Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 Season Edition

I’d honestly rather him if we’re able to afford him anyway

Like-wise. 1st 2026, cowan is probably a starter and I would still be ok adding.

As for a center, idk, a gut feeling but if Bennet gets to UFA i bet Tre is all over that.All that would cost is cap. I'd rather spend assets for a legit partner for Rielly...again (if Tre is not gonna move on from him, that is).

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

I don't see an available centre that's a good fit for us if we don't want to move Cowan.

I think we need to look at a buyer's regret guy some team might want to dump, but who we believe we can rehabilitate.

Kadri has been mentioned, but I don't think he's the right fit. Maybe a Chandler Stephenson at 7 × $6.25 or maybe the Bruins want to get out from Lindholm's deal of 7 × $7.5 million.

No to Stephenson I’d take flames captain though

 

[Gabriel426]

the JT-Nylander-Marner- Knies-Riwelly unit worked pretty well when Matthews was hurt

Why not try to create something else with Matthews alongside exeemple domi- OEL- Pacioretty- Robertson

That would hurt our Capt’s feeling

 

[arso40]

A 1st Cowan niemela for dobson? Money going the other way to make it work of course

 

[Knies iT]

Giving up Danford seems like an acceptable price for doing business if that means we keep Cowan and Minten.

Considering the average age of our top 4 D, and my lack of confidence in any D prospect in this system outside of Danford, I’d suggest he be off limits.

Off limits? I think they’re all on the table for the right price

Why would the Islanders trade Dobson RFA 4 mil 6'4" 200 lbs
13 goals 50 point average
Points last season hand 70
24 min a night
You won't get him for that package

 

[horner]

Right now our best player had been hurt all seasoning the playoffs last year.
Unless he is healthy our offense takes a huge hit.
Our goaltenders have been great when healthy?
Cowen Minten and Danford should be of limits
Would not be giving up the farm this yr

People taking about trading for Nielsen he was invisible last night.

your right lol I wouldn’t do it either

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Lindholm sucks

That's why he'd be available.

 

[TheShape]

I'd be all over Trocheck if NYR keep spiraling. Solves our 2C issue for next season, the player has a NMC but that doesn't seem to stop Drury. Very reasonable cap hit also.

Gourde... Will not cost a cowen and fit perfectly well in berube system

working hard on forecheck, pretty hard to play against, team player who will do everything he could/ pay the price to win.

hes not the more spectacular player but what you need is the best complementary piece for what you're team need. I said the same thing about Tanev and OEL signing last off-season, i loved both sign because theyr bring exactly what leafs needed in the defensive end.

Gourde can be that guy as 3C and an amaizing complementary for guy like nylander or marner

 

[LeafSteel]

If what is happening in Vancouver is to be believed, would love to snag JT Miller.

Love the guys fire and compete and would be a great 2C.

Entirely price dependent and wishing that he was younger than 31 years of course.
Thoughts?

The NMC did stop him. He waited until Trina expired

Why does his current team not value that? Because he's the league's new Avery in the clubhouse, a franchise killer.

Come on, he's an ass you stay far away from. Nothing good about him. Our management team is smart enough to stay far away from this clown.

 

[aingefan]

That's why he'd be available.

The contract ended up abit ludicrous, but I’m still pretty confident he’s the perfect C for Willy.

Pretty strong take on a dynamic that no one outside of the team knows is going on.


Where are you getting the Avery comparison from?

Sometimes teammates just don’t get along. I’m sure Vancouver will do everything to placate and keep both, but if not someone may be available between the two.

I would be interested in either but think it would be Miller that may be made available.

I don’t think either moved but it’s an interesting scenario at least.

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Hopefully Tre is calling around and finding pieces with more than just this season on their contract.

Boone Jenner would be an interesting pick up if CBJ made him available when he returns from injury.

Gm calling for every player making sense for their team... Doesn't mean their are available/ player want to kove in Toronroor the price reasonable to make it done.

If exemple the price for Jenner is Cowan + a 1st... maybe a rental player like becoming a better option

Player with term doesn't mean better option

 

[Menzinger]

Giving up Danford seems like an acceptable price for doing business if that means we keep Cowan and Minten.

Those two are close to untouchable for me. Every other prospect/future should be on the table though

Jenner has had lots of injuries .. if healthy he’d be stellar but he could be another Foligno

exavtly... Toronto are not desesperate this season to bring in anything... They just can wait and see what available at right price and make the move.

 

[Menzinger]

Top prospects are rarely, if ever traded for rentals, so I'm not sure where the idea that the Leafs would need to give up Cowan is coming from regardless

Have to think teams would be lining up to acquire Miller. The cost would be high.
