take Petry and Gallagher!

 

[GoLeafsGo96]

Severson and Mayfield come to mind if NJ or NYI consider moving one of them.

if NJ would retain 50% on Severson I could see a pretty nice fit there.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

take Petry and Gallagher!

Yeah with what cap space? Leafs and Habs would need to do salary for salary.

 

[LosPollosHermanos]

Matthews and a 2nd will get you Chychrun !

 

[WTFMAN99]

Carson Soucy or Scott Mayfield seem like D targets for the Leafs

Surprised at the mention of Petry from the Habs fans...spoke very highly of him not too long ago.

Leafs could use a top 9 forward...finisher/physical/2-way at least 2/3 of those qualities

Likely need $$ going out in the form of Dermott, Holl, Kerfoot, Engvall or Ritchie. I suspect they prefer to keep Engvall though.

Connor Murphy...RHD with term and a manageable contract, also a leader in the locker room
Kevin Lankinen...back up goalie that is a UFA next year and cheap contract
for
Mrazek (Cap Dump)
Nick Ritchie (Cap Dump)
Matthew Knies, Rodion Amirov, and Joseph Woll...three quality prospects to help CHI rebuild

That would have to take Amirov and a first. I would turn it down as a Devil fan.

Knies and Amirov are basically untouchable unless you're bringing something magnificent to the table while Murphy is simply "good"

 

[Legion34]

The only way that would happen that I can see is if they love knies because he is an Arizona boy

 

[unicornpig]

Of course they're interested, but their package won't be anywhere close to other teams....

 

[Nylanderthal]

Why not? Amirov Robertson Knies and Niemela are about as good as it goes for prospects that are actually trade bait, better high end prospects don’t generally get moved anymore. And if I have learned anything from listening to posters on here we all the leafs will lose in the first round again so their first would be pretty good too.

Murphy would be the Leafs best defensive defenseman.

Debatable between Muzzin, Brodie and Murphy and this is from someone that would very much like to see Murphy in the Leafs top 4, Knies is basically untouchable and I wouldn't move Amirov for Murphy, or at least I don't think I would.

Knies and Amirov are basically untouchable unless you're bringing something magnificent to the table while Murphy is simply "good"

But, you need to unload salary to give you guys a chance to win this year. Your cap is an issue. Campbell is playing his was into a big deal. This gives you cap flexibility and helps your blueline. Not many teams are gonna touch Mrazek with term at that cap hit

 

[Leaf Fans]

Matthews and a 2nd will get you Chychrun !

Of course it would, but so would much less.

I haven't seen enough of Amirov to make a call on him, but why is he bouncing between 3 different Russian leauges for? If he can't get the full ice time in the KHL, why not ship him to the AHL?

 

[LosPollosHermanos]

Of course it would, but so would much less.

Oh yeah, Matthews, knies, and a 1st for chychrun, Hayton and top 10 protected 1st.

Obviously, that would get it done. It would be a massive over-payment, but of course that would get it done. McDavid would get Jeff Skinner as well, but so would a lot less. Two teams are involved and of course Arizona wants to get as much as possible, but the other teams want to pay as low as they can. That is the start of negotiation.

He’s been stuck either injured/recovering from injury and then buried by a coach who favours vets. The problem he has imo is that his club team isn’t invested in him because they know he’s going overseas soon.
It’s been strange that he hasn’t gotten proper ice time with ufa, but it’s certainly not because of talent. Unfortunately they can’t bring him over as his deal locks him in over there for the season. I think the hope is that he comes over and attends camp next fall, if he predictably doesnt make the line up then we would see him in the AHL.
They way Toronto runs their AHL team and organization you’d think he’d be better served being over and I think a lot are expecting that to be the case next season , but the player decided he wanted to stay in Russia for this season.
He’s still incredibly young having just turned 20 in October.

He has been injured most of the season. He wants to stay in the KHL right now.

3.8M for 2 years after this season? Honestly not worried about it, obvious candidates are already Buffalo, Arizona and Chicago over the off-season. Small sweetener if need be but someone like Buffalo would probably view Mrazek as a good mentor/insurance for their young netminder.

Chicago wants to make playoffs and probably wants a goalie.

Arizona needs to hit a floor.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Jeff Skinner has term

Not getting Knies and Amirov for Murphy. Just isn't gonna happen. Up to me Amirov and Robertson are available for the right player but Knies is the one we hold onto.
