Hope they are playing so well, none are needed. But, another quality D man would be good.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Got to add a dman, who can play real defence, protect Soupy, block shots and play pk. We have enough skaters who join the rush and stick check. It would be nice to be top 4 but a strong 5 would help.

 

[Anthrax442]

Ben Chiarot would be nice to start

From multiple sources Leafs are looking for a player with term. I think the Leafs/Dubas 2021 trade deadline "Something for Nothing" tour last year where they gave up 6 pics for short term purposes has been a lesson learned.

• Josh Manson (currently injured) - UFA - but good defender with an edge.
• Jacob Chycryn - has term, currently having a crap year but has historically been a good defender. Makes me wonder if he was good because he was good or if he was good because he had OEL?
• JT Miller, has term was one of a few Canucks who had a great season in a bad situation. Love this guy ever since he played with Tampa

All have cap implications but then again anyone who we bring in has cap implications.

Manson would be nice. Exactly what we need.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I would prefer to ante up for a 1.5 year or more player like Miller or Chychrun. Failing that maybe a cheap depth addition like Brassard or perhaps a reclamation project like Myers with Holl/Ritchie/Dermott going the other way.

But spending a 1st or 2nd on another rental, pass.

 

[francis246]

Klingberg, Miller, Manson, Luke Schenn

the last 3 are probably realistic. But I think Klingberg would be the best fit along side Muzzin. Highly mobile, puck moving defenseman. He would improve our PP even more whether it’s unit 1 or two. Our PP struggles in the playoffs

 

[Maplebeasts]

Can we please not trade for Manson. Dude is straight dookie.

 

[ACC1224]

Not sure but I expect that whoever is obtained will be the perfect player added at the perfect time.

We need a d-man
Move Dermott, Ritchie and perhaps Mik

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

I just don't want to pay a premium for someone whose injured

 

[wingman75]

#4 defenceman who can play in the 3,4,5,6 slot. Someone with some size, physicality (i.e. a cycle stopper) and an at least average first pass.
#7 defenceman of the same ilk as above realizing they would only be able to play in the 5,6,7 slot.

No first round picks sent out. Can give away players. No players coming back from injuries.

 

[X66]

For me goal/dynamic scorer over dman.

BUT I'm not totally against Dman, and would welcome it if it was the right piece.

Goal scoring has been the biggest weakness for us in the last 3 series.

Florida has much better names on the back end than us(to the untrained eye) but as a team, we play better defensively.

The Leafs are actually a solid defensive TEAM(forwards included), which is why I want the forward more.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

#4 defenceman who can play in the 3,4,5,6 slot. Someone with some size, physicality (i.e. a cycle stopper) and an at least average first pass.
#7 defenceman of the same ilk as above realizing they would only be able to play in the 5,6,7 slot.

No first round picks sent out. Can give away players. No players coming back from injuries.

100% agreed .. here here .. playoffs come down to having 3 lines and 2 sets of D and a couple specialists on 4th line and 3rd pair .. and a hot tender ..

Bunting - Matty - Wayner
Mik - JT - Mitch
Kerfoot - Kampf - Willy

Rielly- Brodie
Muzzy - ???

[AvroArrow]

Josh Manson. Big RHD who's a physical presence. We will need a big body like that for the playoffs. Muzzin is injury prone and our only physical D. We need a guy to punish the opponents and keep the front of the net clear. We may be able to get him a little cheaper with his injury. No team stays completely healthy in the playoffs. If we make a deep run, we will likely lose at least 1 D-man. I want to bolster the top 4 D more than a top 6 LW. Mikheyev looks like he can fill the void as our LW.

Also we need to make this roster into a cup favorite. We will be playing Florida or Tampa. Forget about a deep run, we need to be able to compete and beat those teams. This roster won't get it done against Tampa. Against Florida maybe, but if we end up playing the Bolts (which if we want to make a run we will have to at some point) we'll get killed with this current roster. Not that it isn't good, but Tampa has one of the best rosters post-lockout.

 

[29Potvin]

DeMelo
Hakanpää
Radulov
Holtby
Trade Holl,Derm,Petr, Ritchie and picks and prospects if needed

Bunt-AM34-MM
SOUP-JT-RADS
WILLY-FOOTY-KASE
SIMMER/ENG-KAMPF-SPEZZA

Soild top to bottom

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Ideally a good top 4 RHD with playoff experience.

But a good, versatile top 6 LWer would be nice too (i.e. Miller, Giroux).

 

[TMLAM34]

To Toronto: J.T. Miller (50% retained)
To Vancouver: Alex Kerfoot + Nick Robertson + 2023 1st Round Draft Pick

Cap Savings: 875k


To Toronto: Connor Murphy + Marc-Andre Fleury (50% retained)
To Chicago: Petr Mrazek + Travis Dermott + Nick Ritchie + Roni Hirvonen

Cap Savings: 450k


Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Miller - Tavares - Nylander
Mikheyev - Kampf - Kase
Engvall - Spezza - Simmonds

Rielly - Murphy
Muzzin - Brodie
Sandin - Liljegren/Holl

Campbell - Fleury


I honestly think that is a true Stanley Cup contending roster. Ideally we’d use the cap savings in acquiring a better 4th line center but I’ll just leave it as those two moves.

 

[UglyPuckling]

Not sure but I expect that whoever is obtained will be the perfect player added at the perfect time.

Yep.

Ya, the playoffs will be the real test for this team. Let's see what happens this year & hope for the best.

 

[Stigma]

Go big: Chychrun.

Don't forget how young he is (23). He's already quite poised for that age. His defensive skills will just get even better with time.

Pay the big price for him.

Second choice - Manson or Soucy

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Lindholm from Anaheim
Hagel from Chicago
Mrazek to Buffalo for a couple 3rd rounders
To Toronto
Lindholm

To Anaheim
2022 1st
Sandin
Ritchie

To Toronto
Hagel

To Chicago
2023 2nd
Kerfoot
Kral

Bunting Matthews Nylander
Hagel Tavares Marner
Mikheyev Kampf Kase
Engvall Spezza Simmonds

Rielly Brodie
Lindholm Holl
Muzzin Liljegren

Campbell
Woll

Thats ideally what I'd like as unlikely as it is. Lindholm would have to agree to resign at most 7x7.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Only thing on my list is no stupid trades, and no major assets (1st, 2nd, notable prospects) for rentals.

Could care less if we do nothing as a result, but there are some smart moves we can make to help out the team without making a stupid trade.
