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

[ULF_55]

I’d be happy with both, however Z isn’t worth 6mil, not now, not ever…….

Just like Bertuzzi wasn't worth 5.5mm last year.

We know they are going to Reaves another player this year.
Most will groan, and accept it is part of the Supply and Demand issue.

 

[darrylsittler27]

If they use $6mm on Tanev, they can't use $6mm on a long term solution.

You assume all our options will come here. If all we can do is Zadorov on a 5 to 6 yr and Tanev on a 1 year it's still improving. I doubt we sign 3 defenseman. Every team with cap will be looking. Toronto won't be everyone's first choice. Look at Hannifin. We have to hope we get 2 out of this year's.

I'd rather Debrusk but he likely will stay away.

I'll take that bet all day.

5-5.25M is the max

He likely prefers term.

Some GM will make him bank, just watch.

I assume nothing.

I hope he can encourage a defender for the top 3 spots to sign, and yes would pay the cost for that one.

They really don't have cap space to sign 2 good defenders. They can sign maybe one good defender and one depth defender.

"For people wanting player x, this happened in a game once, today".

Please tell me you're taking a piss with this

He's an average starter is how I see him. He's tied for 13th-16th of 24 goalies since his rookie season for save % (minimum 200 games played).

If you exclude his really hot rookie season that he's never come close to replicating, he's 12th of 14 goalies (again, 200+ games played). Expand that a bit to 175+ games played, and he's 17th of 24.

So he'd certainly provide more stability than Campbell/Samsonov, but I wouldn't say he's likely to contend for a Conn Smyth if we were to actually go deep with him.

 

[Americanadian]

Assuming Marc Savard comes in, I was looking at who he coached in his 2 years at Windsor. He had Shane Wright last year. Possible connection there if Marner/Seattle is a match.

I'd expect Lily and Timmins to be gone by the draft. They should have enough cap for 2ish top four guys depending on the salary. And then there's the bottom pairing and #7.

Also stuff depends on what they do with Boosh and Edmundson

I’d be happy with both, however Z isn’t worth 6mil, not now, not ever…….

I wouldn't pay him that either. But Im expecting Tre to make an aggressive pitch for him, based on the Calgary connection+ the attempt to trade for him earlier mid season. Same with Tanev.

Just need to hope the salary doesn't get too wild

Markstrom on retention because it's a 2 year bridge for our young 3 goalies.

 

[LeafChief]

We seem to have quite a few prospects needing room on the wings. I wonder if instead of trying to re-sign Bertuzzi, Treliving shifts his attention to Monahan to solidify the middle of the ice.

Our need at C is far higher than another expensive winger.

 

[Kurtz]

I don't think Tanev leaves Dallas - he's been a great fit there.

Sean Monahan is a centre and the two players will likely receive similar contracts.

I don't want either at $5.5 . We need to spend more widely.

Didn't Tre dump Monahan his last year in CGY?

 

[Kurtz]

Didn't Tre dump Monahan his last year in CGY?

I think the consensus back then was that Monahan's career was finished due to injury so it was a cap move to free up money for Kadri.

 

[notdoneyet]

Marner was also crap...and is still crap without Hyman...maybe the problem is Marner because Hyman is certainly thriving somewhere else.

The problem we had with Hyman is we only used him as the crash and bang winger that got the puck to matthews or marner. In Edmonton they have a guy that carries the puck and all he has to do is go to the net for a pass or a rebound chance.

1 x 1m over the hill bandaid brigade it is.

How? Aren't they trying to get a new starting goaltender plus resign Domi and Bertuzzi

That's a fair chunk of cash right there and I'm still not sure guys have even been asked to waive let alone agreed to it

I've seen a few lineup scenarios where they end up having more cash to play with than some think. Brodie + Klingberg is essentially enough for a couple top 4 guys or close to it.

If Tre really revamps the supporting cast, and guys like Kampf, Jarnkrok are moved there's more money.

I also won't be surprised if they end up going cheap on goaltending. Get a vet 1B for a tandem for a couple years. Though I keep hearing contradictory things.

And obviously a muh different ballgame if a core piece is moved too, which resets all salary structure predictions

GMs often bring in former players, and Monahan is from the GTA. Largely depends on if Treliving and Monahan had a good relationship, but yea, he'd be a good fit with Tavares on the decline and potentially gone in a year.

 

[Gabriel426]

Better depth? Have you seen Edmonton's lineup? Their bottom six is worse than Toronto's.

But Oilers top guys show up in the playoffs

 

[rumman]

Just like Bertuzzi wasn't worth 5.5mm last year.

We know they are going to Reaves another player this year.

I’d rather they set a new precedence and begin to not overpay players both in dollars and term. The great Johnny Bucyk used to like to sign one year deals, he stated it kept him honest, good times way back when………

 

[TMLife17]

Marner for Andersson and Markstrom with some retention

Who adds and how much?

He was also putrid in the shoot-out. We need better goal tending than that for sure !!!
