Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[Malachi Crunch]

One of Comtois, Zedina or Raddysh must be due for a breakout. I wonder if Raddysh playing in his hometown changes things.

Edit: nevermind, he’s going to the caps

Oh wow good for him but he's done IMO.

 

[the real Fox mulder]

If we need a forward who is physical and won't cost much, Samuel Blais is available.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Our defense got better, but older.

Goaltending is still a question, but has a lot of potential

Lost scoring in Bertuzzi 20 goals... Not been replaced yet. Also I thought Robertson was gonna be a 20 goal lock. He's also on the way out.

Playing Robertson in the Bertuzzi spot seemed like the easy solution if Berube was willing to try him there.

 

[Gabriel426]

Wow good payday for Brodie considering he looked pretty washed by the end of last season.

Looking at TJ’s deal, the OEL deal looks good

Hawks are just stockpiling even more ammo to dump at the deadline.

Brodie has a very hard time making plays with the puck, which was his bread and butter. His shot is one of the worst I've seen in a long time. He can still move around fine and maybe a fresh start he'll be less of a mess defensively.

Tampa being very practical and keeping any emotional crap on the back burner

Apparently there were couple depth signgings in the pipeline

Brisebois telling it like it is, you can't get too attached to guys in this league. They weren't afraid to do the hard thing by accepting the writing on the wall and making sweeping changes to the core. Trading Sergachev like that was a stone cold killer move that Leafs management just wouldn't do.

 

[JEI]

Feels like a trade has to come at some point. Unless they are just signing Dewar and maybe Robertson? I'm not even sure they have the space to do both..unless they waive Reaves.

 

[BallardEra]

Hawks have money to throw around.

No way Brodie gets that going to a contending team that doesn't have a lot of cap room.

I remember them throwing money around to Perry and Foligno last year too.

I do wonder if Brodie's season was an unfortunate blip based on a mix of personal life struggles (dad's death, wife's ongoing MS etc.) and some injuries. It's crazy how he just fell off a cliff after being so solid for so many years. Might be possible he regains form next year, but regardless the team needed to move on.

The fact that they know Jeannot is a bust and cut lose instead of keep betting that he can improve is already a lesson the Leafs MGT needs to learn.

 

[aingefan]

Does anyone have a list of free agents left that are out there

Capfriendly still does

 

[Shooter2x]

Brodie has a sick bank pass off the boards. Hits the tape every time. Unfortunately that's all he can do well now. Rather have OEL @ 3.5

He started to crater the year before quite a bit, most expected him to bounce back this past season and somehow kept just getting worse and worse.

No idea how he'll do on a much worse team with a much different set of players and expectations. Maybe he improves... I don't know.

Didnt see anything for the other addiitons.


Pretty solid day overall that fills almost all the holes.

Hawks were big spenders this summer. Only $3,852,500 left on the cap.

Edit: nevermind, he’s going to the caps

Comtois could be ok as a PTO invite and see how he does in a bottom role. Zadina just doesn't have the IQ to be an every day top 9 winger. He'll be in Europe soon.

Looks like he lost both a step and quickness in reading the play too. We all get old and I think his time has come.

Liljegren 6.2 ???

Bertuzzi, Brodie and Bedard!

He did very well with mid pair minutes and an increase in responsibility despite the few loud people around here that say he's barely NHL quality. He did well analytically. He's on an upwards trend as a 2-way defenseman. Just needs to stay healthy and improve.

 

[OVO16]

Give me Cal Clutterbuck. This dude had 270 hits last season and somehow played all 82 games.

Dude can probably be had for cheap. Seems like a Playoff type player Berube would like

Yes I get that but that number seems pretty ridiculous.

Interesting to see the gaps in the model compared to fan responses.
