Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[DougGilmour93]

Tre is “shipping” the bed. Losing out on everything.

This draft is a total bust.

Tre messed up . He should have just drafted at 23 or traded the pick outright with sweeteners to get Askarov or Mcagroarty.

No way he’s happy with Danford.

He was most likely hoping that he’d be able to land Emery at 31 and then with the other pick (58) he had someone in mind until they too were drafted and made a rushed deal to recoup another 2nd. Florida most likely is top of the league again and it’ll be a late pick. Sideways move at best.

Treliving draft = sucks

I hate it today but it's smart long-term.

giving a 2nd this year for a 2nd next year?

 

[Stephen]

Thought the return on the trade down should have been more of a 3 for 1 yesterday to begin with but I guess this completes the exercise of getting more picks.

Always funny how easy it is to part with picks but so hard to reacquire them.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I would agree if I did not think next year is most likely a write-off.

As long as Matthews is here no year is a write off

 

[Stephen]

Looks like Tampa is all set to make some waves in free agency.

 

[Malachi Crunch]

I hate today so far

Good for them to walk away from that contract. Serg is a great player, but injuries are a concern with him

He really hasn't taken that next step. Hedmen and Stamkos are still Tampa's focus

They played the about 60% year without Serg last year. They know they can fill that role

 

[BallardEra]

Logan Thompson to the Caps

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

They were able to sign Sergachev without giving him a NTC until 2027.

 

[Gabriel426]

Thompson gone for 2 thirds.

 

[DougGilmour93]

Tre must still be asleep.

 

[Gabriel426]

Tre needs to do something bc it seems like a lot of teams are willing to trade picks for players

 

[613Leafer]

Looks like Tampa is all set to make some waves in free agency.

And with their core, warm weather, and tax-friendly status, pretty sure they'll be able to land some quality players for reasonable caphits.

With Geekie and others on cheap ELCs, they may have just reopened their window, provided free agency goes well for them (which I think it probably will).

Guessing the Hedman contract will be massive but doesn’t require Sergachev to be carved out from the cap structure.

Stammer won’t be making his current deal so that would take care of itself.

My intuition they are going after some of the guys Toronto has been after. Maybe drive up the price on Zadorov and try to grab one of our Domi Bertuzzi free agents.

Ya, sucks right now but we're too bare next year.

Would help if we could convert Liljegren for a modest return of picks.

I can definitely see them going after Bertz. That has Tampa written all over it

 

[Twine Tickler]

The trading of our 58th OA pick in this years draft for a 2nd rounder in next years draft, likely around the same spot as 58 and only receiving a 7th as compensation is not a good return IMO.

Either they were not thrilled with the available talent at that point in the draft, or they needed a future 2nd rounder to make another deal work down the line. Whether that’s in the immediate or at the TDL is yet to be determined.

Either way, a 7th rounder is just not enough IMO.

 

[Rude Dog]

I don’t think he’s a top 4 player at all. Slow and doesn’t have the skills to play heavy minutes.

Slow? He may be many things but slow certainly isn’t one of them.

I've seen picks being traded straight up for eachother in different years. Same as EDM did this year for 32 OV.

It especially makes sense if we didn't have anyone overly interesting on our board at 58.

 

[pspot]

Would have like Thompson, sergachev and/marino for leafs . All misses imo

the only thing he's lost out on that I wanted was Marino

Missing out on Marino bothers me but I'm not worried about missing on Sergachev because I doubt Tampa was trading him in the division, and I didn't even want Hayes, Jeanote would have been OK but not at almost 3 million.

he hasn't really missed out on much, but yes missing out on Marino sucks.

 

[Legion34]

Not just around LCA, but the entire downtown has been revived. It's a great city-center to visit.

I was shocked. I went to a wings game in 2010 and thought I was going to get shot.

Went to a lions game this year and It’s amazing.

next year
this year
all looks the same to me
should have just picked unless they didn't like anyone

 

[ER89]

Treliving is f***ing trash just like Dubas.

Don't get why Shanahan still has a job
