Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[francis246]

I figure the Leafs will want in on at least one top 4 D and a good quality center to take some pressure off of Tavares.

Here are 14 D and 7 center's available in free agency.

1. Brett Pesce
2. Chris Tanev
3. Matt Roy
4. Brady Skjei
5. Nikita Zadorov
6. Brenden Dillon
7. Brandon Montour
8. Ryan Lindgren
9. Joel Edmundson
10. Sean Walker
11. Hakapnpaa
12. OEL
13. Grzelcyk
14. Matt Dumba

1. Chandler Stephenson
2. Sean Monahan
3. Elias Lindholm
4. Adam Henrique
5. Matt Duchene
6. Jonathan Toews
7. Alex Wennberg

Would love to see Matt Duchene as a Toronto Maple Leaf

I’d prefer Nylander to Reinhart still.

 

[ToneDog]

Is it mere folly to wish for Zadorov and Montour?

Starting to feel that way. Expect nothing and Tre might surprise us.

 

[Americanadian]

Why should we be disappointed? We can’t do anything about state income tax.

Taxes don’t make up that difference. Even if they did - is that what Leafs fans are going to use an excuse for bad contracts?

This is the first I've heard Stolarz connected to TOR.

I thought they were pushing for Brossoit.

Anyone hear anything more about Parron or DeBrusk?

Well yes they do. Nylanders take home is right around the same as Reinharts take home after taxes. I actually don’t mind the Nylander deal. I think at 11.5 he’s paid appropriately. Back to back 40 goal seasons. Was severely underpaid on his last contract. It’s a tad rich but for what he brings and a rising cap it makes sense.

Florida teams absolutely have an unfair advantage when it comes to contracts. It is something the league should look into because you can keep contracts lower in no tax states

Nylander takes home 6M, Reinhart 5M. CapFriendly has a tax tool: William Nylander Income Tax Calculator Results - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

11.5M for Nylander is a severe overpayment. He's the 2nd highest paid winger in the league.

Wow, what a bizarre dream. The Leafs gave Lily 3 million and then Tanev got 5 so we had no money left! Domi at 3.5. How much cap we got left?

Forwards:
For me, Lindholm is the gold star, two-way #2c for the immediate future. Almost inconceivable to make a forward the most costly addition this year, but the fit is perfect. Firms a second line for a long time. His projected AAVis all over the place, with reports as high as 8/8+, but that’s a bit ridiculous. 7 sounds right after an off year offensively.
Playing along Willy in a strong hockey market would be appealing I’d think?
Then there’s Stephenson, Monahan, both would be okay, but not the same fit for me. Wennberg would be a discount light version of Lindholm .
Michael McLeod is an interesting not-qualified guy. Local kid, RHC, decent scoring rate. My sleeper for today…..would like this dude on a short deal to see what’s up.
Jack Roslovic might wanna come play on AM’s wing, should be a reasonable sign and a capable C. Also a favorite sleeper.
Wingers….so many still. I’d wait til day two and shop then unless there’s a guy wanting to be here on the min….Raddysh a sneaky option. Skinner if he takes a bath on AAV to play on a playoff team. Barely need any anyhow, unless they’ve got some C experience.

Outgoing: bonuses are paid….so if there *IS* a Marner deal, do it soon so you can use the money.
I think a market for Kampf and Jarnkrok opens up in a couple days, when the pool thins some.

Edit to add: sone insiders suggested that Perron was a sone deal. But, where is he supposed to play? Serious question.

Still think Florida is gonna regret that contract a few years in. Don’t see him repeating this season



Why should we be disappointed? We can’t do anything about state income tax.

Actually Reinhart is probably worth about $7.5-8M, so it's not a terrible deal.

Let's just not call it a steal and compare him to Nylander.

 

[darrylsittler27]

Do we even have the cap once we sign Tanev? Lily got 3!

This has to be one of my fav south park scenes. First time I saw this I legit laughed for hours.

Based on what?

 

[Tony Romo]

Based on all the seasons where he didn't shoot 25%.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Stolarz is probably my top goalie choice.. but I’m scared about what Trev might give him

 

[al secord]

DO SOMETHING!

 

[Puckstuff]

Is it mere folly to wish for Zadorov and Montour?

Not impossible but that seems unlikely without any other moves.

I'm thinking it's going to be

1. Tanev,
2. Either a top 4 D or good 3C. Maybe Henrique or Dillon tier rather then Montour or Pesce tier.
3. Stolarz/Cheap goalie

When I look at the cap, that extra 500 k- 1 m overpayment to Liljegren really hurts a lot.

 

[stickty111]

The Kampf contract looks more questionable with each day.

 

[TheDoldrums]

https://x.com/i/web/status/1807756101980471724

Chicago gonna take Bert and our presumed top goalie target?

I'd be fine with Broissoit too, I think they're pretty interchangeable.

Okay, so I was correct. Nylander is miles better than Reinhart. Reinhart will not replicate 50+ goals again lol
