Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Fogelhund]

Well I think I heard the asking price was a 2nd for Tanev (which we don't have). Not sure what the ask would be for Larsson. We would likely be trading multiple picks again and I would think some one like Robertson would end up going in a deal

A couple of thirds, or a third and a B level prospect is about a 2nd. Larsson would probably be a first... maybe more.

 

[Knies iT]

Only trade Robertson if a team covets him as an add-on in a bigger deal for the right top 4 D.

Otherwise, ride out his potential and see what he becomes. Zero point using him in a lateral move or selling him for futures as his value is limited right now and we've invested a ton of time into his development. I still believe he'll be a Vatrano type down the line.

He could one day be a Trevor Moore type.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

No way Robertson gets you a 4th timmins still has pp1 potential I don’t know man

Pretty much Tanev for magic beans but I wouldn’t move a 1st for him

 

[Evilhomer]

The Leafs will acquire at least two more defensemen this season. I would be shocked if the first round pick isn't traded for one of those defensemen. This deadline won't be different than any other one - average defensemen will garner first round picks from desperate buyers. Guess who will be a desperate buyer?

I’d do it larsson still has term I would trade Brodie to recoup some asset to trade and have the cap space

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

He could one day be a Trevor Moore type.

I do worry that he will be another player that moves on to another team and becomes a good player. Kid could still become a 25-30 goal scorer. Still only 22 yrs old. On pace for 37 pts in his rookie year on 3rd line.

 

[Kiwi]

If Tanev is the guy they have there eye on I'd be surprised if the first doesn't move in that deal
I would think it's with 50% retention so that automatically Jack's up the price

I doubt we want to move our better prospects and we don't have a 2nd, I don't think Calgary is going to accept a ton of low value pieces for him either
He's going to have a decent market imo

 

[Martin Skoula]

Lowry would be nice, but you can’t afford a good supporting cast when the stars take all the cap………

Yeah the reason we don’t have a guy who makes 3.5 mil and plays 15 minutes a night on a contending team on our fourth line is because of those stupid overpaid assholes on our team. If it wasn’t for them, we could have a Wilson-Lowry-Tkachuk fourth line.

 

[jaric1862]

They need to make more under the radar trades this trade deadline. AThey should be keeping that first and using their 3rd-7th round picks to try and pick off guys they think are undervalued.

 

[Amadeus]

David Savard would be a solid get for our D.

 

[Stephen]

Lowry would be nice, but you can’t afford a good supporting cast when the stars take all the cap………

Well we could have afforded a Morgan Geekie in free agency, and Adam Lowry costs less than Kerfoot.

Easier said than done
There's a large degree of luck involved in that

Maybe if Calgary’s goalie is also involved?

That would be a splash

 

[Jacquestrapless]

God, please not a worn down Tanev for 1st.

I'd rather just pay up for Hanafin and extend.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Looking a little into the summer, I wonder about Bertuzzi's contract. If he isn't signed, that's 5.5M that could go towards a D-Man. Combined with Brodie's departure, that's 10.5M alone B.T could work with. However, where would Bertuzzi's replacement come from?

Well, with Nylander potentially signing, there would be a cap crunch coming, so my first thought would be that Cowan gets a shot. Also, Robertson if he's not traded.

I'm also keeping an eye on Bellows (and potentially Comtois).

The UFA forward market is also interesting in that some players will likely take a 1 year show me contract to play a top-six role on the Leafs.

Names like:
Cole Smith
Anthony Mantha
Anthony Beauvillier
Anthony Duclair
Dominik Kubalik
Tanner Pearson
Connor Brown

I think if Domi is offered a Nick Paul contract, he'd take it as well.

This showed up on my Twitter timeline again for some reason. Oh Burkie, what would we do without you? Maybe get a future five-time Norris trophy finalist.

Vladar?

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Any interest in Michael McLeod this offseason as a UFA? He's only 26, a beast on the draw, is solid defensively, skates like the wind, and is on tap to produce his best offensive season. Too bad we're locked in with Kampf on the 4th line and he has a NTC.

You could probably get Kuzmenko cheap as well, he's making 5.5M and would score at a top 6 rate
Defense is a bit suspect though

Burkie WTF man

Depends on how much he makes. If he would take Domi money it might work but he needs to kick in 30-40 points 5v5 to help out the top 6 imo

I'm all for getting rid of Kampf and Reeves and using that money to remake the bottom 6 if possible

Yeah I was picturing him in the Domi role for between 2-3M max (no pun intended). I do like Domi though and want him back in some capacity, but the price would have to be right.

"trade for Victor Hedman"

Burke was trading for the number two, he didnt want Hedman. He wanted Brayden Schenn 100%

You may be able to carry a Domi if the two guys beside him are good defensively like McLeod and Jarnkrok

That would probably be a good 2 way line, then we would have some leeway with the 4th line and how it's built and used

 

[as Pure as Evil]

I wonder if we see some Carter and richards like shenanigans I've kept almost getting a twitch that the reason he's in a rush to extend him he might be sold to the biggest package but as a signed commodity if I'm not mistaken most of the players the flyers got back just signed extentions also Simmons and Co.

It's a pretty hefty group of teams20+ to be light on it and a limited no trade the package could be out of the world .

But ever since it's been stated it's something they want done by the all star game tells me they might be fishing him if his number is higher then they want or can fathomly eat.

Jt better sign some 3.5 x 5 type deal to ride out his career or something nicer or punt em if he wants.north of 4

Do you keep domi to play on the wing though? I’m not soo sure robertson is what made that line look as good as it does when it does jarnkrok stabilizes the line and provides scoring and domi is the playmaker but a playmaker that doesn’t shoot needs a shooter I’m conflicted
