Brown – 15G 17A.

Mac – 18G 15A

Brown’s Advanced numbers are better (Tougher comp, better CorsiOn). But Mac actually has a much better CorsiRel (which says how good your possession numbers are in relation to your team).

Eh, seems a bit of a wash. I wouldn’t do the trade you suggest.

First of all, Gardiner has a really high ceiling.

But more importantly, you are just thinking ‘RICK NASH’ without taking into account the following:

1) Nash has a HUGOURMUNGOUS cap hit, for a very long time.

2) Nash will not fill any of our primary needs, namely good defensmen, good two way forwards, good defensmen, and goaltending

3) Gardiner is cost controlled for a while and will never ever carry the same cap hit as Nash

4) If Gardiner becomes as good as he could possibly be (i.e. Keith, Weber, Doughty), he will still have a lower cap hit than Nash

5) Nash does not make us a contender. Full stop. I would say that we would still not be as good as Philly, and never mind the top teams in the league

by samspade on Feb 23, 2012 8:56 PM EST up reply actions  

What is Gardiner going to be eventually?

A young puck moving Dman who will be cost controlled for a long time, probably has a solid decade ahead of him, and a ceiling that is very high

What is Gardiner Nash going to be eventually?

A declining winger who only marginally improves our scoring, will quite possibly hit a major decline within 5 years, doesn’t really improve us defensively, and will cost a fucking ass ton of cap space until nearly the end of the decade

Komisarek, Armstrong, Lombardi and Conolly add up to what 15-20 million of dead weight? If Burke hadn’t piled on a quarter of the cap with useless players, there would be room to have more than one or two good forwards. You know, the way successful teams are built

As far as cap space, the PPP enforcer pretty much summed it up.

Rick Nash still doesn’t fit our team, now or long term. If we trade a bunch of shitty players? Sure. But for what he would cost, it is not worth it for us to get him.

You said you wouldn’t trade Gardiner for Nash straight up because Gardiner is much cheaper and cost controlled for years. I pointed out that an assload of money is being spent on crap and if weren’t there would be plenty of room for Nash. But whatever, you wouldn’t trade a rookie who has played decently for 60 games for a perennial all star who is probably good for 30 to 40 goals for the next 3-5 years.

So I lie somehwere in the middle. Where does Gardiner fall in that middle? I am not sure.

That money could still be tied up and we could find a way to fit Nash in anyways. The issue is Gardiner provides more value to this team overall and is therefore better for this team moving forward.

If you could find a equation that balanced Age, cap hit and production and gave you a single value, Gardiners would be higher.

Everyone is a little over heated here, but sam is right to point out that goal scorers tend to slow down right around where Nash is aged. It is quite likely he will average 30 goals for the next 2-3 years, then 25 for 2-3, then 20, etc.

I don’t disagree at all about that. That’s why I kinda just threw out 30-40. I’m not claiming he’s going off for 50 a year. I realize that goal scorers slow down and their production declines, but most likely he won’t turn into a scrub in a few years. I guess there are some fan favorites here that if you suggest trading upsets certain people. Realistically, Nash isn’t coming here and that’s fine with me.

I think the big problem with Nash is that a lot of people here NASH and they think of the perennial all star power forward we have seen for 8 years. But we should think beyond the sexy name and realize that he is nearing the end of his prime and has a massive contract and we should be wary of it.

Curious: what would have made this full value? I’m no expert, but a 25 year old power play quarterback + a first for a guy that didn’t want to play there and has been injured (albeit perhaps not one that seems destined to be chronic) seems to be a decent return for a team that is now rebuilding. Maybe they could use a more defensive defenseman? I guess Bernier would have also been an improvement

Yeah I just checked out his advanced stats for the last 3 years.

He plays 2nd pairing quality of competition (3rd or 4th in CorsiRelQualComp in each of the years).

Was either last or second last in CorsiRel all three years.

This year has a 49% OZone start and a slightly positive zone shift. The other years negative zone start and started in the Ozone more.

That is BAD. He does play a lot of minutes (greater than 22 in all three years), but it seems like he probably shouldn’t play that much.

Going to get scored on in the first 5 to get us down 3-0, 4-0 by late period then maybe the Leafs will get a goal at the very end because of SJ letting go of defence.

Lupul’s season came out of nowhere. He really was a salary dump

As for Gardiner, well you can thank Glen Sathe and Joe Nieuwendyk. They drafted Dylan McIlrath and Jack Campbell respectively with Fowler still on the board…
…thus ensuring Fowler went to the Ducks…
…thus ensuring that the Ducks had 2 stud puck movers…
…thus making one of them expendable when the Ducks needed an elite shut down D / to shed an underperfoming, injured player’s salary.

Lupul was a salary dump from Anaheim’s perspective but not from Burke’s. Even excluding this season he’s a fucking 50 point guy.

We are in 9th

1 point behind 8th with 2 games in hand.

We are currently well into our worst stretch of the season.

We can’t lose forever, right?

by samspade on Feb 23, 2012 9:52 PM EST reply actions  

We are in 8th right now, but Winnipeg is currently winning their game. If they win they will be 2 points ahead, but we’ll have 2 games in hand.

"We’ve got to maybe prepare a little bit better," Leafs centre Tyler Bozak said, "and get ready to go right off the first drop of the puck."

Prepare better and get ready to go at the start of the game? Sounds like coaching and/or leadership.

Move along. Nothing to see here...

by Van Ryn's Neurologist on Feb 23, 2012 11:02 PM EST reply actions  

Sounds like the kind of coaching and leadership they should’ve been receiving SINCE THEY PLAYED TYKE HOCKEY. If they haven’t figured it out yet, then what are the chances they ever will?

In other words, I don’t blame that on the coaches, I blame it on the players. Is it really Ron Wilson’s job to go around 5 minutes before game time and tap them on the knees, pat their backs, ask, “Hey champ, are you fired up for the game?” What would remedy their unreadiness? Gathering in the crease after the national anthem and doing a little team cheer? It’s frustrating that something so simple as not being ready at the drop of the puck is being thrown out there by (at least one of) the players as the reason the Leafs are losing games.

i get what you're saying

Yes, the players are at fault. Is it a coincidence that the Leafs are sucking during pressure filled games, when their star players (Phaneuf and Kessel) are the playoff-failure castoffs of yesteryear?

This bunch of jokers is not the foundation of a championship team. End of story.

Burke, fix your earlier mistakes. You can make up for them now. You can make up for your idiotic hiring of Gerber and ensuring we pick Kadri instead of Tavares. You can make up for trading for a fragile, easily intimidated forward for two top ten picks

Sell Grabovski since he’s not willing to re-sign at 5 mil. Sell Lupul while he’s still a hot flash in the pan. Do you really think he’s going at PPG next year? Come on.

Keep the pick, sell what you can get value for, and let’s build a Stanley Cup winner. There are no shortcuts.


P.S. fire Wilson at the end of the year. Not before; I don’t want the chance of an actually, you know, good coach screwing up our tanking.

Next season of 24/7: "I am named Mikhail. I watch video to fold together strategy. I want outdoors to fight bravely."

Yeah, Kessel is really intimidated, and shows it by being in the top 4 in points, and top 5 in goals. Blowing up the team will make us exactly like Edmonton and Florida, that’s not really an option

Whatever. I’m not even saying dump Kessel. I’m not even saying dump Phaneuf.

I’m saying, let’s look at who our core is, and dump the rest. Our core is Phaneuf, Kessel, and Gardiner. And they’re not a good enough core to get us to the Cup. No way. So, sell off, and add to it. Because you’re sure as shit not gonna expand on our core through free agency, given Burke’s unwillingness to go for long term salary.

And same with trades – to get any key piece like Carter, another key piece like Gardiner had to be part of the deal. (that’s why we didn’t get him) Forget it.

Burke’s experiment, three years running, is now a proven abject failure. Three years which could have produced Tavares, Taylor Hall and Nugent-Thomkins have produced a middling team, which, with additions, might turn into the next 2000’s Montreal Canadiens.
