Proposal: Kucherov to the Leafs

[Atomos2]

Lol, JVR and Nylander? Did Kucherov suddenly turn into a #1 RHD?

 

[Butchered]

If the bolts want some cap relief, I'd do Pacioretty + 2nd round pick for Kucherov.

Pacioretty is signed for 3 more years @4.5 mil.

They really don't. They're tight, but moves can be made to clear space. Again, Kucherov will not be involved in any deal for any kind of money purposes. There's too much money in other places to move a top forward in the league to clear salary.

Kucherov (RFA rights)



JVR

2016 2nd round pick

Bolts, who are under extreme cap duress (Johnson, Palat, Drouin, etc) get a top pairing LW for Stamkos on a cap friendly deal while adding a high 2nd (likely 31-35th overall) and Leafs get an impact winger for the Matthews line.

Thoughts?

EDIT:



Nikita Kucherov (RFA Rights)



JVR (30% retention)

William Nylander

2016 2nd

Revised proposal.

no no no the Leafs have to give 3 unprotected 1sts and Matthews and pay a million a year of Stamkos salary plus all that other stuff above

then and only then would the trade be remotely fair for the burgeoning superstar that is our Nikita

If i am TB I'm thinking more Marner or Rielly instead of Nylander.

Not terrible....

No thanks to Pacioretty, Kucherov is wayyyyyyyyyy better in the playoffs.

 

[81Leafs50]

Because Kucherov would cost them 7 to 8M. If it's still too much you could add retention on JVR

DUH!

 

[81Leafs50]

If TB is under "cap duress" how does taking on a 4.25 x 2 contract help them?

If have to ask this question, then you just don't get it. Good day.

 

[Atomos2]

If i am TB I'm thinking more Marner or Rielly instead of Nylander.

And if I'm Toronto, I'm think more Hedman instead of Kucherov

I totally agree... we're talking cap era though. Guess Drouin will be free along with Vasilevsky and Killarney too

 

[AINEC*]

I love that people are still letting this OP get them worked up. Trash proposal after trash proposal with the same reactions every time.

I'll take the guy that shows up in the playoffs.

 

[Sarcastic]

Let's bring Kucherov home to Toronto! Come on Bolts fans, this is a great proposal. We'll even throw in a 3rd.

 

[tjs*]

Asking Tampa for Kucherov or Hedman is like asking Chicago for Kane or Keith (actually it's worse when you consider their relative ages) so stop with the ridiculous proposals people. Why don't you just start the countdown for the next big upcoming UFA who will never go to Toronto and annoy Islanders fans instead?

And if you think that you've obviously been using the same stuff that your former mayor did.

This proposal makes me wonder and worry about JVR. He hasn't seen action (NHL) since Feb. I hope he hasn't lost a step? Do you think he's still got what it takes to help the Leafs?

What?

JVR isn't the first player to break a bone in his body and miss some time...

 

[Atomos2]

lol.

Problem?

Your damn right we're bring Hedman into this if Rielly or Marner are involved.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

There is NOTHING that the Leaf fans would be willing to give in return that would make the trade worth the Lightning's time. What Lightning fans would ask for in return would be as insane to the Leaf fans as asking for Kucherov sounds to us.

And for the record: about half of every Leafs trade I've ever seen has included some variation of Kadri, JVR, Bozak and Phaneuf prior to his trade. Either you guys must be desperate to get rid of them or you are acutely aware that these players are nothing more than spare parts. So I ask: Why would they net such a substantial return?

More importantly, if you believe these players to be assets; then why trade them from a team that finished last place a season ago? Won't you need all the help you can get?

I simply don't know how to react to this. Shock?

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Reilly + Nylander/Marner... that would make me think about it

 

[ForSpareParts*]

What?

No. But he is a big (tall) player. Healing and rehab are a little longer/tougher for you tall people.

JVR proposals forever

If we had a nickel for every leafs fan trying to trade JVR we could keep the lights on at this site for a decade.

You know before you click them. If it's a leafs and someone proposal...it's a JVR thread.

Has anyone from another team started a "JVR to" topic?

You'd be a lot richer if you get a nickel for every post complaining about JVR being involved in proposals
