Get Coleman out of those bad examples for one thing...he is a MAJOR part of this first place team. Toffoli is signed for two more seasons after this one on a great contract you are acting like it's a rental like other players you are mentioning. There are also no trade lists you are totally ignoring.

Also, there is more to hockey than scoring. Toffoli contributes far more to winning than a guy like PL. Have any of your amazing players won anything?

Waste a first lol, what a ridiculous take

Coleman is absolutely a part of those examples. He’s also on the wrong side of 30, and he’s not worth nearly $5 million a year for 6 more seasons. That contract will be horrible after the next 2-3 years.

And Toffoli was on a 19 goal pace this season lol. See? Inconsistent. Just because he’s signed for 2 more years doesn’t make it a better deal considering his inconsistency, and just because he won a cup with a team that was led by guys like Kopitar, Doughty, Carter, Williams, Quick, etc, doesn’t mean he’s a certified winner. What does he contribute more to winning than the guys I mentioned? Those guys actually have some star power to their name, and for good reason. There’s nothing special about Toffoli to justify a 1st round pick and have him play on the 3rd line, as that is an absolutely a waste. He’s slow and so are Monahan and Lucic on the 3rd line. A 2nd for him in that package would have been sufficient, especially if he’s not in our top 6. He’s a decent piece, but slow and going on the wrong side of 30 soon and very inconsistent, thus not worth a 1st as he doesn’t put us over the top to justify the 1st but for some reason you guys were absolutely in love with the thought of getting him regardless of what it took. So yes, it’s a waste of a 1st which should be used to get a star player that puts us over the top and can play in our top 6, not play on the 3rd line with 12 minutes a game.
