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

[Rare Jewel]

My guess is this is part of the Maple Leafs pitch deck to Bob and they prepared some visuals to help him imagine what it’d be like.

That's a good call.

 

[Stephen]

Would that be considered tampering since it was leaked? They are not suppose to be having any conversations with him until July 1st.

I dunno maybe they’re making the pitch deck and it got leaked? Or they leaked it. Or there’s an Ersson sign and trade in the works.

Knies to the Rangers for Trocheck, Raddysh, Rempe, pick?

Holy balls....this is ugly and selling a toonie for 2 nickels and a penny.

Giveaway.

Rumour is the Leafs have permission and Errson could be going back in a trade.

 

[Apex Predator]

Sign and trade with everyone in the division. What can we get from Montreal and Boston?

don't think Florida would want to open up a tampering investigation, imo

If I'm Chayka and I can bring in Bob I do it and I don't care if it's a 6 year deal why?

because it's not a 6 year deal it's really a 3 year deal.

because Bob plays games, even if Stolarz came back and was better than he was in 2025 he's playing 30 games.

Because I'm sick and tired of playoff chokers and quitters in our next.

Andersen choked in game 7 in 2018 quit on them in 2021

Campbell choked away a 3-1 series lead in 2021

Woll quit on the team in 2024 when he decided not to play game 7, then choked away game 3 the next year and single handidly cost them that series.

It's time to bring in a goallie with some guts and some try.

somebody that's not afarid.

If you can get Bob you give him WHATEVER he wants

Horrible trade.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Yeah I’m on the Bob bus. Go after Bob, go after Tuch. Move out Rielly.

Use assets (2027 Avs 1st, Carlo, whatever else) for the best C possible, hopefully filling in that 2C spot.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Even a 7th for Ersson is good if we're not qualifying him anyway.

 

[Damisoph]

Why? The Leafs definitely aren't going into next season with Stolarz and Hildeby as their goalies, so another goalie is going to be brought in.

Why definitely?? The idea was we had three goalies were not waiver exempt and traded one. You're saying this was the plan all along to sign a #1 and trade both vets that we have?

The Leafs are going for it, so a move like this makes sense.

 

[FerrisRox]

Nobody is trading for Errson.

The Maple Leafs won't even qualify him. I'm not sure why he was even in that transaction, it's puzzling.

 

[Machinae]

Woll deal makes a little more sense if we're flipping Ersson for Bobrovsky's rights. But wtf are they gonna pay him?

 

[Drytoast]

why the hell do we want Bob? He's 38 and looked washed last year. Our defense this year is going to suck. Goalie success is tied to defense. We are being built as a glass canon. I base this on the coach and the system he implements. He's not a defensive minded coach.

So Bob isn't going to be the difference at 38.

Never mind the fact that Beast AND AA both deserve sniffs this year.

They have zero goalies under contract. Not much cap either.

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

Hope so or I could see the League office being a little upset about that. Not like the Leafs are Vegas and can openly recruit players a year before their become a UFA.

 

[Buckley]

Yes. I think they want a legitimate number one goalie. The goal is to win the Cup this season.

Beast and AA will both get playing time. I will be surprised if Stolarz plays more than 15 games

I could see Florida wanting him as a backup.

They do, but they have played 29 NHL games between them...

 

[Sypher04]

That’s exactly why the Leafs would be in the market for a goalie. I’m excited about AA and Hildeby, but entrusting your net to two goalies with 29 and 0 NHL games experience is unwise

 

[Vince Young]

Least shocking news:

 

[OVO16]

If you can get petterson for cheap even at full cap you do it.

McKenna. Matthews. Nylander
Knies. Petterson. Maceilli
Robert's. Tavares. Cowan.
Lorentz. Domi. Joshua.

One of the softest teams I have ever seen. Will be buried in a coffin by Florida

The alternative possibility is you don’t know what will happen.
