@RLF I like the addition of Peeke. but does that not leave us light on the LD side of things

Dunno if Arizona would take that for McBain. might not be the right pieces, and I have no idea who that Nashville guy is. is that the new way to spell Trenin? LOL.

I like McBain as much as anybody, if not more as I have been the one who started driving that the Leafs should go after him. I still don't get the value people are putting on him. He was a 3rd round pick that Minnesota moved. He is a 23 year old bottom 6 player with about 50 NHL games and on pace for about 20 pts this season. Nothing about him so far screams high potential. It is just my opinion that he might develop into more. I don't even hear any rumours of teams inquiring about him. So why is there so many that think he is worth more so much?

Yes, Afanasyev is a cleverly veiled way of saying (cough, cough) Trenin. lol.

@RLF. ok. forgot about Brodie. but once his deal is done we will definately be light on LD

As for McBain. not sure why everyone thinks he's worth more. maybe too much hype from everyone on here from last game, maybe it's his age, maybe his size we all wish the Leafs had and figure it will take more to get him cause we need guys like that. i just look at Anderson as a guy that won't make it full time in nhl. dunno much about SDA. hear his name all the time but has only played a couple of games and then a 5th. so for a guy that is playing currently it does not seem like much.

I get McBain's point totals aren't high but that just means his cap hit and salary might stay in the lower part, so for that Arizona may not wanna get rid of him, kinda like he has cemented his spot in bottom. so might have to wow them to get him. who knows.

Arz doesn't seem to able to make great trades, but who knows. lol I do see Anderson as an NHLer which is probably why I think it is enough.

How about SDA and Voit for McBain. That should interest ARZ. No?

@RLF I wish we did not have Simmonds on the team, that might have allowed us to get a better read on a guy like Anderson. i just don't know what he is. i don't here much about him. but i do hear Voit is having a good season. so i dunno that i would trade him.

What are your thoughts on Holmberg, i know it's a smaller sample size and he seems to get better as we go but what about him and SDA or that 5th pick for McBain?

18 Jan 2023 14:21:46
@Loxley. I just look at all the young guys they have on the team with talent and not sure if McBain is that crucial to them. They paid a 2nd to get him, so I would think it takes at least that +.

Holmberg looks like a solid player. Really good hockey sense. Knows where to be on the ice. He is on the right side of the puck almost every time. Rarely makes a bad mistake with the puck. He battles. He competes. Not sure he has the skillset to put up big points, so probably 3rd liner moving forward. The thing he lacks is what McBain would bring. . . Dominate physicality.

Arizona has very little in forward prospects that aren't already on the team except for Geekie. Other than that, they don't have much. That is why I said SDA and Voit. SDA is A 22 year old prospect who could possibly make their team next year and Voit a 19 year old prospect that is lighting it up in junior right now.

They have 8 picks in the 2024 draft in the first 3 rounds. But they only have 4 this upcoming draft. So, I think it would be at least a 2023 2nd+ good prospect or two good prospects. Holmberg should interest them, but like McBain, he is an RFA end of season. Maybe they would like cost certainty of two young prospects instead?

I still think it would look something like Engvall, Voit and a 2023 1st for McBain and Bjugstad. I don't think it will be low cost, but it shouldn't be a massive overpay either.

18 Jan 2023 15:09:42
@RLF. i' hate to lose Holmberg. so i guess that is why i used him. both he and McBain look good as bottom 6 players but with different skill sets/ assets like you said McBain is for his size.

But who are we kidding, Dubas would never go for a guy like that. the cost to acquire guys right now seems so over bloated. especially if that rumor of what the blues want for ROR. then of course there is what Yotes want for Chychrun. might be another factor why bottom guys like McBain come up and what people think the asking will be is too much. so hard to know.

18 Jan 2023 15:19:38
Also i should note that as the fan/ team wanting to acquire another player i tend to offer a little more. feel the need to sweeten the deal seeing as i am the one pursuing the other player who a team may not be looking to trade. guess i have no problem giving more to get what i am after.
