Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

Why
They are exactly what we need to keep the Florida rats at bay.

Because the Florida rats are actually good at hockey and those 3 guys I mentioned are currently 6/7 dman on non playoff teams.

 

[TMLAM34]

Lily is their only RHS until now and next year if Boosh walks. If Tre wants to use another bullet, he could trade for another RHD with term and move Brodie or Benoit.

I sure hope Tre doesn’t move Benoit. He’s your ideal third pairing dman and still young. Hopefully he found a home here and re-signs with term.

 

[ToneDog]

I sure hope Tre doesn’t move Benoit. He’s your ideal third pairing dman and still young. Hopefully he found a home here and re-signs with term.

Brodie would be the guy to trade if I was 100% convinced Benoit can do it in the playoffs.

 

[Shooter2x]

Please get Trenin on F to compliment Boosh on D...Oh man good luck to our playoff opponents if we can pull that off.

Hidden gems: Three NHL trade targets with a standout strength

Every NHL depth player has value, but identifying those with potential to move the needle for a team ready to make a run is tricky. After studying video and digging into underlying numbers, Vanessa Kezwer pinpointed three players who can be those guys.

Listed are Carrier, Dowd and Olofsson

 

[613Leafer]

I sure hope Tre doesn’t move Benoit. He’s your ideal third pairing dman and still young. Hopefully he found a home here and re-signs with term.

He's also an RFA so we have control, and his style of play is conducive to the playoffs. I wouldn't move him.

Rielly Dumba
Brodie Lyubushkin

Lagesson Brown

Woll

OUT: Liljegren, Robertson, Kämpf, Järnkrok, Gregor,

 

[Mitch nylander]

I'm on the trade Gregor train. I like him as a player, but once Jarnkrok is back he's the guy I waive.

He's an RFA and he can play at this level, so he might be able to get a pick.

Bjugstad would be nice but Kunin is crap, and I wouldnt want to push Lilly outta the lineup, he is better than both Dumba/Bush

I don't love this lol.

Jarnkrok is better than Kunin.

Dumba isn't very good anymore.

Not sure why we're trading Liljegren and Robertson if we're getting nobody with term.

Rielly - Dumba pairing would be a disaster.

 

[sxvnert]

Rielly - Dumba pairing would be a disaster.

No more than a Rielly - Lyubushkin pairing. Might as well load up on tough D and shelter the crap out of Rielly.

I just realized the "out" part... Who the f*** are we trading Liljegren and Robertson for in this scenario

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

We are not drafting in 2025

 

[CatchyTune]

Sean Walker is one of the better dmen on the market.

What about our 1st and Timmins for Walker and Columbus' 2nd, which Philly owns? I dont know if theyd bite but we only move down 15-ish spots in the draft.

Imagining a bigger deal, where we somehow get both Walker and Laughton, for our 1st + Robertson + would be a dream

 

[TMLAM34]

No more than a Rielly - Lyubushkin pairing. Might as well load up on tough D and shelter the crap out of Rielly.

Lyubushkin is better defensively than Dumba. I wouldn’t mind Dumba on the third pair with Benoit to be honest but in terms of a fit with Rielly, Lyubushkin is better.

Walker to me is definitely pretty underrated. They are looking for a lot for him and the Flyers are in a playoff spot so it's hard to see them give him up, especially with a bunch of injuries they recently had.

Walker + Laughton would be something the Leafs would love I think. I don't know if the price would be good though.

 

[TMLAM34]

I was onboard for Walker pre Lyubushkin, but now not sure where he’d fit? Lyubushkin, Liljegren and McCabe on the right side. Rielly, Brodie and Benoit on the left. Unless you’re getting a clear cut upgrade like Hanifin to Brodie, don’t see any other moves on the backend until the off-season.

I'd call Boosh emergency depth... the clear upgrade is still a partner for Rielly... and then Boosh will be where he belongs, in the 7 spot.

 

[Avilaj07]

To Toronto-
Walker
Laughton 50% retained

To Philly-
1st Round Pick
Reaves
Jarnkrok
Minten

The fit is definitely not as dire. I would assume if everyone is healthy that Lyubushkin would be out of the lineup at that point, or rotating in and out with Liljegren or Benoit.


Rielly - Walker
McCabe - Brodie
Benoit - Liljegren
Giordano - Lyubushkin

 

[Mitch nylander]

I'd rock this if we stay status quo.

Knies - Matthews - Marner
Bertuzzi - Domi - Nylander
Jarnkrok- Tavares - Robertson
Holmberg/Mcmann - Kampf - Reaves
Gregor/Holmberg/McMann

Brodie - Liljegren
Rielly - Lyubushkin
McCabe - Benoit
Giordano

Woll
Sammy
Jones

If we make more moves:

Trade 1 - Noah Gregor to Colorado for 5th round pick + Riley Tufte

• Rational for both teams: Colorado is playing guys like Chris Wagner, Fredrik Olofsson and Joel Kiviranta on a nightly basis, moving there allows them to get a better bottom 6 forward with speed. Leafs recoup a pick, and at least get a call-up forward if injuries occur.

Trade 2 - Sean Walker to the Leafs for Connor Timmins + NYI's 3rd round pick + choice of Ty Voit/Nick Moldenhauer/Roni Hirvonen/Alex Steeves

• Rational for both teams: I'd add him to our top 4. Not sure if that leaves Lyubushkin out though. He's been excellent. Philadelphia, needs a PMD and Timmins offers that. They also get futures of their choice.

 

[rumman]

Dumba didn't look to bad

Nick Bjustad

Dumba sucks……

Can we get Sam carrick too? He's a badass

For a little dog he’s got both bark and bite, but not interested……..

 

[Judas Tavares]

Rielly - Walker
McCabe - Brodie
Benoit - Liljegren
Giordano - Lyubushkin

That's where I become a bit iffy about this trade. Why pay a 3rd and 6th for a 7th dman. That should be done with throwing over a 5th at most or something. It just becomes Rittich, Hutton and Nash all over again. Paying for depth/insurance to not play.

 

[CatchyTune]

Walker to me is definitely pretty underrated. They are looking for a lot for him and the Flyers are in a playoff spot so it's hard to see them give him up, especially with a bunch of injuries they recently had.

Walker + Laughton would be something the Leafs would love I think. I don't know if the price would be good though.

Price would be high but getting Laughton for 3 playoff runs would be great. 1st + Robertson +? I dont know how they value Laughton

I was onboard for Walker pre Lyubushkin, but now not sure where he’d fit? Lyubushkin, Liljegren and McCabe on the right side. Rielly, Brodie and Benoit on the left. Unless you’re getting a clear cut upgrade like Hanifin to Brodie, don’t see any other moves on the backend until the off-season.

I really dont think they stand pat with just acquiring Lyubushkin, especially since we got him double retained. Bush is a depth add, they should still add a top 4 guy

To Toronto-
Walker
Laughton 50% retained

To Philly-
1st Round Pick
Reaves
Jarnkrok
Minten

Getting Laughton at 50% for 2 more years plus Walker would cost way more than that
