Trade and Free Agency Thread - 2022 - Off-season

[Lightsol]

Why do I have a gut feeling that Cooley probably stays in college until he can hit UFA using the college loophole rather than go to the dumpster fire that is the Arizona Coyotes?

Of course, I can also see Gary Bettman personally flying into Minnesota to demand he sign with the Coyotes...

Feeding Matthews will probably be a pretty good selling point.

What are they going to pay him with, peanuts?

 

[Menzinger]

Honestly, don’t even know why the Wild are even trying for the next couple of years. That Suter Parise jail stops them doing anything seriously. May as well take a knee and stock up on futures.

Their kwnership doesn't have interest in rebuilding + Kaprizov playing as well as he is.

They're definitely in a bind due to those buyouts though.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Poor Jones… gets dealt to Chicago and signs long term only for them to blow it up and watch Kane and Toews retire

 

[Nineteen67]

Except for your analysis being wrong

Sure, thats always a possibilty

Habs got the 13OA for Romanov. I would be happy to get the 13OA for Sandin

I'm very surprised they got that much for him. Wow.

 

[Gabriel426]

Me too. What is Lou doing? Pretty sure if he called Dubas about Sandin, it will be Sandin plus 3rd rounder for 13OA

This is quite a confusing draft day. Wright dropping to 4th, the two Hawks trade were either great or underwhelming, Romanov for 13OA. Can’t wait to see the next trade.

We're going hard after Kuemper imo

 

[TheFloater]

Kind of odd, imo, that we move Mrazek without knowing what goalie we can get on the free agency market. Unless they have something lined up to re-sign Campbell, or another trade for a goalie?

Yup.

Probably Husso or Kuemper, with Fleury as backup.

 

[Cor]

With how things go this part of the draft, the Leafs could get one of their top names for 25 at 38 still lol

this is unreal. Gave up priority in a wash part of the draft. Who cares.

LOL at the neutrals who kept saying it would cost us significant assets

 

[stickty111]

Fleury resigned

 

[Jozay]

Spending big on Keumper would not be ideal.

 

[Rielly4]

Probably Husso or Kuemper, with Fleury as backup.

Fleury re-signed in minny.

Im not very interested in Kuemper at 6 mil. I liked him when he had a value contract but honestly if we want a guy at 6 mil Id rather Varlmaov or even Gibson.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I’m guessing Kuemper or Husso are Leafs by the end of next week

 

[Avilaj07]

The fact Kevin Weekes keeps mentioning Gibson and Toronto makes me believe that there might be some fire there. Question is, what would that trade look like

 

[Warden of the North]

Lou got robbed by Montreal in that Romanov deal. Yikes

 

[Smif]

I’m guessing Kuemper or Husso are Leafs by the end of next week

Is that supposed to be an upgrade and we still need another goalie for a backup...

 

[Cor]

I’m guessing Kuemper or Husso are Leafs by the end of next week

I don’t see the Leafs paying Husso and not Campbell. Might as well keep the one you know.

Leafs are aiming for someone established.

Im pretty confident Kuemper will be a Leaf on Wednesday.

Sandin almost certainly will be included imo

What was his playoff injury?
