Trades and Free Agency - 2022-23 Season Edition

Thoughts for a Kerfoot trade.

Nashville for Cody Glass?

(Thinking Kerfoot + SDA for Glass+ mid pick)

Kerfoot slots into the 2nd line with Nino and Johnsson.

Glass has struggled the last two years with injuries, but is still only 23 and a good sized, good skating two-way guy who has middle 6 C potential if he can get things together. Would like to see him as 3C with the Leafs after a trade like this.

Leafs save almost 2.75m against the cap, and add an extra contract spot.

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Robertson - Tavares - Nylander
Engval - Glass - Jarnkrok (Gives Glass good defensive W's, and some speed)
ZAR - Kampf - NAK
Malgin

Injury problems, and I don't think he's as versatile as Kerfoot.

I think our centre strength would be much better with Willy at 2C and JT at 3C, than putting them together (where they don't really mesh) and having Glass at 3C.

Cody glass just made the roster in Nashville. People need to understand no teams are giving up anything positive for Kerfoot whose considering a cap dump in this market.

Only in Toronto is a player of Kerfoot's caliber and contract considered a "cap dump".

 

[LeafEgo]

Maybe I haven't read enough but he seems sincere to me. And since when should anyone be embarrassed by the opinions of someone who has the loosest of all possible associations imaginable (interest in the same thing)? Are people really that weak and sheepish?

You probably haven't read enough. It's not serious work, the content is driven by clicks. They have a good thing going.

Not for embarrassment, just a revenue ploy.

Question for those who know the cap a bit better than I do.
Could the Leafs hold off on signing ZAR until after the first game and then use the emergency recall space to sign him?

I would think the answer is no but if they could it could allow the team to keep both of Robertson and Malgin until they are forced to make a roster decision when Liljegren is ready to come back

 

[WTFMAN99]

Engvall has gotta be the one to go. I've messed with capfriendly so much and no way around it.

Interesting question. I’d think no, because you’d just be signing him and not recalling him from anywhere.

Today is massive number of waivers day.

Expecting some interesting stuff today.

I think some organization likely grabs Valimaki too off of waivers.

 

[SprDaVE]

Might be where we see a couple trades happen in the next 24 hours if/when players clear waivers. I think we see the Leafs get involved... because I don't think they have a choice anyway.

Tavares isn't unhealthy enough for LTR

Lilerjegren to LTIR doesn't buy enough room

We need contract spots...we gotta sign ZAR but at the same time, we need at least 1 more spot for Knies too.

Toronto has emailed around the league and made it known Simmonds is available. Return not important, trying to do right by the player as per Friedman on twitter.

LOL don’t everyone rush at the same time

I'll never understand why we gave him a 2 year deal instead of 1

It seemed obvious to keep doing 1 years until we no longer needed him

So if we waived him he was less likely to get claimed. That apparently was the motive for him and Clifford getting term.

I think they gave him 2 years to get a lower cap hit/a cap hit that was fully buriable. Rather than waive him they give him a chance to pick his spot (of teams with interest, if any) - but the risk to the leafs was pretty limited since they can and will just waive him if they have to.

I know everyone loves to claim our guys but I doubt Simmonds would be one of them tbh

Does he clear waivers?

He's far from a cap dump. Moving him would give cap wiggle room but I don't think he'll be the one moved.

Yeah the good part is it's buriable and he can be waived, not too big of a deal overall

But I don't think getting a 2nd year was to keep the AAV down, he's worth little to nothing at this point so he couldn't ask for much

 

[Magic Man]

Does he clear waivers?

I think he is still an NHL level enforcer. There are not many of them out there. I would be surprised if he cleared.

 

[William Hylander]

Simmonds will clear 100%, he cant skate and his only skill aside from punching heads and hitting is when he has 5 seconds with the puck in front of the net. Hes not providing anything.
