I don't understand why Buffalo isn't throwing a nuke on that team yesterday. I don't know what's the hold up. Just get as many young players as you can, get as many picks as you can and get as many contracts as you can to reach the floor.
But I don't know how it hasn't happened yet.

Backcheck, Forecheck, Paycheque.
They’re probably playing the long game and hoping someone overpays to get an asset early. They don’t care if they trade Hall or Ullmark tomorrow or right on deadline day, it’s all the same to them.
Staal probably only went so early because the Habs overpaid.

Wonder what kind of 2nd intermission speech Philli had in their room? "you lose to the f*****g Sabres you're all getting traded there tomorrow"

At this point it might more embarrassing being the team that loses to the Sabres than actually being the Sabres

2 weeks is a big difference. It shouldn't be the same to them. This isn't a small losing streak.
As a fan and whatever, I'd want that team to be blown up sky high and I'd want the team full of young players with projects. Not just veterans waiting for their trade papers. You want to see your management be on top of it and understand what they need to do, not just sit on their hands until potentially the last day.

Teams don't want to take on cap - they either want dollar for dollar, or are waiting until the last moment to do so I would imagine.

I think a number of their guys are also still owed a decent amount of real money (like Hall) which may be scaring away some teams

Complete and utterly ridiculous trades.
Some Boston Fan started a Bergeron trade thread.... after a good start, Boston is fading pretty bad, and could actually miss the playoffs. At some point, Boston will need to start a rebuild... so I thought, what the heck, I wondered if this is possible, so I ran the numbers... and yes, I've run in through Cap Friendly, and we actually end up with MORE cap room.
I appreciate it's unrealistic, but it would be one heck of a lineup.
Kerfoot + 2022 1st + Amirov for Bergeron at 50%
Andersen + 2021 2nd + 2022 2nd + Barabanov for Hall and Ullmark both at 50%
Dermott + 2021 1st for Ekholm at 50%
Line up
Hyman Matthews Marner
Hall/Galchenyuk Tavares Nylander
Galchenyuk/Engval/Halll Bergeron Mikheyev
Thornton/Engvall Spezza Simmonds
Rielly Brodie
Muzzin Holl
Ekholm Bogosian
Campbell
Ullmark

I want no part of a trade with Boston unless it's for a major steal for a simple low pick.
It's irrational. Whatever. I don't care. I'm probably scarred for life.

I think they've probably sewered their players trade value beyond repair. They basically have to buy draft picks by retaining salary and the Pegulas have already blown a fortune running that team into the ground.

Friedman noted that Dubas has some moves in his back pocket that he's already saved up with other teams. But he's not pulling the trigger yet to see if something better lands on his lap. Essentially stating that whatever he's got ready isn't his 1st option.
Still fun to guess what it might be

If Toronto trades for a rental forward, who do they swap out of the lineup? The 2nd line has looked good with Galchenyuk and I don't see them making the Wanye Train or Jumbo Joe as healthy scratches. I also don't see Dubas trading Kerfoot away until the summer using him to help us in the playoffs. I guess that leave Engvall as the odd man out?
My targets as rentals are: 1) Nick Foligno, 2)Kyle Palmieri, 3) Taylor Hall, 4) Granlund. Im assuming it would take a 2nd+ a prospect to get a deal done, maybe abit less.
Hyman - Matthews - Marner
Galchenyuk - Tavares - Nylander
Mikheyev- Kerfoot - XXX ?
Jumbo Joe - Spezza - Simmonds (really slow 4th line lol)

Crazy how Dubas did everything to cover his *** in net and we still end up with Hutch playing 20% of our games.
#1 and #2 get injured after #3 gets claimed on waivers, #4 and #5 are the only healthy ones with #6 getting injured as well.
Trades for another goalie and had to wait 14 days to be added to the roster.
Happens every year to a few teams but we had horrible luck with timing of injuries. Even with the forwards that required us to waive Dell.

I still think we're short a top 9 forward, if Hyman is going to eat some minutes on that checking line somebody good needs to play with Matthews and Marner when Hyman can't

Yea I don't know but when it comes down the stretch in playoff hockey I highly doubt all 13 will stay healthy at once so that decision may make itself. But when they are all healthy, I think it's between Engvall, Jumbo & Simmonds but could be Chucky if he has an off game or another guy that's banged up... Simmonds you want in for toughness & some character (and PP1 netfront), Jumbo you want in for character, Engvall would be just be his fit to the lineup & some speed/size. I'd want to scratch Jumbo but it'd most likely be Engvall unless he happened to be really outplaying Kerfoot (or Chucky).
I am shocked at how Chucky is playing, I've never seen a shift of him like this before he came to Toronto... Whatever it is it doesn't seem to be going away either, he looked even more aggressive and tenacious this last game & I didn't realize he had that in him. He's coming out each shift like the angry midget out of the oven from project X
To each team that thought his career was over once going through waivers unclaimed...
Need some of this to rub off on Nylander

Which shouldn't surprise anyone given we dealt away two top 9 forwards and tried to replace them with aging vets making peanuts. We absolutely need to add a decent forward. Probably more than a dman. Never thought I'd say that.
Laughton for our 3C spot would be nice and make a run at Foligno. These moves make the leafs more of a playoff team.
Foligno Matthews Marner
Galchenyuk Tavares Nylander
Mik Laughton Hyman (defensive matchups)
Thornton Spezza Simmonds (few minutes)

Thornton SHOULD be the odd man out of the lineup, but it’ll probably be Engvall or Kerfoot via trade.
If we can upgrade on Dermott on the backend, that would be fantastic as well.

If the team is healthy and playing well I see Thornton being the odd man out unless Keefe (from most to least likely):
1. Splits up HEM line
2. Splits up Galchenyuk-Tavares-Nylander
3. Swaps Thornton for Simmonds
4. It's a game 7
Odds are it won't problem when everyone is either not healthy or Thornton is in and out of the lineup, which is good for managing his workload as long as he's a good teammate that takes it well. Pretty sure he'd still be in the room with them, just not on the bench or ice during those times.
