Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

why do the Leafs do that?

1. Pageau is a nice upgrade at 3C. A legit anchor for a good 2-way 3rd line.
2. Gets us under the cap
3. Opens up another spot for one of the kids on the wing.
4. potentially nets us a young asset or two in the deal as well

5. satisfies your gay urges for the sens

6. satisfies Volc's "steps up production in the playoffs" urges

7. has wasted perfectly good pages of internet forum with discussion of an idea that makes no sense and will never happen.

 

[zeke]

I thought everybody agreed we should upgrade at 3C.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

For someone who actually likes Kerf too based on your other posts, why would you be pushing him out the door to overpay on Pageau with term (where Pageau may well be a downgrade!), toss out Engvall for nothing (opens up space for a good winger to step in like who??), and give them Holl just for fun as well?

just want to point out that we've wasted dozens of pages on topics like "which type of cheese is best" so...

 

[zeke]

Because Kerf isn't really a C. He's a complementary guy. Pageau can legit anchor a 3rd line with quality 2 way play. Or at least he could. He's not exactly old tho.

Wasted!! If not for those, most people here would still be unaware that blue cheese is disgusting. That was a public service.

At least if you were talking about trading an expiring Kerf for a Pageau with term...that would be one thing. I still wouldn't do it even then.

But you want to give them Engvall and Holl for free because cap?? Those guys have value, both to us and others.

It's just an offensively bad idea from an asset management standpoint. You don't throw away tradeable value to get under a cap.

And if you think those three are equal to one Pageau, I mean, Zekie, jesus.

 

[zeke]

well we're trading at least one of those 3 for futures in the next couple weeks anyways, so really it's just a 2 for one deal, for a guy who can legit place C.

yeah you really got me there, what a burn

 

[LeafGm]

I’d rather trade one of those three assets for literally nothing instead of taking on Pageau’s contract for the next four seasons.

i wasn't trying to burn?

I wonder if there's something to the Chychrun rumor.

A life without cheese is much worse than a life without an aging, overpaid 3rd line centre

Hey, go fuck yourself. Those weren't wasted.

Which cheese did we settle on?

 

[Habsy]

Doesn’t matter. I’ll always have my favorite.
