Post Deadline Transactions and Signings

[kb]

So substantial downgrades... sounds good.

I lol'd

 

[rojac]

Or we can say the early second (33rd and 34th pick) being a late 1st, lol

As I've said elsewhere, it all depends on the story you're trying to tell.

 

[ACC1224]

Why not just call it what it is?

If you feel that pick 1 - 32 is the same thing, knock yourself out.

Apparently the Sabres are trying to acquire Wilson. If he’s actually available, Dubas BETTER go all out to get him! If he ends up getting moved to anywhere but the Leafs, I’ll be pissed!!

Yeah if Wilson is available you go get him... tough to compete with Buffalo's assets though.

 

[keonsbitterness]

If we don't get a top 9 forward option I think it speaks to the organization having faith in Knies contributing.

Chances are the Leafs now know his intentions.

 

[Gabriel426]

Wilson, Wilson, Wilson, lol.

I felt like Tom Hanks in Cast Away when I type that.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Who's realistically available at this time though that's definitive upgrade?

Lots of players to be honest. I don't think Kerfoot is really that good. Henrique would be a nice upgrade

I can't imagine them trading Wilson without demanding Knies in return.

 

[ACC1224]

Does Wilson have a say in where he goes?

Source? I haven't seen this anywhere, not even mentioned on Sabres board

 

[rojac]

Justin holl for Jordan greenway
Kerfoot for goalie depth

Not sure that Greenway is a player that the Leafs want.

Any Kerfoot move needs to be a team that he is willing to go to (that is, one of the teams on the 10 team list he would have submitted July 1st or a team he is willing to waive for).

Not saying I've seen it but if it's true Holy f*** you gotta pony tf up man

 

[saltming]

I'm not wearing pants.

This has always been the assumption though

 

[Gabriel426]

The only time I heard it mentioned was Pens clearing spaces for him. Then someone at Sportsnet just now said it is interesting to hear that last night.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

What’s been said about Wilson?

 

[LeafSteel]

I am find with forwards esp since there is nothing left unless someone coming out from left field.

Holmberg got game and can play.

I actually find myself very comfortable at the thought of Holmberg playing 4RW in the playoffs.

Not as much responsibility as 4C and I haven't seen anything from him that shows he couldn't do it, and he'd bring some scoring potential to the line.

A lot can change between now and the Playoffs, but I think Holmberg will be given a chance in the remaining games to show he won't be out of place in the lineup.

 

[Gabriel426]

Marcus Foligno would be good, not as expensive as Wilson but he will do the job.

 

[29Potvin]

What’s been said about Wilson?

Eklund

 

[TheRumble]

If we are seriously considering going into the post season with 10 NHL ready defensemen and no upgrades on the bottom 6 - Lafferty just replaces Engvall that is not an upgrade, I'd give this deadline a mediocre C- because we essentially lost Sandin for no apparent reason.

We can afford to trade Gustafsson, Holl, the 2023 1st and Kerfoot assuming there is an immediate upgrade to him.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Eklund

Ah so Wilson is not moving, as expected lol

 

[Schenn]

Nothing, dudes are reading to much facebook

I would try Holmberg on the 3rd line with JT.
Personally, I think JT will center our 3rd line and let him feast on opposing bottom 6.
ROR and MM will be our 2nd line with Calle.

 

[29Potvin]

Yup, said Buff is pushing hard for him....Also JVR to Col E5 lol

 

[cyris]

Marcus Foligno would be good, not as expensive as Wilson but he will do the job.

There fanbase seems pretty open to moving him as well but have nearly all said their GM wouldn’t.
They seemed happy with the idea of Boston’s first and Kerfoot

 

[Leaffan1991]

We have no Tom Wilson's lol

Garland is a good low cost buy with retention.

Not everyone has to be Tom Wilson.
