younger, but that is a steep price to pay...

seems like a legit price for chia to pay for a PP specialist that can't play defence.
