Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[ULF_55]

Really weird.

Moving up 3 spots?

Someone overheard something?

 

[ULF_55]

They can refuse to waive for 1 year, not indefinitely. Now the next question is why would Marner want to play for a team that doesn't want him and there's a strong possibility the fans will be hostile?

I don't think the above applies to Tavares, as he knows he's other done here after this season or he'll have to sign for a whole lot less.

marner and Tavares can waive until they are free agents.

You think a god cares what mortals think?

Dammit Dakota Joshua re-signs in Vancouver.

 

[Stephen]

Being a playoff rookie is largely immaterial imo. Doesn’t really have any bearing on how the player will help there.

I’m not strongly advocating for Skinner by any means BUT if the price is right (cheap) he adds speed and goalscoring ability

Not a fan.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Friedman says Domi’s ask is 4x4M
This would be a very different discussion at 6M per.

Pierre Lebrun said the Domi ask was closer to 6m per.

If Domi's ask is 4m, take it.

Debrusk and Bertuzzi are both going to get 5m+ per. And they have issues too.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Dammit Dakota Joshua re-signs in Vancouver.

At that number glad he didn't sign here

 

[Lightsol]

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

Wright (4th Overall) + #8

 

[Commander Clueless]

I'd do that for Domi for sure.

 

[Lightsol]

One team wins the Cup, all the other teams are losers.

Leafs sign players every year, guess none of them want to win either?

There's a difference between "signing on a team that will make the playoffs and could go on a run if they got hot at the right time" and "signing on a team that just traded half their defense, their #1 goalie and a top 6 forward and are staring at a complete rebuild from the ground up".

 

[Dekes For Days]

He had a slow and not very good start to the season but once he settled in he was very good.

The range was more horrible to acceptable, and that's pretty much who Domi is. Inconsistent offensively, and consistently problematic in every other way (especially in defensive play and discipline); making him hard to trust and fit in a lineup. The unsustainable 20 game hot stretch driven by Matthews to end the regular season should not be what we are making our Domi decision on, and given his historical inconsistency and limitations, it's understandable that people have hesitations in giving him term and a raise.

 

[Dreakmur]

Then sign someone else lol

Its not hard. He's not that good.

I didn't say "will". I said "should". 4 million is a fair price for Domi. As asked, what do you think these other 50 point guys going to get?

Dakorta Joshua just signed for 3.25, and he put up a career high of 32 points as a 27 year-old last year.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Really odd timing on that pick trade

Feels like a relatively green GM move to make for Chicago and San Jose.

I see no point in moving up so far in advance, you have no idea if your guy is there, why pay the premium to move up?

 

[Havoc]

Hoping Marner is still a Leaf when it's all said and done.

Don't @ me

 

[rumman]

I wouldn't go more than 3.5M x 3 on Domi, expensive luxury.

at 3.5 per, I have no problems with a 4 year term...........

 

[leafan11]

at 3.5 per, I have no problems with a 4 year term...........

Agreed, you don’t automatically get a raise just because you played for the Leafs last year, enough with this BS

 

[rumman]

Agreed, you don’t automatically get a raise just because you played for the Leafs last year, enough with this BS

half a mil per is a good raise in my world, but no movement clause given, that has to be stressed.........

 

[WTFMAN99]

DeBrusk will test UFA per Sweeney

 

[Kazparov]

Friedman says Domi’s ask is 4x4M
This would be a very different discussion at 6M per.

I'd do 4x4 for Domi.

 

[Kiwi]

There are some really garbage takes on Domi in this thread.

He had a slow and not very good start to the season but once he settled in he was very good.

Still produced nearly 50 points despite a notable reduction in both even strength and powerplay ice time from the previous season where he scored 20 and got 56 points.

Fit well with Matthews as well when called upon. 4X4M is reasonable but here is hoping we can get more like 3.5M

Garbage? What part of can't score a goal and is horrible defensively is incorrect?

There's a reason he's bounced around the league, unfortunately people believe the bull**** there feed about how much he loves the team and lose all objectivity about what he is

 

[LeafsStorm]

Domi at his cap over Kampf at his cap

 

[Fogelhund]

So far we’ve done… nothing??

I lack the patience for this kind of inactivity.

Common something.

I'm actually really surprised to be honest.

 

[wingman75]

Yea, I keep coming here... expecting something... anything even.

Appreciate they are in on things, but if you are not getting things done, we have a problem.

I don't even know what I want really, change I guess, but I can surely assume what I would like to see will never come to fruition.

 

[weems]

Roy feels like the move we should make.

[keonsbitterness]

Now the next question is why would Marner want to play for a team that doesn't want him and there's a strong possibility the fans will be hostile?

If the Leafs get a good offer, I can think of two reasons:
1) Marner has no interest in the team.
2) Marner likes the team but can't come to terms on an extension.
