TSN: Leafs again kicking tires on Luke Glendening

[iBELEAF]

Luke Glendening (50% retained - 900K) for Dmytro Timashov + 2020 2nd

Wouldn't trade a those pieces individually for Glendening LOL

 

[iBELEAF]

Good asset management should have started by recognizing Zaitsev wasn’t worth 4.5 million dollars for 6 years.

Yeah and good asset management don't trade top young players for scraps

 

[Sniper99]

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

Nice to see fellow Leaf fans not ******* on Hyman as much as they used to now. Hes a hard worker, always liked him.

 

[nbwingsfan]

I don't think Glendening gets a 2nd

Hes better than Boyle who just did and at 50% retained hes league minimum AAV. He easily gets a 2nd + at that price

 

[Canada4Gold]

Dubas wouldn't do something this stupid, so I'm just hoping Babcock hasn't learned how to forge Dubas' signature yet.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Hes better than Boyle who just did and at 50% retained hes league minimum AAV. He easily gets a 2nd + at that price

He is not better than Boyle, that is not now, nor has it ever been true.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

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

I do. Glendening is signed for longer. Brown can go for a pick with nothing coming back. All Glendening does is create more problems. No need to be paying 1.8m next year for a 4th line forward when our entire 4th line should cost less than that next year (Moore-Gauthier-Marchment/some vet league min deal)

 

[Leaf Fans]

Good asset management should have started by recognizing Zaitsev wasn’t worth 4.5 million dollars for 6 years.

It was for 7 years at the time. Even Lou is not infallible. Still he gets more crap than he deserves.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

3rd round pick?

Holland already let it be known that he wont accept any thing less then a 2nd round pick for Glendening, Babcock is the one wanting Glendening. Holland and Blashill love him and we don't have to move him.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

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

Dude he's signed for 2 more years after this.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

To DET: Brown + Zaitsev
To TOR: Glendening + Jensen

oh yeah.


done deal.

That Zaitsev contract is brutal, Worse then DeKeysers take more then just Brown for Detroit to take on Zaitsev as well.

 

[ITM]

Nikita Zaitsev, Connor Brown & Dymtro Tymashov
for
Luke Glendening & Nick Jensen

then

Luke Glendening for Zack Kassian

Johnsson - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - - - Tavares - - - Marner
Marleau - - - Kadri - - - Kapanen
Ennis - - - Gauthier - - - Kassian

Muzzin - - - Rielly
Gardiner - Jensen
Dermott - Hainsey

No thank you to Glendening for any asset above the 5th round, and certainly no thanks to Glendening for Kassian.

Kassian is exactly what we don't need. Doesn't seem to provide the right kind of...sound judgement let's just say. I can foresee him taking penalties just when the competition needs a swing in momentum.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I'm sure cap considerations would be at play, but I think you're severely underrating Glendening with this comment. He is #3C quality and can play crucial minutes and kill penalties. Not just a run of the mill 4C. Dollar for Dollar, Glendening's 1.8 million would be some of the best money spent on any team.

He wouldn't be playing #3C in Toronto, he would be seeing very limited minutes on the 4th line. Hence why the leafs cant afford to pay their #4C 1.8 million or whatever long term.

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

He wouldn't be playing #3C in Toronto, he would be seeing very limited minutes on the 4th line. Hence why the leafs cant afford to pay their #4C 1.8 million or whatever long term.

Dude, if the coach is Babcock and the player is Glenny..... "very limited minutes" would turn into a meme on your board.

Serious.

 

[Halla]

only way it works is if the wings eat half his salary. 900k isnt much to them, but it is to the leafs cap

glendenning@900k for a 2nd + Holl?

Moore-Gauthier-Glendenning would be a decent enough 4th line for next year

 

[WilliamNylander]

To Detroit:
Zaitsev (25% retained about 1.3 mil)
Kapanen

To Toronto:
Luke Glendening (50% retained)
Nick Jensen
2019 3rd round pick

Kapanen would cost you Larkin.

For Glendening you’re looking at late picks.

 

[Raging Bull]

Kapanen would cost you Larkin.

Do you actually believe this? I love Kapanen as much as the next guy but what are you thinking?

 

[Leaf Fans]

That Zaitsev contract is brutal, Worse then DeKeysers take more then just Brown for Detroit to take on Zaitsev as well.

Why do people make up nonsense like that?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Do you actually believe this? I love Kapanen as much as the next guy but what are you thinking?

Yeah that is true.

 

[NoName]

...why?

The Leafs don’t need him. I don’t even like him on the 4th line ahwad of the guys already there.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

He’s absolutely not worth a second, but after that Boyle trade, I want to delude myself into believing it’s possible.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Kapanen would cost you Larkin.

For Glendening you’re looking at late picks.

LMFAO Kapanen cost us Larkin, Dude you need to get off your meds. Larkin right now is better then Nylander and Kapanen is nowhere near Larkins level.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Kapanen would cost you Larkin.

For Glendening you’re looking at late picks.

....and then you woke up.

 

[hector morrison]

Nice to see fellow Leaf fans not ******* on Hyman as much as they used to now. Hes a hard worker, always liked him.

I feel one coming on...uuuuhh...".he still doesn't have enough talent to be a top 6 winger in this league'....aaaahhhh!!! and there it is.
I did like the simple presence of mind last game to keep his stick on the ice while skating towards the net though! Basically Marner banked it in off Zacks stick!!!

 

[WilliamNylander]

LMFAO Kapanen cost us Larkin, Dude you need to get off your meds. Larkin right now is better then Nylander and Kapanen is nowhere near Larkins level.

Nobody else on your team (drafted or in the NHL) has value comparable to Kapanen. Larkin is the only piece that even gets close value wise. Leafs would have to add a bit but yeah.
