GDT: Trade and Free agent Rumours thread | Chayka off-season edition

[Warrior16]

Harley + Bourque

Or

Mateychuk + Voronkov/Sillinger+ 14th


Would do one of those packages for Knies +.

 

[MarMarSab3]

FWIW bald gentlemen are often the most informed. Just saying

Couldn't agree more

 

[CtrlAltDel]

I don’t even fully trust Chris Johnston, Dreger, Seravalli, or LeBrun to know what’s really going on with the Leafs. I sure as hell don’t trust Marco Boy to know anything.

 

[TMLegend]

Oof

 

[Buckley]

east is too much of an arms race atm, montreal still gonna do stuff, probably TB. we need to sell high on our guys and rebuild imo. this team needs so much to actually be a contender.

I think Tampa's best case is Larkin.

Harley + Bourque

Mateychuk + Voronkov/Sillinger+ 14th

I wanted to do the 2nd one previously but now that Tuch is gone, I would do #1

 

[Buckley]

Ok so the team as of now is

McKenna. Matthews. Nylander
Macelli. Tavares Knies
Robertson. Demi. Cowan
Joshua. Quillan. Lorentz

McCabe. Tanev
Oel. Raddysh
Rielly. Carlo
Andre

Stolarz
Beast.

Ummmm do we suck?

Relax. There will be a lot of changes coming, including Bob in net.

 

[Clark4Ever]

I'd be ok with that.

 

[Menzinger]

They're 100% getting a starter this offseason. And I'm fine if it's Bob contract depending

 

[Budz]

this team is getting blown up in 48 hrs

Knies is a good as gone.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Yes please

We all saw first hand what Bob can do in the playoffs. He’s old yes, but he’s in better shape than most goalies. Dude is a freak of nature and hopefully it rubs off on our young goalies

 

[BertCorbeau]

Gross .. no thanks

Mind you pairing him with one of our two young guys who are on cheap deals is helpful

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

First we need the money, then we get the power, then we get the women

 

[CtrlAltDel]

It would be hilarious if Knies is being so heavily focused on because he’s supposedly the one getting traded, only for Chayka to come out of absolutely nowhere with a move nobody expected.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

No Idea why they would. This is apparently a deal on the table and if it truly is on the table the Leafs need to seriously consider it. Will Smith is a #1 center in the making not Matthews tier but definately in the Suzuki tier.

Again Will Smith is not a centre . Get his name out yo mouth

 

[ashs]

Would you do 10 x 8?

For 60 pts 30 goals. Nope.

 

[djdev]

I think Tampa's best case is Larkin.

in reality even with more changes i dont forsee this team being as good as many in the east, i dont see the point of just trying to make the playoffs if we dont have a legit shot at wiinning. just me though. ive seen this group for 10 years..and now the east is deeper and better than before.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Ya, I highly doubt Matthews would be traded, but #2, #9 and Misa is something I'd do for sure.

Same . Misa plus high picks are the ideal return ; if you have to do it

 

[Antropovsky]

Well how about Colorado again this year? Everyone was ready to hand them the cup before the playoffs. They got swept

Yes because they are a well built team without an advantage....mackinnon outright said he was taking less money to be successful and signed a 12.6 mill x 8 year deal. They got rid of Rantanen because he wanted too much money. Rantanen signed in low tax state... Dallas. Mcdavid took less too, in order to be successful in a high tax province.

Its not fair to players or the fans that this advantage exists. Owners either but the game growing in america helps increaee their value.

If you were McDavid would you be happy taking 5 million less per year in order to try and compete with low tax states...because your desperate to win championships? And your legacy will be affected by it?

Who wouldnt want to play in Fla or Vegas? Maximize pay, dont need to deal with medias constant negative questions about winning, play on stacked teams that will boost your career offensive numbers and mody importantly challenge for a few cups! And live in better climates and cities!

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

To Toronto-
Niskinin

To Carolina-
Carlo
Colorado 2027 1st Round Pick

Not remotely close

 

[Nineteen67]

Tuch's contract is pretty much the going rate for a 30-35 goal scoring top 6 forward moving forward.

The leafs signed Nylander at the perfect time, he'd be getting 12.5-13.5 in this new higher cap era.

Nylander should be moved ASAP before his contract becomes unmovable.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Knies is a good as gone.

If he is, it better be for a franchise altering return based on everything we've seen in the last 24 hours.

I'm not convinced Knies is definitely being traded because Chayka's asking price has to be ludicrous at this point.

 

[mydnyte]

It would be hilarious if Knies is being so heavily focused on because he’s supposedly the one getting traded, only for Chayka to come out of absolutely nowhere with a move nobody expected.

sure,
Matthews to Dallas for Wyatt Johnston and Heiskanen

[WTFMAN99]

They're 100% getting a starter this offseason. And I'm fine if it's Bob contract depending

His stats and age don't merit more than a 1-2 year contract at like 5M

Anything beyond that and you question Chayka.
