ParticipantRaddysh is slow footed and suspect defensively. He’s been a minus player before (-4 and -3) including in the AHL (-10, big surprise)
Keep moving those goalposts and being a fucking moron, to not just admit you make shit up and to go back to his 2018-20-19 season in the AHL when he was a -10 to try and pretend you were not full of shit is classic room temp. IQ, moron you. I guess you missed the fact he was a +19 in the AHL in 2022-2023 eh fuckhead?
What’s next you going to pull up someone’s stats from 1 season in peewee hockey to prove a point you fuckling idiot.
Do we now apply your logic & say Marner is going to go back to being the -1 player he was in 2017-2018 in the NHL as a Leaf over 82 games?
Sit down, and shut the fuck up.

ParticipantBut why do the Leafs need Hayton and why does Utah want to get rid of him? Chayka draftees mostly suck. Look at Maccelli.
He’s not really a shutdown center, he’s 26 so he’s not super high on potential and he had 10 goals, 25 points. And that’s WITH 2 min of PP time per game. That’s a giant meh. And an RFA.
I don’t see the benefit or the point in giving up assets to acquire Hayton unless Utah takes back Maccelli or Robertson as a 1 for 1 swap of RFAs.
Blueger would be lower on my list but an option if the others disappear. Would much prefer Jenner, Sissons, Acciari and Stenlund. All 4 could probably be signed for 12 million.
Leafs needs a few C and Chayka like him. He did score 20 and 19 goals the years prior t this season ending and could be a cheap add to the Leafs.
Utah has other C in the pipeline that will need ice time such as Iginla, Beaudoin and Smith. So he is expendableJune 23, 2026 at 7:46 am #75557senstrolltwo

this is a pretty odd statement on Maccelli, he was a 4th round pick, and getting a player who scores 45-50 points out of the 4th round is pretty much a home run.
If he was drafted 5th overall or something, I guess he sucks?
if you look at the 2, 3 and 4th rounds from 2019 he is 4th in points per game. thats a got to be one of the best picks he made.

With Florida bulking up, the Leafs better take this in consideration when they make a deal. Yes, the Leafs have to get younger, but they need to get harder to play against. Move off of Robertson and Maccelli. They’re just guys who score when the game is out of reach, either way.

ParticipantHayton could also be a dark horse as a C the Leafs pursue.
He was a Chayka draftee.Blueger could be another option as well if he makes it to UFA status.

Robertson Carlo Colorado 1st and Stolarz🤔
I don’t think we’d get Zellweger as well for the above.

Anaheim would say no and it also solves zero of the Leafs problems.
The Leafs priority should be to add four (yes four) high FO% centers to the team. Jenner (3C), Sissons (3RW), Stenlund (4C) and Acciari (4RW).
None of them are big scorers but it would take 100% of the D-Zone FOs away from Matthews and Tavares while still guaranteeing you win 55-60% of the FOs overall. It puts Matthews and Tavares in the O-Zone full time and keeps them healthy.
This would increase the FO%, increase the forecheck, increase possession and keeps the PK strong.
