How aggressive should the Leafs be at the deadline? Whimper or All In?

How does Shanny still have a job? He wanted to actually extend Dubas, look at the damage Dubas has done to this team. Tre is handcuffed. Shanahan is clueless.

Because this is good enough in corporate eyes.

Yep. It's profitable. Few waves,, easy money just keep selling the hope and that we are contenders until we can't. Then do something and have a new excuse or fall guys brought in.

Starting to think the "aggressive" or "all in" moves just aren't there this deadline outside of a few shockers like Rantanen and Jones.

Too many buyers, not enough sellers. Even the sellers are valuing term over futures in some scenarios right now with the pending cap skyrocket.

It's only Tuesday. There will be a lot of deals between now and the deadline on Friday, including by the Leafs.

True, just not sure the "big move" will be there.

Sounds like he doesn’t like his team.

I guess it depends on how we define "big" move. The Leafs will absolutely acquire a third line centre, so it's just a function of how impactful that player is.

I have a feeling it will be Nelson or Laughton or there won’t be any major move. I could also see Luke Schenn coming back @ 50 % for a 2nd rounder.

I agree with you and Jake Evans just reupped in montreal this afternoon. So another one off the board.

Schenn didn't cost a 2nd rounder 2 years ago, doubt he's worth a second this year especially considering his cap hit

I am skeptical that Lou will trade Nelson.

A 3rd/4th for Schenn as is, or a 2nd for Schenn with 50 % retention for 2 years sounds about right.

I am skeptical that Lou will trade Nelson.

Me too I think they will have to offer a really high price I.e Cowan

Treliving should NOT give up Minton, Cowan or 1st for that Laughton. Even with the way that Robertson is playing as of late, I don’t trade him for that guy.

I would rather roll the dice with Minton at 3 C for the playoffs.

 

[mydnyte]

I dont get why everyone figures we need to give up our top 3 prospect when the Oil basically gave up nothing for a double retained Frederic, who I would have loved the leafs to grab, and hope they chase as a UFA.
my top targets arent a #3C, it would only be RHD. Ritso, and Carlo should not be too costly to acquire and if cheap enough, I'd try to grab both.
if we 'need' a #3C because Domi cant cut it as #3C, then Domi needs to be moved out too.

 

[mydnyte]

I am skeptical that Lou will trade Nelson.

Lou is crazy, he'll prob trade Dobson and reup Nelson. Domi and Jarn are both 'Lou' type players, underwhelming, maybe he will be a buyer.
Mind you, the Isles are loaded with quality D, i'd take any of them here.
Tre should be asking about Pulock for sure, if they plan on retaining Dobson, as they have 5 RHD on the roster i think, and need some cap relief on the back end

[Suntouchable13]

Do not want B. Schenn. 3 more years after this? No thanks.

 

[Gabriel426]

Looking at what Oilers gave up for Frederic, maybe a 3rd rounder plus Timmins are enough for Carlo
