Love Clifford, just a solid guy and a great pro. Wish we could rewind the clock a bit and put him with the Leafs.

 

[Budz]

I really wish we could move Rielly for Miller. Then take a run at a (retained) big name LD at the deadline.

 

[thusk]

We do need a right handed center

Leafs need a 3C so they will watch for every C available... In perfect world but if the best option value/price is a left handed center, you have to take him...

Bjugstad is big, fast and a right shot, we probably do need more team speed.

Laughton would be nice, I suspect the price is quite high though.

Bjusgtad for me should be a plan E at best...In case of every other better option don't working...

Rarely does it pay off in getting the "premium" trade deadline rental.

Depends on if you're filling a need long term or just filling it with a rental really

 

[Menzinger]

The Leafs have been linked to Laughton ever since Treliving took over. I also think he'd be a good fit. My only downside is that he's not a right shot but that's probably not a big concern.

I think the team interest even goes back to the Dubas era too (pretty sure Mirtle mentioned something along those lines in a podcast)

I'd wager he's the front runner of an acquisition, if he's indeed available

 

[Skullz]

If the Isles would retain on Pageau I’d have interest at the right price

I agree. He’s a solid player.

 

[SprDaVE]

man the Rangers are in it this season. Probably will get traded once the roster freeze is lifted

Flyers are technically 4 points out of the last wild card spot. But they have an -18 goal differential. They could go on a big streak but seems likely they keep rebuilding/retooling.

Not sure of the value so maybe it won't happen since many teams will be calling but he's also at the top of the list of my targets

I love Kreider as a player and he'd look good beside either of our top 6 centers but his age, cap hit and production drop off give me heart palpitations

You would have to think a first is the first thing they ask for, something we've already moved for this season

Rangers hit the red button and self destructed lol

 

[Namikaze Minato]

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

Definitely, the main difference of course being the extra season on the contract but injury concerns are massive with him.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I’d look long and hard at Kreider.. contract is a risk but Drury is unstable right now and good value could be had in a deal

 

[Amadeus]

Kreider has some back issues that seem are going to linger.

 

[Anthrax442]

Bring back Schenn

 

[Menzinger]

I think the Rags are definitely exploitable

 

[WTFMAN99]

Chytil would be perfect minus the concussion issues.

 

[ToneDog]

Chytil would be perfect minus the concussion issues.

Do you think the Rags will take Holmberg, Robertson and Kampf?

 

[thewave]

Do you think the Rags will take Holmberg, Robertson and Kampf?

You pull that off you become the president

 

[Stephen]

Kreider is too old and signed for too long (2027).

 

[thusk]

I have Gourde a top right now but yeah Pageau is kind of player i would like to see in leafs can find a way to get it done in term of $$$

 

[TMLAM34]

With the Wings doing bad, I wonder if a retained Copp would be of interest for 3C?

Very nice add especially if it’s cheap

 

[thusk]

At his cap hit... no and would be surprising detroit would retain for 2 and half season...
