Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[ToneDog]

Utah and Seattle are two of my favourite destinations for a Marner trade. They have the right assets.

Wright (4th Overall) + #8
Guenther (9th Overall) + #6

That's pretty much the same deal.

With Oleksiak, Larsson, Tanev and Gourde for Seattle and Crouse, Keller, McBain, Ingram for Utah as good side pieces that could be worked into an expanded exchange.

Guenther (9th Overall) + #6 would make my summer.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Terrible. Maybe one of the worst lineups I've seen. Salaries are well out of whack. Domi isn't taking 3, Lilly isn't taking $1.5 Robertson gets more. Jarnkrok isn't making $4.. he's making $2.3 Laf is wrong... Cowan a first line winger already??? This is a disconnect from reality.. badly.

The D doesn't defend very well.... and the next thing we know.. here comes that thread... Our goalies suck, when it's the team in front.

You say that every time.

If you think today's was bad, just wait until tomorrow's.

Hopefully you are up for that challenge. Today's was an epic low bar. Good Luck and Cheers.

Who said Calgary was the front runner for Debrusk?

Guy who goes by NRD on twitter, who I think is pretty reliable.

 

[Malachi Crunch]

Domi asking for around 4 x 4 (Friedman).

 

[ER89]

Domi asking for around 4 x 4 (Friedman).

That's pretty fair I'd like to give him 3.5x4

Obviously not from my personal funds but ya get the point

Brady Tkachuk
#6 + Guenther
#8 + Wright

Theodore (Extended) + Hill (Extended)

Would you consider trading Mccabe ? Value will never be higher, will need a new long term contract next year when he turns 31

 

[Menzinger]

I'd rather extend him on a 3-4 year deal if possible. I think he's been a good fit, and while he's not great with the puck as a bit more ability there then a lot of physical players

 

[613Leafer]

Domi asking for around 4 x 4 (Friedman).

Much more reasonable than the ~5M+ numbers thrown around a few weeks ago.

Tough call but I'd keep him, he's a beauty.
Not enough guys with a pulse on this team as it is.

Yes to all. Rather have Thompson @ $1m than Hill @ $5m needing an extension.

I wouldn't want to give him or Bertuzzi that kind of term, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Leafs sign him to a deal like this before July 1 comes.

 

[Dreakmur]

Domi asking for around 4 x 4 (Friedman).

Sign that right now. That's very fair for a 50 point guy. He's a guy who gets this market and wants to be here. He fits in well with Matthews. Seems like a no-brainer.

 

[capfit9]

I like him too but I think he'll want around 5.5 which is top 4 money & he is not consistent enough for me.

 

[ToneDog]

You are already looking for 2 D. Extend him for 3 more years or let him walk and find a replacement next year.

I'd rather look for a better C with that money and circle back if you cannot find one, especially if you land Debrusk.

 

[showtime8]

Domi asking for around 4 x 4 (Friedman).

If Domi has a full year playing shotgun to Matthews and had some opportunity to play power play 1, then it's not out of the realm to think the he could put up 65 points. He put up 47 when it took him some time to get acclimated to the team and playing on the 2nd line for half the year.

I think 4x4 would be a fair deal. If you could lock him in at 3.5x4, I'd do it.

 

[Malachi Crunch]

I'd like that, but I'm good with 4x4 too. After hearing this, I expect him back.

i think he'll be looking for 5 - 6 years

I think that you lock him up instead of getting into the trade avenue. I think you end up giving more away at a trade deadline for a guy like this and only get 20 games.

 

[Magic Man]

Yes to all. Rather have Thompson @ $1m than Hill @ $5m needing an extension.

Thompson in instead of Hill in the Vegas deal or Keller in instead of Guenther in the Utah deal would work for me.

 

[ToneDog]

Yuck. If Tre signs two top 4 dmen this year with term, I'd let him walk in if he wants 5-6 years.

Thompson in instead of Hill in the Vegas deal or Keller in instead of Guenther in the Utah deal would work for me.

I love Guenther.

 

[Warden of the North]

Domi asking for around 4 x 4 (Friedman).

If that's the case then sign him. Fair deal, especially considering how quickly the cap is rising.

 

[thusk]

So you don't think Keefe was using the defense correctly?

View attachment 887989

Yes and no...

His system help to hide some missed on the defensive group by overprotectibg leafs D but at the same time really impacting leafs offensive game.

For me right now leafs had the same issue than what it was in 2018... 1 of bototm 10-12 D group in the NHL. Just the fact fans still hoping Liljegren could be a top 4 because he still one of best RHD to play in Toronto last 8, just show how bad this D was.

Remembered me when leafs fan was considerating ponikarovsky, Bozak, grabovski or whatever like good player when they was just playing high in the line up because lack of quality player... and at the end blaming Kessel to dont carry the team playing with bunch of bottom 6 player.

If toronto want to be a real contender, they need to invest in the D group and get the good complementary player leafs need. Exemple Brodie individually is a good D but he was not a good partner for Rielly or even Muzzin. I think leafs have a pretty good window next 2 year to build a solid , they need to make the right move.
