Trades and Free Agency - 2022/2023 Trade Deadline Edition

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Sounds like Coyotes fans with Chychrun.

Or Sharks fans with Meier

 

[Canada4Gold]

I just don't think he's cheap enough going into next year to fit with so many people to re-sign and juggle. I also don't think Holl + Kerfoot fits enough of a cap dump because they'd be taking on ~300k more.

He's obviously really good though so it's not a bad idea. I like him.

I know 24/25 is tight. But we were making it work during the whole Meier rumours with Meier at 8.5 or 9. If you want to do Bunting and ROR then yeah it's impossible. I think you might be able to get 1 of them in with Buchnevich pending how much they want. I'd take Buchnevich for 2 more years over either ROR/Bunting at FA prices though you have to factor in acquisition cost.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Brayden Schenn would’ve been nice if his contract wasn’t too expensive/long.

 

[Rielly4]

Yeah I have been flamed on Capfriendly for even suggesting a Jenner trade and I have offered an arm and a leg. You would think Columbus would want to get future assets but maybe they still think they are contending soon with the Gaudreau signing.

 

[OVO16]

Should Lawson Crouse be a target

 

[stats1]

We'd need a first pairing replacement for Brodie which wouldn't be cheap. Lil's bridge also ends and he'll want to get paid. We'd have lost Gio's bargain contract. Plus we'd need to spend on goaltending. It's going to be super, super tight.

Things open up afterwards though once JT's deal is off the books and he's back on a Spezza special.

There’s always a way around money/cap. People for years have been saying “ how will the Leafs stay competitive when you’re paying Tavares 11 million a year” look at the team Dubas has put together up against the cap every year. It’s super deep, easily the deepest team in 20 years.

There’s always a way around the cap etc, this is why teams have executives strictly who work the cap

 

[Rielly4]

I think a guy like Jenner or even Laughton would be a very nice add but we could also go down the route of retention like we did for mccabe. Like Garland at half retained is like 2.4. Not sure if Vancouver would do that but Kerfoot + 1st for that would probably be a strong option. Not that I want to give up a 1st for Garland but at that price point its pure value.

 

[TimeZone]

I was literally just posting the information fellas. Christ.

No, not you.

The Arizona Franchise.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

No, not you.

The Arizona Franchise.

Ahh. Fully agree then. Chychrun being held out this long with no trade on the table with less than three days from the TDL is ridiculous.

 

[OVO16]

What about David Perron?

It's pretty crazy to see a lot of Garland love here when people can't stand Kerfoot. Garland has shown better scoring (except for this year) but I'm not sure I buy that the Leafs would want Garland even at 50% since they already have a few players like him already. Seems just not very good even at 2.5M for what they are trying to do and just gives another hard working small forward.

 

[bax]

Now get Wilson, and we are all set for battle with Tampa lmao.

That’s my dream right there. That and a Murray replacement and deadline done!

 

[Phion Keneuf]

What about David Perron?

Forgot he’s still around. If he’s anything like what he was in the past I’m definitely interested.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I think trading Engvall created a bigger hole today than there was on the team yesterday. We're lacking any semblance of transition play and chance creation in our bottom-6 besides Kerfoot & to a lesser extent Jarny.

Ideal/realistic lines for me right now:

Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
ROR-Tavares-Marner
Kerfoot-Kampf-Jarnkrok
Holmberg-Accari-Lafferty
ZAR

Rielly-Gus/Holl
McCabe-Brodie
Giordano-Liljegren
Schenn

Give me a 3C or 2W to push Kampf down the lineup.

Good thing Knies is a transition fiend as well. Him + A guy like Terry would go a long way

Yeah Im with you, I dont see why people are so enamored with garland either.

After all the changes ... that 3rd. line is hole.

 

[SprDaVE]

What about David Perron?

Super underrated. He'd be a very sneaky good add if Detroit sells off.

But he's got another year at 4.75M and he's turning 35 years old. Kinda iffy.

 

[Holls Blackmail]

O'Reilly seems like a greedy, "get all my money dude," but for some reason I can see him taking a hometown discount (a la Giordano) with us depending on how the rest of the year goes.

Winning a Conn Smythe kinda makes you feel like you have some value…

 

[MoreMogilny]

Definitely need another scoring forward now.

Lost some speed and goal scoring in the bottom 6.

Either bring in a top 6 winger, or a top 9 C that can drive play.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Super underrated. He'd be a very sneaky good add if Detroit sells off.

Yep that’s a good one

 

[stats1]

Is there actual smoke with Wilson? Paul Bissonette tweeted out something with Wilson and the Leafs. And Wilson was trending on twitter for a bit. He’d be a dream pick up and a perfect icing on the cake piece for this roster.

Could you imagine, Tom Wilson, Acciari, Sam Lafferty, McCabe, ROR, Schenn. smashing TB snd Boston in the playoffs. Ahhh I wish…

Nah. Just mostly fan fare with the Caps selling off some UFA's but they are retooling for next season.

I agree I would rather have size. But a guy at the high skill playing in our top 6 is a surefire 60 point player locked into 2.4 for 4 more seasons. I would gladly take a guy with size if we could get a cheap deal or a team to retain.

That sucks. I’m just wondering what’s next lol because we all know there’s literally 0% chance Dubas keeps that 1st rounder. He’s gone this far might as well dig deeper lol

 

[Commander Clueless]

Is it too early to extend Acciari? We've needed an Acciari for quite some time.
