Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[mydnyte]

I need someone to explain to me why St. Louis is taking Brodie for the sake of a late first round pick and a tweener prospect. Why do they have to trade him now?

he's an expiring contract that frees up 6.5 mil over the next half decade and can still be flipped for more assets or play out the season
pretty simple as to why actually

Why would Parayko NOT waive his NTC is my question.

I would imagine for the same reasons anyone does - he likes living where he is. It's not like he's playing for the Arizona Coyotes.

Listening to the latest Leafs Report podcast today,

CJ mentions Leafs ideally wanting to add two D and a forward (likely a centre). Says the market is 'strange' and we may very well see the Leafs waiting until 259pm tomorrow to make their last deal as they wait for sellers to come down. In past had suggested Brodie may be on way out for cap room

Mirtle says he's heard internally some in the organization have been frustrated Lily and his development arch so far

Edit: CJ also seems skeptical about Lily's future with the team. Mentions new GM not having connections with these players. Though he mentions he's unclear what his actual value is.

 

[WTFMAN99]

He's lived his entire adult life in St. Louis, and not very long ago signed a long-term contract to stay there. He isn't a kid anymore, and I have no idea if he has a wife and/or kids, but he's from the West and has no connection to Toronto. I just don't see the draw for him.

McCabe waived, he had 2 more years on his contract and isn't even Canadian.

Not convinced he wouldn't waive.

I get it, but what pressure is St. Louis under to do this now? I think these deals generally get done in the off-season or at the draft when there are more teams with available cap space. Anyway, we'll see what happens. I think Toronto is just going to add a depth forward.

It's over if they get Guentzel.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Trenin and Duhaime joining the Avalanche, gritty group.

 

[Torontonian]

Trenin and Duhaime joining the Avalanche, gritty group.

Avalanche target grit, "an organization that knows what there doing". Toronto targets two gritty dman that will help the PK and stop the cycle "WASTE OF ASSESTS!!"

 

[mydnyte]

Wonder if Brodie would go back to Calgary?

if that was an option, he'd have Zadorov, or Tanev or both

 

[WTFMAN99]

Were Lybushkin and Edmundson notable PK guys? I think they play the playoff style game you need, just didn't know they PKd all that well.

I think if Toronto can get a top end RD then those 2 additions look even better.

If he adds Dumba it's a mound of crap lol.

 

[Amadeus]

It's over if they get Guentzel.

Not really. Any team is beatable.

 

[mydnyte]

And I would ask, why not?

Familiarity with Rielly and Matthews from young NA team

We're a good team.

When has a player declined to waive for Toronto?

cant remember the name... a Habs player declined a move to Toronto a few years back, claiming, he couldnt imagine playing for Toronto after so many years of hating them

Look at the age, production and injury history of Trenin & Duhaime. They're currently good players that fill their role nicely and trending upward. Edmundson has been ridden hard and put away wet. Not that he is the oldest guy, but his back is forked and he hasn't been serviceable in quite some time. I'm not convinced he'd thrive on this team. I think Trenin & /or Duhaime would have been much better adds in a bang for buck sense.

Good question.

Maybe his partner is from St. Louis and he has no intention of waiving.

But, if your team asks you to waive it means they really like you and want to keep you?

why is this organization so hell-bent on getting rid of Lilly? so dumb. I can understand trading him to facilitate a trade for a dman like Parayko but why get rid of a young promising D for no reason. players sometimes take time to develop. I don't get these "frustrations".

The Blues are about to hit a rebuild or a reset. If he wants to stick around for that that’s his right. Not many guys decline waiving for the Leafs though

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

So I'm guessing as of now it goes:

Rielly-Boosh
Brodie-Edmonson
Benoit-McCabe

 

[Commander Clueless]

Shoot, was kind of hoping we could snag Trenin.

 

[rumman]

His NTC doesn’t come in to effect until 2028

I did not know that……..

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Trenin and Duhaime joining the Avalanche, gritty group.

Think I would have rather spent the 3rd+5th on Trenin instead of Edmundson

 

[rumman]

No, his NTC is until 2027-2028, then in 2028+ a M-NTC kicks in.

Sounded too good to be true, darn…….

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Not really. Any team is beatable.

Of course, it's hockey.

But I don't think any other team (minus Colorado) would match up against Vegas with Guentzel + Hanifin + a healthy Stone on top of what's already there.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Go get Parayko, make this the biggest D group we've ever had. Make it damn hard for Boston or Florida to get in front of the net.

Rielly Parayko
Benoit McCabe
Edmundson Lybushkin

Rielly Parayko
Benoit McCabe
Edmundson Lybushkin

that group is filled with too many poor - average skaters
