Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[ULF_55]

If Liljegren really has played his way into the doghouse already there’s no point in keeping him as the 7th defenseman at $3 million AAV. He’s a RHD that has good advanced stats, that’s valuable. If Willy at centre is done too the best option is to try to get a similarly aged and priced middle-six Centreman for him.

I still think Liljegren has got more to give but I can’t force Berube and the Leafs to like him or play him.

Let's hope for a win-win situation.

Maybe Cowan works out, that would be a win-win in the Sandin trade.

It looks like Jett Luchanko has at least made opening night for the Flyers but they seem to have an abundance of centres regardless.

I wonder about a Cates - Liljegren based swap.

Cates was an idea I liked for Robertson back in August.

Dont mind what Tre has done as a whole but his willingness and lack of judgement on term for mediocre players is very concerting. Kampf for 4 years. Reaves 3 years. McCabe for 5 years is fine but he simply can’t couple it with OEL.

He extended Lily a few months ago. Now he is a 8 or waived? Personally i am not a fan of adding Patches Hope I am wrong but this team is getting older fast

$5m for a guy for a guy who is best suited to a 3rd pair and has hard time cracking 20 points is a pass for me.

I love McCabe. Plays with snarl and takes things personally out there, will do anything for his teammates. Leafs need more of that profile, but at the end of the day on a contender, he's best suited on the 3rd pair and should be paid accordingly. I don't like the numbers/term being thrown around here. I could live with it if we didn't already have Tanev and OEL locked up for an eternity. Rielly's no spring chicken anymore either.

McCabe is a 2nd pair Dman on a good team. He proved that last year. I can’t see him signing for under $5m Aav, and is currently at $4m.
