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

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Need to jettison Robertson, Holmberg, and Domi off this team. They’re all useless slugs. Would’ve rather we overpaid Bertuzzi instead of getting Domi on a “deal.” Better yet should’ve brought back neither.

Do not spend assets. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.

We have to fortify, we just don't need to empty the clip

How can you forget Kampf?

Kampf can at least be part of a fourth line that can forecheck and not be a defensive liability. But I wouldn’t care if he f***ed off too.

Domi sells Merch

I like him at $1.25m. Terrible signing for a top heavy team.

Domi sells Merch

Did you not get the memo? We are not here to sell Merch.

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.

Finding a team to retain on Brayden Schenn @ $6.5 m for 4 years is going to prove to be impossible imo. You see teams retain for 1-2 years. Maybe 3 but even that is rare. Retaining for 4 years is significant. It would cost more than a 1st just for the retention. The Brayden Schenn rumor was never logical. I’ll never say never but it seems very unlikely.

I know it's not likely but what would it take to get Robert Thomas from the Blues? He's signed for 8.5M until 2030, so it would be almost impossible to fit under the cap. But he's the perfect 2nd line center fur us going forward. He's still young, a strong two-way player who has become an excellent faceoff guy. He's also a right shot, which gives us balance in the circle, and Berube is very familiar with him. I'd move both Cowan and Minten and a pick to get him at least.

Thomas to Toronto
Kampf + Jarnkrok + Cowan + Minten + 2026 1st to St. Louis

combo evans+Armia could be an other option too. They was playing well together this season

 

[Torontonian]

Too many anchors right now, Domi / Holmberg / Robertson don’t bring anything to the team right now.. If they aren’t scoring they are useless. I’m actually fine with Holmberg being the 4C over Kampf, but he’s in over his head trying to be the 3C.

Time for Treliving to earn his paycheck and get a 3rd line center & winger if Jarnkrok can’t play.

I’m not expecting a scoring updrive with Jarnkrok, but he’s much more of a NHL player then Robertson / Reaves.

 

[Folignos Helmet]

Domi not even working with AM is not good. He could go out to balance salary coming in.

We are not here to do anything

MLSE is a business, plain and simple.
Winning is nice, making money is nicer.

It sucks, but is the capitalist truth.

 

[Leafs98]

Do teams have to pause trades over these 2 weeks ?

 

[Kiwi]

Do not spend assets. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.

Spend assets but try to get good players

I've had enough of this "intangibles" excuse for guys who aren't good at there jobs
