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

[Phion Keneuf]

Kyper says the leafs will have to retain $1-1.5M on Rielly and get a 5th or 6th back.

Id be shocked if we would have to take such a bad deal.

I’d just keep Rielly at that point.

FWIW Pierre McGuire said he thinks we’ll get a B+ prospect or a 2nd/3rd no retention

 

[Morgs]

If this is true, Dubas being so pissed at Davidson all those years ago makes so much sense with how he leaks shit.

Also, I'm glad to hear Chayka's not willing to budge on this type of cost. Makes me feel like if we do trade Knies, it would actually be for that "holy shit, I understand why" type deal.

Kyper's the worst sometimes when he exaggerates the Leafs position of weakness. If we were trying to acquire Morgan Rielly under the same circumstances he would say Morgan Rielly is a former 70 point scoring defenseman and would cost us Ben Danford.

In Sabres terms its: 4th + Power? Doubt the Sabres move Power after moving Byram.
In Sharks terms: 9th overall + Misa?

In a world where Byram is about to get 10 or 12 million and the Hawks gave up the 4th pick for that privledge Morgan Rielly at 7.5 is not a cap dump. Guess he'll hang out on our 2nd or 3rd pair with less responsibility more talent around him, and not shit coach and see how it goes.

He LOVES riling up the fanbase.

Im expecting:

Rielly

For

2nd + Ostapchuk

 

[cyris]

You think he should start 1st line duties right away? hmmm

Yes those are the only 2 options……

 

[Vince Young]

Well, I guess we'd be somewhat happy if Knies does move if that's the ask at least!

 

[The Masters]

 

[Burnie97]

Hate Chayka or not... I think there is some big trades coming that could possibly be team altering.

At least he is swinging for the fences for now. There's a real possibility leafs are a playoff team next year and go on a run.

The way this off season has been.

Any Knies ask has to be for a stupid return and I love the rumours I'm hearing that it is that.

Just praying it won't be underwhelming if it happens.

So far it seems he's willing to make some moves and be proactive. He's done more than treliving did in a couple years basically in a month.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Good. That's where we should be aiming.

I feel vindicated, I kept saying 4th and Frondell or no deal.

UFA targets
Mason Marchment
Ryan Shea
Michael Bunting
Freddy Andersen

Keep Rielly and move someone else instead. I'd rather not retain at all, and certainly not for such a paltry return.

Maybe Kasperi Kapanen too.

 

[TMLAM34]

I do like the idea of him playing with Matthews yes but I’d be more than okay seeing him on a line with JT as well.

 

[Buds17]

Third line? Needs linemates of a certain quality.

 

[The Iceman]

4th overall + Jack Quinn + Radim Mrtka enough to trade Knies to the Sabres?

Good grouping but we would need to add Carlo+

 

[dubplatepressure]

I think 4OA + Mrtka + Helenius is a good package from Buffalo.

Agreed. We’re not a cap strapped team, no need to retain and/or attach assets to trade Rielly. I’d rather see if he can bounce back with less responsibility on the ice and a new coach/system. I don’t think it’s a coincidence his two worst seasons were under Berube.

[NostraDanny]

Well imo I watched the hound line work their way up in placements ( yes that was ages ago) but still, even just easing him in and then trying him out on the top two lines learning how to adjust to bigger stronger players from the get go would be great if he could. Guess I got a lil more patience.

On a human level he may be too far gone to bounce back in this market, but from a pure asset management POV there's no reason to take an L just for the sake of change.

we need a much higher quality 4th line.
