Proposal: DAL & TOR, DAL & FLA, and DAL & PIT (Deadline deals)

[Ledge And Dairy]

Just a reminder Pavelski is top 10 in points IN THE NHL

I doubt he gets traded. But man hes worth a 1st an premium young player.

He will get a 1st, he isn't returning a blue chip prospect on top of that as a rental though.

 

[WTFMAN99]

TOR receives: John Klingberg (50% retained, pending UFA)

DAL receives: 2022 1st rounder, Nicholas Robertson, and Nick Ritchie (1 year left @ 2.5mil)

_______

FLA receives: Joe Pavelski (50% retained, pending UFA), 2022 3rd rounder

DAL receives: 2023 1st rounder, Owen Tippet (pending RFA), and Aleksi Heponiemi (pending RFA)

_______

PIT receives: Alexander Radulov (50% retained, pending UFA)

DAL receives: 2022 2nd rounder

_______

If you're the GM of TOR, FLA, or PIT do you accept these offers from DAL at the trade deadline? Dallas picks up some high draft picks and moves towards a younger lineup, while top contenders add some big pieces of a playoff run. Thoughts?

Value isn't necessarily bad for Toronto compared to past rentals but I wouldn't do it. I'd want someone with term if we're giving up one of our better prospects and a 1st.

Rielly and to a lesser extent, Sandin are pretty much in place to drive offense from the back end already...need more of a defensive minded right handed shot for the top 4.

 

[Morgs]

Leafs say no.

Might get one of either a 1st or a prospect like Robby for a guy like Klingberg, but both is not happening.

 

[AvroArrow]

Horrible deals for Toronto/Florida

 

[Dr Pepper]

Not sure if Toronto wants or needs Klingberg. Probably the least likely of the three.

I like the idea of Florida reuniting Pavs with Thornton for another playoff run......but as others have said that is a steep price.

Radulov to Pittsburgh for a 2nd? Hope he likes Primanti Bros.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

 

[Goalie_Bob]

A 2nd is way too much for Radulov at his current production. 1 goal in 33 games.....yikes.

Even at 50% retention I wouldn't pay more than a 4th or 5th. And that doesn't even get into that the Pens don't need a RW.

 

[Bishop7979]

The only way a 35 year old with one goal in over 30 games is getting a 2nd is if Dallas takes zucker back in the deal while eating some of radulovs salary so the pens can pick up an actual productive forward at the trade deadline.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Ritchie's cap hit is only relevant because of Toronto's cap situation, if you don't want it then buy him out for a 300k cap hit. That's probably what Toronto will do this offseason anyways

I think the buyout is 2.5 x 67% over 2 years, so 833k a year for 2 years.

 

[Beezeral]

FLA receives: Joe Pavelski (50% retained, pending UFA), 2022 3rd rounder

DAL receives: 2023 1st rounder, Owen Tippet (pending RFA), and Aleksi Heponiemi (pending RFA)

WOOF!

No its 300k next year and 1.1 in 23/24

Thanks, so the buyout is not 300k then.

 

[Peat]

I think I've asked this before and forgotten the answer - but can Radulov play left wing well? Because we're pretty set on the right.

In any case... yeah, minimal interest on a guy who had core surgery last off-season with those numbers. Seems to take most skaters a long time to properly recover from it, so I don't think he'd be any better in a new environment.

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

Klingberg is not te defenceman the Leafs should be pursuing

Florida should go all in with Pavelski and Klingberg

 

[TGWL]

Can somebody tell me how Radulov is shooting at 1.9%? Did he have a wrist injury or just taking some whiffs to the goalies chest?

He has a coach who stifles offense and has stuck him on the 4th line with offensive black holes for line mates for the most of the season.

It's odd to see Caufield, Voracek, Palmieri, Radulov, and Donskoi bottom 10 in shooting percentage (filter for at least 25 shots and forwards). All with under 2% shooting percentage.

 

[Torontonian]

I don't think Toronto would be willing part ways with a first and one of their top prospects for 30 games of Klingberg, and to get rid of Ritchie.

As others have said, Klingberg is not the type of D Toronto would be looking for at the TDL, they are looking for a shutdown d-man for the 2nd pairing.

That sounds like Esa Lindells music

 

[Desert Panther]

He is excellent no doubt. He is also a 37 year old rental and Florida is stacked at forward. If we were going to pay all these assets for a rental (and I really don't think we should), then it would be a young-ish defenseman who may re-sign with us.
It's a bad fit.

It is 300k for next season, the cap will have a larger jump the year after making the 1.1 less relevant

Okay I was just saying it’s not 300k total, and now they’re saying the cap might not go up 1 million, because of the lack of attendance in Canada , as part of the reason.

The cap going up 1M or not next year has nothing to do with the cap 2 years from now

Dallas laughs at Toronto's face.

What's wrong with Toronto's face?

We have a realist leaf’s fan. He says 30 games. Not expecting a deep playoff run I guess. First round exit it is.
