Roster Building/Team Building/Future Trade/Drafting thread.

I don’t believe the window is closed, just hoping Matthews doesn’t pull a Marner at the last year of his contract where he nixes trades at the deadline then doesn’t sign again. That is the only worry.

This team isn’t winning shit with 34 at the helm, him and his buddy Marner will be dispised by Leaf Nation when it’s all said and done, book it…….

Everyone brain storming roster moves...it's probably one of the more interesting off-seasons in a while.

Let's just hope Treliving doesn't sit on his hands again in terms of roster building. I'll be pretty sad if July 1st rolls around without a good amount of movement prior.

Chicago seems like the best landing spot for Domi. He had an excellent season there 2 years ago so in theory Kyle Davidson would be willing to take him on. He also played his best hockey as a Leaf on the same line as Bertuzzi.

I wonder if Chicago takes him for free or if the Leafs would have to take TJ Brodie and then just send Brodie to the AHL and take the one year 2.6M cap hit to rid themselves of Domi.

Another one bites the dust. Great deal for them.

Let's hope it actually ends up being as interesting as some of us imagine.

$2.33M is insanely good. Obviously he won’t play the full 6.

I’d sign Tavares to that deal

I wonder if they'd give us Dickinson for Domi

Taxes don't matter though

I think Jarnkrok/Kampf moves have to wait until July 1stish because of paying out the signing bonuses.

Robertson could be a draft day weekend type of move.

I was reading their trade board and someone speculated a Cirelli/Tuch swap. That would be a crazy next move for them. I could even see Buffalo retaining 50% on a deal like that and them opening up an additional 3.9M in cap space.

Why are we dumping a 50 point complimentary winger who raises his game in the playoffs?

Who does he complement? He is a net negative on the ice if he isn't stapled to Matthews and Berube has made it clear he won't do that.

That's a good signing for them.

Cirelli is on a sweetheart deal, a top end 2-way center, just had a career year and only turning 28. Not sure I see at all what this does for them. They don't need much cap space to shift into next season and they have plenty of other players they could dump if they want cap.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Not sure why people want to move Domi. He was worth every penny in the playoffs and we know he can produce beside AM as a MM replacement.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Man that is some bs on that Gourde deal...

I believe Cirelli has a full NTC that isn't getting waived for Buffalo of all places lol.

I'd actually be super interested but divisional rivalry likely says it's not happening.

He's not going anywhere for those reasons. His value is pretty low anyway. He'll be one of the players that I think Treliving hopes can take over some of the offense lost. He needs to be much better though.

Man that is some bs on that Gourde deal...

They gave him a ton of term to get that cap hit much lower. Just like Tanev really.

 

[Leaffan1991]

We are always going to be at a disadvantage with our taxes and super high cost of living... the nhl needs to figure out a way to make it a little easier to get players to come play in pricey markets and keep same amount of money

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

We’re a month out from Auston’s wingman no longer being on the team. Trading the guy who was second best at that job doesn’t seem prudent.

It depends what they value more. Do they think Paul can replace Cirelli's value if he's elevated to 2C with better linemates? Cirelli's most common 5v5 linemates were Kucherov and Hagel - he put up 47 ES points (20G/27A). Paul's most common 5v5 linemates were Hagel and Chaffee - he put up 35 ES points (20G/15A). Friedman reported they desperately wanted Tuch last year. Do they value Tuch>Cirelli, they are only 1 year apart in age.

I didn't come up with this idea. It was being discussed on Tampa's board.

 

[Leaffan1991]

He's not going anywhere for those reasons. He'll be the bet that he can replace some of the offense lost.

I can guarantee he would still want 3.75 from us for 6 years

His NTC starts July 1st, 2025.

Probably, yep. He wanted to stay in Tampa... for good reasons.

Tell Berube that he's the 2nd best for the job. I believe that title would still go to Knies but I get your point. I'm a Domi believer if he's with Auston. We just have a season's worth of evidence that Berube is not.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Gourmet deal is unbelievable


Edit - Lmaooo. I typed Gourde (autocorrect)
