Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[andora]

Omg jesus.. murray pokes up and says dont forget about me

I wonder what body part gets hurt in his setback

 

[notdoneyet]

We need a tough drop the gloves dman and another of the same for a fourth line player to combat the Florida rats. If not we are gone in five again because the refs will let the rats run wild.

What we seem to have is media speculation as to the ask... whether they have actually talked to anyone in Calgary is unknown. I don't know that the ask was publicly stated as a 2nd at first... or if it was, and there was enough demand Calgary thought that they could bump it up to a 1st.

Media suggested a 2nd., but since Leafs didn't have a 2nd. it was a 1st. from Leafs.
So now maybe the strategy is to say, "Leafs offering a 1st., so beat that offer."

I'd be extremely disappointed if the Leafs GM offered up a 1st. for Tanev.
It wouldn't show any improvement / growth in strategy.

That reasoning by the media is unreasonable

I'm selling an item for $10 but the buyer only has a $20, so that's what it'll take to purchase it.

The Leafs can offer an equilivant value to a 2nd round pick, it doesn't raise the price because we don't happen to have a 2nd

Anybody think they will trade Sammy because of his cap hit to get the d man they need. Sounds like Murray is progressing, wouldn't be surprised if they activate him for playoffs to be the third goalie

I'd say it's incredibly unlikely Murray dresses for any professional hockey in the 2023-24 season. Next year as a UFA is a different story.

Dumba doesn't help us anymore than Timmins. Dude is a firetire in his zone
Schenn was good last year, but his contract is untouchable in my opinion

Long shot, but I would target Kuzmenko as a potential depth signing. As much as I like Knies, not sure if he has the horses yet to be playing top 3 come playoff times

Last year was a small sample obviously but he was fantastic until that f***er Bennett ended his season. Wasn't he on for 3 or 4 gwg against Tampa?

Maybe we can convince JT to do a Murray / Kucherov thing, take the regular season off, re-join with us at the playoffs.

 

[ULF_55]

For S&G

Malkin 6.1, 6.1, 6.1
for
Tavares 11, 11

Obviously, both have to agree.

If he was willing to deal his first, Tanev would be a Leaf. heard Tre offered 2x3rd.

 

[Fogelhund]

Interesting that nobody ever mentions Zub.

 

[ULF_55]

From Ottawa?

I was looking at their players and Zub RD, good size and age.

 

[Duffman955]

Are the islanders selling? We could look into their Dmen

Mayfield
Pulock

 

[Avilaj07]

Still would love to see the Leafs go after Larsson and Tanev from Seattle.

To Toronto-
Larsson
Tanev

To Seattle-
Jarnkrok
Timmons
Reaves
Niemela
1st Round Pick

Knies-Matthews-Marner
Bertuzzi-Domi-Nylander
Tanev-Tavares-McMann
Robertson-Kampf-Holmberg

Rielly-Larsson
Brodie-Liljegren
Benoit- McCabe
Giordano

Kyper suggested Lee or Nelson (50%) for Cowan.

 

[LeafChief]

Kyper isn't all that great with the trades he proposes.

 

[ToneDog]

Kyper isn't all that great with the trades he proposes.

In fairness he is trading Cowan if he thinks the player puts us over the top. His modo is to go all in if you think you are close because Cowan won't help for another 4 years. It makes sense but I prefer to hang onto Cowan.

 

[horner]

Kyper suggested Lee or Nelson (50%) for Cowan.

No

Cowan is going to help next year lmao not 4 years from now.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Interesting that nobody ever mentions Zub.

I've mentioned him but Ottawa would want an overpay and have no reason to move him. Chychrun is more likely to be moved.

 

[Evilhomer]

Mayfield
Pulock

They most definitely should be selling, but nobody should be buying Scott Mayfield. Pulock is a different story, but he would require actual assets to acquire.

Kyper suggested Lee or Nelson (50%) for Cowan.

The fact that he even suggested Anders Lee says everything you need to know. Lee is fully cooked, as in he would make Jason Allison look fast.

 

[darrylsittler27]

Seth Jones / Huberdeau / Nurse are probably the worst contracts in the NHL

Tavares ranks

 

[LeafChief]

It's not the logic that I disagree with.

Neither Lee nor Nelson put us over the top. Cowan might be on the team as soon as next season.

We need Cowan. We may have to let Marner walk if we implode again. A new gm may not want to overpay him.

 

[Evilhomer]

I can see the logic in Nelson. He could be a really good second line centre for the Leafs, and he's proven that he can score in the playoffs. But it would for sure cost the 1st and a good prospect since he has another year left on his contract.
