Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 Season Edition

Knies?

I get what he’s saying though regardless there’s a huge gap from Matthews to Knies

Was Benoit a benefactor of McCabe's good play, just like Holl as with Muzzin before him?

If we move on from Robertson and Holmberg... here is the list of skaters on the Leafs we've drafted.

Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Rielly.

That's an epic failure.

Championship seasons:


"Of the 22 players to play at least one postseason game, 10 were signed in free agency, eight were acquired via trade, three were selected by Florida in the NHL Draft, and one was claimed on waivers."

"Of the 23 to play at least one postseason game, 11 were acquired via trade, six were selected by Colorado in the NHL Draft, five were signed in free agency and one was acquired via waivers."

Of the 24 players to play at least one postseason game, 12 were acquired via trade, six were signed in free agency, four were selected by Vegas in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, one was selected in the NHL Draft, and one was claimed off waivers.

I don't see the problem personally.

Just looking at the free agent class in the coming years and the Leafs asset pool… they should have been more proactive in getting a 2C and another top-4 defenseman.

There’s nothing in free agency and they maybe have the assets to get one but they would have to move Cowan ++

Maybe if they were closer to winning the whole thing, than hoping they make it past the first round again would they move Cowan.

Knies but yes, it still sucks in the draft and development department
