Player Discussion: Trevor Moore

[LeafingTheWay]

I keep hearing people say oh we are going to move a Zaitsev or a Marleau etc. Quick 10.5m off the books. But who will take those contracts and if so were going to have to take money back. I could see Brown easily moved for a pick or prospect.

Guys like Moore & Gauthier will be perfect for 4th line next year at league minimum. Me wonders if Lindholm will even be back. $975K?

Marleau won't get traded because of that NMC. Zaitsev can and should be traded. Teams like Arizona have proven in the past that they'll take the burden of the contract if they receive an asset as well. I don't think Arizona will be doing it anymore because they're not in that phase anymore. But the next rebuilding team will. Trade Zaitsev + 2nd + B level prospect (Aka a Brooks level prospect) for cheap. Also, isn't the NHL cap floor going to increase next season a lot? A lot of rebuilding teams will need to hit that floor.

Here's the full part of the Trevor Moore part, so you don't need to click unless you absolutely want to

Solid write up. Thanks.

One thing though. Do you not think they can get a 2 year deal done with Moore closer to the league minimum?

I think they definitely can get a deal closer to that and just like what the article says, those cheap almost league minimum deals are going to be very handy for the Leafs.

Possibly. Somewhere in the 700-900K.

 

[Boutette]

I don't see the Goat here, at this time next season, he will be gone

Lindholm is a pending UFA, and Gauthier is signed through 2020. How many more centers do we have in the org to replace them both?

He's signed this year for $925K, just qualifying him will cost $971K. Mabye he goes for a Marincin like one way deal, maybe not. Doubtful he's signed for league minimum, though.

Lindholm will be signed and Brooks is going to be a good one, I'm very impressed with Brooks, very smart player, hunts the puck down like Marner, great 2 way game

Hoping we pull a washington and Orpik Marleau even tho it's unlikely.

Wouldn't mind having both Moore and Hyman in the lineup at the same time

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

He's an okay 4th liner but I have no idea what he's doing on the powerplay other than suppressing Kapanen's point totals in a contract year.

I really don't think they'll do that. There's too much politics when it comes to this type of stuff. Even though we'd be much better off without Marleau's contract (especially since he's not even close to worth it), no one in Leafs management Dubas included would be ok with cutting him off when he left SJ specifically to contend.

The only loophole I could see (this is a far, far stretch that should be one of the last resorts) is if they trade Marleau + an asset now to a tanking team to buy out, and then re-sign Marleau for a cheapass contract.

That's exactly what he's saying by Orpik Marleau

 

[ShaneFalco]

He should stick around when everyone is healthy. He adds a nice dimension to the 4th line

 

[HamiltonNHL]

How many times have the Leafs gone to the shootout this year?

or in the playoffs?

Moore is a Lefty ... that is good

 

[EXTRAS]

How's buddy looked? Will he ever be a solid 2nd liner or strictly 4th liner dude.

I think he can be a solid 3rd liner. He is by himself offensively alongside Gauthier and Brown.

The Orpik route will most likely happen or they will literally blow the league up with a NBA type trade where they trade Marleau to a team and trade him back but the other team retained half his salary.

 

[2022 Stanley Cup]

My Winger Rankings: 1. Marner 2. Willy 3. Kap 4. Hyman 5. AJ 6. Moore 7. Ennis 8. Brown 9. Marleau

He's a solid middle 6 winger right now and he's stuck behind Marleau and Brown unfortunately.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

He should stick. He's better than Ennis

And he doesn't.

AJ ?

 

[2022 Stanley Cup]

AJ ?

Johnsson, his name's a lot to type out sometimes.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

He’s a valuable contract and left winger for us

 

[justafan22]

He has more value next year than he does this year.

He isn't better than Brown despite what this board says at the moment.

 

[Hustlr]

Bump for first hit of the game

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Zach Hyman - should have kept.
Trevor Moore - should have kept.
