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

It's 10am pretty sure but anyway... should be out shortly.

I anticipate a lot of big names on that list. Some will be protected through trades, but I think their list to pick from will have better name recognition than Vegas' did.

 

[Burnie97]

I've seen this on the main boards too and figured some Habs fans had been smoking some good shit saying this is allowed but...

 

[Americanadian]

I could see Lou looking at Rielly to replace Leddy. Would make sense in a swap for Beauvillier.

 

[Legion34]

I’m still a little upset the leafs didn’t try to make one more deal to get a better forward.

if we are going 7-3-1. Why waste the last spot on simmonds/engvall/Anderson?

there will undoubtedly be a better forward exposed.

[dubplatepressure]

why in the everloving f*** would we expose McCann. The only sense I can make from that is that we're giving something to Seattle to take Kerfoot - maybe a 3rd or something.

 

[Stand Witness]

Leafs just big brained this and I think they completely butchered it.

I was fine losing Kerfoot because I figured we could use that money elsewhere. It baffles me that we would trade for a guy and expose him.

For what? Holl? Unbelievable.

 

[Jozay]

Ill reserver judgement to see if theres a side deal involved.

But there 0 reason for Seattle to take Kerfoot over McCann

 

[Mickey Marner]

Lol. Of course we go 4-4-1.

 

[horner]

No way Coleman gets 4.5 a year

Whatever he signs we should try and sign him.

 

[Coachcorner]

Hello. How many hours is there still to go when those lists are published sire?

This is the time to be an nhl investor. HARD!!! We LOVE this gezame!!!

 

[Griffin76]

Can he be selected, traded to say Ottawa with retention, and then traded to Montreal with retention again? Would cost Montreal a lot of picks/prospects but Price at half/quarter of his salary would be huge.

I don't think paying Seattle to have them take a guy they should be taking anyways is really any better.

I think there is either a deal in place where the Leafs are paying Kerfoot's bonus and they compensate us, or the Leafs want to keep Kerfoot and don't care if they lose Dermott or McCann/Hallander.

Kerfoot agreed on - with incentive. (Imo)
McCann grabbed while he held "less" value during expansion posturing by Pitt... and won't be picked even though he's exposed by Tor

 

[pspot]

Really surprised blais was exposed hes a guy ive wanted leafs to target but didnt think hed be available

 

[hockeynorth]

That is annoying.

 

[dubplatepressure]

That is annoying.

Agreed. We'll have to see how this plays out.

 

[Coachcorner]

How many hours still sire? Calculate no?

 

[Dion TheFluff]

If Seattle end up taking McCann, I'm gonna be irate! I've supported Dubas but this was just a bone head move he we end up loosing him!

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Even if it means we get to keep Dermott and Kerfoot?

 

[Leafs1991]

He'll get more.

He won't. Coleman is good but he isn't 5mil+ a year good. 50 points should be no more than 4mil but even then that's still pushing it a bit given he did that with the Lightning. He's also 29, soon to be 30 this year. I think anywhere between 3-4 would be good. Ideally, 3mil.

I think him and Hyman will end up getting very identical contracts.

They're both in the same tier. If what Hyman is rumored to get is true, Coleman will look for a 5+ year deal for 5+ million easily. I rate Coleman a tad higher due to his skating but they're fairly even.

I don't think so but someone that knows more about the cap can probably answer that forsure.
