Schmaltz will not be on the second line.

Lol. For once I agree with RedWing. Schmaltz is not a top 4 player. I’m sure I’ve seen him play because I’ve seem Blues games during the time he was on their team. But nothing stands out to make me remember him in any significant manner, and from what I’ve read on him, he’s average at best, and below average is more normal and expected. In other words, he’s not very good.

If, for whatever strange reason, SJ made the first trade, Leafs now have nine forwards that would want protecting. Of course we can only protect seven. So Hyman and one of Meier, Hertl, Nylander, Kerfoot, Rackell, Kapanen, Matthews, Tavares? Leafs should be team reducing player count, not the other way around.

Schmaltz is a decent 7th guy, much like borgmann would of been.

However, i will like to point out that as early as 2 months ago Schmaltz was as close to untouchable according to some and would of taken Kapanen plus to get him. i'm sure most of you can figure out who that was.

Schmaltz could surprise and has the capability to become a bortuzzo type of player. Give him a few more years in the league and when he is as old as bortuzzo is he just may have a late twenties coming out party, if you catch my drift.

Schmaltz is a prime example of someone who gets hyped by his fanbase, but once he leaves that fanbase he now becomes nothing but garbage by that fanbase. Leaf fans do it just as much ae any other organisations fans do it. Its unfortunte but oh so true.

Trade Marner to any organisation and that organisations fanbase will deem marner their savour. however, every fanbase right now deem him worth next to nothing. Its funny how much fanbases judge players who they do not even watch every night.

Yup so at the trade deadline Trade Hymn and if Kerfoot gets expansion drafted we’ll figure out the cap space we just gained!

You would expose Kerfoot? I was thinking Kapanen. We got Bracco to fill in Kapanen’s spot. There’s nobody can fill Kerfoot at 3C.

I have to be honest I haven’t put much thought into the expansion draft and who to keep. Since you brought up the fact he’s a 3rd line centre and we don’t have the replacement in the minors then it makes sense to keep Kerfoot and leave Kapenen unprotected that said I would trade Kapanen for futures at the trade deadline recoup the loss of an asset bring up Bracco and protect kerfoot. Now another thought would be keep a 20+ goal scoring winger that can play up in the lineup when needed over a 3rd line Center the reason I would make this decision 3rd line centres are out on the other cash strap teams that need cap relief that we could target. Anyways those are my thoughts.
