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

[Skullz]

We need defencemen who can move the puck and score. Also who shoot from the right. Soucy is good, but does he make that much of an upgrade?

I would say they might not win a Cup but definety be closer to one than our current four


Which one did we win?
McD is better than Matty.
Barkov is better than JT.
Mack is better than MM.
Tkachuk has a slight edge over Willie.

You changed the order.

McD is better than Matty.
Mack is better than Mitch.
Willy is better than Barkov.
Tkachuk is better than JT.

Even your way, Willy and Tkachuk are just about even, so "lose 3 of 4" is still accurate.

There isn't much that would be better than what we have for right handers that's available or attainable. So the Leafs might have to sacrifice handedness for quality. This is where pro scouting has to get it right

Perhaps, but there's not a lot to trade. I think in the summer it would be better than now.

If the Leafs retained 50% the return would be pretty big. I am talking right at the deadline if he is looking strong.

If we include Domi and Jarnkrok and Hakanpaa both stay on LTIR until the playoffs, we can fit Cozens in…

Jarnkrok was never on the Leafs active roster to begin with. They got themselves to $1 cap space with him on LTIR.

If you assume the roster has Hakanpaa and Jarnkrok on LTIR; you're basically looking at a 23-man roster with about $700k of cap hit thst you can add.

I'd be lukewarm interested in getting Mike Matheson out of Montreal. He had a huge year last year offensively.

I'm pretty sure he won't be cheap and that hole up front still needs filling

That's still my priority and where I'd be looking to throw the better assets at
