Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[rumman]

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.

I completely get why Robertson wants out, the circus isn’t for everyone……..

 

[rumman]

I admire Tampa's decisiveness, but I don't think the changes they've made will make much difference for them. They've suffered too many losses of key players since the championship runs, and I'm not sure Vasi, or Tampa's defense, will return to what they once were. But they also have two Cups and three straight Finals appearances, so they are playing with house money anyway.

I give them credit for teying to improve the team and not run the same old same old. Nothing changes without change and it’s obvious they not content to just challenge for the cup, they want to win it again……..

Hopefully Treliving is taking notes for next summer.

Pizza Boy will do as he’s told………

 

[rumman]

Is Pavelski hanging it up?

Guy’s a class act, he knows when to hang them up………

 

[TMLAM34]

I can see Colorado interested in a Jarnkrok for Colton swap. Saves them about 2 million against the cap and the offensive production isn’t much of a difference. Jarnkrok is also pretty versatile upfront.

 

[rumman]

Samsonov signs with Vegas.

IF, Sammy spends the summer with a psychologist that might be a good signing, his problems were not compete level or indifference, he just mentally can’t keep it together. I hope he figures it out in Vegas…….

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Brad said yesterday that he had a couple of depth signings that will be annouced in the coming hours, I don't know if that was before or after Hakanpää, Jani was signed but either way he said there were a couple so that means more than one.

I wonder if Tarasenko or Vrana are one of those guys because both played for Berube.

I also wonder if a guy like Lilly gets shipped out for a forward because right now they have to many D

Rielly Tanev

OEL McCabe

Benoit Lilly
Hakanpää, Jani
Timmins
Webber

guys that's to many bodies

Even if you send Webber to the Marlies which I'm sure they will do they have 8 guys who have played NHL games.

That is to many, somebody has to go you can't play 8 NHL D men

 

[rumman]

Safe to say we're done?

Do you mean for free agent signings or next season as a whole………

 

[Legion34]

OEL isn’t afraid of his own shadow, so we got that going for us……..


He’s toast, if my wife was sick and I’d lost my father I’d be physically taking it out on the opposition, Brodie…..not so much……

Easy to say from a keyboard. This is embarrassing.

I would just edit and delete this. Really sad.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Sammy signs with Vegas for 1.8mx1.

I expect Sammy will do quite well next season.

 

[rumman]

I think the sizzle is off this Maple Leafs build because of repeat playoff humiliations with no sign the core guys have matured in any way whatsoever. So if you're a forward hoping to bandwagon on a Maple Leafs top six role you know you're in a revolving door contract, get scapegoated for the core guys failures and you're on the road again just like that. Seems like that last batch of good guys in ROR and Schenn really didn't like what they saw. And I don't blame them. I don't like either.

Excellent post……..

Truth hurts, don’t read my posts if you don’t want the truth Skippy……..

 

[rumman]

We’re definitely running it back again. Such a joke

Most likely, sad but true, someone needs to put up a poll and ask what fans now think of Tre. I was giving him some time to prove he wasn’t what Calgary fans warned he was, but unless he pulls a rabbit out of his ass I think he’s just another mgmt puppet……….

 

[Legion34]

Excellent post……..

You pretending to be physically capable of hurting professional athletes if only given the opportunity and faced with personal tragedy is a weird fantasy

There is no truth to any of this

 

[Torontonian]

IMO a perfect free agency would have been:

Tanev @4.5
OEL @3.5
Monahan @5.5
Hakanpaa @1.5
Thompson @0.776

Basically Stolarz vs Logan Thompson is the difference in signing Monahan or not.

View attachment 891252

I think Toronto dropped the ball not getting Thompson, would have helped your cap issues this year running a tandem for under 2m. I know he's a UFA but I'd figure his next contract would have been 3.5m to 4m.

The premium postions in Center and D were outrageous this free agency. Toronto deff needs to find a way to add forward depth through trade or FA.

 

[rumman]

So Hakanpaa might be spending most of the season on LTIR?

Apparently his knee is so bad he might never play again, his signing was a bright spot for me yesterday………

How do you know what I am capable of Skippy?

What a load of crap that snake oil salesman is...same kind of grand vision he had with the Leafs.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss…….

Funny tho.
At the start of the season, 7 is too many, but they say you need 9 for a playoff run.
Realistically, Hakanpaa is coming off injury, and both Tanev/Lili get their share of bumps n bruises. Good bet to get 164 games out of this three headed monster.
Edit to add: Vrana is an interesting gamble actually.

Yes and at the deadlinee you should pick up a couple more D men but up until the deadline 8-9 D men is to many.

at the deadline and going into the playoffs yeash you are going to need 9 guys at least.

right now we need a forward and we have 9 D men

right now something has to give

 

[shortfuze]

Ljiligren as well

why would you trade liljgren?

 

[Jacquestrapless]

they will waive timmins and send webber to the ahl. seems easy enough

 

[57 Years No Cup]

We’re definitely running it back again. Such a joke

New user name? I like it.

 

[rumman]

why would you trade liljgren?

The real question is why wouldn’t you………

New user name? I like it.

Speaking of names, shouldn’t yours now be 58 Years No Cup?

 

[613Leafer]

Shane Pinto as a trade target for 3rd line C? Sounds like he might be available, and he'd really help balance our forward lineup and give us some C depth.

Timmins is getting traded or waived. And Webber is AHL bound.
That leaves 7 which is fine since Tanev will miss games and Hakanpaa is coming off an injury.

The forwards is another matter.

 

[4thline]

Much better start to FA then last years- at least it's pretty clear that Tre looked at our depth chart this time- the "type" of pieces all make sense.

For a management group that's so risk averse when it comes to moving the big guns... oh boy we're rolling the dice. We've got a 4 year window, and we just locked in Tanev and OEL for all of it. If they can deliver..

 

[TMLAM34]

Shane Pinto as a trade target for 3rd line C? Sounds like he might be available, and he'd really help balance our forward lineup and give us some C depth.

He’d be a fantastic get, he’d be my top option with Colton as a backup option.

I would LOVE that but I doubt VERY much the Sens would send him here plus doesn't he need a contract?
