There's no way to say I'm being favourable for TO! We need to blend our Hockey team with people that can skate and people that can skate and hit because right now all we have is people that can skate and score but as soon as you bump them we'll then we lose.
People I watched Montreal skate faster and out hit us and from looking at it we looked bigger than them! Just saying !

I agree that the 1.95mil Kassian makes is a little steep and I didn't run numbers don't have the time so here's my Lines Yo! Lol! Without my Kassian Trade!

Toronto's Forward lines
Johnsson/Mathews/Nylander
Hymn/Tavares/Marner
Jenner/Kerfoot/Anderson
Moore/Spezza/Mikheyev

Toronto's defensive lines
Riley/Ceci
Sandin/Barrie
Dermot/Savard

This leaves us with lots of depth options for forwards and the defence plus we need a back up goalie but that's for another trade proposals!

I don't think colombus does this deal. The last 2 players that you put in his trade don't even have trade value in the AHL.

What you saw last night wasnt montreal skating and hitting more. You simply saw a momentum change in the third with a bad stick throw and a couple bad goaltending blemishes. put andersen in net and its a blowout.

Hockey is a game of momentum swings. Toronto needs to smarten up their attitude when having a lead. Its the third game in. can't expect leafs to win them all.

On a side note kapenen throwing his broken stick at the player with the puck was a dumb dumb move

However, weber picking up a price goaltenders stick and handing it to him is also a big no no but that didn't get called. If you're going to call 1 stick infraction you got to call the other. Weber had to use his stck to shovel price stick to him. He gloved the goalies stick while holding his stick. that's a no no.

Anyways, its just a game of 82. Plus it was the third period of 3 games in 4 nights while habs had only played 1 game total before last night.
Legs had to be tired in that 3rd.

No panick.

I can get behind some of your points but they pressure the PP and they did out skate us! This however is one game of 82 but that don’t hide the softness that I witness last night! I wouldn’t go as far to say they took runs at us but they finished their checks. We don’t! For the record I don’t expect goons and I was to revise the trade I would do it this way.

Agree 100% there hounddog. It's less of taking runs at people more on a dump and Chase finish your damn check! Every leaf player let's anyone do whatever they want without paying the price at all. Bringing in more 3rd liners isn't the solution though I don't think. It's getting Mathews Marner and Nylander to actually hit someone.

Looking at the reworked trade, Savard+Jenner for a Kapanen+Muzzin, is probably closer in “value”. I can totally understand why Leafs would do this, to an extent, but I’m not so sure Columbus would make this trade.

If this deal happened, Leafs get a 2RHD, who we play 1RHD beside Rielly. The extra year over Muzzzin is a bonus. Problem becomes what to do with Ceci? Burying him on third line seems like a waste of a $4.5M player, and deteriorates any trade value he might have. We end up eating Ceci’s salary this year while he wastes away and demands a trade by deadline, in which case we get pennies back on the dollar.

As for Columbus, I’ve read quite a few analysts saying he was arguably Columbus’ best defenseman last year. I obviously didn’t watch a lot of their games, but his stats were good, and he has been consistently good for his career. I’m not so sure they want to lose a year of his services for pending UFA Muzzin. Jenner for Kapanen, I don’t know. Is Kapanen really a big upgrade over Jenner that Columbus wants to make this happen?

This trade doesn’t make either team better really. Toronto gets a bit more “grit”, while Columbus gets a bit younger and faster. But it doesn’t really address either teams needs right now either. The bonus to Columbus is the RFA status of zkapanen means he is controllable while Jenner is not.

This trade does not really make any sense for both clubs. Columbus would be gving too much away and they are looking to contend with the absense of panarin and bobrovsky. Also, leafs would be getting rid of their young talent and bring in guys with huge contracts. just doesn't make sense at all!
