[LeafChief]

Looks like the Leafs will be wearing a black jersey next week?

Looks like the Leafs will be wearing a black jersey next week?

Taking a page out of football/soccer schemes out of Europe. They come out with 10 different kits for 10 different games per year. One for regular, one for practice, one for el classico, one for championship series

I wouldn't mind seeing some black jersies. I think they'll be cool

 

[Ashdown2]

Yeah no chance I'm moving anybody from the 3rd line

More detail.
Here is what will likely happen. Leafs will try for Lindholm but move on if price doesn't drop. Gio will be their guy and a depth forward. Dermott will be traded in some deal.

agreed let all the other teams blow their load days before and the leafs can swoop in and get some guys on a discount. can we get a "hall for a second" type of deal ... maybe rackell for super cheap because hes on currently injured but not on IR. ??

with a move like that they can move out kerfoot and bring in 2 or 3 bottom 6 guys with energy to replace simmonds and spezza.

 

[Magic Man]

Honestly, the goalies have been blowing games for over 3 months in a row. It is a big year for the team. Why would you not get a goalie of some kind? Where is the logic in it? Kallgren has masked issues the past couple games, but he will not be there when the team plays in round #1. That would be a very bizarre move to stand pat there. Even if prices are high on Varlamov and Fleury or they can't fit them in with Mrazek and other things they want to accomplish. There is Forsberg, Holtby and Stolarz. Don't be lazy, grab one, common sense.

Especially when next year goaltending is up in the air

 

[X66]

“Overpaid” by Tampa sure BUT…their firsts will likely be 2nd rounders in value and they get a cost affordable player for multiple seasons.

We we’re in that position last year but blew the load on Foligno lol

 

[4thline]

Could see Dermott straight up for Larsson on Arizona. We want to upgrade the 4thline, have no picks. They have more picks than they can develop easily, but after Chychrun moves have need NHL defense. Give him a shot to play everyday top 4 and see what you have.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Tampa got FLEECED. Good business by Chicago. A good scouting group can have them rollin’ along pretty nice with that capital in a few years

 

[Griffin76]

Dermott out. I don't like it but it's probably best for him. 4th liner in. And probably a D.

Dermott + 2nd + b level prospect

Giordano + Appleton

Would that work?

It would be nice if the forward wasn't a softie.

As someone who watches European soccer religiously, that's not true at all. They have 3kits and they design new ones every year. I wouldn't mind seeing a black jersey either.

 

[Fogelhund]

Given recent trades, Dermott should return an unprotected lottery pick, and top prospect.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Insane price for Hagel. Don't mind sitting this deadline out and making material changes in the off-season.

 

[The Podium]

Given recent trades, Dermott should return an unprotected lottery pick, and top prospect.

Imagine the Leafs come out of the trade deadline with a 1st + for Dermott and a couple depth pieces for late picks and nothing prospects

 

[Zybalto]

Katchouk and raddysh are like 24yrs old and have never established themselves as NHLers. They are not comparable to 20yr old top prospects.

They're not even Dermott-level value.

They are youngish top forward prospects (one 23 and one just turned 24) who were both 2nd rounders buried behind Tampa's depth and just getting a chance (both PPG players in the AHL last season for 22 year old season). Just trying to gauge value here.

Who would you compare them to on the Leafs?

 

[Ziggdiezan]

What are the conditions on the picks? Seems like a horrible trade for a guy shooting 22%

Top 10 protected

Still crazy though

 

[Maplebeasts]

I don't disagree in theory, but giving them that experience will come with costly errors, and I don't think we can afford that in the first round this season.

All players make costly errors. You have to give them a chance if they've earned it at some point.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Insane in the membrane...

 

[BertCorbeau]

Dubas is rightfully shopping Dermott given the market.. would be pretty shrewd to get a nice asset for him to help recoup whatever they spend elsewhere

The difference is where tampa good prospect are? Their best prospect is probably worst than leafs 6-7-8 th... not sure who is their best prospect ...

They tri to replicates coleman/ goodrow trade... will not be surprise to see 2022 1st pick traded soon ..

I wonder if we should chase a top 9 forward with some time left on his contract with the Dermott return

Gives us depth this year and helps when we lose Mikheyev and Kase (maybe) next season

Not too many guys like that except for Comtois.

The others who have some control are pending RFA's, and that could be expensive for us even if we still control them after this year.

Joey Anderson?
