Friedman: Leafs willing to move 1st round pick.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If he gets Tanev and Markstom both for Leafs pick Treliving deserves GM of year

Obviously it would be more than that.

 

[HuGort]

Tre is always willing to trade high picks, but he never traded one for a pure rental. Whatever guy they get for the first will have term attached.

Tanev is out of picture then.

 

[crazyfisherman]

Tanev is out of picture then.

Id be very shocked if a 1st is moved for just tanev from tre, its very different than how he operated with us. Maybe if hes trying yo save hes job or something, but Idk why he would get desperate first year

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Tanev is out of picture then.

Unless he comes with an extension

Most Leaf fans aren't going to like this.

On the most recent 32 thoughts podcast Friedman that the Maple Leafs are in fact willing to move their 1st round pick, there had been speculation that Treliving did not want to move the 1st round pick prior to Friedman report.

What he did say was that they didn't want to move their 1st round pick for pure rental, he said that if they are going to trade it they wanted to try and get a couple of players, he brought of Tanev and Zadorov as an example he said that when they were trying to acquire both Tanev and Zadorov their 1st round pick was in play.

He mentioned a package of Tanev and Markstrom as an Example.

He made it sound if Toronto is going to do something It's going to be fairly big.

Speaking of Tanev he also said he didn't think Vancouver could do it.

And brought up a potential Tanev and Hanifin package.

I don't know you do it because you'd have to match salaries, but if there was a way to land both Tanev and Markstrom there isn't much I wouldn't put on the table.

I feel like goaltending is What's holding this team back, I feel like It's cost them close to 15 points.

Samsonov has been AWFUL the majority of the year

Woll looked promising but then he got hurt, he's been hurt for 2 months and by all accounts he's out at least another month

Martin Jones has been solid but he's also Martin Jones.

There has also been rumours of Treliving wanting Risto out of Philadelphia, maybe he tries to get Risto and Seeler, or Risto and Walker.

Or maybe he tries his other former team and targets Dumba and Vejmelka, we know for a fact he tried to sign Dumba in the Summer but Dumba wanted 5 years so they went with Klingberg which started off good and then didn't work at all.

I thought they might keep their 1st this year and I'm good with that if they do.

But it doesn't sound like they will, or at least don't want to and I'm good with that too, as long as the player has term or signs an extension.

You think goaltending is what is keeping them from being the best team in the league? lol

 

[Boud]

Actually yes.

Actually no

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Up until about 2 weeks ago Samsonov had an 862 save%.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Time for Hawks/Leafs to hook up on another deal

Conner Murphy to Leafs

Hard to play in front of a bad goalie. Guys tend to run around trying to do too much. They get stretched out too in the D zone trying to prevent shots that aren’t high danger. Bad goalies make a mess.

I could see it.

 

[Suntouchable13]

....... Are we even in a position to spend more? at some point we have to restock the cupboards.
year after year after year of spending should have caught up to us by now.

All this spending year after year should have resulted in at least one deep run, but nope. Leafs now have barely any assets to upgrade anything and way too much money tied up in 3 players with nothing to really show for it in the playoffs. This is not directed at you, Arthur, just in general: it doesn't matter what they add or don't add, the core players need to step up big time when it matters. All of this spending in the past proves that it doesn't matter what you add on the periphery. Only the core players can lead you anywhere. And they have not yet. That's why I oppose any more big trade deadline moves. Spend a 1st round pick on Tanev, so what? He doesn't move the needle.

 

[Matthews4Calder]

to tronna: Saros, Carrier,

to nash: Jarnkrok, Samsonov, Lilejgren 2024 1st, 2025 1st, 2024 2nd Knies,

I think we need to add more. Let's throw in Marner too. Jesus.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Problem is idk that there is enough cap after the core to get much more than dead weight, and the ones that do well end up needing too much money to keep and get moved

I have to imagine they could do a lot better than this.

Would it be enough? I don't know either....


At this point I'm open to changing whatever we need to change. Would trading Marner result in a better team around Matthews/Nylander/Rielly?


As that relates back to the thread topic....not sure the deadline is the time to make those sorts of moves from a buyer perspective. It might make more sense to put the 1st in play at the draft if this is the level of change we're thinking of making.

 

[mr figgles]

They need a couple of scorers, a couple of defensemen, and a goalie. Let’s see if they can get them all in a package for a 1st and fit them under the cap.

 

[NoelVilla]

Hmm

That all depends on what you get back from marner + moves after that.

I think some of that cap space allocated to a younger defensemen would go a long way

 

[MoneyManny]

First for Zadorov? Why would the Leafs give up a first for a guy that was just traded for a third?

Wait until you hear about Monahan.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Leaf fans that are against trading a 1st are weird

Why? What has trading their first in the past done? Let the core prove that they can carry the team. So far, that has not happened. They got plenty of help at the deadline before in previous years. Why should the Leafs waste anymore of their precious assets? They will because they are a dumb organization.

 

[Matthews4Calder]

It better be for Saros or I’m not interested.

Knowing Treliving, he’ll do something dumb and trade it for his boy in Calgary Tanev.

Yep wouldn't surprise me. Trade for an overaged defensemen who I give credit has stayed healthy in Calgary but while in Vancouver always injured. He's not going to put you over the top. More problems on this team than their D and no way of fixing it unless one of the big 4 go.

 

[TheScandal89]

I guess a season is never complete without the Leafs trading their 1st away lol.

I think we all liked Tres 1st round pick last year, personally I would like to see another because this team doesn't look good enough to win imo. Will trading a 1st + catapult this team back to being contenders? I really don't know.

I could invision a scenario where you look to get Tanev + Markstrom because the team has holes in net and defensively. Now Woll was pretty good, but how he comes back from injury is anybodies question.

Depends on the return

 

[TheScandal89]

Depends on the return

You were too fast lol, I edited a little more. But you can only get so much out of a mid to late 1st

 

[FrozenJagrt]

I have no problem with the Leafs trading their first. I have a big problem with the guy that gets to make that decision though. I have absolutely zero faith in Treliving's ability to make smart moves.

 

[Sniper99]

New boss.

The same as the old boss.

Just dont trade a 1st for another broke down forward like Nick Foligno was. Get it right this time.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Seems like every other player wants to play for the Maple Leafs, and I'm not surprised. Now that we know the 1st round pick is in play, here's a trade I'd be willing to make:

TOR: Sidney Crosby
PIT: Matty Knies, 1st

Pens are shite this year. Everyone knows this. GM Corsi King should do the right thing and set Sidney free. He would instantly demote Johnny to the 3rd line, where he belongs. This is a trade forged in the depths of HELL. With this one simple move, Toronto ensures the Cup win.

The price for Crosby would be far higher.
