Other than the bolded you are NOT finding top 4 defensemen from the latter that is young

LeBrun was on WGR the other day mentioning how The Jets are looking to add help on the blue line, Pittsburgh is going to lose a top 4? Who?

Your list is way off

Chicago is losing a good young defensemen?

Same with Ottawa?

Come on now

- Stripes77



No it's not off at all

Right now, Jets are exposing Myers
Pitt is exposing Dumoulin
Van Riemsdyk from Chicago, protecting Keith, Seabrook & Hjarlmarsson
Ottawa probably protects Ceci bc of age, but that leaves Methot
He's not young, but I'd take him at the right price

I can keep going if I really need to
I assure u I have thoroughly researched this though
My list is accurate

Ek says Myers to Leafs is an E4 so please adjust your list.

They might protect 4 D.

It's very possible Trouba still wants to be traded

You did read that I said Ek said E4. Which guarantees Myers isn't coming to the Leafs.

True, they could protect 4 defensemen
Most of the teams I listed have a 4th they'd leave exposed though bc they have over 4 forwards they'd wanna keep

But how many work out after round2?

Something like 10%
And that's just to be a 3rd pair guy

I'm hopeful for Borgen & Fitzgerald...
but tell me you wouldn't have loved if he took Montour over Cornel or Karabacek
Nashville is (and was) stacked on defense & took Dougherty who we passed on

He also traded away 6 or 7 picks in the 1st two rounds that could've built depth on defense

Here we are doing the easy hindsight gm thing again, if every if's and but's were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry Christmas.
Brycen Martin started his development in Elmira, just like GMJB would have wanted him too, this does not mean he can never be a serviceable player for the organization. I have said before and I will say it again, when I look at a prospect I try to find the ceiling for his talent, while the bloggers on this site look to the floor. That is depressing.

Sure am glad the Pegula's didn't hire you as GM, Talk about Murray giving away too much in a trade.

Rielly is very good but I would take my chances with those 3 assets.

Yeah, I made it to a second interview, but couldn't close the deal. Your assets are safe.

What is the overall thoughts on Morgan Reilly in Toronto? is he considered untouchable/franchise guy? is he meeting expectations?

You'll take him & like it!
Hahaha

In all seriousness,
Myers can be a solid 2nd pair guy imo

He was terrible up until the last few games of the season and then he really played well in the playoffs. He had a high ankle sprain early in the season and I think that set him back. I think he's definitely our best dman but don't know if he would be considered untouchable. For me there are 3 untouchables: Matthews Nylander and Marner. Everyone else I would trade for the right price.

I think he's been up and down but since dmen take longer to develop I think he is on his way to being a #1 or #2 guy.

if u wanna be hopeful about a defenseman who SUCKED in the ECHL,
Then I applaud your positivity
But I don't see Martin amounting to anything at this point
If he can bounce back next year, then great
But I'm not counting on it

Hmm sounds similar to how people view Ristolainen here.

I think they are very similar when it comes to how they are developing. I would love Risto on the Leafs btw. I think he is going to be a stud when it's all said and done.
