GDT: Trades & Free Agency -- Off-season edition

Re Kampf

The issue is the Leafs already have to shelter the 4th line with Reaves being stuck to it, and if they move Kampf in the third line,.there goes the offense..

There's not really the room to build a shutdown line on this team. I like Kampf in isolation, but I have a hard time seeing a strong fit for him as part of this lineup. They likely need to bring in a new offensive orientated 3C instead

And I don't think the secondary support guys have earned the right to be untouchable outside of say Knies. The PK was trash, needs to be rebuilt.

I don't see Tre trading Kampf so soon though. Jarnkrok more likely to go plus guys like maybe Lily/Robertson/Timmins

I expect Reeves to have a renascence year, Berube will know exactly how to properly use Reeves..........

 

[trellaine201]

How much is Bertuzzi projected to make? Not more than last year right? Or maybe a slight raise?

Reaves after the injury was a beast. Berube likes having a aplyer like reaves in the 4th line.

He had Maroon on the 4th line the year he won the cup

The cap dump is because we're getting the most valuable asset in the deal (Dobson).

Don't care how high you value Marner ... compared to a 24 year old 6'4 RHD who hit 70 points and with his pedigree of success in every aspect of his hockey career so far, Dobson is easily more valuable than a wimpy winger with a muffin shot who disappears when it matters and who wants $12m a year for his disappearing act.

Pageau is the poison pill we'd have to take for the privilege of getting Dobson for what will be probably 8 years of his prime

So this is before July 1st. trade then?

You know Rielly had 72 points one season, along with 20 goals?

I wonder who else Calgary sells off. Keeping Weegar seems pointless. You could get a decent return of futures for him. A retained Mangiapane probably is attractive to some.

Kadri probably is pretty attractive too, and there are teams with C needs.

Huberdeau... that's kind of an ugly contract.

Backlund should attract some attention as well.

Let’s just clean em out lol.
Weegar, Kadri, Andersson, Backlund

Damn if San Jose is looking for vets and taking them as straight cap dumps, can we not give them Kampf or Jarnkrok?

I could see the Leafs having mild interest in Blackwood as a tandem goaltender to pair with Woll. Probably a a good partner to make a bit of a roster shake up.

If anyone is curious, the hypothetical of trading Marner and signing Jake. Would probably need to happen pre-July 1st. So we can offer Jake 8 year extension to maybe drop a 1m off the AAV.

Kampf and Jarnkrok ready made third line for a 2nd round pick?

Good athlete. Only downside is he’s from terrible NHL programs so who knows if that made him stronger or if it fried him.

I wonder what favour the NYR owe the Sharks?

Can’t believe the Sharks would do the Rangers a favour like that. Christ.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Rangers get lucky

 

[BertCorbeau]

Grier seems ripe for a fleecing

C’mon Tre

 

[Fogelhund]

2025 NHL trade deadline. Sharks trade Goodrow to Rangers @50%, for second round pick.

June 2025. NYR Waive Goodrow, Sharks claim.

2026 NHL trade deadline. Sharks trade Goodrow to Rangers @50% for second round pick.

#profit.

Jesus I thought Goodrow was a FA soon. I was thinking maybe they retain on him and get assets. But they have already 3 retained contracts.

If they’re looking for intangibles Tree needs to sell Grier on Kampf.

Goodrow also has 3 years left

 

[BertCorbeau]

Tre needs to dangle Jarnkrok to Dubas for Pittsburgh’s 2nd rounder

There is a fit there

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Hate it when great teams get free favours. The Leafs need to liquidate half a draft class to save cap on transactions

 

[4thline]

Underrated move for San Jose. They're going to try and avoid the perpetual rebuild trap and push hard from the bottom. They have oodles of cap for this an next year. Goodrow for free gives them a solid vet for no cost, and will be off the books when it comes time to start reupping guys. Goodrow types at UFA are likely to be more money and term, and will be harder to sell on gambling on the quick upswing.

Ya gotta set the tone
