Ullmark next

 

[ToneDog]

What a terrible trade for us. Produces no offense. Plays 18+ minutes per night in Columbus and is less than a 0.5 ppg player.... We just traded 3 draft picks for that and one of them was a 1st?

Probably could have gotten Iafallo straight up for the 1st... Gross.

We get it, you do not like the trade but give it a chance.

 

[Jozay]

Another offensive black hole in the lineup. Brutal stuff from Dubas.

 

[LeafChief]

I don't love giving up the 1st.

With that said, Foligno is such a piece of shit and he's our piece of shit now. We're going to absolutely love him come playoff time.

 

[ToneDog]

Steep price but can't wait to see #71 in the lineup. Let's see if somebody tries to lick him or mess with Tavares.

 

[TML1967]

Not a fan.
This is the kind of trade in a few years will be seen as us making a reputation trade, going after a guy whos name is probably bigger than their impact on the game.

Well Marchand kassian and whoever else tries to be a dickhead will have to answer now
Nash is gonna play here too

 

[CatchyTune]

Hilarious to me that Columbus beat us last year, now they're selling to us.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Now do something like:

2022 1st
2021 2nd
2022 2nd *conditional on games played for Ullmark

Mikheyev/Engvall
+ Whatever double retention costs

For Hall +Ullmark

Still give up zero top prospects and have the space to do it.

 

[Jozay]

Galchenyuk staying in the top 6 lol

 

[Burnie97]

Again I don't like the 1st involved but hopefully it'll basically be a 2nd at the end of the playoffs when they win a cup.

Then everyone will forget very quickly.

I do love that they didn't have to give up any prospects.

I think we have a few joining the team next year forsure.

 

[therealkoho]

No one said anything bad about the players you mentioned. It was just suggested that those players would exactly qualify for big game hunting.

If that is big game hunting then I guess Florida was big game hunting when they traded for Montour yesterday and Montreal when they added Staal two weeks ago. Every trade for an everyday player would be considered big game hunting by your definition.

There's nothing wrong with Crouse or Lyubushkin but big game hunting, they are not.

So like semantics are really like a thing for you eh!... Lol

 

[ToneDog]

Love the player, not so much the price. Good on Dubas for recognising a team need. As a bonus hopefully ithis will end the Lou traded 2nds for 4th liners once and for all.

 

[Ryan52]

so whats the cap situation look like now? anymore room for another move?

 

[LeafChief]

Not really. You just have trouble with the English language. Many tried to respectfully point it out for you but you acted like a child (and continue to do so).

Not a big deal.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

our forwards seem overcrowded. right? we have to move someone out. esp if we're gonna keep playing thornton and simmonds.

 

[Bloomberg]

Galchenyuk - Matthews - Marner
Foligno - Tavares - Nylander
Hyman - Engvall - Mikheyev
Spezza - Kerfoot - Thorton/Simmonds

I'd still like to see an upgrade on Engvall. If we can get Laughton for a 2nd or Bennett for a 5th, I'd do it. Or maybe the Leafs are hoping Nash steps in?

 

[123offtheglass]

idk about exactly 50% but yea ain't much cap if any; but they can still make a move or another cheap waiver exempt player (1.075m + whatever cap they have leftover if any).

 

[BertCorbeau]

Bet another deal is coming IMO.

 

[OVO16]

Get Laughton too. Engvall + 2nd for Laughton

Galchenyuk - Mathews - Marner
Foligno - Tavares - Nylander
Mikheyev - Laughton - Hyman
Spezza - Nash - Simmonds

 

[LeafChief]

Bet another deal is coming IMO.

Maybe Engvall out to replenish some picks? Nash to take his spot for 1st game of playoffs?

 

[TopChedder]

Galchenyuk - Matthews - Marner
Foligno - Tavares - Nylander
Hyman - Engvall - Mikheyev
Spezza - Kerfoot - Thorton/Simmonds

I'd still like to see an upgrade on Engvall. If we can get Laughton for a 2nd or Bennett for a 5th, I'd do it. Or maybe the Leafs are hoping Nash steps in?

Nash on the 4th line will be life come playoff time. The guy was BORN to play playoff hockey.

 

[Mickey Marner]

idk about exactly 50% but yea ain't much cap if any; but they can still make a move or another cheap waiver exempt player (1.075m + whatever cap they have leftover if any).

I liked your idea earlier about Vantanen at 1.075 if he clears. That would be a shrewd move by management.

 

[BeLeafing]

With this and the Capfriendly tweet about demoting Hutch/Marincin/Barabanov being just enough to clear room for Freddy's contract, I'm skeptical there will be more moves coming (unless we subtract say, Kerfoot). We haven't had anything to suggest Freddy is planning to stay on LTIR up to the playoffs yet.

 

[LeafParade]

Is there still 1.375 M in cap room?
There must be another deal in the works.

So if Anderson goes to LTIR... ~ 6.3 M?

Edit: Hall(50%)+Ulmark(50%)=6.3 M I am keeping the dream alive.

 

[123offtheglass]

I liked your idea earlier about Vantanen at 1.075 if he clears. That would be a shrewd move by management.

Thanks, he'd be a great pickup for a mid-late round pick; not a defensive/physical guy but definitely a really good puck moving defenseman that can play the Leafs system. If guys go down he's got a ton of experience playing top 4 minutes and can even push/challenge Dermott for a spot on the 3rd pair (or in the case they dress 7d). He's a righty but plays both sides; doesn't have a muffin shot on the PP.
