Trades and Free Agency - 2022/2023 Trade Deadline Edition

[Isaac Nootin]

On his own, what's Gustafssons value? 2nd round pick?

 

[Cor]

After making 2 major trades, I figured we'd trade Kerfoot or Engvall and call it a deadline.


But me thinks we have a 3rd blockbuster coming

 

[Contenderorpretender]

For sure going for chychrun now.

 

[dubplatepressure]

I can't see us standing pat after dealing for that 1st. Hurts losing Sandin though.

Agreed - has to be something else in the cooker.

 

[Rude Dog]

Saros please. Likely not available but if they are rebuilding….

 

[BertCorbeau]

If they’re making another big move I hope this player has a lot of control.

What bugs me is the Leafs giving up a nice young D-man with lots of control

 

[Magic Man]

Do they try to sneak ZAR down to the Marlies through waivers to become cap compliant when Murray returns after the trade deadline?

 

[GrizzGreen]

lol weird how they are apparently 8 million dollar defenseman

Nurse/Hamilton/Trouba/Jones say hello

 

[Fogelhund]

Do not be surprised if Kerfoot, Engvall and Holl are shipped out to recoup draft capital and assets really soon. Both Chychrun and Gavrikov are still in play and something tells me Dubas has his eyes on these guys. That 1st now comes into play.

He's not done people. Kerfoot is the next to go. Has become expendable with OReilly, Acciari and Lafferty acquisitions. Too many forwards. We have Kampf, Jankrok, Engvall and ZAR that will play in the bottom 6.

​

I don't think it would be Gavrikov... doesn't seem to play much on the right side, and hasn't been very effective as far as I know. Plus, we got our shut down guy already.

Chychrun I could see. Parayko would be interesting, and completely change the dynamics of our roster... As much as I've been negative about him, McCabe and him would make a decent pairing. Plus size. At this point, everything happening is starting to get random and hard to predict. Could be a forward we get... Still a deal with Vancouver coming, with Kerfoot out, and ??? coming back too.

 

[Americanadian]

That's before this year... it's changed.. Gustaffson has dropped off... what I posted reflects that.

The player cards I posted are from this season. Here is a screenshot of EvolvingHockey GAR from this season too:

 

[Drew311]

What are we thinking?

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Tavares - O'Reilly - Nylander
Engvall - Kampf - Jarnkrok
Lafferty - Acciari - Kerfoot
ZAR

Rielly - Brodie
Giordano - McCabe
Gustafsson - Liljegren
Holl, Timmins

Samsonov
Murray

Oh well... it's a bit irrelevant this discussion anyway. I doubt either would have seen ice time, barring injury.

 

[Jozay]

Maybe Garland or Boeser?

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Imagine he pulls off a trade for Saros/Gibson/Demko. That would be an insane way to end the trade deadline.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

I might be in the minority here but I don’t think we need a goalie. Got faith in Sammy

 

[WTFMAN99]

Pagnotta says another deal may happen in an hour or so, lots of activity around toronto.

 

[SprDaVE]

Dubas is not screwing around, holy moly

 

[TheDoldrums]

Maybe Garland or Boeser?

Kerfoot + 1st for Garland at 50% retention would be the move

 

[Judas Tavares]

Agreed. It's a small piece, but a smart piece of business. Recently I was criticizing Dubas for not replenishing picks often enough. The only method had been trading down and when he traded Kapanen, which was a great move. Getting these picks back here and there may seem like small potatoes but can really help.

The above is about getting the 5ths back in the McCabe deal. Now Dubas recoups a 1st. Ya it may be out the door, but that can only mean for another asset (hopefully a good one). Loving these piece of work. Can't just toss them away like candy all the time. Need them as currency to pick and/or trade.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

I personally think they trade kerfoot and go after chychrun with the 2 1st they now have.

 

[JKG33]

Imagine he pulls off a trade for Saros/Gibson/Demko. That would be an insane way to end the trade deadline.

That would do it

 

[Judas Tavares]

I'm not sure if Garland or Boeser move the needle for me. And they take up a decent amount of cap need to re-sign some guys.

 

[Menzinger]

More fuel for this fire. When the Cannucks pay like a 4th for Kerfoot they're going to have so many upset fans here

 

[Menzinger]

Dubas is not screwing around, holy moly

If Dubas' somehow trades the 2 1sts they have for say Chychrun, I have no doubt the universe will simply implode on itself
