Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 - Deadline-ageddon

[Fogelhund]

The Leafs' main competition has lost one of its best players likely until next season.

False. Everyone, except you and your terrible predictions record, is saying for the Regular season. Tkachuk will be back for the playoffs.

 

[VanW27]

Nope. He would be a great add.

The issue with McCann is his greatest value comes as a shooter on the RW halfwall on the PP. We don't have space for him there

 

[Sypher04]

It's depressing seeing teams with smart management make shrewd adds

If Friday comes and goes and we haven’t answered sure, but right now everyone should collectively step away from the ledge.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Personally i'd be going for McBain & Tolvanen plus maybe Tanev.....three guys that will give Florida or Tampa Bay a hard time.....and there all young besides obviously Tanev.

These three players retained would cost us 5M + 4.5M from C.Tanev

McBain

For

Domi
Reaves
Hirvonen
3rd round pick


Tolvanen(50% retained)

For

Jarnkrok
Timmins
Niemela
Kampf
1st round pick


Tanev(50% retained)

For

Dewar
5th round pick


Murphy(50% retained)

For

Knies-Matthews-Marner
Tolvanen-Tavares-Nylander
McMann-McBain-Steeves
Robertson-Lorentz-Tanev
Holmberg-Pacioretty

Rielly-Murphy
McCabe-Tanev
Ekmam-Larsson-Hakanpaa
Benoit

What do you think Utah, Seattle and especially Chicago say?

Treliving has been GM for almost 2 years and hasn't made a single trade of significance

I'm not holding my breath that he starts now

 

[tony135420]

Our biggest Atlantic rivals are loading up. Does that put pressure on Tre?

I don't think Tre cares. If you look at his trade history, not alot of TDL movement. My hopes are low we make any significant add. My guess is the obligatory bottom 6 add.

 

[Torontonian]

I just don't understand the hesitation to trade "top" prospects or 1st round picks. The way these picks and prospects are untouchable, you would think they would be the next Makar or Kucherov etc.

Lot's of Tampa fans are assuming its Geekie going back the other way for Bjorkstrand and Gorude.

 

[Fogelhund]

What do you think Utah, Seattle and especially Chicago say?

Maybe it's time to start ignoring these trade posts of his. No idea of value, and just wants to argue it, to justify it after.

someone give me the toronto version of this deal, pls and thanks. Have no idea how good Geekie is other than he's a former top player

 

[OVO16]

If Brayden Schenn is off the table and Gourde is off to Tampa Bay...that really just leaves Scott Laughton as the best Center on the market.

I'm not counting Brock Nelson because Lou is gonna Lou

Schenn
Laughton
Gourde

That was the order in which I think the leafs had interest in.

Minten probably is the closest we have to a Geekie? He has better draft pedigree but since turning pro they have similar stats. Basically 20 year old projected to be mid/low line centers.

I would have thought with only Gourde retention, no.

With both getting retained to varying degrees, yeah that is a conversation now.

I have often wished I could unload a garbage truck in exchange for a brinks full of gold.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Tre is so scared to make trades lol.
We need a big deadline like that one year dubas had with ROR, McCabe, Schenn, Lafferty, Acciari

 

[ULF_55]

I mean if you want to go down that route, what happened the many years before that when he was healthy?

He was the team's 2nd. leading goal scorer over the past 5 years in the playoffs.

They need that player to have much of a chance.

 

[Evilhomer]

False. Everyone, except you and your terrible predictions record, is saying for the Regular season. Tkachuk will be back for the playoffs.

Obviously it's just my opinion, but I think the next time we see Tkachuk in a game will be Florida's first elimination game, and he'll play 7 minutes and barely be able to skate.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Two biggest threats the Florida teams have both added massively now at the TDL. Brad sits on his hands. This team...

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Florida and Tampa absolutely stacked. Let’s make some magic happen Tre

 

[Evilhomer]

If Brayden Schenn is off the table and Gourde is off to Tampa Bay...that really just leaves Scott Laughton as the best Center on the market.

I'm not counting Brock Nelson because Lou is gonna Lou

Schenn
Laughton
Gourde

That was the order in which I think the leafs had interest in.

I fully expect to see a tweet from the Islanders announcing a new contract for Nelson.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

 

[BertCorbeau]

Two 1sts? K.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I wouldn't let what other teams do dictate a desperation move personally.

 

[SprDaVE]

Two 1sts? K.

Bjorkstrand is very underrated. I'm going to assume retention will play apart in this since he's got another year left at 5.4M.

It's definitely a lot though. But the Lightning understand they are in a position they can take over the East.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Two 1sts? K.

If Gourde and Bjorkstrand are both 50% retained, it's something.

Hedman, McDonagh, Vas and Kucherov are not getting younger.

 

[Evilhomer]

Has Tampa actually done anything?
