Trades and Free Agency - 2022/2023 Trade Deadline Edition

[Phion Keneuf]

Should be a good gauge of what Gustafsson is worth

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Yes but I doubt Knies gives you the production that Crouse does over the next 2-3 years.

Crouse also won't be playing 18 minutes and I doubt he maintains the almost 17% shooting percentage he has had over the last 2 years either.

My first thought. Carolina would have been a good fit for goose. Looking at Edmonton and NYI now.

I'll take that bet.

Knies has a much higher offensive ceiling than Crouse. And what Knies can bring only costs ELC money.

Crouse in means ROR out.

 

[lipstickjunkie]

Crouse also won't be playing 18 minutes and I doubt he maintains the almost 17% shooting percentage he has had over the last 2 years either.

I don't see why Crouse wouldn't be on the top two lines here and play 16-18 minutes. And he's never had linemates like he would have here either. Playing with a guy like Marner it wouldn't surprise me to see him completely take off.

 

[Puckstuff]

Apologies in advance, but that is the dumbest thing I have read in awhile.

You want to waive (and lose) a defender who is slotted in to the bottom pairing RD position next season to keep a f'n pending UFA this season in Kerfoot? Plus waive him over other pending UFA's in Schenn and Gustafsson?

He is the same age and from the same draft as Liljegren. So he's only going to get better.

The Leafs still have to ice a team next season, so glad we have a GM who can think 5 minutes or more into the future.

Please use logic. Please.

We don’t even have to waive him, we can keep both.

But you’re overrating Timmins just like you did with Malgin and many other young players you can’t seem to get a read on.

4 months ago Timmins had virtually no value but because of 2 good months now he’s untouchable!

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Driving vs. Flying.

That's still a thing?
When we headed down to the game in Columbus no one asked us about vaccinations.

Foreign nationals cannot enter the US via air without being vaccinated because of Biden's EO. That condition is set to expire May 11, but it has been extended several times before.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I'm just laughing at this point about the Chychrun fiasco...Gostisbehere gets traded before him LMFAO

 

[SprDaVE]

This is a wild one. Hronek is pretty good and I think this was a smart buy for Vancouver. Not sure they should be trading picks but it's clear they want to retool.

Leafs did well to get a first for Sandin. Hronek is much better.

Also this might signal the Red Wings are waiving the flag.

 

[Americanadian]

Maybe Detroit would be willing to move off Perron if they’re dealing non-rentals.

 

[Kiwi]

If we're going to run Tavares and ROR in the top 6 we need either a play driver for the 3rd line because Kampf and Jarnkrok certainly won't or we need a strong defensive player and basically use our 3rd line to take some defensive workload off the top 2 lines

So who and what do we think the cost could be? We have that first and maybe a Kerfoot and/or depth defenseman trade for picks and a middling prospect to give up (my ballpark on a potential futures package)

 

[TheDoldrums]

Haha what. Hronek seemed like a top pair guy this year. Interesting Detroit would sell for futures.

Also Vancouver clearly has no appetite for a rebuild, still think we can move Kerfoot for something there

That was never the case.

Nico Sturm?

 

[stickty111]

Hronek is a fine player and still young, but should a team in a Canucks situation be trading 1sts and 2nds?

 

[Kurtz]

Driving vs. Flying.

Foreign nationals cannot enter the US via air without being vaccinated because of Biden's EO. That condition is set to expire May 11, but it has been extended several times before.

But he's been playing road games in Canada...

Well, you just confirmed for all - you just don't know hockey at all.

The real life Alex Kerfoot of the board.

For the record, Malgin is and still was the best of the options they had at the time.

If you want, start a poll. Ask who here would waive Timmins for nothing, to keep Kerfoot.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Chychrun-Seider loading…

 

[Puckstuff]

That was never the case.

Douglas had 1 point in 13 games at the time of the Timmins trade. That’s like very very little value.

 

[Kurtz]

Hronek is a fine player and still young, but should a team in a Canucks situation be trading 1sts and 2nds?

That's what troubles me most about going after Bertuzzi. You have to deal with Yzerman and that's no fun.

No Robertson was.

 

[kb]

But he's been playing road games in Canada...

He can do that because of his US non-resident work visa.

He gives that up if he is based in Canada.

 

[Kurtz]

He gives that up if he is based in Canada.

I wonder if he can keep his Visa as he's paying some of his taxes in US states (I believe athletes pay taxes where they play. So for road games they pay taxes on their earnings in that city for that game).

 

[Buds17]

Hronek is a good acquisition for a Vancouver team that obviously isn't interested in an outright rebuild. The return could be quite something for Detroit though depending upon where in the draft order that 1st ultimately lands.

 

[stickty111]

That's what troubles me most about going after Bertuzzi. You have to deal with Yzerman and that's no fun.

Yzerman doesn't really trouble me too much honestly. It's just a good GM dealing with the clowns in Vancouver. Any competent GM was going to win that.
Bertuzzi isn't really my main target anyways. Honestly I rather pay the extra for Buchnevich if available.
