Don't think any of the other prospects on the Leafs hold the weight to acquire Hamilton
    How's JVR not a fit there? I think he's fitting quite fine and he's the only legit net presence we have with that big body and those soft hands.

    Hi buddy!!! I wasn't saying he is not a fit in T.O. He has been playing the best hockey of his career this year. I was saying I don't really see him as a fit in Calgary, with Tkachuk and Guadreau both playing the Left side... I'm cool with keeping JVR but if the Leafs are really interested at picking up a legit top 4 he looks like the best option to move. I don't think that Kadri is going anywhere and positive they won't be silly enough to move MNM

    Pretty sure Dougie Hamilton isn't getting traded. That is all.

    I also said I don’t see Calgary paying the premium price of JvR/Hamilton so they can push Tkachuk to the 3rd line. Calgary doesn’t have a hole besides Goalie and I say RW.

    JVR isn't going to get a top 4D like hamilton/hamonic, especially when he could potentially walk for nothing in a couple seasons.

    isles need a RW, and the flames are better off giving more minutes to Tkachuk as he's been a nice surprise.

    i think it's still a bit too early to trade JVR anyways, can't thrust this much responsibility on the kids even though theyve been the leafs best players so far. TDD is the earliest i'd consider moving JVR, and I'd even consider retaining 50% if the package is really good. I don't see why we can't get a good prospect + mid/late 1st for him at minimum.

    I rather keep JvR (2nd favourite only behind Marner) than trade him at this point. Toronto’s LW are very thin besides him. The 2nd line LW is Hyman, then it’s Komarov. It’s hard to find someone who can play with talent and it looks like JvR (and Bozak for that matter) can keep up to Marner.

    Toronto has a fair amount of D guys who can develop into top 4s, I rather wait it out and see, and the way this season looks, we’ll get a lottery pick again (finishing 10th), and can draft who the team likes at that position rather than BPA when you get near the top of a draft. And going into the expansion draft, I rather hold onto 3D so you can keep more forwards. Rielly, Gardiner, and maybe Carrick.

    As most fans should say as a Leaf, just hold onto what you got, JvR is a UFA n 2018, just hold.

    Well I understand your point completely I would personally move him for a nice package at the deadline if I could or sooner if a legit top 4 is available. May or may not get that but the way he is playing I think they could with maybe a 2nd attached. We really have no need for anymore picks at the moment unless they're 1st as out farm will be completely filled with kids next year.

    Maybe i missed something, but what is the reason that Calgary would trade Hamilton? He supposed to be part of their young core or not?

    Calgary is really struggling offensively...I think they could use a top 6 forward. They have Giordano and Brodie, so theoretically they could trade Hamilton and still have a solid defense. That said, no way they are trading Hamilton for peanuts (even though it only cost peanuts to acquire him).

    If the Leafs are willing to deal Nylander, I'm sure Calgary would listen, but I doubt Toronto would make that trade, even if it makes sense for both teams.

    Wingers can switch sides, not a huge deal. Tkachuk is young, so he could learn to play RW pretty easily.

    The issue isn't the side they play, it's that they're all left handed shots. But again, Hamilton isn't getting traded, so it's irrelevant.

    Hmm... not sure Hamilton is Leafland bound.... if they make a trade for a top 4 Dman,

    I'm expecting it to be more in the mold of Hamonic, Vlasic, Muzzin, Brodie, or Stone to a lesser degree. Someone known for his own end first, but is still efficient moving and passing the puck out of his own end. Likely less of a concern about how much offense the Dman can provide to the Defence core... just solid, responsible stability

    Disclaimer ** names listed are not names I think will be moved, but the type of player Toronto is looking for.

    Doesn't seem to be an issue for Ovechkin, Kane, Tarasenko, Laine, Radulov, Voracek, etc. - I would say that it's more of an issue for D-men to play the "wrong" side, not so much for wingers.

    From a Calgary perspective, not a player perspective. Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Tkachuk, Frolik, Backlund are all LH shots. They don't need another LH shot. It's nothing to do with what a player can do, but rather what Calgary as a team needs, and that is most certainly not another LH shot.

    I'd rather the leafs keep all their forward talent and continue to tank with their porous offense for another high draft pick this season
