I agree with the three games for him, but I don't know how Bellamare didn't get the same treatment

Whether Bellemare should have gotten more is something to consider, but Orpik's hit was far worse.

Bleacher report has the yotes pushing the Leafs to trade for 1st overall. They allegedly are offering their two firsts plus domi or dvorak
Be great if Sabres could swing trade with Leafs... 2016 1st & 2nd, 2017 1st, Girgensons, and Bogosian could make it happen.
As a leaf fan I say meh to the Coyotes offer... 7 is too far too drop...
I think Dvorak was the C for Marner so I would trade C for C but I think Matthews is better than both. I say they don't do it.
While true... another C doesn't hurt... Especially when we're giving up Girgensons (3rd or 4th line) for Matthews (1st or 2nd line).
Also... And perhaps a bigger point... It takes Mathews away from an up and coming division rival and places him with us. That's an equivalent to a 99 yard pick six in NFL speak... 14 point swing.
