Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Evilhomer]

How has Holl been this year?

I think the leafs end up standing pat.

I think no chance they stand pat. They will get one or two guys.

How has Holl been this year?

I think the leafs end up standing pat.

Can you imagine if we stand pat and then get bounced in the ECF or something?

I mean I'd still be pretty pleased but....the backlash...

 

[Warden of the North]

I'm just super pissed that again, a guy that was rumoured to be on the Leafs radar but would require a 1st to get it done ultimately gets traded for scraps.

Zadorov? Scraps
Tanev? Scraps

Who's next? Maybe he'll get moved to someone else for scraps+future scraps

 

[TheShape]

Would you trade it for Roy w/ an extension?

No. I'd rather retain the 1st and take my chances on Matt Roy for cap space in the off-season. I'm only doing that type of deal for a cream of the crop, needle mover type of player. Matt Roy is good, but players like him are available every free agency.

 

[SprDaVE]

Soooo...swing for Parayko? I know he hasn't looked good this year, but he's only 30 and at his best is one of the better defensive dmen in the league and has no issue logging 23+ minutes/game. Also a cup winner, which we don't have on the roster.

We'd also be buying low I think due to his poor play this year, but he's a prime bounce-back candidate...and if he does bounce back, $6.5m is a bargain for a legit first pairing RHD.

Blues won't retain so we'd have to send back some salary, which might be tricky.

I don't know if this can be done before the deadline even if the Blues were selling low, and they likely are to some degree.

It could be a bit of a Phaneuf level trade (multiple average assets for multiple average assets), but I don't think the Leafs would make that kind of move now either. They are rare and typically a top team doesn't need to make this kind of trade -- they wanna purely add.

They really just need to be patient and evaluate the market.

Conroy blinked first. I think he gets that 1st on deadline day, but I understand why Conroy pulled the trigger now given Tanev's age and injury history.

would a prospect. 2 3 be that much different to a 1st

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Stand pat. No difference makers.

Hanifin can be a great add. He can be part of long term solution as well

 

[TheShape]

Hanifin can be a great add. He can be part of long term solution as well

Forget about Hanifan, he's not re-signing in Canada.

 

[Stephen]

Positively I think this deal will have a positive impact for buyers on the market.

That said seems more likely than ever that the Flames would rather not deal with Tre if they don't have to (remember Leafs also looked at Zadorov who they opted to trade elsewhere for fairly cheap).

Leafs tdl move(s) likely will be elsewhere....

It was such a tepid auction for Tanev in the end, and Dallas just came in and hit the Buy Now button.

 

[Stephen]

Imagine

How about Justin Holl at 50% retained. In exchange:

 

[fahad203]

Forget about Hanifan, he's not re-signing in Canada.

I mean we have Matthews who is American as it gets signed with us. So did Kessel.

Plenty of Americans resign here.

 

[Menzinger]

It was such a tepid auction for Tanev in the end, and Dallas just came in and hit the Buy Now button.

Seems like teams started asking ridiculous prices for these guys and buyers stopped calling.

 

[weems]

Hyman 40 goals

 

[horner]

I thought tanev would get more
But between tanev and Hanifin I would like hanifin more

We need a RD

 

[Stephen]

Seems like teams started asking ridiculous prices for these guys and buyers stopped calling.

Yeah, I mean it's still just Chris Tanev, not Pronger. That big, defensive stalwart type of player is extremely valuable, absolutely necessary to have success in the playoffs, I love and appreciate them... but the difference between a really good one, and a pretty good one isn't that dramatic.

My thinking is if we have to spend the first, I'd rather package it up and get a bigger fish, longer term so it's solving roster needs for 2024, 2025 and hopefully beyond. We don't have a first next year so this buy would have to cover 2 playoff runs at least.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I am starting to wonder if CGY just doesn't want to do any trades with their ex-GM.

So be it. I don't think Tanev is the ultimate solution. I am pretty excited to see how TOR's TDL and the rest of the league does now.

 

[Avilaj07]

Still think Larsson/Borgen should be our target

 

[All Mod Cons]

Imagine

Guentzel for Holl?

 

[ToneDog]

Still think Larsson/Borgen should be our target

Can't see Seattle having any interest in moving Larsson. Not sure about Borgen.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Hyman 40 goals

Miss that guy every day. Should never have been let go.

 

[Torontonian]

Seems pretty clear that Calgary ownership has a issue with Treliving for quitting, only going to trade with us if we overpay.

Apart from Guenztel and Hanafin, it seems like poor crop of trade targets, which is good for the teams buying.

 

[Menzinger]

 

[SprDaVE]

Edmonton is apparently talking a lot to the Preds per Marek as well, likely in regards to Carrier, Novak and/or whatever else.

Seems like a lot of smoke happening today.
