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

[hamzarocks]

Knies + Carlo for 4th + Powers + needs to be the move if we move him.

Carels - Danford
Power - Raddysh

In 3 years time

 

[rumman]

We getting some speed. We need some speed.

speed, size, and snarl. We need a couple of those type of players.

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

I feel Carlos worth is about a 2 and a 3 . This would obviously be much better . Don’t think it lives in reality though

If it's Carlo for Mrtka someone needs to Chayka to start the CAR!!! There was a report somewhere that the Carlo trade was holding up any movement on Knies. Mrtka and Knies to San Jose for 2OV, 9OV. Bystedt? Is that enough?

 

[Rare Jewel]

What actual FAs do yall think we targetting

Its slim pickings out here. Probably mostly bottom 6 options now.

Two bottom 6 guys I like are Joseph and Bluger

As for the bigger guys, meh... maybe Arvidsson or Bjorkstrand

edit; Haula as well.

 

[rumman]

Give me Malott - Sissons - Greer

On the 4th line. You get super physical, forechecking 4th line, and very reliable defensively and on PK

Also Greer had 17 goals last year. Thats more than Sameskovic

sign me up.

I wonder if Miroshnichenko becomes available in Washington and what they'd be looking for in return. Interesting profile and stuck behind a logjam of RS wingers in WSH.

 

[rumman]

Sounds like no deal or urgency in trading Rielly or Knies. It was all smoke and mirrors.

Hopefully just posturing by Chaka, especially regarding Mo.

 

[rumman]

If Rielly plays on the second pairing and is used between 18-20 minutes do we think we get better performance out of him?

No, but like a nuclear rod the less exposure the better.

Not a bad target. Id probably do a 3rd or 4th to take a shot.

 

[rumman]

If Chayka didn't tip his hand to the Insiders, he definitely won't do so to the fans/media lol

cold be speaking to his fellow GM's trying to entice them to act?

 

[Gabriel426]

Where are the MM, Robbie, Carlo and Reilly trades?

 

[Americanadian]

Not a bad target. Id probably do a 3rd or 4th to take a shot.

It would take more than that. Probably a 2nd. Maybe 60OA.

 

[rumman]

Knies for Werenski?

wws.

Id do it. Go all in these next 2 years.

Would he waive to come here? Is there any possibility he's consider resigning here? I'd say sadly the answer is no to both questions.

 

[SprDaVE]

Where are the MM, Robbie, Carlo and Reilly trades?

I think the Carlo trade happens in the next 24 hours.

I could see Robertson and MM punted over the next week, but I see a world where MM stays.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

It would take more than that. Probably a 2nd. Maybe 60OA.

In your opinion is he worth the gamble at a 2nd round pick price ?

 

[BallardEra]

Not a bad target. Id probably do a 3rd or 4th to take a shot.

Caps would never trade him for that.

 

[rumman]

I agree. Either Reid or Carels plus a top 6 center (around 20 years old) plus McKenna would be great foundation for this core and the next. You only get so many times everything aligns. 1st round picks for the next 2 years wouldn’t matter as much. You could draft this year and next and not come away with those 3 prime pieces as you can right now.

This kind of move helps now, helps in the future imo.

 

[Americanadian]

In your opinion is he worth the gamble at a 2nd round pick price ?

Yes - 60OA should be used for these types of gambles.

 

[WTFMAN99]

I think the Chayka comments about Rielly for example are a smoke screen, I don't take them at face value.

In terms of if it actually happens? No, I don't want to see Morgan Rielly back.

 

[rumman]

I love Chayka and his posturing its refreshing

The possibility of all these moves is exciting, as a fan who wouldn't be happy the GM's being aggressive in trying to fix the team.

 

[Doug Gilmour]

Kyper had this at the deadline:



Please give that to me today.

Then give me Knies for Helenius and 4th overall tomorrow.

Treliving is still in charge of the Leafs?!?

 

[rumman]

Glad Reilly is staying. New coach etc. Fresh start.

This will age like spoiled milk once we're watching Mo's defensive blunders game in, game out imo.

 

[BlueForever75]

Nobody had deals made with Philly and TB until they actually happened. I like how Chayka is going about his business. No one needs to know anything; just let him work.

I personally do not want to get rid of Reilly. I think Berube stunted his abilities no differently than the rest of our offensive players. A team should never trade an asset when its value is at an all-time low. If the Leafs can trade Reilly or Carlo by all means do it. As long as it upgrades the team. But I am down for a defence built as such:

OEL-Raddysh
McCabe-Tanev
Reilly-Carlo

It is better instantly if Tanev can stay healthy, add Raddysh in Benoit's place and you have improved your D from last season. Add in the new kid as depth the Leafs have done good.

Remember Matthews and Nylander wanted better puck movers on their D. Adding Raddysh and kid did that. Removing Reilly you best puck mover from the backend contradicts the ask and want. Especially when its for pennies on the dollar.

 

[wingman75]

I think the Chayka comments about Rielly for example are a smoke screen, I don't take them at face value.

In terms of if it actually happens? No, I don't want to see Morgan Rielly back.

Ah, pulling his best Jesse Marsch impression?

I too do not want to see Rielly back. Problem is, everyone else has seen him play, everyone else has access to his underlying numbers. We might have to hope for a resurgence under a new coach and playing style... do not hold your breath.

I have so much FOMO its not even funny
