Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 Season Edition

As much as I've ragged on Jarnkrok in this thread he'd 100% be better than the 0 goal, 0 assists after 6 games that Robertson has posted. It's sucks that a guy like him would probably be lucky to return us a 3rd round pick the way things have gone.

Even if he didn't, he does PK, which would take pressure off marner.

Every post game scrum I’ve seen this year Berube’s had nothing but praise for Robertson, last night was no exception…….

He could be, or he could be a 0-0-0 Jarnkrok too. Or perhaps 0-1-1. Robertson needs a good 20 games to get his NHL feet under him.

Yes, effort has been there.

He has scored before, and he'll score again.

He's had opportunity but no finish.

Too fast for the line he’s on imo, just like Styles. If JT and Patches is going to be a line they should get Clutterbuck or a similar type of player……..

 

[Minty Cowboy]

Brandon Tanev is in Seattle. Not utah

But speaking of the player, I agree I think Treliving would be interested in this guy at the deadline if Seattle is out of the picture. He's a UFA next off-season, so will be tons of interest for a player like him

Having his brother helps

Oops yup my bad LOL but yeah turbo would be great if Kraken decide to sell.

 

[rumman]

Had me for a couple seconds. Would be a solid get though.

Someone mentioned LA prospect Samuel Helenius as a trade target, big Finnish C with upside on a 800k deal for two remaining years. That’s a trade I’d like to see for Lilly, probably pick up a bittom draft pick too……..

Moving now depth, for a guy who probably will never play in the NHL, and if he does, it’s years away doesn’t seem productive.

 

[Menzinger]

Liljegren + Robertson to Chicago for Dickinson.

Salaries match.

Hawks get a young player with upside and a youngish depth defenseman who could use a change of scenery.

Leafs get a big middle-six center who hits and takes faceoffs. More offensive upside than Kampf, signed for 1 more year, but off to a slow start in 2024.

This is the type of trade I'd like to see happen..

Use those guys to tempt a bottom team to give up a vet middle six C

Doesn't work for Hawks for several reasons

- We dont need another depth dman and we already have logjam forming of young D that Liljegren would block further

- Hawks already have young player with upside struggling to find his game (Reichel) so adding another older struggling Robertson doesn't make sense

- Hawks lack C depth so trading away Dickinson makes no sense and he has been nothing but positive since joining team and has proven great to have around kids on roster

I'd expect a top 90 pick attached to that kind of deal but I think we're heading towards something like that. Liljegren isn't even playing and I doubt that changes anytime soon. Hakanpaa will be ready at some point, Myers hasn't played and Rifai showed to be capable. Something has to give and I don't think value will be all that great with whatever happens.

If the Leafs can get a young project that can go to the Marlies without waivers, a pick and opening 3M of cap space, it could be ok. In hindsight, the Leafs needed to be a lot more pro-active in the off-season to avoid the inevitable.

Berube isn't even using his depth on D even on back to backs. Depth is only useful if you use it. They should just move Lilly now before Berube lowers his value even more

If your expecting a big return for a overpaid underperforming fringe D man well, good luck with that………

I'm sure Tre would love to move him but the humiliation of adding a pick to get it done is what's stopping him.

 

[LaPlante94]

We need to get a C who can win some faceoffs, especially for the 4th line.. As a team we're around 50% and Kampf and Holmberg need to be better than 48% when they are relied on the PK. Tavares too if he's gonna be the one taking faceoffs on the PP.

 

[I am Canadian]

That Jake Neighbors contract (2x3.75M) is probably a decent comparable for Knies. Would love a 3x4M bridge deal for Knies. Gives more flexibility for a potential cup run

 

[Malachi Crunch]

I made that proposal, but it also included Kaliev. Kaliev and Helenius for Lily.

Good start for Helenius so far. 3 games, 2 goals!

Sorry for not mentioning you in my post, memory is going to the dogs, I still like your idea of Helenius………

I imagine that is what we will see (i.e., a bridge deal). It won't make sense for Knies to sign a long-term deal.

 

[Folignos Helmet]

For Knies, Button had a good comparable for once - the Lundell deal. Different players and role but similar level of impact. He got 6 years at 5 million.

For a C target, Ryan Strome would be a nice add. Right shot C. This year and next left at 5 million. Local guy. Decent size. Could slot in between Domi and Nylander if that line stops clicking or you could put him at 3C and slide JT to the wing.

No idea what Anaheim would want but they also have Terry, Carlson, McTavish and Lundestrom up the middle long term and at Stromes age he won’t be part of their success.

 

[SprDaVE]

I think we're heading towards a Liljegren to Utah smoke show. I'd take our 2nd round pick back straight up at this rate. I would also ask about Soderstrom and/or Curtis Douglas.

I know the Leafs would never do it, but value-wise, who is the best center we could get for Cowan + Robertson?

Where would you play this center?

Matthews
Domi
Tavares
?

If you are putting Cowan into this, then you need to be getting a bonafide 2C back, and putting him in Domi’s space.

It would need to be a young established 2C, or as close to a blue chip as you can get.

Cowan is our best prospect and not one to be used lightly in a trade.
