GDT: July 1 - Free Agent Day

[colchar]

Go all in on Landeskog. 24yr old Skilled Powerforward. Fits our age core moving forward. Already a Captain of an NHL team to boot. Would be lethal besides Mathews.

What would that cost?

 

[Kiwi]

When the dust settles, I think we'll end up with Colin Miller from Vegas as was rumored a couple weeks back.

Carrick + 6th for Colin Miller.

Resign Roman Polak 1yr/1mill deal.

Rielly-Miller
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Hainsey-Polak

It's what I see happening

If that's our defense is see a lot of losses

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

What would that cost?

Marner or Nylander

And we say, no thanks

And thus, there's no deal to be made

 

[MJ65]

Whom ever says we signed a #6/7 dman for 3m is an "IDIOT" and knows nothing about NHL hockey.

I don't appreciate any disrespect - so please think before writing

This talk about trading for Duchene/Landeskog.. Sakic would want one of the big three at the rate he's going. No thanks.

I think Landeskog can be done without including the big 3. But again, it would still have to be a massive payment from our end. I suggested this a couple pages back.

C. Brown + Kapanen + Dermott for Landeskog

-We get to keep our Big 3 intact
-Still have young talent/options waiting in the wings (Leivo/Sosh/Rychel/Liljegren/Nielson/Valiev/etc..)
-Add a 24yr old skilled power forward who fits our age group/core moving forward

That's a big gamble you are taking, despite the fact how good Landeskog is

Brown, Dermott, and Kappy are very young and you do not know what they can turn in to in few years

Agreed. Plus I think Lou: "Too much." Sakic: "Not enough."

No deal to made again essentially.

 

[OVO16]

Its not ideal, but it's most likely our best bet after everything settles. Lou definitely aimed higher but probably couldn't find the perfect trade (ex: Hamonic).

But honestly though, is it really much worse than last year? Colin Miller is slightly better than Carrick. Hainsey may be slightly better than Hunwick.

Somehow we managed to make the playoffs last yr with our defense, I dont see how we cant again with Miller and Hainsey replacing Carrick and Hunwick

Looks like SJ doesn't have the best offer on the table for Marleau. There is still hope.

rather not have Marleau, our wing depth is fine, we need D and a centre to replace Bozak.

You may be right, but the point stands that I think we can trade for Landeskog without including the Big 3.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

can't he be a winger and still take faceoffs?
also I'd think Bergeron would have him beat, yah?

Over the course of their careers 100% yup, but Duchene was the best faceoff centre this season at 62.6%, with Bergeron at 60.1%. In 15/16 Duchene was at 57.9%, Bergeron at 57.1%. He'd be a centre for sure if he was here, likely at the expense of Bozak.

Yes its a risk, but I think this is a risk worth taking, mianly due to Landekogs age.

If Landy was 28yrs old+, I wouldve said no. But being 24 yrd old and potentialy being such a great fit besides Mathews, I would take it. But thats just me

 

[Kurisu]

read that it's between us, Ducks and Sharks for Marleau.

Leafs bring back Colin Greening. My guess is he'll be the Marlies captain.

He allows us to trade JVR without losing the scoring and get a valuable asset in the process. Otherwise we likely keep JVR and have nothing to show for him when is contract is up.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Pittsburgh signs our old friend Mr. McKegg!

I think the franchise is ready toove beyond and replace JVR, given how terrible he was in the playoffs this past year. Marleau takes his place, and you redeem the expiring asset for something the team needs.

Miller is even less equipped to play alongside Rielly than Carrick is
He's been sheltered to the enth degree

Rielly Hainsey
Gardiner Zaitsev
Dermott/Rosen/Marincin Carrick

That's what I think the defense is going to look like

Leafs sign Cliegg Lars for 1 year at $850K

Leafs sign Zam Wesell, 2 years at 750k

That's an awful lot for a moisture farmer and a space assassin

Lol that's awesome.
We just need to add RHD Jango Fett.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Marlies depth I guess, but this reduces our contract space to uncomfortable territory

how do we beat California

 

[Rare Jewel]

Has Lou spoke yet?

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Emelin traded to Nashville. Nashville is probably getting ready for a Duchene trade.
