Trade and Free Agency Thread - 2021/22 Part XII - C'mon Trades!

[All Mod Cons]

I thought Mrazek was much sought after and easily traded. Why can't we trade him?

Do it Buffalo

What to expect from every NHL team at the 2022 trade deadline - Sportsnet.ca

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Status: Buyer

Deadline Cap Space: $3,719,166

2022 Draft Picks: TOR 1, TOR 2, TOR 7

Team needs: Fourth line forward, top-four defenceman, goalie

Potentially available: Travis Dermott, Nick Robertson, Justin Holl, Timothy Liljegren, Petr Mrazek

From 32 Thoughts, The Podcast: "I think (Dubas) goes for a D. I'm not convinced he's going for a goalie. I don't think he wants to trade his first-rounder."

Outlook: GM Kyle Dubas has stated his focus is to add to the blue line and it's clear they need more experienced defenders back there. But there's also a need for a faster fourth line forward or two and, though Erik Kallgren calmed the goalie waters for a few days, a 6-3 loss to Nashville on 34 shots against Saturday may stir that debate up again. The Leafs also, reportedly, aren't crazy about moving their first, or top prospects Matthew Knies or Topi Niemela. At least for a rental. It seems Toronto has a lot of needs and the buyers around them have increased the urgency to do something.

Bet it’s John gibson

I have a feeling we will make a significant trade. I don't mean Gio but something more impactful. We'll see I guess

Do it Buffalo

A model franchise

Imagine

Kind of why I figured a Mrazek+Dermott for Pysyk deal would work. They need some kind of goalie for next year, have a lot of cap space, and Dermott would be a younger upgrade.

Mrazek passing through waivers would make him more valuable to them this year too.

 

[Leafed]

I truly believe Dubas is gonna stick to Jack Cambell and Kalgren. And this new guy Sateri i guess. I dont see us trading for a goalie. Could be wrong

Waiving him today means he'll know if he'll have to make a trade by 12 PM tmrw. Other contenders are less likely to take a punt on him so close to the roster freeze. Rebuilding teams curious about him might

 

[Duffman955]

Here we go

 

[stickty111]

We will be very active today/tomorrow. Just need to see if we make small tweaks or big moves. I'll say it again but Dubas has the pieces to do something significant if he wants

 

[Cor]

I have to imagine the Leafs may think/know someone will grab Mrazek,

Easy to just grab the cap space this year and next if he's claimed.

 

[nuck]

Sounds like it is tough for some of these guys to even return a 2nd.

TBH, not sure many are even worth a 2nd. Maybe Gio, but not the others.

I think McBain gets a 3rd wherever he goes.

I thought Mrazek was much sought after and easily traded. Why can't we trade him?

Our poor coaching staff sort of killed his value.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Something big...

 

[OVO16]

Clifford too

I deadass think Clifford played these last few games as a showcase type of thing. To see if he can garner enough value to be included in deals or get a pick back for. Idk.

I was surprised when Clifford played for Simmonds. I think Wayne Simmonds will go back to being the primary 4th line tough guy for us moving forward

Okay guys start watching now. Now Mirtle is saying Leafs are up to something big.

 

[Deebo]

I'm scared.

I have a feeling your feeling is wrong. So now we are back where we started.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Lol never mind.

 

[stickty111]

This can't be Giordano otherwise why mention something that is already out there.

 

[OVO16]

I hope Kerfoot is invovled in any big deal. Just don't make any sense having him play in the 4th line. He's too soft and small to be a 4th line player on a playoff team. And he's also too good to be in the 4th line.

Either he's in the top 9 or he isn't. If Engvall and Mikheyev are off the table...than Kerfoot needs to be gone

 

[stickty111]

I'm scared.

I'm more excited but trying to keep it to reality lol

Dubas throwing flotsam and jetsam out to distract...genius.
