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

[dubplatepressure]

I asked on a Sabres thread.. they'd like a 4th for Krebs. You get a real C for cheap, he's under control for years, $1.45 mil for this and next year, then RFA. 24 years old, good in the dot, has some physicality... I mean, screw this 1st + Cowan for Schenn stuff... a 4th is nothing to take a gamble on a young kid, who likely ends up being better out of Buffalo. Assuming Buffalo the org, values him the same as fans. Worst case scenario, is he's just a 4C... and cheaper than Kampf for next year, so you move Kampf, save some money for years. Best case, he blossoms into a 3C or better... he was 2ppg in his last year in the WHL, 8 points in 7 games for Canada at WJC... I think there is more there... but if the cost is just a 4th... I mean man, that's an easy yes.

Hint: its not.

 

[The Shadow]

To Toronto: Scott Laughton (50% retained) + Tyson Foerster
To Philadelphia: Simon Benoit + Nikita Grebenkin + 2026 1st Rounder

To Toronto: 2026 5th Rounder
To New Jersey: David Kampf

To Toronto: Brandon Carlo
To Boston: Nick Robertson + Ben Danford + 2025 2nd Rounder



Knies - Matthews - Marner
McMann - Tavares - Nylander
Domi - Laughton - Foerster
Lorentz - Holmberg - Jarnkrok

Rielly - Carlo
McCabe - Tanev
Ekman Larsson - Timmins

Holmberg is not a Center

You severely under value a 1st rounder in a deep 2026 draft. In addition if Tavares and marner leave that pick could be closer to top 10. Stop trading 1sts

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Feels like the latter? How the hell would you know?

He is a new Dad so is dealing with family, and everyone goes through down periods in which they don't perform their best.

I don’t know, hence why I said it feels like, and not speaking in absolutes.

How did I come to that conclusion? Watching the guy play like a sack of shit all season.

Everyone goes through down periods, sure. But you’re our #1 D and getting paid like it in a do or die season. Get your act together.

Everyone has kids at some point too, could not care less.

If Tre isn't working on a blockbuster then I hope the entire management group is fired this summer.

Whats the definition of blockbuster and why does it have to be now?

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

That Dumolin trade did not come close to quenching my need for common trades

 

[SprDaVE]

Panthers pick up Nico Sturm for a 4th.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

 

[Hotpot]

Gadjovich, Bennett, Sturm - Florida takes all the players that I thought the Leafs should've gotten

 

[Evilhomer]

Everyone has kids at some point too, could not care less.

Especially having one kid on a $7 million salary. It's a same I can't find my violin.

 

[hullsy47]

Marner is not being dealt for Rantanen

If we somehow get Rantanen, it's going to be a monsters future package + maybe someone like McMann

Carolina wants knies minten and noah chadwick

 

[SprDaVE]

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

 

[Rare Jewel]

One more lefty, just to make sure...

Probably Tampa. lol

 

[Menzinger]

I'd still love to get him at 50% off

 

[The Podium]

10 team NTC, I'd imagine playing at home with his brother would be attractive

At 50% or 75% retention would look good on the 4th line.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

I remember Marco Sturm from like 15 years ago

 

[Hotpot]

At this point, I think I'm just waiting for Florida to get Rantanen, so I'm not disappointed that Brad does nothing at the trade deadline

 

[Legion34]

With what possible assets?
Why would Carolina trade him to any east team.
Especially ones like Toronto/florida with nothing to trade really.

He’s not going for ufa like ekblad/bennet.
They have no futures.

It only makes sense if the Leafs can plug other holes. If that's all they can muster... yeesh.

Lundell for Rantanen

 

[X66]

10 Million on Kampf, Domi, Reaves, Benoit and Dewar.

Smh

 

[Fogelhund]

Zamula would be a good partner for a Chychrun, or Karlsson type RD. I'd love to get a Right handed version of Zamula though.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Welcome to Toronto, Brandon.

You play C now, just FYI.

 

[Hotpot]

Lundell for Rantanen

Or like 3 1sts. Trading Lundell would be bad for team chemistry since there are so many Finnish player on the Panthers
