Toffoli is a guy that I have ranked fairly high from the list of players that are rumoured to be available. I think he is a good buy-low candidate, if the acquisition cost is a 2nd plus a prospect. He is a solid finisher, and his metrics seem to align with what I see on the ice - he is a strong 2-way player in every zone and is decent along the boards.
I am not sure I prefer Josh Anderson over Toffoli - for me they are neck-in-neck. Toffoli is a much more proven and rounded scorer, but Anderson adds other intangibles as well. I would be happy with either. Glad that the Flames are looking at Toffoli at least. I would bet he turns his game around in Calgary.
