GDT: Trades & Free Agency Thread - Off-Season Early Edition

[Gabriel426]

Hard to play against and beating everyone up are two different thing.

TB might not be a team that plays like the Bruins with Chara and company but they are hard to play against.
The fact that on average, TB is smaller than the Leafs and played harder just prove the Leafs players are soft.

Tampa battles hard. They compete every shift.

Exactly. Two things that any players and teams could do if they want to.

Hardness, grittiness, compete etc etc.

These are bullshit terms, IMO. They're just kind of meaninglessly thrown around.

The game is a long series of battles. Whoever wins more is likely to win. Call it whatever you want.

Well isn't that interesting.

Well isn't that interesting.

I highly doubt it TBH.

Now if they move Marner or Nylander...

 

[Avilaj07]

One trade I'd like to see and since Yzerman said he's looking for younger players, I'd look at,

To Toronto-
Tyler Bertuzzi

To Detroit-
Travis Dermott
Ilya Mikheyev
3rd Round Pick

I'd return faith if we had a lineup similar to this next year :

Landeskog - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Tavares - Robertson
Anderson- Jenner - Mikhayev
Simmonds - Spezza - Brooks

Muzzin - Brodie
Sandin - Jones
Dermott - Holl

Campbell
Rittich

Kerfoot - ED
Marner + Rielly for Jones + Jenner
Landeskog 5.2m
Hyman 4.8m

Those are really bad for the Leafs, and Landeskog is easily getting a lot more than 5.2 mill if he hits the open market. He'd likely stay in Colorado if he was willing to take that little.

Pagnotta musta been on crack during this radio hit haha.

 

[leafsfan5]

Well isn't that interesting.

Colorado offering Landeskog 5-5.5 million is straight disrespectful if that's true lol

Yeah just like our players are thrown around like they are useless in the playoffs.

 

[Gabriel426]

I read that on Twitter.
If Landy is being value by Avs 5-5.5mil. How in the World is Hyman worth close to 5mil?

 

[Avilaj07]

I would absolutely love Landeskog on this team. He is exactly the type of player we need. I would definitely move Marner if it means we're able to get Landeskog.

Here's a crazy proposal,

To Toronto-
Tyler Bertuzzi
Moritz Seider
Wsh 1st Round Pick

To Detroit-
Mitch Marner

Sign Landeskog at 6yrs x 6.5-7 million

 

[Gabriel426]

If Landy comes to the Leafs.
Just trade Marner to the Kraken and see what type of return package the Kraken can offer.

If we made that trade, we'd have to expose Bertuzzi in the expansion draft.

No we wouldn't, we would go 7-3-1

 

[Dreakmur]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Holl... Maybe I was just hoping he disappeared!

 

[Avilaj07]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Holl... Maybe I was just hoping he disappeared!

You and I both, can't stand Holl

 

[Pinto]

How is Colorado only offering 5-5.5? They are basically telling him to leave.

He’s exactly what we need in our top 6.

Edit - It’s gonna take more than shipping out Kerfoot to fit him in though.

 

[Superstar]

There's no way Landesgog is signing for around $5 million...Sakic is trying to lowball him...I heard he wants $8-$9 million per...look what Rantanen got.

 

[OVO16]

The thing I got most out of that is them trying to move Kerfoot. Landeskog is still a pipe dream IMO.

But here's hoping someone takes Kerfoot. Trade Engvall after that

 

[Jozay]

Simmons tweeted that it sounds like Bogosian wants to play in the US, fwiw.

Explains why he probably wont be back.

 

[Jozay]

Random, but I tried to see what Landeskogs ties to Toronto were out of curiosity because I never knew about it. Turns out his wife is from Toronto and he ended up quarantining here last year lol.
