Trades and Free Agency - 2022/2023 Trade Deadline Edition

[Fogelhund]

to be fair, this feels like the craziest deadline so far.

Still some big names that will (Kane to NYR) or could be moved too.

I can't recall anything like this before... it's pretty insane.

 

[Morgs]

thoughts on laff?

He's a fine depth player that people seem to like. I don't know much about him besides his analytics have always been poo, but they could realistically improve on a good team because his role should drastically decrease.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Say Knies signs after his season is over, where does he even fit?

Has to be a few more moves made.

 

[dangomon]

This might be one of the wildest trade deadlines we've seen with the names and prices .. crazy arms race in the East

It is one of the best deadlines because of the trades, but also one of the best because it feels like a major nail in the coffin of the horrendous Trade Deadline Shows that plague that entire day.

 

[leafsfan5]

McCabe - Brodie
Rielly - Liljergen
Giordano - Holl

Is a really, really good defensive core. I hope we can get him and somehow include Lafferty in the deal as well. Team would be very well rounded at that point

LETS GOOOO

 

[ER89]

yeah that's my feeling as well. I imagine we targeted him to add some grit but also to help with PK?

I cant see kerfoot staying - doesn't make much sense.

RoR Kampf Mitch Acciari Lafferty and Engvall all can kill pens now.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Gotta wonder if we move a forward:

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Tavares - ROR - Nylander
Engvall - Kampf - Jarnkrok
Lafferty - Acciari - Kerfoot
Aston-Reese/Simmonds/Hunt/Mcmann/Clifford/Steeves || Knies? Robertson?


If Knies is Ready or Robertson is healthy, I wonder if we move Engvall or Kerfoot.

Especially with a Knies ELC.

 

[BertCorbeau]

What's nice about this latest move is that it should cement that the Leafs aren't planning on relying on Simmonds or Clifford in the playoffs as the physical players they need.

Harrington didn't even get to try a jersey on.

Watch San Jose claim him

Whoever comes out of the west will just skate circles around the East champs.

 

[ER89]

Especially with a Knies ELC.

yep - knies top 6 expectations aren't there. But if he signs, he could give us some solid fourth line minutes and add some offensive spark there.

I wish we could get a legit top 6 winger to move RoR to 3C but we cant have everything.

if the stars show up this is a long run.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Say Knies signs after his season is over, where does he even fit?

Has to be a few more moves made.

That would be a luxury at this point.

 

[Avilaj07]

Don't be surprised if you see Kerfoot + for Garland retained

 

[Fogelhund]

Whoever comes out of the west will just skate circles around the East champs.

Or the West teams won't be ready for the level of competition, that the Eastern teams have just gone through.

 

[trellaine201]

We can’t possible have one penny left in the cap?

I would love a goalie if somehow we have money or can create some space.

 

[Cor]

I assume these will be the lines;

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Tavares - O'Rielly - Nylander
Jarnkrok - Kampf - Engvall
Aston-Reese - Acciari - Lafferty

So Knies probably comes in for ZAR for a some games to end the year.

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Jarnkrok - Tavares - Nylander
Knies/Acciari - O'Rielly - Lafferty
Engvall - Kampf - Acciari/ZAR

also a possibility if they move Tavares back to C.

(assuming Kerfoot is moved)

 

[Fogelhund]

Don't be surprised if you see Kerfoot + for Garland retained

Would Vancouver really retain for this year + 3 though? I had wondered about that, but dismissed for that reason.

I wonder about Kerfoot + Holl, for Schenn + Pick, or Schenn + Hoglander. If it's a pick, go out and get someone like Comtois, another heavy LW, who has shown the ability to score in the past.

 

[SprDaVE]

Don't be surprised if you see Kerfoot + for Garland retained

Garland would need to be 50% retained for the Leafs to afford it. They're over the cap after Murray is activated.

Vancouver ain't doing that without a 1st or something here.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

The ‘24 first, Sandin, and Kerfoot would be on the move if I had my choice. Go get a defining piece to take this team deep

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Since we have a glut on D, instead of Holl, maybe we can trade Sandin+Kerfoot+prospect to Vancouver for Kuzmenko. His cap his is only 900K for the year and is re-signed for two more years.

he'd look good on Tavares wing.

I think it would be a mistake to trade Sandin... he's going to be very good in a few years, and I don't really think this team needs a "defining" piece. That being said, I'm at the point where nothing would shock me.... 24' 1st and Sandin, and we bring in Chychrun at 50%. The D at that point is ridiculous.

He's resigned at $5.5 mil. That's a tough pill to swallow, without retention. Though we could always give Minnesota another 5th...

 

[Jojalu]

Icing on the cake would be to pry Kane out of Chi.

Deal can't be made til Wed so Dubas has 2 days to convince him Tor is the place to come instead of NY

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Rather not trade Sandin unless it’s a seriously good piece coming back. Chychrun?
