Trade and Free Agency Thread - 2022 - Off-season

[ULF_55]

Okay, so who is willing to trade a pick to deal for a UFA goaltender?

And do you accept that means the Leafs won't get to make that pick?

Do you want cake or do you want to eat cake?

Looking on the outside, the Leafs look like they’re getting caught with their pants down in terms of being able to budget for a goalie and being able to target a workable solution; having to create cap space and then getting out maneuvered on Georgiev, Fleury and Husso in a 24 hour window.

I get the sense people aren’t high on a Campbell return but at this rate, do you just double down on status quo or go Christmas shopping last minute at the gas station and potentially have another massive downgrade in net? The mismanagement of this situation doesn’t look good.

We’ll see how it plays out but wasn’t this what happened last year and then we got stuck with Mrazek?

 

[Kurtz]

They want to. Talbot seems displeased though

Wild that Guerin didn't have this convo with Talbot prior to signing maf.

No last year they had Campbell.

This year is more exciting.

The mystery box might be Campbell.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Lots of goalie movement.. wonder when the Leafs will step up

 

[andora]

This is getting sad.. jesus walk into the room like you own it or you will be last in and dance with the fugly

Not a nice way of saying it but DEPENDING on how this plays oit we will see how truly planned for this he was

Exactly.

Seems like they’re still trying to play Moneyball with this position and that’s not the market at all.

hope the leafs land a stud. tired of 1b’s that are spent by the time playoffs come.

They signed him on the first day of free agency, no?

 

[aingefan]

I think the Wild's GM said they are planning on running a MAF/Talbot tandem so im not sure if he is available

Interestingly there was a tweet yesterday saying that the wild we’re gonna check *today* to see how Talbot felt about a 1a/1b split with MAF.
A lil bit backwards.

True enough, I thought they said they had already make contact with him yesterday

 

[Antropovsky]

Its funny game 7 goal created all about marner pass between 2 tampa defender whobwas creating confusion in tampa d and force both of 2 tampa dmen goes on matthews and created a line pass for rielly.

Game 5, team work of 4 player defensivly to force mcdonaugh to miss his play and created a 2on1

Game one 5v3, marner to tavares to marner and marner watching mikheyev all time long in the slot to force tampa d to block that passing lane and creating an other passing lane for matthews

He accept to take a huge hit around the board to clear the puck out of the zone and created a breakaway

And he scored on breakaway

Game 2 bunting who, marner using his skate to deflect the puck behind the net and keep play alive unstead a icing or offside. Matthews goes on mcdonaugh and marner on paul. Both of matthews and marner did a great play, if marner didnt be agressive with matthews on paul cover, probably nothing would be happening...

Game #3 he found a loose puck and shoot, rielly get rebound

Marner deserved every points he scored by making great play on each of them. Both of marner and matthews was great and making each other looking better.

All about the Marner pass? Yet the color guy and ex NHL player Keith Jones in the replay literally says "this is play is all Austin Matthews"? The Marner pass is a routine pass over the blueline.

I'm starting to get legitimately worried about our goaltending situation.

I'm starting to get legitimately worried about our goaltending situation.

I'm excited personally. I have plenty of faith Dubas will find a guy who can carry the load. I think we're gonna end up with h a legit starter. Just not sure who or where from yet

 

[leafan11]

Dubas needs a BDE move. Kerfoot, Robertson, Sandin, and a first round pick for Kane at half off. Go big or go home.

Adds to surplus and ignores critical weakness. Love it.

The leafs critical weakness is they can’t score in Elimination games.

 

[BayStBullies]

Leafs trade? More picks?

Update:

 

[dubplatepressure]

The leafs critical weakness is they can’t score in Elimination games.

You go with that then - I'll go with goaltending.

talbot might be unhappy but i think its kind like his role to gain again and be under the tutelage of a HOFer thats how I'd sell it if Im guerin.

Seems like their may have been a bit of wishful thinking on the part of the GM
