Proposal: Top 4 RD to Utah

[Mosby]

Sean Durzi may be out for a bit. Wondering if there is a fit trade wise that can come in and play top four minutes on the right side and potentially QB the PP as well?

Not likely this early into a season.

 

[Fro]

Can we interest you in an Ivan provorov?

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Liljegren ?

For McBain?

Liljegren ?

For McBain?

I think Utah would offer a pick for Liljegren, not McBain though. My thinking is Toronto then just holds onto that draft pick until the deadline when they can move it for something else.

 

[Schemp]

I don't think they'll even consider an offensive RHD @ the moment. Utah will see who they can bring up from Tucson 1st. The only person I can see Utah having interest in is Savard and it's way too early in the season for the Habs to consider it and I don't think Utah would paid the asking price anyways. I could say the same thing about Andersson too.
Right now Utah's best option is in Tucson!

Liljegren ?

For McBain?

I could Tre going for that, but does he really offer more than Holmberg?

 

[Some Other Flame]

Miromanov

Take your pick from Shattenkirk or Shultz.

 

[seanlinden]

Timothy Liljegren would probably be the "ideal" add, as somebody that has long term upside for a team that should still probably be thinking long term...

Question is -- are the Leafs prepared to part with him "for space and picks" rather than wanting a player in return.

There's a lot to like on Utah's roster -- in a perfect (and unrealistic) world, Liljegren+ gets you Hayton. As another poster mentioned, maybe it's as simple as McBain-Liljegren; which of course brings up the question of whether or not McBain is a material upgrade on what Pontus Holmberg brings in a #3C position.

Obviously, I'd imagine Utah's preference would be to do a "straight add" -- and if they can't get Lily for some combination of picks, then might make more sense to pick up a Shattenkirk or Schultz

name's Barrie, Tyson Barrie

 

[bernmeister]

Rs not a match, Lindgren does not qb and is lefty
if there is urgency for what he brings which is in top 4, let us know
but if usual suspects are too far gone
best bet form NHL stock is likely Liljigren

Cam fowler can play right side, can eat mins and can qb pp. if you arnt specifically looking for a right hand shot

Somebody call Victor Soderstrom!!!

This is appealing but I see two big hurdles:

1. NTC - not sure he’s waiving for Utah

2. Acquisition cost - Utah won’t want to give up a ton for a soon to be 33 year old.

I think for Anaheim when he’s moved it’s ultimately to create space… right now we have a big of a log jam on LHD…. So guys like lacombe and zellweger are playing right side.

Lhd we have
Fowler, dumolin, Mintyukov, lacombe , zellweger and vaakanainen.

Also have hinds solberg and dioncicio that prob arnt far off(specifically hinds)

Doubt Calgary would trade him already. Plus he's taken a huge step back the last two years.

Liljegren is interesting but the cost of acquisition is more interesting. Toronto will have a tough time moving him due to his $3M cap hit. If the acquisition cost is negligible and it's more so a move to create cap space for Toronto, then I could see Utah being interested.

Utah's not doing either of these deals.

 

[bernmeister]

Afterthought:
Lindgren not close enuf but zac jones is
lefty shot but plays either side
young
is good skater, does qb ing
we have fox for that
he is good depth, useful, but not indispensable

think he was like a 3rd? [from memory, forgive]
Jones + 4th for a likely to be late 2nd?

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

I'd do Liljegren to Utah for their potentially worst second round pick.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Just sign shattenkirk

 

[oconnor9sean]

Not sure how we haven’t gotten Iginla + for Andersson in here yet
