GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2022

[stickty111]

So rinse and repeat...Yay.

If we get a better 4th line thats good improvement. Our 4th line was unplayable last year

Picking up Colin White, Zach Aston-Reese + one of Strome/Malgin and maybe Comrie or Samsonov would be a good day.

Holl probably traded at some point in the next few days once teams figure out what they still need. There's always a need for a rhd

lol, please no to Malgin. Hell yes to Colin White, Strome, Aston-Reese. I'd even like Domi

If we're rolling the dice on players I want us to get guys that can skate strongly and are in that early to mid 20's age range

No more lines chock full of old guys that get curb stomped every time they hit the ice

Our young guys have plenty of experience, they don't need babysitting so let's get the team into a window where most of our players are in there primes still

That is where all of those non-tendered and buy out guys make a lot of sense.

That's the bin that interests me to

Any combination of Strome, Kubalik, Domi, Colin White or Ashton-Reese would be amazing. Kubalik/Domi would make the 2nd or 3rd line so much better.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Damn. That's a good deal for the Oilers.

 

[bansheebeat]

I'm fine moving Kerfoot if we put the money to good use. But losing Kerfoot and Mikheyev is a lot of speed to remove from the line-up.

 

[Nooodles]

People reporting Campbell to sign with Edmonton 5x5M for days now.
How the hell is this not tampering?

It's the open secret that the league is okay with. It's why so many free agents magically sign complex structured contracts the second free agency opens

Meh. Speed is good but this team will not lack speed without them. We need other things too.

 

[Antropovsky]

Damn. That's a good deal for the Oilers.

Oilers are not a very good team without Kane... it's too bad he has so much baggage that drives his price down.

[TheMadHatTrick]

-I'm hoping for Strome and Domi at a hometown discounts.
-Sign Samsonov or Comrie
-Resign Lybushkin
-Trade Holl

 

[stickty111]

I guess discussing contracts is allowed. If we did this, league would penalize us for tampering.
Congrats to Jack on his contract. Good guy but we are fine without him.

 

[Folignos Helmet]

He's going to be a Ranger almost guaranteed.

Id put my money on the kings

 

[Mattavarner]

I can see us picking up Comrie (although Murray Comrie still doesnt give me a ton of faith its all we can afford)
Maybe guys like Subban and Domi I wouldnt hate for depth roles, plus Subban as a leaf would be fun.
Hope they take a run at Dylan Strome, even moving Kerfoot if needed for cap
Some big bodies for the 4th line but not really sure whats out there on that front

 

[aingefan]

I like to see us revamp the 4th line:

Sign Zach Sanford and Zach Aston-Reese

Two Zach’s might be too much.
How about one Zack and one Cody?

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Any combination of Strome, Kubalik, Domi, Colin White or Ashton-Reese would be amazing. Kubalik/Domi would make the 2nd or 3rd line so much better.

Kubalik and Domi are the least interesting pieces on that list for me. Like the other 3 though.

 

[Macallan18]

-I'm hoping for Strome and Domi at a hometown discounts.
-Sign Samsonov or Comrie
-Resign Lybushkin
-Trade Holl

I think this pretty much nails is, just take out Domi, and Lybushkin is unlikely unless very cheap. If so, than yeah Holl is gone.
I am surprised there is so much negativity on Strome. He has huge upside potential still. His early years were wasted. He can be our second centre, and put Tavares on his left wing. May have to move Kerfoot to make it work.

Well the rules are rules. Why do they have them than.

I still hope Dubas files for tampering just for fun.

 

[justashadowof]

Using that capfriendly page, the Leafs have $6.3M in cap space needing to sign Engvall and Sandin plus a backup goalie and 2 more forwards. I'm not seeing much fireworks based on that situation unless there's a trade to free up cap space. A backup goalie will be signed and 3 NHL level forward grunts. I'm not sure if there's anyone to attract to take a severe hometown discount for a year. Perhaps Max Domi who has worn out several welcomes.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Strome could be an ok Spezza level replacement and 2nd line PP. I'm just not sure the cap space is there to fit him.

Dylan Strome is not a Spezza replacement that's a top 6 forward

 

[BertCorbeau]

That’s actually a really nice deal for the Oulers. If Kane keeps himself out of trouble it’s probably going to be a steal.

Happy to hear the Leafs are interested in Acciari .. he was a name I’ve brought up before that could be a solid, cheap depth add.

 

[Cor]

If we sign Dylan Strome, that indicates to me a revamped like 3 with Engvall, Kampf and someone else (ZAR?) becoming the line 4.

More of a 3A, 3B situation depending on game situation.
