Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[dubplatepressure]

How about a trade involving Liljegren (3 m) to Montreal along with some prospects for Mike Matheson (4.875)

Liljegren appears to align better with Montreal's timeline, and Matheson seems to fit the leafs win now mode. We could sweeten the deal by including a promising prospect.

I'm uncertain of Matheson's defence but he put up 60 points on the back end and he has some good size.

I'd rather Jack McBain - solid bottom-9 C with plenty of size, great cap hit for 2 more years, Toronto boy, still has some upside, and is playing behind Hayton and Cooley over there. Would slot 3C for us. Lilly can go play top-4 minutes for Zona and test his upside.

Lunch Break at work: just logging into see if we had signed any depth pieces based on Tre's interview yesterday.

Looks like nothing yet huh

He may have meant that some of the deals are not officially announced yet such as Hakanpaa and Murray. I suspect they have physicals/medicals today to ensure all is good. Dreger apparently mentioned Mason Shaw as well. I don't feel like Treliving is very active on social media to know what's known or not.

The announced deals are OEL, Tanev, Domi, Liljegren and Woll so far.

Treliving did also say unprompted that they have a lot more work to do.

i continue to maintain that keller+ for marner is the best outcome for us.

Why?

1) Keller could potentially play as a centre (yes he's played RW for the last 7 years but still gives us optionality in a pinch).
2) 3 years at 7.125M which is a steal
3) he's put up 86 and 76 pts with 37 and 33 goals the last two years. With less focus on him and more on matthews and a winger like nylander or knies and a better PP here he could be 85pts+ here consistently.
4) He can pk
5) we save 4M to spend on another top 4 guy LIKE ross in a trade.

Why would they trade Keller+ for Marner?

According to your description, which I agree with, Keller is pretty much equal to Marner (bit less points, more goals, PK) while being younger and significantly cheaper.

Dawg.... Who cares. I'm not in make a gm mode. That's on them

Daniel Sprong is still out there. We’re looking for more goals, that’s one thing he does really well.

What about a flyer on Tyler Johnson as a depth Center option?

 

[rumman]

Your father didn’t last.
I don’t mean that as a slight or to be rude, but the tough times don’t last tough people do don’t is a throw away line that I’m sure you found on Facebook. Tough times do absolutely last for some.

The saying is referring to the person going through the tough times (Brodie) not his father not being tough enough to not die. I’m befuddled how you can’t interpret this age old adage properly………

How is Sprong on the defensive side of the puck and how is his IQ?

Just curious if he is another version of Kapanen/Grabner or if there is potential to have him meshing with a line.

Awful defensively - always been his knock.

We need skilled winger. Though not good in SJ last year, I would most def give a 1 year show me deal to Zadina. I think he would shine offensively with us.

You bringing up Zadina means you’ve never watched him play.

Cap wise, it's probably not doable at this time.

But from reading a few posts from the trade board, he can really frustrate coaches with his play; I assume they mean in his own end.

I mean, there's gotta be a reason why a guy with that much talent and ability to score still can't find a consistent home.

Colorado signed Brannstrom to a 1 year 900k deal. That's a very good low risk gamble.

Dude is another Mete

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Awful defensively - always been his knock.

He wasn't that bad in Seattle but he was mostly on a line with Tanev and Geekie.

We have plenty of guys in the bottom 6 that could support him.

A Domi-Holmberg-Sprong line would be interesting. Playmaker, Defensively responsible guy, sniper.

Yep he's a fast and skilled winger. But inconsistent and not the best physically or in his own end. But he's a solid 40+ point winger that can give you around 20 goals. I wouldn't pay much more than what Vegas paid to get Olofsson, which is probably not fair considering his production last 2 seasons.

 

[1specter]

Colorado signed Brannstrom to a 1 year 900k deal. That's a very good low risk gamble.

Knowing Sakic and Colorado, Brannstrom will somehow turn into a 50 pt d-man and make Girard expendable, who will then be traded for a good scoring winger or goalie.

Looks like Tre is resting on the second day.

 

[Fogelhund]

Ok, so it's only July 2nd.... but I'm not overly thrilled, or optimistic as to what we've done. I love the additions to the D, if it were 6-8 years ago.... but here we are. I like Tanev, OEL is kind of meh, and overpaid. Hakanpaa was good at one point... we shall see how the knee and his game recovers.

I do like the Domi and Lilly signings.

But no trades... no new forwards... nothing's changed there at all.

I guess I'm kind of underwhelmed at this point. Is there any indication that we've got some cooking going on, to change some of what's up front?

Trev indicated they'd like to add up front and they have some depth to fill out .. he's gauging the trade market right now

I think this is one area where Treveling has not shown any chops. He needs to do something on this front. 3C would be swell. Grittier 4th line too please. Team speed? PK forward?

I’m not judging anything until the season starts.

If all the D stay healthy and play like they did last season (not including Lilly) they should be fine. The real question is can that even a realistic possibility?

He hasn’t had any time to make changes, summer of 28 will be the first offseason where we REALLY get to see what Tre can do.

What's the rush?

 

[OVO16]

Jarnkrok + Robertson + Connor Timmins (if they want some defensive depth) for Ross Colton. Should be cap savings for Colorado

Trade Kampf to Anaheim for a late future pick. Straight salary dump

Sign Clutterbuck

Domi - Mathews - Marner
Knies - Tavares - Nylander
McMann - Colton - Holmberg
Clutterbuck - Dewar - Reaves

 

[Rare Jewel]

I could see Girard going now.
