or maybe he was never that high in the first place
- senstroll


I distinctly remember his draft year he was a possibility for #1 overall. Comparisons to Lidstrom (Although every Swedish defenseman is compared to Lidstrom) Eventually traded for Taylor Hall straight up.

I think his career mirrors Seth Jones pretty well - with the exception of the fact that Seth Jones became a #1 defenseman and Adam Larsson is a...4?

Kubina? It’s a very low bar.
- Steven_Seagull


Ah the memories. Let me drop a quick Roger on you ....

I remember debating with The Law Sr. that summer of 2006. Leafs need to add a D that can skate and move the puck he said. He liked that Kubina guy.

I wanted some more violence ..someone that could clean up our zone. I liked that Chara guy.

I remind my Dad of that one as often as possible.

Ottawa is not going to offer Craig Anderson a contract..

Maybe we should change plans and go with an Andersen and Anderson 1A/1B tandem..

I don't have a problem with Salming as a Red Wing - it was a favour to him.

Here's what I have a problem with:

Do we trade a 2nd for Petro's rights to bring his cap hit down 1M and sign him until 38?

I'll split that question up a bit.

One scenario has 7 years of a NMC and zero trade protection and only 3-4M of actual dollars on last year.

The other has full NMC the whole contract.

That wouldn't work.

The only way the Leafs could get him on an 8-year deal would be for him to sign a contract with the Blues, and then be traded to the Leafs.

For several reasons, I don't think that is realistic.

This reminds me of a conversation I once had with a buddy of mine who's a Colts fan. I said they should draft a kid named Peyton Manning with the #1 pick. He wanted a kid named Ryan Leaf. I still remind him of this literally every time we talk.

Leafs can’t give him an 8 year contract (even if they traded for his rights).

Habs gave CAR a 5th for Edmundson

Would cost more

Why?

If Petro gets what he cant have with the Blues? and The Blues get some comp for it?

Sign and trades just simply don't happen in the NHL.

I could guess at a few reasons why, but at the end of the day, we are back where we started:
