Go Leafs Go!!!!

 

[Agalloch]

3rd round pick?

 

[qqaz]

Booooo. Don't want him on the Leafs, thanks.

 

[andora]

would be a good pickup - this team needed emotion and experience .. muzzin brought some of that, they need more

 

[WTFMAN99]

Zaitsev+??? for Glendenning.

Otherwise...why? That is an expensive 4th line guy.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Dont see why the leafs would want to pay their #4C 1.8 million for the next 3 years....

 

[justafan22]

This year, that price would seem to be the starting point, given that older rental Brian Boyle – who has not scored in his last two playoff runs – fetched a second-round pick from Nashville earlier this week.

Not what the leafs can afford, unless Connor Brown is going in this deal.

Yeah adding $1.8m for another two years is going to be tough to fit. The story talks about the Red Wings retaining half his salary but you'd have to imagine the price would be higher than a 3rd rounder if that's the case. What do the Leafs really have to dangle? A 2020 2nd?

one of Connor Brown/Nikita Zaitsev need to be in the deal.

(Babcock isn't trading Hyman)

 

[BonMorrison]

No please god no. Babcock would put him in the top six and 2PP.

 

[Liferleafer]

one of Connor Brown/Nikita Zaitsev need to be in the deal.

(Babcock isn't trading Hyman)

Nor should he...

Yeah I don’t really understand it.

I’d like him on this team to solidify the 4th line - but his price is too high considering where the Leafs are with the cap. I wouldn’t want to surrender a significant asset for him either with having no first this coming draft.

Babcock isnt trading anyone, he's a coach. Trading Hyman would be a bad idea anyway.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Babcock still pining over Glendening. Can't blame him, Glendening was fantastic for him as a shutdown center in the playoffs. Not sure anything has changed since last year in terms of getting a deal done. Detroit still has zero pressure or reason to move Glendening.

 

[Liferleafer]

You see fellow Leafs fans? You keep bitching about Lindholm and Brown....and this is what you get....Babcock's forward version of Polak.

 

[justafan22]

If Brown's in the deal I don't hate it.

 

[kevsh]

I'd have to think the Wings could get a better return from another team than from the Leafs if Dubas is asking they eat part of his salary.

 

[Liferleafer]

If Brown's in the deal I don't hate it.

I hate that he's signed for 3 more years...

 

[Liferleafer]

Well...ya, he pretty much has to.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

because our 4th line isn't good enough

 

[justafan22]

I hate that he's signed for 3 more years...

huh? He's signed for 2 more. If detroit retains 50%, you're locking in a player at close to league minimum

 

[Cor]

Servelli has said this every deadline the past 3 seasons.

This is nothing. We have Lindholm and we have Gauthier at 4C. Both have been fine in the role for half or less than half the money.

There’s one player going to DET that would make this make sense, but I won’t name the name as everyone will go nuts

 

[Saidin]

The TSN app on my phone had this thread as a notification.

Ah...sorry, thought it was 3.
