Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Jimmy Firecracker]

A contract extension would also be great for us. Keep him away from Tampa, Florida, and Boston.

Super jealous of the way Vegas operates.

They use the CBA to the fullest extent and don't make excuses or whine about how hard it is too make trades.

 

[nuck]

wonder what they gave up to get him. What do they even have to give ?

They have their 1st this year and all their picks next

 

[aingefan]

To Toronto - David Savard (50% retained - 1.75M for 2 years) + Tanner Pearson (50% retained - 1.625M - UFA)

To Montreal - 2024 1st (Top-10 Protected)

To 3rd Team - 2024 4th rd. pick (Via Montreal for retention on Pearson)

I have a feeling this is the kind of idea Tre has when he mentions being “creative”.

I like the concept, but maybe not for Savard.

But I could see it.

Bruins would resuscitate Lindholm’s season. Bad enough Zacha cooked us, a rejuvenated Lindholm would basically guarantee a victory over us.

Hardly a stretch at all.

 

[aingefan]

Vegas is in a wild card spot. They likely won't slide out and that's a good add but I hope for them it works out.

Just yesterday on the fan, the hosts were talking about Vegas being on the outside looking in because they’re not playing hot.
They’re not giving up.

 

[Da Mash]

If we are trading with the Habs I rather take

Kovacevic​

Who is going to Gilloogy Tavares before Friday?

 

[All Mod Cons]

We are the f***ing toronto maple leafs yet we are constantly second tier, second tier GM second tier head coach, second tier everything ffs

I think it is because of the fact that we are the f***ing toronto maple leafs.

I mean we are still first rounder fodder. So does it really make much of a difference?

1C Eichel available? Get him
Top pair RD Pietrangelo available? Get him
Top line 2-way RW Stone available? Get him
An upgrade for our coaching position available? Get him

They just go for it man.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Still think the Leafs should’ve LTIR’d Muzzin in 2022. Could’ve added one more impact player. I don’t know who was available at the time but they shouldn’t have rushed to get him back for the regular season.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Love what Vegas is doing. Loading up thanks to LTIR shenanigans

Doesn't Tavares have a nagging injury?!?

Some teams just have a go getter mindset
Changes gm, coaches and players to keep improving their team

Gets the best possible coach. Best player available in Eichel last year. Best D available this year.

You wonder why they already went to the finals and won a championship

Who is going to Gilloogy Tavares before Friday?

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[All Mod Cons]

Super jealous of the way Vegas operates.

They also never worry about "doing right by the player".

Colorado and Vegas both are constantly focused on incremental improvement and don't get unnecessarily attached to guys or cripple their team with bad deals

Leafs are a joke
Can’t win anything and can’t make any moves

All these actual contenders have assets and cap room to make high end moves
Hahaha

The player is an employee that you agreed to pay money to for a specified amount of time, as long as your checks don't bounce, you can trade them when you want.

We're too afraid to trade Nylander, Tavares, Rielly, Marner etc

I'd trade any of them if we improve.

Yep, identify a big ticket item they want and then they pay to get them. No sitting on their hands.

To be fair, Vegas is only able to do this due to ltir

 

[Fonzieleaf]

That's why they get results and we don't.

 

[TheShape]

Dreger that hack is salty as all hell that Friedman has gotten ahead of him on the Vegas-Hanifin rumour.



Like you can't just tweet out "Vegas is on on everyone" with a week to go before the TDL and then take credit when a team known for making bold moves makes a move.

Dreger's a fraud, water is wet. He's nowhere near as connected as he makes himself out to be. I keep scrolling whenever I see his name.

Our companies will move on from us when need to. Everyone is replaceable. This thinking works in sports as well.
