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

[TMLeafer]

What a terrible group of UFA forwards.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

You ask Nylander to waive first, before you offer all that.

Oh that was just an asset list not what I would offer. Knies, Danford, beast and a 1st is what Id offer for werenski and try and sneak in Olivier as well.

Happy Canada Day from Playa del Carmen.

Should be a fun day for Free agency and perhaps trades?

Love it out there, enjoy your vacay

[Commander Clueless]

Believe it or not Harley seems very unpopular among Dallas fans (overpaid, underperforming, vanilla...)
His name is out there, so he might as well ask to be moved. Nill might have enough with players with NMCs, so he is quite desperate...

Interesting

Just feels like it warps their roster unless they have a Robertson trade lined up for more defense.

Look at this guy, going to Mexico to beat the heat in Ontario lmao

Does CBJ accept that? Has Werenski demanded a trade?

There’s some quality available: Bob, Riley Smith, Kappy, Mantha, Malott, Kunin, Kane 1, Kane 2, Stanley. None ore star players, but the Leafs need depth not more star players.

H3 hasn't demanded a trade but has insinuated hes not resigning so the jackets are getting out in front of it. Its been leaked that Tampa and Toronto are the front runners as they are two places hed be happy to be moved to after declining g Dallas.

 

[SprDaVE]

Friedman predicts Bob to Toronto but the Oilers (!!!) are in the mix. 3 years 21M (3x7M) is the prediction. Also has Marchment as a possible destination for the Leafs.

Also varied interest in these guys apparently.

The centres: Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Toronto, Utah, Vancouver. These teams were all around Noel Acciari, Erik Haula, Boone Jenner, Scott Laughton, Colton Sissons (Nashville reunion?), Kevin Stenlund.

If 38 year old Ovi scored 15 goals last season and wanted term to come, you would say no he is cooked. Bob at 38 on a contender put up .888 and wants term, is viable?

How?

I know, but CBJ is not obligated to move him.
When I read he turned down Dallas that kind of threw up a red flag in my mind. Why would he do that?
Will CBJ accept what the Leafs and Tampa have to offer or will they wait? This might be the best they get and take what they can now.

What a terrible group of UFA forwards.

Avoid the big swings (eg Jenner), and hopefully we can find some undervalued players with upside if put into a different system, different linemates, and/or more opportunity (eg R. Suzuki).

 

[Cynical]

This team played toughest against Florida a couple of seasons ago with

Matthews
Marner
Nylander
Tavares
Knies

Matthews
Nylander
McKenna
Tavares
Raddysh
Werenski
Support pieces rough around the edges

This is a much more balanced team

Also we have lost all our series because of special teams. Our special teams would be elite with this core

Pumped about Kawhi coming back. Leafs need to go all in and be confident they can keep Werenski.

Also this is not a small market team. We will always be top 5 players in the free agent market.

Main boards are going to wreck us if we get this guy. It's a totally manic acquisition

 

[613Leafer]

Love hearing Byram at $12.5M. If that's the direction of the market, Raddysh looks a lot better, Knies holds more trade value (if we move him), etc.

 

[The Masters]

Raptors got Kawhi
Leafs will get Wereneski.

Orders from Rogers is wanting stars

 

[Gilles Meloche]

My prediction is Bob 3 years x 7 million

 

[613Leafer]

Raptors got Kawhi
Leafs will get Wereneski.

Orders from Rogers is wanting stars

Jays also got Cease last offseason.

 

[Clark4Ever]

If this is true, then I agree.

I never go there so I don't really care what rival fans think really

 

[aingefan]

I can't believe he hasn't traded Bourque yet. Everyone knows they cant sign him. Everyone knows he's great.

I dunno. I get they’re briefly in a tricky spot, but isn’t that the kinda guy you clear the space for? There’s gonna be ways.

 

[kb]

You ask Nylander to waive first, before you offer all that.

The Leafs literally have no other RW. Please just stop.

 

[hamzarocks]

Free agency begins at noon?

No signings have happened today I think so assuming they push back FA start time now

 

[Da Mash]

There was once a time where team ownership controlled the fate of the players, now it’s the players who control the league, hopefully the pendulum stops swinging back and forth and common sense becomes the norm. I hate that it’s been one or the other because the fans are the one’s who truly get screwed over.

Owners and team control the players they drafted for several yrs.

These full no movement clauses as mentioned by several GM's are used to seal the deal. Players want protection and rightfully so.

Agents are not going to all of a sudden take these "perks" off the table.

As we see in free agency. You pay if you want something and yes it's usually an overpay.

Owners make enough money in sports.

Yes fans suffer through mistakes made by management . Been happening for a long time now.

The issue is the cap

We never cared what players made etc back in the day when there was no cap.

Blame management and not the players. Stop giving out these crippling full NMC in contracts.

But then again we will then start complaining that player X should of been signed and we should of offered a full NMC to get that player X
