Proposal: Filip Forsberg to Toronto

[canuckslover10]

Toronto gets Filip Forsberg at 50% retention (3,000,000)




Nashville gets Ilya Mikheyev, Ondrej Kase,2022 1st round pick, and Nick Robertson or Amirov ( I'd personally rather trade Robertson)


This trade works for both teams Toronto wants to win the cup now and this helps them and for the Preds they should be entering a retool/rebuild so this trade should help their futures.

No interest at all in paying that price for a rental regardless of retention. Leafs won't have the space to resign him

Well considering the leafs are in a win now mode I think this would be worth it for them even if it is for a year, especially if they win the cup which they would have a better chance of doing if they have Forsberg.

Also Dubas said yesterday that they are not interested in any pending UFA.


Yes, I understand that you probably would like the exact time in the interview, but I don't know it. I had it as background in the office yesterday.

 

[VanillaCoke]

That'd be a good trade

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Forsberg is nasty, but the leafs need to do their best to keep the window open. Robertson is cheap and therefore extremely valuable to the leafs (terrible) cap structure. Furthermore, sending out another 1st after donkey punting the foligno trade would likely be a no go from higher than dubas.

 

[Edgelord]

I would do it for Soup+Kase+1st for Rackell@50%

 

[Lays]

I would do it for Soup+Kase+1st for Rackell@50%

I’m sure you would

 

[Edgelord]

I’m sure you would

I don't really have strong enough interest to go any higher than that

 

[glenbuis]

i think it would cost a bit more but toronto should definitely do it . another first prospect and maybe a second . wait till the deadline though .

 

[Soundgarden]

Mikheyev, Kase and a late first aren't really of interest to us, especially when we retain.

Robertson is a good prospect, but he's 5'9 and unproven in the NHL, I'd want more coming back.

 

[UseTheBoards]

One of Rodion or first, not both. Need to look at Forsberg closer though

 

[Boondock]

I would do it for Soup+Kase+1st for Rackell@50%

Soup has requested a trade (reducing his value) and just came off a season where he scored 7 goals and 17pts (0.3 ppg) and Kase has played 88 games over the past 4 seasons. Neither player carries value in this type of deal (maybe Soup has 3rd round value). The retention alone would cost an asset then you need to pay for the player. This seems like an extremely light offer.

Doesn't make much sense considering he literally gave up picks for Foligno who was useless,imo if Toronto can make this trade they should do it, mainly cause the chance of them winning a cup this year increases quite a bit.

 

[txpd]

Do the Leafs really need more skill, star forwards? Where does he play? Who are you taking off pp1 to make room? Marner or Nylander?

how can he speak on anything long term when this is possibly is his last year.

Yeah, I'm not seeing a lot here worth trading our best forward for (Robertson is nice, but Forsberg plays with size, I'd hate to swap that for a skilled undersized guy). Also, Poile is very averse to retaining on players at all, so it would be more likely we'd taken on some short-term salary in a deal. (not that I think Forsberg is likely to get traded either way).

lol... All this for a few months of him?

 

[Leafs87]

They literally just signed Kase and shouldn’t be trading any more futures. With their cap situation they need elc contribution
Matthew’s has like 3 years before he could bolt

 

[Leaf Fans]

Yes, this could be the last day of our lives.

 

[Menzinger]

I don't think the Leafs would be willing to give up a 1st and one of their top forward prospects for a rental at this point.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

seems like a quantity for quality trade...

 

[CatchyTune]

What else would u expect for a rental? this is too much value if anything.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Doesn’t seem like a good fit. Don’t see Toronto having the quality tradable pieces to get Forsberg. He’s a stud and if he was on the market some teams would pay big for him, especially at 50%

 

[glenbuis]

i know but i'm a habs fan and i love seeing toronto hand out firsts and their good prospects for 10-15 game stints . eventually i would think the leafs would stop that but they keep doing it
