Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 Season Edition

[LaPlante94]

Edmonton might be calling about Lilli tonight. Edmonton looked bad defensively during the pre season and I guess we'll see if that continues this game.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Robertson + Liljegren for Moore + mid round pick/Phillips

Chicago isn't trading Moore

 

[LaPlante94]

Update: Trade might get finished after this 2nd period is over.

At this rate, they might also call about Murray. They do love to pick up former Leafs.

They got a 2nd round pick and all their picks next year. Get as many as they can.

Lily + decent prospect for Sacha Boisvert

 

[Warden of the North]

Why the f*** did we sign Liljegren to that contract?

I think Tre has done some good things. But holy Moses does he do some really perplexing things. The only bright side is it's not crippling.

 

[OVO16]

The kings could use a RD no? With Doughty out 3-4 months?

Surprisingly enough, they also in the market for a 4th line center. Kampf is not needed on this team

Kampf + Liljegren for picks would be great for both teams

Wasn't it done to avoid arbitration where he would have received around that amount?

They should have just moved on from him in the summer.

 

[ACC1224]

They should have just moved on from him in the summer.

Agreed.
Perhaps they wanted to give Berube a chance with him before moving on?

This was handled so unbelievably poorly that it's infuriating

They essentially lit 3 million on fire by signing Lilly knowing he wasn't going to be given a real opportunity here. That extra 3 million could've been used in a variety of ways such as offering Matt Roy more money, or also moving off someone like Jarnkrok and giving the 5+ million to a middle 6 forward such as DeBrusk

Now it's going to league minimum guys who are a dime a dozen. I cannot understand the logic

Full agreement from me. baffling.

Oof.
This doesn’t seem smart.
There’s always a chance to get equal or better value, find a decent deal, but overall….dumb.
I support the team first, but this one’s filed under ‘wait n see’

 

[Warden of the North]

Like, it won't surprise me at all if Liljegren is waived at the start of next season by whatever team acquires him.

He's a bottom of the roster player with the constitution of melting butter

Liljegren may not be a fit on this team but he’s still an NHL player.

No idea why the Leafs are tanking his value. Timmins is not better than Liljegren and he’ll probably be injured most of the season anyways. Treliving will then overpay for a mediocre defenceman at the deadline.

They need to play him and get his value up then package him for a top-4 defenceman that fits.

Is he?

Other teams thought Engvall and Holl were NHL players but boy were they wrong.

He’s shown flashes and I think there’s something more there. There was a period last season when Rielly was out where I thought he looked great.

I still think Engvall is an NHL player but just overpaid in both term and AAV.

No comment on Holl…

 

[BertCorbeau]

No sense in trading Lil until Timmins really cements himself... if he can

Media gonna rumourmonger

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Marner* + Liljegren + Kampf for Nurse + RNH
*Extended

Assuming Marner would waive to go to Edmonton.

RNH and Marner look so much alike the Leafs can just give RNH #16. The casual fan wouldn't even notice Marner was gone. I like Nurse and think he would do well under Berube.

Leafs lineups:

Knies/Matthews/Nylander
Robertson/RNH/Domi
Pacioretty/Tavares/Jarnkrok
McMann/Holmberg/Lorentz

Rielly/Nurse
McCabe/Tanev
OEL/Benoit

Hildeby
Stolarz
Woll
Murray

Hildeby will be starter for the playoffs due to injuries to Woll & Murray and Stolarz only proves capable of being the backup he always has been his entire NHL career.
