Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Evilhomer]

If you added a fast skater who can get the puck out on that line maybe you can get away with it, but we chose to get rid of Lafferty, and don't really have anyone to replace him with.

Those kinds of guys are literally a dime a dozen, much like Lafferty himself. That is not something that will be difficult to replace.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Resign Nylander and let any of Klinberg, Bertuzzi, or Domi walk.

I never realized Peeke was getting healthy scratched. I thought people were crazy saying he was available over some of the others on their defence. We should be all over that.

A worse team's healthy scratch is our answer?

 

[SprDaVE]

If we were sitting out a 2.75M defenseman signed for 3? 4? more years, we would have to give up a 1st, a 2nd and Knies to unload him.

 

[LaPlante94]

It's not his playing ability keeping him healthy scratched.

 

[SprDaVE]

It's not his playing ability keeping him healthy scratched.

He definitely wouldn't be sitting if he was really good, make no mistake.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

It absolutely is, he wouldn't crack our D core.

 

[Buds17]

I'm not seeing much of a fit for Peeke on our blueline. I wouldn't be interested in moving Liljegren or Klingberg, and I also think he'd be playing too high up in the lineup as a complement to Rielly.

On paper he'd play instead of Giordano but Giordano isn't gonna sit out for long periods if healthy.

Peeke doesn't really fit all that well and to suggest he'd be a good fit to play top 4 minutes is a stretch. The Leafs would also need to be money in/out to make it work... and there ain't much I would give up for him. Kampf would really be the highest I'd go.

That'd likely position the left side D quite nicely. Unfortunately, I'd still prefer Brodie to line up alongside Rielly more than I would any of the natural RHD.

Proposal I posted on the main boards..

To Islanders - William Nylander, TJ Brodie, Leafs 1st rounder (2024)
To Leafs - JG Pageau, Noah Dobson, Alex Romanov

Salary in/salary out hockey trade...

- Leafs get two top young D
- Islanders get a sniper and a puck mover to offset the losses

View attachment 755304

In what world is Romanov a top young D? Like are you ok? Nylander is far and away the best player in this deal and you want to add a first?

 

[Kurtz]

Peake played 21 minutes/night for CBJ the past 2 years and got significant defensive zone starts. I don't imagine that he's suddenly going from that to zero - likely he's nursing an injury or is being scratched for a trade.

I won't pretend that I've paid much attention to him, but his profile is a lot like a younger Schenn. That type of guy Morgan likes on his pairing. Would allow us to slot Mccabe with Lil and Brodie with Klinberg. That's a nicely balanced top 6.

But I'm not sure how we create the cap.

They had bad depth and likely overplayed him. Those were not good CBJ teams for a reason. They went out to grab so many players on top of him over the last couple years.

In 2021-2022, he was 3rd in TOI/G. In 2022-2023 he was fourth in TOI/G (and a minus 41). Both those teams were pretty bad, especially last year. They went out to grab Provorov and Severson for this season, even after giving him a 4 year contract. It's rather bizarre CBJ keeps pushing him down the depth chart and out of the lineup.

Maybe he needs a fresh start or something. I don't see it though and it's quite the stretch to me.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Another few starts like that and we gotta flip the page on Samsonov, Jones can give you that type of goaltending for significantly less.

Calgary for a deal around Vladar (2 years vs Samsonov 1)

or LAK - they might be willing to gamble on Samsonov but would likely need to find a home for Arvidsson. I think Nashville would take Arvidsson for the year, they were sniffing around on Garland prior to the Schenn injury.

Copley+2025 4th for Samsonov and a 7th this year? Demote Copley, promote Jones

Obviously we'd need to see more from Woll too but I haven't like Samsonov's game going back to training camp and he's been hot garbage this year.

What GM wants "hot garbage" without a sweetener?

 

[TMLAM34]

I don’t think you can dump Samsonov just yet. It’s still very early and given Woll’s previous injury history moving Samsonov so soon could become a disaster real quick. If Woll keeps playing like this at the 25 game mark, I’d revisit the idea of moving Samsonov then but not at the 5 game mark.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Look at Copley's stats

It's just we get a slightly better draft pick

 

[notdoneyet]

The following assets can be traded and replaced internally
Samsanov 3.5 for Jones 875
Janrok. 2.1 for Robertson/McMann 790
Kampf 2.4 for holmberg 800

Use the extra 5.6 to get a decent dman

Jarnkrok is exceeding his contract value. Not sure that's really wise. Samsonov has sucked but he was good last season for the most part, he won't be the first or last goaltender to go through a tough patch. If Woll keeps outplaying him though, then for sure he's part of the cut list.

Kampf is really the one player that is very replaceable. I was fine with re-signing him considering everything but he really needs to step it up.

I think Jarnkrok is a nice little regular season player but pretty underwhelming in the playoffs a few years now.

We do need his speed so maybe there is an opportunity later to make a switch but definitely if the trend continues in the next 5-10 games, Samsonov and Kampf are going to have eyes on them.

 

[TMLAM34]

Mario Ferraro would be a nice addition IMO. Under a decent contract. Blocks shots, hits, moves the puck well. Could work really well with Klingberg.

Janrok may be exceeding his cap hit but only when he plays in the top six. 2.1 vs 800k for someone doing the same thing
We need defense not a 2.1 forward who can be replaced
