Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[PromisedLand]

At some point you should accept the fact that MLSE would likely want no part of the media scrutiny that would meet Q here.

Q did nothing wrong. It was the CORRUPT media that painted him with the wrong brush making up stories that weren't true. It is in legal filings. His daughter has tweets up on twitter stating as such.

Q could potentially file defamation case for maligning his name without evidence.

Sounds like a guy they will keep

play him in top6 pump up his trade value and then if needed trade him for improved return. right now the return is going to be trash. hold on to robertson. we are not running a charity here

Okay.

On a separate point, Nashville signing a useful back-up goalie is interesting.

Lmao, he would get laughed out of court

 

[Tony Romo]

Can William Karlsson play on the wing?

 

[darrylsittler27]

Skinner should bet on Edmonton to me but he's from the GTA and just as good of an opportunity to play a lot of good minutes here and finally play some playoff games. Leafs need goal scoring depth, especially with Bertuzzi gone and Robertson likely traded, so he would fit in that very well.

Play with Mathews or play with McDavid for next contract?

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Anyone reputable? My head cannon is in full hopium about Vegas. But I don't think he waives tbh.

I don't see a trade fit for us after our free agents signing..maybe a karllson + 1st + shapovaliv or dorofeyev..otherwise nothing interesting there , Theodore is not interesting right now with our ld depth

 

[Superstar]

Why do you guys think you know more than insiders? Friedman isn’t the first person to say this today. Players talk, it’s time for HF Boards armchair insiders and GM’s to understand that it’s 100% a factor.

Yes some players would love to be in Toronto. But the reality is most don’t. They don’t want to get shit on daily. And let’s be honest in Philly and in Boston the hockey teams are like the third/fourth most popular teams. US Media give a shit about hockey. ESPN didnt even cover it until this year.

Boston

Patriots
Red Sox
Celtics
Bruins

Philly

Eagles
Phillies
76’ers
Flyers

I'd like for an insider like Friedman to say "I took a poll of x number of players and this is what they say", not "I bet...". That's pure speculation on his part. I could have speculated that too.

 

[OVO16]

Lets guess these depth signings folks

We're signing Nick Cousins arent we

 

[Magic Man]

Lets guess these depth signings folks

Clutterbuck, Skinner, A. Nylander, Cousins, Girgensons, Tinordi

 

[PromisedLand]

Okay.

Go ahead and see for yourself. Am not posting the entire thread as it would take this thread off topic.

Q would have been a perfect coach for the Leafs. He had hawks playing really well and then he had panthers playing pretty well before he was falsely accused.

berube is good but quite frankly, the blues run had more to do with things just lining up with Peietro, ROR, etc... and Binngington coming up from minors and putting up a show.

berube is good. but Coach Q is a lot better IMO and Bettman screwed Toronto over AGAIN!

 

[Jojalu]

Ugh this is horrible. We have not fixed our blue line at all. Only things ive liked so far is Domi, Hakanpa and Stolarz.

That Walker signing is very sad to look at.


no

Tanev is better than anyone they had last year defensively.

 

[OVO16]

Leafs current forward group is extremely small right now. They need some size bad

 

[TimeZone]

Sprong, Roslovic, Skinner....these are the big forward additions out there that remain

2 goals or less in 13 of our last 14 playoff games and our forward group just got worse.

Good stuff, how exciting.

 

[TMLAM34]

Skinner and Blais upfront please and thank you.

Then a trade for Colton please and thank you.

 

[Jojalu]

I am worried they won't be able to score in the playoffs again.

I do believe they are better in goal and on the blueline, but for the past 2, maybe 3 years they simply can't score enough in close games.

Hopefully Tre has a plan to boost the forward corps. I do belive Knies will be better, but hoping for Cowen or Minten to contribute significally seems premature

f***

running it back what is it now? version 5.0?

Yep. This is true for all the Canadian markets but especially so in Toronto and Montreal

f***

https://x.com/i/web/status/1807884906350919959

Yeah... Best D corps we've had in ... 20 years? Or at least close to it. And I am considering for the first time not watching any Leafs games next year.

 

[Gilmour1996]

Tre should check with NYR if there's anyone we've got they'd rather have than Matt Rempe. We'll need a replacement for Reaves sooner than later.

I like this. tells me that there are probably a couple more moves to come up front

really? that's truly a shame if that's the case.

honestly i know everyone is like. they are headed to Utah but in all honesty this should have been cleared up ages ago. (even if we still ended up with Berube and I would be fine w/that - at least everything was on the table).

 

[PromisedLand]

I don't quite understand why is it that we think we needed defensive upgrade. Our defensive upgarde that was needed was an offensive d-man who can provide offense in additional to rielly and play #1PP unit.

Our forward core has essentially remained the same i.e. running it back......

Marner it seems is refusing to waive his NMC/NTC so we are stuck. I just hope they don't extend marner. if they do then I think I will not be watching leafs as regularly as I had done the last decade plus

Have to make a trade then Brad.

Jarnkrok, Kampf, Marner are your bets.

Marner I get he can't trade him until he waives NTC/NMC; but I don't understand the fascination with Kampf and Jarnkrok that Treliving has. At least dump Jarkrok if you want to hold on to the center in kampf ffs
