Leafs Preparing Offer For Eric Staal

According to Darren Dreger (who is full of sh*t a lot of the time), the Toronto Maple Leafs are putting together a trade package for Eric Staal.

 

The base of the trade would include Nazem Kadri or Tyler Bozak (my preference would be Kadri), then a young roster player (possibly Morgan Rielly or Jake Gardiner), and a top end prospect (only Frederick Gauthier fits into that category).

 

With that said, would you accept the following trade... Nazem Kadri, Morgan Rielly, and Frederik Gauthier for Eric Staal.

 

To help you understand what this would do to our current roster, I posted a potential depth chart.

 

Jeff Skinner - Jordan Staal - Alexander Semin

LW? - Nazem Kadri - Elias Lindholm

Frederik Gauthier - Riley Nash - Patrick Dwyer

LW? - C? - RW?

 

Andrej Sekera - Justin Faulk

Morgan Rielly - RD?

Jay Harrison - John-Michael Liles

Ryan Murphy

 

Anton Khudobin

Cam Ward

 

So... do you do this trade or no?

 

Note: The only players mentioned were Kadri and Bozak. However I inferred from the criteria that the Canes would ask for Rielly/Gardiner and Gauthier.

 

If the Leafs idea of a young roster player and top end prospect is Carter Ashton and and Josh Leivo then I'm hanging up the phone immediately.

 

If the Canes trade Staal, they will be without a number one center for at least the 2014-15 season meaning we better get a hell of a return.

I just read that Morgan Rielly is considered untouchable. If that's the case I wouldn't do the trade.

Gardiner is good but to me he's the best bottom pairing defenseman in the league. I wouldn't want him in our top four.

For Staal who is a 70+ point player year in and year out it would have to be Kadri, Rielly, and Gauthier or Kadri, 8th overall pick, and Gauthier or I'm walking.

People forget that just a year ago Staal led the league in 5 vs. 5 scoring. Maybe the line of Tlusty, Staal, and Semin can get it going again next year.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
