Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[rumman]

Some decent players getting bought out. Schmidt is also getting bought out.

I'd expect the Leafs to not qualify Liljegren at this rate. Woof

I see them trading Lilly, a change of scenery might help him, but he’s done here imo……

I’d probably move Timmins at that point

Who’s that desperate for D bedides us?

 

[OVO16]

Max Domi is coming back and its gonna be under 4M...lets goooooooo

 

[Rare Jewel]

Height: 6′0″
Weight: 189 lb
Born: 8/15/2000 (Age: 23)
Birthplace: Falun, SWE
Shoots: R
Draft: 2018, CHI (8th overall), 1st round, 8th pick

Only 35 games, but 18 minutes a night this year.

Why do they need the space?

Roy or Montour?

Or clearing room for Jiricek.

Seems reasonable.

Leafs can just waive a player like Timmins.

He isn't someone you'd worry about losing.

where'd u see that?

 

[TheDoldrums]

I just don’t know why you have to sign Domi right now. I seriously doubt anyone is giving him more than that tomorrow

where'd u see that?

Liljegren to Columbus makes sense. Don Waddell likes high analytics darlings. With Adam Boqvist waived, it makes sense

Carolina, Seattle, Colorado, Chicago

But get something decent back or keep him.

 

[Burnie97]

If it's for that... I Iike that quite a bit.

Domi loves it here. He actually sticks up for his team mates. He had a nice ending to the season and him and Matthews seem to work but he also did pretty decent at C.

I want more guys who take less to play for a team they love. Hint hint there Marner.

 

[Menzinger]

It is really hard to think a RHD of a bottom 10-12 defensive group in NHL and with a team desesperatly need RHD but who's struggling just to stay in the line up doesn't bring a lot of interest from rest of NHL team

Converselym rhd are a rare commodity and given Lily's age, there's always teams interested in projects.

You could make a similar case for Sandin, equally as unproven and still earned a decent return

That’s a great deal if true

 

[rumman]

What? The Core of the stink of the last 8 years is still here.

In regards to the core, nothing changes without change………

Well, at least he can skate and cover at C.


Still, the Tanev and Zadorov signings are going to be rough.

 

[Stephen]

Sergy outside the first cup run has been more liability defensively than anything else. He is more of an offense first Dman.

He does fine when he is being babysat by Heddy or Mac but more often then not he makes some of the most boneheaded mistakes for someone with the talent he has.

I love the kid and the heart it took to recover from that brutal injury and come back and play in the playoffs and actually impact it were incredible.

Yeah Sergachev has his boneheaded moments but I think you guys down in Tampa might not be fully appreciative of what a 26 year old who has already had that “first cup run” at the age of 22-23 really means. Or could be when he’s reached his prime years. Oh well, that’s Utah’s problem now.

 

[pdson]

Their actions sure confirm that they don't seem to care.

Lol why because they don't do what YOU want

Tanev even at 6 years ... If he can stay healthy for 3 or 4 of those years
.. the last 2 won't be a big deal. Cap is going way up.

Zad I'm worried about how long and money... but who knows. It'd be nice to see under 5 but I could see Tre being stupid on that one.

4 years at under $4 million isn’t too bad. That’s basically a small raise on what Kerfoot used to make in a new cap environment. And Domi has a personality. Maybe 1 year too long but it is what it is.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Under 4M for Domi is amazing.
Get it done

It is for ages 29-32 ... so shouldn't be an issue for term.

Deployment is key, and my guess Berube is onboard.

 

[PromisedLand]

Such a cop out response lmao.

Its okay to have an opinion or predict what you think will happen.

Wouldnt be surprised in the slightest to see Tampa ahead of the Leafs next season.

Vasilevskiy was injured to start the season, had surgery and took time to get into the season. Last year, if am not mistaken, he had his career worst GAA and SV%. I think he will rebound next season.

Tampa's top 4 players combined salary is:
Vasy(9.5)+Kucherov(9.5)+Point(9.5)+Hedman(7.8) = TOTAL 36.3 million

Leafs:
Matthews (13.25)+Nylander(11.5)+Tavares(11)+Marner(10.9) = TOTAL 46.7 million (about 10 million more than Tampa) and such team composision and cap structure hasn't paid any f***ing dividends to the Leafs AT ALL!!!

Compare that to the recent cup finalists for top 4 salaries:
VGK: Eichel(10)+Stone(9.5)+Peitrangelo(8.8)+Hanifin(7.4) = TOTAL 35.7 million (about 10 million LESS than Leafs) and at different positions. Center, Winger, and two Ds

Avs: Mack(12.6)+Rantanen(9.25)+Makar(9)+Toews(7.25) = TOTAL 38.1 million (about 8 million LESS than leafs)

Stars: Seguin (9.85)+Benn(9.5)+Hintz(8.45)+Heiskanen(8.45) = TOTAL 36.25 million (about 10 million LESS than leafs)

Oilers: McDavid(12.5)+Nurse(9.25)+Drai(8.5)+Ekholm(6) = TOTAL 36 million (about10 million LESS than leafs)

Panthers: Barkov(10)+Bob(10)+Tkachuk(9.5)+Ekblad(7.5) = TOTAL 37 million (about 9 million LESS than leafs)


I am absolutely f***ING baffled that some people who claim to be "fans" of this franchise are putting the players above the logo. TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS matters!!! name on the back doesn't especially if it comes with a heavy price tag, media mind games, hissyfit on the bench and a petulant child mindset.

Mitch Marner MUST GTFO. Ideally via trade this offseason and as a UFA next season. We need a change and need it badly!

 

[Rare Jewel]

Tanev even at 6 years ... If he can stay healthy for 3 or 4 of those years

Nah, it's silly. 3 years at most, and even that is too much actually

People said the same thing about Muzzin, and he basically fell apart right away.

 

[Albz]

Is.Domi going to be the first player since forever who actually takes a paycut to just play here????? Under 4m a year is solid

 

[Jozay]

Flop offseason from Treliving so far

 

[Rare Jewel]

4 years at under $4 million isn’t too bad. That’s basically a small raise on what Kerfoot used to make in a new cap environment. And Domi has a personality. Maybe 1 year too long but it is what it is.

It'll likely be the most agreeable thing Tre does.
