Interesting post
But. I wish.

Good trade. Well done. I’d do this.

26 May 2020 19:45:52
Interesting, but why?

26 May 2020 20:00:48
I would 100% do this but I don't see Ottawa doing it. They would want a Marner or Nylander type player+ for chabot.

26 May 2020 20:06:22
Just I wish.

It still doesn't help with our LHD vs RHD situation though. Chabot is LHD. I've never known him to play RHD. It's a possibility, but probably not realistic at this point to expect him to make the switch.

@LeafsGm I think I'm this scenario one or two of Reilly/ Muzzin/ Dermott are traded. Then bring in a RHD from somewhere. With chabot you don't need Reilly anymore.

That trade has zero chance of getting Chabot.

26 May 2020 21:44:23
Sandin is what 3 years younger than chabot and at his age has more nhl and ahl experience than chabot did at same age. They both won outstanding D at world jrs the year after their draft. So give sandin another year and as he may not be better than chabot he won't be much behind him and much cheaper. Adding that first and liljegren is a steep price as sandin in ottawa may get close to chabots points as someone needs to get the points from the backend on a bad team. chabot is leafs second maybe even third best D option and doesn't come cheap.

Their is zero chance Islandjet can even comprehend. He only sees leafs big contracts as negative values but forgets the other end of it. chabot is freakin expensive. He will be top ten per year contract for Dmen once his new contract starts. so if marner due to his contract isn't worth conner than how is chabot worth sandin a first and liljegren once you take contract into account. such nonsense from a no sense guy.

IslandJet since your always full of opinions about overpays what would be a fair price for chabot?

@LeafsLife

Looking past just the trade here, and what moves would be necessary after. I would suggest trading Rielly for a 1RHD straight up then. Or we have to package Muzzin (NTC) along with Dermott or a forward for a 1RHD.

As always, you can't just look at a trade in isolation as I did here earlier. You need to think about what doors it opens. And making a deal like this opens up the possibility of trading Rielly. That could solve all our problems on defense very easily.

More deep insight from mph. Lol.

MPH what's the matter with you man? You openly ripped into Randy for saying the very exact same thing you said here. Twice. Lol. I guess it's just mph being his usual consistently inconsistent self again.

More deep insight from mph.

I just had to say it twice, because you said it twice.
Lol.

@LeafsGm

I agree Reilly for a RHD would be better if possible but that's a hard sell to a lot of teams. Finding a trading partner for a 1RHD to 1LHD would be very difficult.

Yeah it's difficult to look at things in isolation a lot of the time but given the information on the post you are correct. If this was the sole move made then it wouldn't solve anything even if Dermott played top 4 RHD minutes.

It's possible if the team is strong RHD but not so strong LHD. There's a couple teams like that in the league. Montreal and SJ come to mind. Problem there is that all those guys are old and I wouldn't find want them. Colorado comes to mind as a team that might have an extra young quality RHD, Dallas too if they moved Heiskenan to right. It's a tough sell, but possible. It's just a matter of finding the right team.
