Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 - Trade Deadline Approaches

[LeafChief]

We should get a separate thread set up for Dekes and Dreakmur.

Treliving won't want to take anyone off the roster other than guys like Robertson or Holmberg, so I think the more likely outcome is that he trades for guys in the mold of B Schenn, Gourde, etc., where the price will be a lower end prospect and a draft pick.

We’re in every thread!

If the price for Schenn is low, that’s an obvious target.

The complication for the Leafs is that I would imagine they would want St. Louis, or a third team, to retain on Schenn's salary, which will cost additional assets.

For now ...

Rielly is expendable and should be moved for a Knies replacement if you get Dobson. Alas might be asking too much of Tre to do before the TDL.

NMC aside, I'd have to know what that looks like but I'm hesitant to agree off the top. The Maple Leafs are not in a strong position to remove playoff players from the lineup, regardless of early season hiccups.

Given our history, we should keep the things that work, and delete the things that don't. That goes for Keefe (gone), Domi, Reavo (money immaterial), Woll, our D build, prioritizing Matty and Willy goals, etc.

We have to make sure we go forward without going backwards, through the brief 100% hockey we get.

Cowan, Niemela, Timmins/Robertson/Kampf/Holmberg/Steeves and a 1st can get anyone is the NHL. It's the new Ryder, Halak and a 2nd.

Antropov and a first was once our unbeatable offer.

Let's discuss further if we acquire Dobson.

If Rielly would get you a Knies replacement if Knies gets you Dobson, then why not just trade Rielly for Dobson?

I have no problem with your constantly correcting him, but his convolutions in trying to not acknowledge any of it can be annoying after the first few trips down his rabbit holes.

 

[Skullz]

Dobson should become our biggest target. But if we can’t give up Knies.

 

[Stephen]

Buffalo has a history of letting players go only to see them bloom elsewhere

Cozens is almost certainly guaranteed to have a Conn Smythe Trophy caliber run the way things go for Buffalo.

Unless the Hathaway fight truly did change him (something I’ve seen Sabres fans suggest).

Unless the Hathaway fight truly did change him (something I’ve seen Sabres fans suggest).

I'd be willing to bet on a 6'3 center who has quality tools and has scored 70 points and 30 goals in his early 20's

Especially on a team full of gutless wimps who won't stand up and protect there mates, nothing crushes a guys spirit faster than that combined with losing

 

[Gabriel426]

Cozens and Dobson are available. Really can’t believe that.
Is Dobson playing really bad as I don’t watch the Islanders.

 

[LaPlante94]

Marner for Pastrnak lets get it done.
