LeBrun: Bringing in upper echelon goalie is "pretty big priority" for Leafs.

[Michel Beauchamp]

you said they don't have a good enough backup that's not true Woll is at least a good enough backup the only thing stopping him from being a starter is health

And that is not what I wrote...

 

[lanceuppercut75]

What are the options, hfboards?

Toskala, Gustavsson, Giguere, Kallgren.

Woll > Ullmark AINEC

So not only is a guy with 23 career NHL wins is better than the guy that won the Vezina Trophy and the Jennings Trophy last season but now INEC !!!!!! Well congratulations for bringing homerism to a new level never before seen on this site.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

The more I think about it, Ullmark is deal, if the Leafs are going to insist on going after a "big" goalie this summer and not wait until next summer (which I would prefer).

Ullmark is only 1 year and his 15 team NTC will make it so he can basically choose where he goes. The team / teams that he chooses won't have to pay Boston a lot because there's no bidding war. Reasonable cap hit, 1 year commitment only, not a lot of assets required to give up to acquire him. Vezina winner.

Ideally, if both goalies stay healthy, Berube gives Woll 30 starts and Ullmark can have 52. We need Woll playing so we can decide if he's our future starter, or maybe, or no. He needs an opportunity to show us what he can do.

Woll > Ullmark AINEC

If homerism was a disease, they‘d be giving you the last rites as we speak. This is just about the most laughable quote I have seen since a Toronto fan told me „we‘re building a dynasty!“ about 7 years ago. Congratulation on being the new delusion king of the hill, Toronto version.

 

[gdsmack267]

Jarry wins 50 games next year for Toronto. Gets hurt the last game of the season and Toronto is forced to start Matt Murray game 1 in the playoffs

Woll > Ullmark AINEC

hahahahahaha. What a maroon

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Whats that sound? Its the sound of Woll injuring himself with less than a second left on the clock.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

You can't get much more "upper-echelon" than two-time All Star Tristan Jarry.

 

[Strangle]

Y'all can shoo this away all ya want..... but this just reeeeeks of Jordan Binnington to the 6

Especially with the berube addition and combining it with the fact that binnington is likely much easier cost of acquisiton then any other top 10-12 goalie in the NHL(Maybe we retain a mill?). On top of being the stoic personality that can handle pressure and media in the playoffs, famously quoted as saying "do I look nervous?" on his way to stanley cup championship and has consistently proven to be a big game/playoff performer. Him playing with fire and losing his temper at times(didn't happen much if at all this year) should be something leafs actually want not hate on.(something Roy, Hasek and Hextall all had in them) Guy knows when his team needs to wake up and sometimes he takes it into his own hands to up the competetiveness lol. Honestly, as a blues fan i love his fire and would certainly miss him. But frankly we aren't winning another cup anytime soon and don't really need his services at the moment

No clue what i'd want as the return on him lol

For me, it’s saros or binnington.

I’m not feeling the markstrom or Gibson takes here.

And I’m in the binnington camp for exactly the reasons you’ve stated

 

[jjniner]

Strangle.. what is your best and final offer for JB?

 

[Schennanigans]

Trading the 1st for a goalie is such a maple leaf move and could totally see it happening.

Boston is in absolutely no rush to get rid of Ullmark; while there seems to be somewhat of a consensus that Ullmark would not be interested in coming to Toronto; even if Boston & Toronto could find a way to make a deal.

If the return isn't substantial for Boston, there's absolutely no reason to do a deal, and Toronto doesn't exactly have a ton of "substance" to offer up.

 

[Synergy27]

Shesterkin for Nylander.

 

[stats1]

Markstrom is a natural fit. Treliving was hard after Tanev so “upper echelon” /Calgary connection makes it a easy match

 

[Mr Positive]

Some smart team out there will nab Gibson. There is risk, but he plays in front of awful defense, and his play fades as the season goes on because hope dies, and the guy is a competitor. I want to see what happens if he plays in front of a great team

This ^ by December all hope is gone. Just atrocious D it’s a joke what he’s had to play behind. The guy has 30-35 shots by 2nd intermission. If he doesn’t stand on his head they have no chance

Over the last five years he's fourth in shots faced. Over the last three years he's fifth. Every goaltender ahead of him has put up way better numbers. Most overrated player on HF.

Just wondering if you feel the same way about how Marner's NMC impacts what the Leafs can get back in a deal?

Yeah. Unfortunately Leafs return will be less than we could otherwise reasonably expect for Marner.

It's well known that the Leafs have been looking for a top notch #1 gpaloe for a long long time.
