Thoughts on claiming the other Svechnikov? / Trading for him if he clears?

24, 6'3 LW. 5 points in 10 games this year on a abysmal Detroit team.
Positive Corsi Rel over his career.
Skates well, seems like he knows what hes doing defensively.
Could be an interesting 'rebuild' guy to sit on the taxi squad for the rest of the year.

I think he's salvageable, don't think we claim him though.

It is a little odd that Dubas is carrying a 21-man roster instead of a 20-man roster while trying to accrue cap space, to get AHL guys some extra cash. That tells me he isn't making more than 1 add prior to the deadline (unless he ends up having to add a goalie?), but that also wouldn't leave the Leafs D depth in great shape; I'd think he'd have to at least add a waiver exempt (therefore a buried cap hit of 0) D for depth that's at least slides Liljegren, Rosen, & Marincin down the depth chart. Maybe I'm wrong but I really hope I'm not.

That backpocket deal with a team completely out of a playoff spot (& selling) must be between Hall, Rakell & ..... maybe Tanner Pearson or Miles Wood...

I'd think he's waiting on NSH, LAK, NJD, PHI & CBJ with Granlund, Iafallo, Palmieri, Laughton, & Foligno.

I would assume it's because they're on a 3 game road trip in Western Canada and need to survive intact with reinforcements until Monday night.

Elliott mentioned twice this past week that he thinks Dubas has a move in Back-Pocket ready to go but is waiting for a bigger Fish to land on his lap until the deadline. Also, he accruing as much cap-space as possible.

Have to assume this with a team that is FOR SURE 0ut of the playoff race. So meaning Anaheim/Detroit/Buffalo/New Jersey/Ottawa?/San Jose?

Highly doubt he has something lined up and ready to go with a team that may still be in the playoff race. There's 2 sides/teams to any trade

I think something escaping most folks is the Leafs cap analysts will know down to the exact date of when they will want to make a trade for certain guys. Early is not always better in this case

That would be a much easier way to go about it (and one that I'd prefer) but the Leafs may still go after Ullmark (or another NHL goalie) knowing Andersen might be back for playoffs. I'm not saying I agree with it but it's a possibility if Dubas wants to hold on to Andersen, but still wants an NHL goalie in the case both Campbell & Andersen aren't healthy.

Edit: you're probably right regarding the caliber of goalie coming in, Ullmark is more than a stop-gap; he's a pretty solid starter.

I dunno , a strong 3rd goalie might be worth it either way with both top goalies being hurt.
For Ullmark....what’s the difference? He’s not seeing the playoffs anyway?

Good to hear Dubas has kicked tires on Kuemper and Raanta, two very capable goalies who would be an upgrade on this version of Andersen. I'd prefer Kuemper as he is signed through next season, but the cost would be higher.

Again, guys not sniffing the playoffs, so if they’re added but don’t play (because the tandems healthy) no harm no foul.
And they get some exposure to the market and a first class organization.
 
Hall for a 1st (3rd team needed for salary cap retention)
Gurianov+Oleksiak for Sandin + Amirov
Ullmark for Andy


Hall-Matthews-Marner
Robertson-Tavares-Nylander
Hyman-Engvall-Gurianov
Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Simmonds

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Oleksiak-Bogosian

Campbell
Ullmark

This team would battle for the cup
 
Jets fan here...obviously I hope the Jets do well but I don't see them getting past Edmonton/Montreal to face the Leafs in the semis. Nor do I see them being able to make a splash in the trade market because of the expansion draft implications.

That said, I kind of want to see the Maple Leafs truly go for it as some insiders have speculated - figure out the ramifications in the off season. I know you have been looking at another winger...maybe Galchenyuk makes that unnecessary maybe not.

I deal I want to see is the Leafs grab Bennett from Calgary for the third line. It would be a great storyline.

Welcome. You guys are much more built for playoff hockey - I don't see either Edmonton or Montreal getting by you guys right now.

For us, I think the book is out in terms of if Galy can be that guy in the 2LW spot. Some seem to want someone with more grit who can play the playoff brand of hockey. I like Galy but with this roster we'll still get run over by the more physical teams in the post season.

From where I'm sitting the problem with Bennett is he may not be good enough for that 3C spot, and we'd need to move someone out for him. Very questionable in terms of if that would be better for us or not.

Dermott plays 12:36 right now.

Rielly is at 24, which is where he should be.

Muzzin is at 21:30. Brodie plays almost 22 but he is a RD. Holl is at 21 and he is also a RD.

You can maybe scrounge a couple of minutes from Rielly and Muzzin but he's not getting any more than like 16 minutes a night unless he is taking minutes from the RD's.

Are you playing Oleksiak 12 minutes a night?
Click to expand...

I think the answers are obvious? One, he (Dermott) plays 12m a night because he has to. Two, if Muzzin goes down (or Rielly) again like he did against CLB we are pooched. Three, we are going to get steamrolled physically, and Oleksiak would put some fear into opposition. That's much more important come postseason. I just see a lot of upside there.
