Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[Bloomberg]

Henrique can still play. He wasn't that great for the Oilers though and he's not the fastest player. He's already 34 years old and from Brantford -- which is not far from Toronto. I wouldn't give him much but if he's willing to take a cut for a cup run I'm all ears.

Janmark is meh. Pretty much a Noah Gregor player... which is not that good.

I think Minten needs a season in the AHL before he's ready. So 1 year stop gap for Adam Henrique as third line centre?

 

[Commander Clueless]

With Skinner off the market, are there any potential targets left for forward depth?

Or do we see what Cowan/Grebyonkin/Robertson (if he stays) have after all?

 

[1specter]

I once saw someone draw a parallel between skinner and PLD in terms of their attitude - I have no clue how true that is but that put me on the fence a bit regarding skinner

EDIT: Nevermind looks like skinner is going to edmonton

Another fake Toronto boy.

 

[Gabriel426]

Expected Skinner will be an Oilers playing with McD and Drai in the playoffs.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Not only that. Tampa was willing to cut their losses with the face of their franchise. They wanted to take a different direction.

We have to walk away from JT when that Marner now that the time has come.

Edited for accuracy.

Nell boys don’t really make those types of videos anymore. They’ve evolved into one of the biggest podcasts on YouTube. They are highly successful. They’ve landed some of the hardest guests ever, they even got Donald Trump to do an interview with them and Trump wasn’t interviewing with anyone.

Damn good for them they’ve expanded!

 

[613Leafer]

Henrique and Sprong maybe the most interesting UFA forwards left? Could maybe afford one of we moved Timmins + one of Jarnkrok/Kampf.

McGroarty also an interesting trade option with a cheap caphit.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Waive Timmins
Trade Kampf
Sign Dewar for 1.5

Should give the Leafs 3-4 million, with that add another vet forward. Another Domi type signing would be great, a 40-50 point player

Trade Marner.

 

[the real Fox mulder]

If Marner agrees to waive his NMC, I always have been on the idea of trading him for picks and prospects and then using those asset to acquire a 50% retain Pavel Buchnevich and a Colton Ross.

I agree. As for Henrique, I think if it's anything below 3M on a 1 year deal I think it could work? He's probably going to get better offers though.

With Skinner off the market, are there any potential targets left for forward depth?

Or do we see what Cowan/Grebyonkin/Robertson (if he stays) have after all?

There are reclamation projects like Vrana and Barabanov. There's also Sprong that is pretty underrated. Maybe Pacioretty wants another shot and would be willing to go dirt cheap if he's healthy?

 

[Morgs]

Unlike last off-season I actually like the additions. I'm choosing not to acknowledge the term or cap anymore, but they got actual good players that do what the team was lacking: Move the puck to the forwards, and save the puck. For once I'm not gonna be upset with Tre.

Too bad we're wasting cap on that awful Kampf contract because that 2.4 could've gone to a useful player like Skinner.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

It's going to be funny to see all of the grunts lay it on the line while the players that get paid, all of the ice time, and everything else are afraid to break a nail.

 

[fahad203]

We really need some depth scoring

Leafs top 4 players make 46 million (combined)

Other teams highest 4 paid players do not even come close to that so other teams have more rounded rosters

Only way for Leafs to make any significant progress is for Knies, Liljegren, McMann, Robertson, Holmberg to produce significantly more than they did last season.

i don't expect much improvement from marner and tavares, especially in the playoffs

 

[613Leafer]

Feels like trades have to be coming. Vegas has been super quiet….also wonder about parayko. Maybe pinto or colton?

No idea what the trade to vegas would look like now with our D. We need forwards.

A Marner trade gets harder and harder the more our roster gets set and the less capspace everyone else has. Pretty much has to be dollar in dollar out now, whereas Sergachev was traded for like no real caphits going back there other way a few days ago.

A big blueline acquisition like Parayko also seems very unlikely now that we've signed Tanev, OEL, and Hakanpaa.

 

[Duffman955]

Our defense got better, but older.

Goaltending is still a question, but has a lot of potential

Lost scoring in Bertuzzi 20 goals... Not been replaced yet. Also I thought Robertson was gonna be a 20 goal lock. He's also on the way out.

Thanks for the correction. Still bad.

And people still want to bring them back bc winning the Cup with the Core is more important than Winning the Cup

 

[BallardEra]

Oilers keeping Janmark.

3 year at $1.45M AAV


Brodie signs with Chicago.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Brad is going to have to make a trade. He seems like he's keeping all the dmen based on his latest presser.

 

[PromisedLand]

Tampa being very practical and keeping any emotional crap on the back burner

Nah we only need to replace 15 goals.

Knies is ready for 20, so now we just need someone to replace Knies previous 15 mark.

 

[Zybalto]

Wow good payday for Brodie considering he looked pretty washed by the end of last season.
