GDT: Trades & Free Agency Thread - post expansion list

[Minty Cowboy]

Not sure Robertson will make the team. Suffered a knee injury and spent a short time in the AHL and is only 19. May need more time, next year will have a lot of pressure

He'll be 20 when the season starts. But still it depends more or less on off season acquisitions as well.

Definitely hard to gauge after the last season but I have high hopes for him.

It would be a godsend if he is ready, an ECL in our top 9 makes putting a team together miles easier from a cap perspective

 

[Morgs]

Is Kerfoot even a worse player than Kadri? I mean, Kadri is louder and a lot more fun. Kerfoot makes 1M less, is significantly better defensively, and their production is relatively similar when you take into account minutes played. The trade happened, we lost. Get over it. It wasn't egregious then, it's not a huge loss today.

it all depends on his strength ...if he can handle that, he's ready, but, not sure his body is ready (or even capable), even though he may think he is.

I wouldnt say Kerfoot is significantly better defensively than Kadri

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Kerfoot served us very well in the playoffs. Hard to argue that Kerfoot has better hands than Kadri; but that doesn't really matter. He did well, and most of us will be sad to see him go

I mean, you don't have to say it, but it's true.

Marner for Tkachuk. Fill in the pieces both ways.

Marner for Tkachuk. Fill in the pieces both ways.

Tkachuk would need a long extension to make that trade workable.

 

[Puckstuff]

Instead of signing two players at 3.0 we could go 4.5-5 m for Danault, league min or 900 k for Chuck, then the rest goes to Bogosian+ back up goalie. Danault is elite. An Engvall-Danault-Mikheyev shutdown line would be ridiculous. Say what you want about Mikheyev he can skate like crazy and defend and Engvall with his speed and 6'5 long reach shutdown McDavid in back to back games on that Hyman-Engvall-Mikheyev line last year. 3 big players over 200 pounds and each can still score 12-15 goals but they would used in a shutdown role.


Galchenyuk-Matthews-Nylander
Robertson-Tavares-Marner
Engvall-Danault-Mikheyev - 3rd line shut down pair.
McCaan-Spezza-Simmonds - 4th line secondary scoring.

Flip Gally and McCann and not too bad even though we are still too soft IMO.

I’ll pay for his cab to the airport after a couple months of Tkachuk it’ll be mariner who

I like the idea of Danault, but McCann is either 3C or top-6 LW based on his play the last two seasons.

 

[Stephen]

Wonder if a third team will ask Seattle to take Carey Price with some retention in exchange for a decent package?

Price would have to re-waive his clause though.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Would you go after Bernier? LOL.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I like Tkachuk but I'm not interested in his 9 AAV qualifying offer. If he were willing to re-up long-term at 8ish it would be a different story.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Marner for Tkachuk. Fill in the pieces both ways.

Big ups.

Tkachuk + Monahan
For
Marner + Rielly + Kerfoot

Tkachuk - Matthews - Nylander (potential to be unreal)
Tavares - Monahan - Robertson (Tavares less responsibility, setup man)
(Revamped bottom 6)

Muzzin - Brodie
Sandin - Hamilton
Dermott - Holl

 

[New Liskeard]

Apparently his nickname is "Haula Famer" cause he has such a high opinion of himself. Maybe we need that kind of personality.[/QUOTE

 

[Kurtz]

May I get in on this fantasy theory-crafting?

How about an all-in scenario:

Seattle takes Kerfoot. Sign Landeskog 7/50. Trade: Amirov, 1st, Dermott to Phoenix for Garland and Kuemper 50% retained. Trick Garland into accepting a $2m deal. Trade Engvall for a 7th.

Landeskog-Matthews-Marner
Garland-Tavares-Nylander
Mikey-McCann- Robertson
Simmonds-Spezza-Nash (vet min)

Morgan-Brodie
Muzzin-Hall
Sandin-Lil'

Kuemper
Campbell

Comes in about a buck under the cap - we carry 20.

Now, what do we do the year after when we have no caproom and no goalies? Mind your business, that's what.

I see a max 7 million player when I see Tkatchuk.

 

[SprDaVE]

I'm going to guess Michael Bunting will be among the players targetted when free agency hits as well. Could be a very good depth player to have and Dubas knows him well. He'd be a big upgrade on players like Vesey and probably Boyd that were here.

Bogo is signing with a US team, Leafs can’t afford him anyways.
