Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Leaffan1991]

If dubas didn't get rid of all our draft picks I would say a first for Tanev is fine but not having any picks I'm going to pass.
Maybe make a play for a bit lesser of a d man and hopefully just use our b prospects instead.
Go crazy during free agency this offseason
Pesce
Tanev
Etc

When the Ducks decide to start selling, I'd be asking about Henrique. Cap space is pretty limited so it would have to be at 50, maybe even 75% retention, but I think he would fit in quite well as a 3rd line center and making us much deeper.

 

[Leaffan1991]

With all the smoke coming out of st Louis I guess we'll see if they go on a run like they did last time they fired a coach mid-season. Think they won the cup that year. But if they keep sliding gotta wonder if parayko will be back on the block

Definitely a Treliving kind of guy

 

[as Pure as Evil]

Sometimes the.small defensive acquisitions make all the difference we may not need to spend tons might have a ton of sellers wouldn't hurt to Guage and wait at this point

9 picks this draft.

And for those absolutely new to hockey, here is a primer.

There are 2 phases, one is trading off UFA's to collect assets (draft picks). This is called the building, or rebuilding stage. The other phase is using assets to fill holes on your contending team. <-- that is where the Leafs are, and have been for years.

You're welcome

Anaheim has a ton of defensive prospect.
What would entice them to trade one ?

Depends which one. I'm quite bullish on Drysdale, I think he's a bit beyond a prospect, however.

Tanev's 4th in TOI in Calgary averaging 18 mins a game. basically the same usage as Zadorov had I don't see how they can negotiate a 1st for Tanev when they moved Z for 3rd(2026) + 5th unless they retain alot but even then I dont think it's worth a 1st.

Our 3rd line is starting to grow on me and I think it's value will come in close arm wrestle type games where it can chip in a goal or were behind trying to come back

Also if Reeves isn't on the 4th line those guys can do a lot of the grunt defensive work for us

All that's to say I want to throw our assets towards one high quality, use in every situation, makes his partner better top 4 defenseman
I'm talking best guy available

Can't get those on Amazon.


Any suggestions?

Still seems like Columbus is the obvious trade partner. A ton of quality D, established and prospects.

yeah got my eye on peeke for sure and we play them 3 over the next segment of games should be a cheap acquisition

I didn't think Clarke was good defensively ?

Pretty sure he’s a offensive dman

 

[Rare Jewel]

Wish.com?

Tried it.

Shipping and handling on a Chris Tanev is way too much, and there's some assembly required.

 

[Fogelhund]

It's certainly not his strength. He has some work to do there, and he needs to put on some weight and strength. But he's also 5th in points in the AHL, as a rookie D man.

Read what some scouts had to say....

It doesn't matter much, they wouldn't trade him anyway, and we are talking hypothetically.

Don't know about that chief.

Saying that I'd have a look at Bean and hope for a Skjei-like turnaround.

I mean he is doughtys aire they’re just rebuilding the 2010 teams they have their formula right

Tanev hurt again .I'll pass

Look into Adam larsson

He's always injured

Noah Warren big can skate like to hit

I’d insure that package, could get damaged in transit……

Established D
Werenski
Provorov
Severson

Top prospects
Jiricek
Mateychuk
Ceulemans
Svozil

Servicable D with potential
Boqvist
Peeke
Bean

Obviously not all of these guys fit our needs, but they do have a ton of D and guys coming up the system

 

[MarMarSab3]

Our top 6 is elite doesn't need to be touched
I'm surprisingly happy with the 3rd line
Our 4th line needs an upgrade @ RW

Our clear need is a top pairing defenceman and that won't be easy to trade for.

Reilly *****
McCabe Liljegren
Gio/Benoit/Lagesson Brodie

Adam Larsson checks alot of boxes

 

[Fogelhund]

Look into Adam larsson

Larsson was the guy I've thought all along, and posted about in the summer. I think he'd make an excellent complimentary partner for Rielly.

You're not wrong, that's a lot of hockey players.

But aside from Werenski and Severson, who are proven. It's a high cost, like Jiricek, or question marks like Peeke or Bean.

We're probably not in a position to go for anyone in that 2nd group.

He would.

I hope Ron Francis shares your enthusiasm about the move.
