Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[ULF_55]

Florida and Tampa are after the big dogs it seems
Tarasenko is a very physical player. FLorida already a physical team. That's a good mix

Hanifin with Tampa can be deadly.



Depends who the leafs are going after. If they are going after anyone big at all
Most will want that 1st. Then a prospect that's NHL ready or playing in NHL

Again if we are going after someone big. I dont' think we are going after anyone big

Leafs Cap isn't conducive for going after anyone big.

NTC/NMC for any contract greater than 1.5mm.

At least they're top 3rd. in the league, so some value for all that money.

...

Common Trades.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Mid round picks apparently, that is a good deal

Tank did well as a rental last year

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Tarasenko to Florida confirmed. Done deal

The rich get richer. Great.

I don't love that move for Florida.

They needed RW help as a couple of players were playing their off-wing. I like the move for them

Common Trades.

Florida has less cap space than us. All of the good teams are strapped except for LTIR-Vegas

 

[Torontonian]

We need a first line winger so badly. As good as Knies can be potentially, hes' not ready for 1st line duties

THey have to pick up a depth scoring winger

My thought exact, you could put him on the first line and shift everyone down.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

CJ was saying that the price of forwards is very low this year.

 

[BertCorbeau]

A 3rd and a condition 4th with 50% retentjon

Tank must have leveraged that NTC hard.

4th becomes a 3rd if Florida wins the cup

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

 

[SprDaVE]

That's an insanely good deal for Florida.

 

[Rude Dog]

If Toronto was trading for Jensen wouldn't mind adding Patches to the deal for some forward depth.

Patches also rumoured to be heading to Fla.

 

[weems]

Tarasenko has 15 even strength goals thru 57 games.

That's pretty decent and better than I thought he was doing.

 

[Dekes For Days]

There are plenty of 3rd pair defensemen around the league taken all throughout the draft.

There are a grand total of 13 defensemen in the league that:
-are 6'2" 200 lbs or taller/heavier
-were drafted 20th overall or later since 2015
-have played at least half of the games this season for the team that drafted them

Occasionally, big body projects work out. Usually they don't, or they take so long that the drafting team doesn't benefit anyway. The big bodied projects we drafted didn't work out, but it's not for a lack of trying. And in the end, we've still had big bodied 3rd pairing defensemen pretty much every year, so I'm not really sure why it's a big deal.

 

[Kurtz]

A 3rd and a 4th for a good middle-six winger with 50% retention?

Jeez, we should trade more with Ottawa, those guys are lost. No wonder the highlight of their season was an empty-net clapper.

 

[Evilhomer]

Depth scoring. I think it's a great move.
Tarasenko not the player he used to be but still decent

I don't think he will add much scoring in the role they will put him in, and he is a net negative in every other aspect of the game.

 

[darrylsittler27]

We need a defender who can play top 4. Florida just got better. The only way this team gets past 2 rounds is if everything goes their way.

 

[Evilhomer]

A 3rd and a 4th for a good middle-six winger with 50% retention?

Jeez, we should trade more with Ottawa, those guys are lost. No wonder the highlight of their season was an empty-net clapper.

I look at it the other way around. The fact that it took so little to acquire Tarasenko, even with 50% retention, tells me that he was not a valued commodity.

 

[Zybalto]

Tarasenko had full NTC and had some control right?

He's a defensive liability but can still shoot the puck and Florida has the defensive forwards to cover his weaknesses. Good pickup for them.

 

[ULF_55]

Florida has less cap space than us. All of the good teams are strapped except for LTIR-Vegas

Certainly, but the Panthers are the better team.

As I said, Leafs are top 3rd. in the league, but hardly a contender.

 

[Zybalto]

Lets see if Tre has the stones to make a splash.

Chychrun or Parayko can be had......

 

[Kurtz]

He's a defensive liability but can still shoot the puck and Florida has the defensive forwards to cover his weaknesses. Good pickup for them.

Ottawa fans (yes, I'm as surprised as you are that they still have some) are saying that he's played a very responsible defensive game this year.

 

[Menzinger]

A decent move.for Florida, though Tarasenko being nowhere near the player he used to be.

 

[Zybalto]

Ottawa fans (yes, I'm as surprised as you are that they still have some) are saying that he's played a very responsible defensive game this year.

Maybe so slow hes always behind the play and it looks like he's back on D?

I havnt watched all that much of him outside of Leafs games TBH but those that track his numbers say he's awful.

 

[Menzinger]

If Parayko...

How does TOR make the money work now and in the near future?

I am not saying it's impossible, but if we acquire him it will be more of the same: filling in with players on the margins.

It's not that hard, basically just swapping out Brodie and him in which covers most of it.

 

[Zybalto]

Athletic numbers:

Offensive percentile: 77%
Defensive percentile: 2%

Market Value: 3.9 million

 

[Dekes For Days]

Wow, surprised that Tarasenko went for so little.
