[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Add Kampf to Marner, and get a package of…

Seth Jones
Nolan Allen
Islanders’ 1st round pick in 2024
Leafs’ 1st round pick in 2025

We aren't rebuilding. no thank you.

Trouba seems to be on the market. He's an expensive cap hit and not the best shut down guy, but brings a lot of the qualities we're looking for.

Leafs need good dmen, not bad ones

I didn't see any of the Rangers playoff games, but I've read that Trouba had a ankle injury (broken) prior to the start of the run for the cup. He does (from memory) tick a few of the boxes we've been looking for. Along with Kappo Kakko, Trouba has been linked as a possible 'move on from' with the Rangers. Kakko has been disappointing as a 2nd OV pick, but has proved to be a strong defensive RW for the Rangers (again from what I've read) and excels at exiting the D zone with the puck ~ 97th percentile. Together they total 10.4M against the cap. Again, from memory, was it Trouba who wanted to leave Canada because his wife was going to be a doctor?

Q. Would it make sense to trade Marner for these two players, and would there be an add from either team? I find the idea of plugging two positions at the cost of one position to be intriguing, if only because we might then be able to acquire better players where needed with the cap savings: e.g., Tanev/Roy or Lindholm/Stephenson etc.

A defense group of:

Rielly Roy
McCabe Trouba
Benoit Liljegren

doesn't look so bad to me, equal L/R handedness, some scoring ability, PK ability, and about as physical a group as I can remember.

 

[BertCorbeau]

He's got some other qualities - RHD, got some offense in him, supposedly a leader, still in his prime and you don't have to commit many years to him.

I don’t think Trouba wants to play in Canada

If I am Tre,

I have the same willingness to move Morgan as I do Marner, and there is absolutely a market for Mo.

I move both without hesitation, and both to add more balance to the roster.

Am I looking for an immediate replacement? No.

But with the assets accumulated and the cap space spared, there is a lot to work with.

I’d move both too, hope it happens, but not holding my breath…….

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Trouba was getting absolutely cooked this post season

 

[Malachi Crunch]

Mirtle threw out a Sergachev for Marner trade idea yesterday. Not sure if he made it up or heard something.

I like it.

ROR literally said his love for hockey died; eichel had to have a surgery no one has had before come on man try a little harder. We can;t score in the playoffs so lets not add cheap goal scoring depth

lack of scoring doesn't come from lack 9f goal scorer but coming in the fact D are never involved until trailing late. Playing at 3v5 unable to create space i the cycling because d are not involve
+
didn't had a lot of pressure without the puck to create hole

watch Florida, vegas, colorado, tampa and whatever. You will see D involve and hard forechecking.


Under keefe leafs playing safe hockey and took minimum of risk. They played a system who was working in the start of 2000's with exemple NJ trap. But the defensive system are now too good to hope win in playoff without using the 5 player on the ice. If the only thing you're doing is add goal scorer, that will change absolutly nothing if you didn't create yourself more space to shoot it and just taking outside shot.

Isn't everyone talking about how we need more puck moving from our defense?

You want to move Mo, and then what, revamp the defense? That's a nice thought, until you realize a guy like Roy is looking at 6 million a year, and Chris Tanev will need 5 years and it will take a miracle for him to last through 2.

Any dman close to Mo will cost either more dollars or a huge ask in Trade.

Pretty risky considering Serg is coming off a major injury. I like the player but damn we would really be putting in a lot of faith he would he the same player. I’d want at least a pick attached

I would rather give up the 6 million a year for Roy than give a 5 year term to Tanev to keep the AAV down. Tanev might be effective for 2 of those years

Sorry was supposed to be seperate comments

I'd be willing to do something like Sergachev, Cirelli for Liljegren, Marner

Sergachev is as strong as an ox, big, pretty mobile, hard point shot.

Cirelli was able to play 2C when they won a cup, their winger support has been getting worse and worse because the cap has been stripping down that team.

 

[aingefan]

Jarnkrok is quite marketable for teams wanting a depth two way guy that can score and is cheap.

I hope they move him for at least a 2nd

Agreed that both Jarn and Kampf have some value.
I’d peg Jarn at a second or two thirds, Kampf at a third or two fourths.

 

[ACC1224]

I'm sure it's been posted somewhere in here but where does the lineup currently stand with the ufa's removed?

If he's healthy this would be my ideal Marner trade. Sergachev is a right shot, can play either side, can play top pair minutes, Stanley cup experience, he's very competitive, physical when he needs to be, and has offense (64 points 2 seasons ago).

Also, he has a cap hit of 8.5 million for another 6 years or so (I think). If Marner wants 12.5, that's 4 million worth of savings starting next year. Also, given the cap increases, 8.5 for a top pairing guy is going to turn into an okay cap hit.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I'm expecting quite a lot, I mean Treliving needs a minimum of 2 D, 2 goalies if you want to include a #3 goalie and Domi and Bertuzzi are free agents you have to replace them and It's not as simple as plug in 2 prospects and be on your way.

You MIGHT be able to do that with one of them if you Cowan is ready and he looks like he might be but one of Domi or Bertuzzi need to be legitimately replaced.

I'd look into Debrusk, Perron and when Buffalo buys him out Skinner.

I'd also look to move Jarnkrok and/or Kampf, I like both but I think we can do better.

I'd be very happy with 2 of Roy, Tanev, Zadorov and to lesser extent Myers.

In goal I'd call Minnesota about Gus, Between him and Woll one of them is bound to break out.

I think Brad is going to be aggressive because he kind of has to be

 

[DarkKnight]

The great Sam Lafferty as cannon fodder in a trade is perfect. We will still retire his jersey here next year?

WHAT? Waived his NMC? Umpossible!

Funny how it works that depth players are expendable and can be replaced on an annual basis.

 

[mapleleafs34]

I'm sure it's been posted somewhere in here but where does the lineup currently stand with the ufa's removed?

Assuming our RFA's come back and no UFA's:

Knies-Matthews-Nylander
McMann-Tavares-Marner
Robertson-Holmberg-Jarnkrok
Dewar-Kampf-Reaves
Gregor

Rielly-Liljegren
Benoit-McCabe
XXX-Timmins

Woll
XXX

 

[Dreakmur]

We aren't rebuilding. no thank you.

Adding Seth Jones isn’t a rebuild move. He gives us another low end #1 defender to help take the load off Rielly. He’s probably overpaid by about 1.5 million, but the raising cap will help that over time.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Feels like a good day for a trade

 

[supermann_98]

WHAT? Waived his NMC? Umpossible!

The fact that he got a NMC in the first place is a bit of a joke

 

[ACC1224]

Thanks. I'm guessing we'll see a few trades to open up some spots to go UFA shopping.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Common trades!

 

[The Management]

Not exactly the flurry of activity I had been hoping for! Unfortunately I may miss the draft.

 

[Tony Romo]

Also, trading Marner for a futures package isn't a rebuild move either.

You can have ELCs that can step into the team soon, rebuild the prospect pool. While being able to go after big time FAs.

To add to this, if you can't get someone that's bare minimum really good. It maybe better to do an ELC based package because you can turn around and go offer Jake 9.5m or offer Lindholm 7m + another forward 5m and add that on top of the ELCs you got for Marner.


Allows for you to either have cheap ELCs step in the line up soon or give you assets that if you think this team is actually really good, you have pieces you can swing around in deals.
