GDT: Trade and Free Agency Thread - The Madness Continues

[SeaOfBlue]

I won't be surprised if Gally still gets a 1 year 1 mil deal from the Leafs

I think it won't even be that much. Galchenyuk knows the Leafs' crunch and knows that the lower his hit, the better his chances are.

 

[TheDoldrums]

I find this perplexing. Because the Avs paid so much. And I assume the Oilers would be swapping Koskinen (matches Kuemper's salary) since they have no cap space at the moment. I'm struggling to imagine what they could be offering that could've got them close.

 

[Guy Boucher]

I thought Mrazek was a bit high (had him pegged more as 3-3.5), but compared to Andersen, Ullmark, Bernier and the acquisition cost of Kuemper, I think the Leafs did really well with Mrazek.

 

[CatchyTune]

I dont want Galchenyuk back at this point. We need a legit top 6 winger. Already signed a bunch of bottom 6 guys and Robertson is coming up. I dont see a spot for Galchenyuk.

Nick Ritchie is someone who has intrigued me ever since his buyout was announced. I would absolutely take him on a cheap deal. Other than that find a legit top 6 guy like Saad.

Edit: Not buyout, non-tendered

 

[Gallagbi]

Wow the Avs paid through the nose there. Coyotes are just something else.

Felt like they lost musical chairs and were at the Yotes mercy

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Arizona has been the definition of scorched earth.

Very nice return for Kuemper, who could end up being just a 1 year rental

 

[TMLeafer]

I would have shipped out Campbell if that's the going rate in trade

 

[A1LeafNation]

Comparing the Marner deal to aggregate Point deals makes my blood boil! Marner gets to go back for more too..fk off​

There is no risk with bringing Galchenyuk back for cheap. Give him a shot with the many others we have.

We gave his spot to Bunting. We don't need more than one gamble in the top 6.

I think his roll has been filled by Bunting/Robertson. I just dont see a roster spot for him. Along with Kerfoot/Mik/Engvall/Kampf/Spezza/Simmonds how many bottom 6 forwards can we have on the roster?

 

[SprDaVE]

Was just about to post this. Sounds like there's smoke happening. "Stay tuned" has been glued to the F5 button.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

let's hope it's a good one. Depending on who it is, the mystery forward and Bunting might even be an upgrade on our top 6 LWers from last year

 

[CatchyTune]

woohoo!

 

[stickty111]

People were complaining for no reason. We were going to add a top 6 forward. Lets see who it is and how good it is.

We've all been here long enough that people will complain regardless of anything that happens moving forward.

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Saad and Tatar are the only two FAs left who I would count as meaningful top 6 players, and Saad is almost certainly not going to sign for ~3.5 million. So it will probably either be Tatar or a trade

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Good thing Dubas moved on to Mrazek.

Wow imagine giving up Liljegren and a 1st for one year of an injury prone goalie.

 

[TheDoldrums]

The dream would be convincing Saad to come here for a year to play with Matthews/Marner and pump his stats, sort of like the Barrie deal last year with Edmonton. We'd probably have to clear a bit more space tho

 

[4thline]

22 man roster with our most expensive spares leaves 2.1m for a top 9 LW.

Ritchie/Donato/Heinen the best youngish upside guys in that range

Gally to continue the reclamation project.

Going no spare up front and trading Soup for a 1m replacement puts us up around/above 3.5m

Not done yet.

 

[stickty111]

I try to avoid threads where there is mainly complaining.
Back to topic, Tarar and Saad are the best ones left. Prefer Saad though.
Not sure about trades.

 

[showtime8]

Scrolling through Cap Friendly to find >3.5 top 6 wingers that fit the description.

Radek Faksa, Oskar Sundqvist, Rikard Rakell (bit above 3.5)?

 

[Subway Schenn]

So what's the going rate on Saad, 6M? Would love him as a Leaf but would need to move out some bodies. Is 4 years x 5.5M outrageous?
