Speculation: LW targets

[Mickey Marner]

I'd be okay with Tatar as a buy low option. I don't think we're going to be winning any bidding wars.

 

[zeke]

I don't know if he's physically broken or not but I have a feeling Schwartz might slip through the UFA cracks a bit and he was one of the best players for STL during that cup run.

Some days I feel like a Left Wing Target.

I don't know if he's physically broken or not but I have a feeling Schwartz might slip through the UFA cracks a bit and he was one of the best players for STL during that cup run.

I voted for Schwartz as well.

 

[Magic Man]

Top-6 - Landeskog, Hall, Coleman, Hyman
Bottom-6 - Foligno, Goodrow, Calvert, McGinn, Bunting, Granlund

Have been a fan of Schwartz for a while. His offensive output is pretty streaky but his overall effort is always there and for a smaller guy he’s not afraid to go into dirty areas.

What kind of contract do you think he’d get this off-season?

 

[OVO16]

Trade for Bertuzzi
Sign Joel Armia for Hyman role
Sign Shwartz if you can for cheap
Sign Sean Kuraly or Jordan Martinook for 4th line LW

* Assuming Kerfoot taken by Seattle. Engvall also traded away for a pick of some sort

Bertuzzi - Mathews - Marner
Armia - Tavares - Nylander
Schwartz - McCann - Mikheyev
Kuraly/Martinook - Spezza - Simmonds

 

[TMLAM34]

This is what I’m hoping to see for our forward group.

Schwartz - Matthews - Nylander
McCann - Tavares - Marner
McGinn - Roy - Mikheyev
Simmonds - Brooks - Spezza

[The Podium]

factor in what players are being paid for perspective before complaining about players...........

I think thats the whole point of the original post. Hyman will be paid about half of Marner as early as next week.

Logic: 0 goals in... how many games? For how much more? I'm sure you know that.

I'm not even a Marner hater...

Ya, that sniper Marner cant put the puck in the net....

Im all aboard the trade Marner train, but criticizing his goal scoring is odd...

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Granlund is a UFA

Similar names but I believe he's talking about Connor Garland of the Yotes . Good player but so tiny .

Armia, isn't playing above Schwartz

 

[OVO16]

Armia, isn't playing above Schwartz

Doesn't matter. Sure sitch it up. I just think Tavares needs a type of player who plays a big body game and retrieves pucks.

But regardless, these are the type of players they need to be targeting. Look at how Tampa won a cup.

Big Boys like Palat, Killorn, Goodrow, Maroon are all on the left side. Leafs got a long way to go

This looks pretty good to me . I might flip Schwartz and Armia but not much to complain about.

Come on man don't be that thick. You know exactly what I'm criticizing.

At least Tampa is losing Goodrow for Sure and most Likely one of Palat/Killorn or Gourde. They will take a hit size and skill-wise.

If we run pretty much the same team back it won't matter as we cant hang with a depleted Tampa group with the same losers as this year being on the team, but if we make big additions at forward and Tampa loses Palat/Kilorn + Goodrow + Coleman and finds their younger guys aren't as good as expected we might be able to beat them in a series

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Mark my words, if Kerfoot, Hyman and Andersen are gone, i bet you they make a massive push for Landeskog.

his wife is a local girl who probably couldn’t see her family for a year. Interesting how that will play into it

 

[The Iceman]

I don't know much about Landeskog other than plays on a top line, has not had a lot of team success in the playoffs and Brian Burke said best draft interview was Gabe.

Bertuzzi or Landeskog and I'm happy.

Edit: I guess you said might. It just feels pretty pie in the sky when we are comparing back to back champs to haven’t won a series since I can’t even remember

Just load up on goons to protect willy styles

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Coleman would closely replicate what Hyman did. He’s a better scorer, but not as good on the forecheck or at retrieving pucks. He might be better defensively.

Saad is a super simpler complimentary player. Up and down the wing. Plays his defensive position responsibly. Good finisher, but not creative.

Schwartz is probably the most interesting. At his best, he’s a harder working and grittier version of Nylander. He’s has an unreal shot.

Ya I like Schwartz a lot. Really think he would thrive in the top 6. Probably too expensive for Toronto though

 

[Stonehands1990]

I'd be okay with Tatar as a buy low option. I don't think we're going to be winning any bidding wars.

He’s also known to get benched in the playoffs. Perfect fit for this group
