GDT: Trade and Free Agency Thread - 2021/22 PART IV

[Avilaj07]

I would absolutely love J.T Miller on this team. I've been a big advocate of his for awhile now and think he would truly put this top 6 on a different level.

To Toronto-
J.T Miller 50% retention
Luke Schenn

To Vancouver-
Mikheyev
Robertson/Amirov
Holl
1st Round Pick

 

[Mickey Marner]

JT Miller with 50% retention for two playoff runs is worth giving up a top prospect. That’s a move I wouldn’t mind if the Leafs slightly overpaid for.

Please don’t waste picks/prospects on another Foligno.

Agreed. He's the one guy I would ante up for. Scores well, brings intensity, can play LW/C, plays both special teams.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Agreed. He's the one guy I would ante up for. Scores well, brings intensity, can play LW/C, plays both special teams.

Hertl at 50% would also be pretty insane though he is a UFa this summer

I was very early on the JT Miller train, but I think that their recent surge with Bbq Bruce should quiet down any real aspirations to make a huge trade from Vancouver's perspective. I would pay LARGE for JT tho.

I’m in the minority, but I backed and still back the Foligno trade.
Fully admitting it ended up horribly due to injury.
Both top pairings really hummed with Hyman….Adding a second one was a great idea.

I wonder if Miller is still on the block. Anyway...keep Mickey - I'd move Kerfoot ahead of him.


Two guys I'd be looking at are Giroux and Giordano.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Do you guys think we'll ever crack the top 2 in the Atlantic. It seems we always finish 3rd.

Keep Mikheyev over Kerfoot? I'm sorry but that's not a smart idea at all. Kerfoot has been one of our best players since last years playoffs. He can produce anywhere in the top 9 and plays solid all around hockey. Not to mention, his cap at 3.5 is pretty reasonable considering of what he brings to our team.

 

[Death or Glory]

I had higher expectations for Mrazek as I think most did and can't understand why his contract wasn't front loaded as Dubas usually does. He has to go especially to make room for Jack's new contract. I hate to give up Robertson but we need some cap relief.

To Toronto
Holtby
Hakanpaa

To Dallas
Mrazek
Robertson

Salary almost works, retain or add

Tulloch was on the Fan a few days ago and pointed out that Kerfoot's advanced stats are pretty bad and show that he's been coasting off of his line-mates. As an example, he pointed out that a line of JT-Nylander-Kerfoot actually has negative possession stats when on the ice together...and it's unlikely that it is because of JT or Nylander. He projected that Kefoot would show regression as the season progresses, especially if he's taken off that line.

Tulloch is a very smart hockey guy.

Also, we simply can't afford Kerfoot's cap hit on the wing, so if he doesn't go this season, he'll have to go in the off-season regardless. This would be a good opportunity to sell high on him.

I think Mickey brings more to the table, tbh. I bet if he gets minutes with JT and Nylander, he'll produce.

 

[Rude Dog]

I mean... we also have Kerfoot, Bunting, Mikheyev, Spezza, Kase... pretty solid support group. Frankly I'm not concerned at all about scoring.

While I cheer for Mikey to do well, the guy was god awful in the playoffs the last two years. Not sure he has it in him. Zero points and zero impact.

Yeah thats super interesting, thanks for posting. Im down with trading Kerfoot but dont think Mik is the answer though. Kerfoot on my eye test does a lot of running around but doesnt seem to accomplish much so havent been a big fan anyway.

Plus with the story of him wanting out makes me think he wont stick around anyway. I want my players to bleed blue

 

[Stephen]

He also whiffed pretty bad on that yawning cage there vs the Yotes. I don't think that earns you an extended NHL look... (edit, sorry I thought you were talking about Joey Anderson).

On the other hand, I put the chances of the Leafs acquiring Ryan Dzingel to be good after last night's showing. Making $1.1 million, flying all over the place and had a night vs Toronto. Call him this year's Dave Rittich.

I guess I look at the Foligno trade and im not mad, just wish we had done the Tampa model and moved someone with an extra year left on a good deal.
A Miles Wood type maybe?

Fair enough, but keep in mind that he was just coming off a big injury - he couldn't shoot and his conditioning was off. I'm willing to give him a pass for last year. This coming run will be decisive on that front.

Dzingel in an interesting name, and we can use another middle-six C for the stretch run, but if you're knocking Mickey for not producing in the playoffs, you can't turn a blind eye to Dzingel's 4 points in 28 playoff games.

Dzingel would be a wing addition, definitely not a centre.

I agree with this. I think he deserves one more look in the playoffs.

He's starting to score lately. If this is not a fluke, and he's turned a corner, we're talking about a 20 goal-scoring, extremely fast, defensively-aware, PK beast. Very valuable.

Think so? Every time I listen to him on a podcast his hockey knowledge is basically "what is a player's shot share metrics" without context. An example was early on when he wasn't a huge fan of Kampf when there is metrics out there that show Kampf keeps high danger chances from out net while also getting the puck out of our zone and into the opposition's under our own control while being absolutely sunk in the d-zone against good qual-comp ... but, he has bad shot metrics so ya. I love the MLHS podcast, I find it entertaining listening to A.P and him debate all the time.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Ilya doesn't want to be here, will leave this offseason, and was not good last year. He is very valuable to us right now because he has a great skillset for the price. Pretty hard to imagine improving his position with that little cash.

If another team wants him for some reason and would give up someone with finishing ability, its a no-brainer. Not sure why a team would want him unless they are looking to extend him

 

[Folignos Helmet]

No way the leafs do it mid year but I think the performance with Mitch out of the lineup this year will heavily support moving him in the off-season for a top 6 wing and top 4 d and or cap space to trickle through the roster more.

1.) connors NMC starts this summer. He will have full control. If he ever wants to come here. It would be marner plus. (Marner. Sandin knies 1) probably.

just had to throw my pipe dream out there but….. beyond that.

IF they decided to trade Mitch for a top 6 w top 4 d combo.

1.) Philly for Provo and konecny?
2.) m tkachuk and Anderson?

who else would fit?

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

They likely won't hold onto the wild card spot as Dallas plays more games but how about:

Ritchie
Mikheyev
Mrazek
Amirov
1st

Hertl @ 50%
Reimer @ 50%

-Would leave us $3M under the cap to make other additions as well. Amirov and a 1st is steep but for the cap space and retention I think it's worth it.
