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

[123offtheglass]

Scott Mayfield is what they need & could really use but probably can't have, even with the emergence of Dobson.

Can’t even imagine what a mcjesus-papi line would look like
Too fast, 34 stick handling and the shot, mcjesus is everything fast

not holding my breath but man…

so we’re looking at mayfield or mason? According to this forum?
Doesn’t sound like we’re in on chychrun who is my fav and unless flames sink hard tanev ain’t going anywhere

On one of the broadcasts they said 1 team has met Arizonas ask, with two former 1st rounders and an additional 1st round pick. Who has 2 recent 1st's that are good, still have their own 1st, and is in a good playoff race?

Kravstov, Laf and a 1st?
Chychrun and Fox would be one hell of a top pair.

I know it would be more of an off-season move but I really hope the Leafs are in on Andrei Kuzmenko of the KHL. This looks to be a lot more of a Panarin type signing than some of the other KHL signings the Leafs have made.

Kuzmenko's numbers blow Mikheyev, Barabanov and Semynov's numbers out of the water.

Millstein client who the Leafs have a very good relationship with.

The only discouraging thing about his numbers is that Gusev is putting up similar numbers next to him.

Ilya Usov would be an excellent FA signing if you could convince him to play in the AHL for a year.

Sandin, Amirov, 2023 1st for Chychrun?!

They could probably have him but it would cost names that Leafs fans won’t like.


Side note, if the leafs can get Chiarot for Dermott and a 2nd, I think they have to do that.

How does a 4/5 on a last place team rate this ridiculous return when he won't help because he has no idea how to handle the puck?

You need to draft him.

It would more likely be Chytil, not Lafreniere or Kakko. Not unless they are getting Hayton in the deal too.

The Rangers do desperately need defense and they have the cap space, so it does make a lot of sense for them.

If the Rangers do acquire Chychrun, Chychrun, Fox and Trouba is a real nice 1-3 on the backend.

I hope Lafreniere finds his game.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

one guy I'd like to see us target as depth option is Carson Soucy.
- Big
- Physical
- can play both sides
- penalty killer
- good defensive analytics
- and has term

I'm just not sure if Seattle would have much interest in moving him ATM

For me chychrun look closer of a keith yandle than a complete dman. Thats not what leafs need to get the next step, they need a guy who can play physical, pretty solid defensive side and can play all kind of situation. Thats clearly not whats we got in chychrun right now.

Anything can help their defense right now. It is really a testament to how good Shestyerkin has been, because if Shestyerkin was even just at Campbell's level right now, they would probably be a bubble team. Their bottom pairing is probably the worst in the entire league, and while their top 4 can put up offense, it is not that good at actual defense.

They are almost dead last in the NHL. If they aren't willing to trade someone like him, they are going to be in a world of mediocrity for a long time. They should be blowing it up as much as they can.

Definitely a good target to acquire at the deadline. Seattle will definitely sell and Soucy is exactly what we need on our backend. However he’s not the top four defenceman but he would look really good on the third pair with a guy like Liljegren.

They should, Soucy is a UFA after next season and turns 29 once his next contract kicks in. He doesn't really fit Seattle's timeline.

 

[Doublerum1975]

Really would be nice to get a hard hitting defensive defender make it hard for the opposing team to play against no offence needed lol

M-NTC. Leafs are apparently one of the ten team he won’t be traded to.

Don't think Chytil would be enough with Kravstov and a late first, but that would be one heck of a deal for the Rangers. The real 'piece' needs to be better than Chytil, as Kravstov is an unknown KHLer now (not many people have gone back to the KHL because they wernt playing well, and gone on to be stars)
Kravstov is a distressed asset that has gone back to the KHL.
Chytil is a former 1st rounder, but he hasnt had a good season yet and he is about to turn 23.
Their first this year is probably around the 25th.

I think Leafs are good enough right now that we shouldn't get cute and nit pick on the exact type of player we need.

Klingberg for example, his on ice impact is Roman Josi level when he was at his best in Hitchcocks system. If he regains that form here or even 75% of that, we're saying "no thanks" and putting in Manson instead? That would be foolish and Ken Holland level crap.

Another example is Brodie. He's not a physical D man, he doesn't even excel offensively to be honest, has his moments, he's just very efficient, "lights out", and if we were to clone Brodie so that we have 2 and put him on the second pairing with Muzzin, we suddenly have a top 5 maybe even top 3 defence in the league (as in the blueline only, not team defence).


Adding Chychrun does take us to another level and that's all that matters. The focus is upgrading and getting better period. He's a really good asset who is being severely underrated here.

Leafs def have a big lack of physicality and it will be a trouble again in playoff if nothing is done.

And no chychrin i dont considerate his acquisition like an upgrade like tyson Barrie wasn't an upgrade because its not whats the team need. They will just push a guy like rielly out of whats he do the best on offensive side to give him a higher defensive role. Chychrun is not a guy you can pair with rielly and its not a guy you against top line on defensive situation. Chychrun or klindberg( its the same thing) are player who will succes in the role morgan rielly actually have and none of them is an upgrade over morgan rielly.

who chia rot he is Hamilton boy who has played his whole career in Canada.

he would refuse a trade to a top team with 3 months left? Odd….

 

[Americanadian]

You need to draft him.

I don't believe so - this will be his D+3 season.
