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

[Fogelhund]

How? Reeves is making half that for what exactly? Schenn made Reilly better as well

Who? What?

Reaves? Rielly?

So you bring up a guy in Reaves, who is overpaid, as an reason we should have overpaid someone else? 3 years x $2.75 million is way too much for Schenn. Reaves contract would have been about right for Schenn, and Reaves should be closer to league minimum.

True.. but then...

why does Utah want to move Sergachev, essentially for a poorer, older D man?
Why does St. Louis move Parayko for a 2026 first rounder, and essentially nothing else?
Why does Chicago move, and retain 50% for two years on Murphy for a second? They might accept a 2nd, for no retention, needs a first otherwise.
Why is Anaheim moving their captain, and retain for two years, for essentially no return?
Why does Seattle move Tanev for no real returns, or Philly Hathaway for nothing... and retain.

These would even get rejected on your playstation.

Utah moves Sergachev for Rielly a player on the same caliber and 1M cheaper, obviously he's older thats why we're coughing up a 1st round pick + 2nd and Jarnkrok can get them a 2nd when healthy.

The breakdown on that trade
Rielly- Sergachev
1st round
2nd round
2nd round

Utah makes the trade because regardless of the age gap they add 3 players to their future and still have the opportunity to move Rielly or keep him...and Morgan has the potential to hit a ppg again, its not like he's completely washed up

St.Louis doesnt move Parayko for nothing, they get Robertson who still has huge upside and can become a ppg player and 30+ goals with gritt he's just been used wrong here....they also add Niemela probably our top D prospect,Timmins to fill in the minutes this season for Parayko and Dewar a young shutdown center...plus a 1st and 3rd round and lets add a 6th

Trade breakdown
Parayko-Niemela
Walker-6th round
1st round
3rd round
Robertson
Timmins
Dewar

Teams lastyear we're added to the trades(3-way)too take on 50% retention and they we're giving up 5th round picks for it.

Murphy-2nd round pick
 myers
50% retention-4th round pick

Anaheim come on brother haha there captain really?? For what the next year or two, its temporary 100% just like Trouba in NY.

Gudas-3rd round pick
Benning
50% retention- 5th round pick

What's the most Tanev is gonna return without any retention a 4th max thats reality, his value is not as high as you'd think....and if he asks to be moved to play with his brother, if im not mistaken he has 1year left on his deal or two?
We can easily sweeten that deal with a low level prospect.

Hathaway same situation pre sure he has 1-2 years left, they add a pick and a player that can get them the same value back if traded.

Hathaway-Kampf
50% retention-5th round pick

Tanev-4th round pick
50% retention-Low prospect

Other teams offers wont be far off what i posted, you have to remember there also working around the cap and most contenders dont have much to offer besides picks

I’m glad you’re not the gm

It's been explained to you, multiple times.

Krebs primarily plays with Lafferty and Malentsyn. They have 5 and 9 points.
Buffalo is a train wreck.
Most players do better once they leave Buffalo, as they don't develop players very well.
He was nearly 2 ppg in his last WHL season, and played well at the WJC. He SHOULD be having better offensive results.. but Buffalo.
Whether it's Robertson/Domi/McMann... those are upgrades over who he is currently playing with.
He's more productive/60, than Schenn, who was being discussed, thus the comparison.
He's young at 24, a RFA in 2026, cost controlled, and cheaper than other options. Obtaining him allows for a more marquee acquisition at D. He's physical, becoming good in the dot, good along the boards, decent defensively.
He's not a player in his 30's declining..nor a UFA. Nor is he injured, nor does he have an injury history.

Now given the cost is low, he either grows into being a decent 3C, or doesn't... and if he doesn't get to where we need, he'd still have value to move in the future, to upgrade. Young, cost controlled C's will always be in demand, and he certainly is that.

Domi has 22 points in 50 games.... he's approaching .5 PPG... if he gets there, that's decent for a third liner, and good value for the money. Domi is actually 3g, 14a even strength... not that it's much of a difference.

okay i will take your own logic.

Lorentz actually producing at higher rate than krebs at 5v5/60 playing alongside Kampf and dewar/reaves (;whos not an upgrade to krebs teammate).. And hes winning half of krebs Salary!!! Hallelujah, we've got our answer!!!!! using lorentz as 3c, that will solve everything!!!! That's make no sense at all...The only reason people want krebs is the fact he had been a high pick, not at all for what he can really bring to an actual NHL team. Krebs is not an upgrade in anything tonwhat leafs already having

2- When the last time you saw a sabres 4th line player from buffalo having an higher production somewhere else than what they ever be able to get in Buffalo? and watch it pretty fast and was unable to find anyone. So why it should be different with krebs? A big part of those player moving out resulting basically at the end of their nhl carreer.. It was true with top 6/quality player but not with bottom 6

[All Mod Cons]

I’ll be honest, I don’t see it likely at all that Domi is moved.

100% he won't be moved.

 

[All Mod Cons]

someone will need to explain me

people want to get rib of Domi because hes having an awful offensive season with only 3 goal 13 assist at 5v5 or robertson with his 9 goal 4 assist ( in 5 game less) but think krebs with his 4 goal 11 assist ( who never did anything good in NHL) will change something offensively?

Bizarrely Krebs is this year's Maxime Comtois where our fanbase likes the player more than their own fanbase, management team, and mother.

Exactly, krebs lost his spot in Buffalo top 9 for a 20 YO player who only having 17 nhl pts in 42 game but he should be the guy who will completly change leafs bottom 6. That's pretty hilarious abd ibreally loved comparaison with Comtois and i think comtois was an even better player than krebs

 

[Maple Leaf]

100% he won't be moved.

yea for nepotism reasons too

CJ and Jonas have an article up on the The Athletic.

They’re saying the price for Schenn would be the 2026 first - one of Cowan, Minten or Danford - “and perhaps Grebenkin too.”

They also say there might need to be a sweetener to make the money work.

Yeah - no thanks.

Is that with retention?

 

[Sypher04]

I’d consider 1st and Danford with retention. Would pass on the other two.

Id pay that price for Kadri, Cozens Dylan Strome (if any of them were on the market) not for Brayden Schenn who has declined quite hard from his prime years
