Your Deadline Addition Wishlist

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Clear mental minds that don't inhibit the team's talent and ability when it matters most. That will be more significant than any deadline addition.

Another top 4 D would be nice too.
 
No reclamation acquisitions !!! No rentals using our precious draft picks. If available, acquire a real defensive, hard nosed D using current roster players.
 
It's more a matter of expectation than it is 'wishlist' for me, but I think the aim will be to add a defenceman of some quality (someone who can play in some of the games at the very least, and all the way up to someone who can play in the top four at best).
 
One or maybe two bigger d-men who are comfortable and effective playing on the 3rd pair every 2nd/3rd/4th game. I'm not convinced Sandin, Liljgren and Dermott can win us a Cup playing every game.
 
Trade deadline always makes me nervous as the GM mortgages the future and empties the draft pick cupboard.

Nick Foligno, Riley Nash, David Rittich, and Ben Hutton was last years TD haul and it left the Leafs with only 3 draft picks and virtually no return on investment.

Leafs 3rd, 4th, 5th 6th and possibly 7th are already dealt away from this 2022 draft leaving only Leafs 1st and 2nd standing at present.

Hopefully the same mistakes will not be made again, and if they do deal a high pick away again its for a better return in the present and some residual value in the future.

Leafs really need a top 4/2nd pairing Dman that can play big minutes and push Holl into the bottom pairing is my top wish list request to hopefully go far in the playoffs this year.

Yup and we all now about Foligno (and yet they wanted to re-sign him), Nash barely played and looked done, Hutton - did he even play?
 
A depth center for the AHL & a decent RHD (or can play either side)

Manson or Chariot for less than a 1st or top prospect would be nice, or even Manson for 1st + Ritchie.

Chychrun, Severson or Mayfield would be even better if they could reasonably pull those off.
 
Arizona will be a yard sale at the deadline and offseason. They are basically bankrupt
 
They could just run it & go small with some cheap depth adds, preferably with term or pending RFA like Luke Schenn, Lauzon, Weatherby

(Luke Schenn, Pateryn, Braun, Lauzon...)

(Weatherby, Paul, Johansson...)

They definitely shouldn't be going all in like they did this past TDL

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.

So you don't want to get better
 
I feel like it's going to be Schenn.

Talks for weeks about Miller, nothing comes from it, all of a sudden Schenn as depth.

Not the worst. He was helpful for TB.

They didn't go all in at last year, they kept every prospect that they had, you can't go all in and not trade a single prospect.

Their prospect pool is better now then it was last year because now they have Matthews Knies and he's killing it.

Are you hoping for another trade deadline like last year?

NHL trade deadline winners, losers

In case you didn't know, now you do: the Maple Leafs are all in.

GM Kyle Dubas snagged forward depth (Stefan Noesen, Riley Nash, Antti Suomela), defensive depth (Ben Hutton), goaltending depth (David Rittich) and a versatile veteran forward who not only has a strong defensive game but can put the puck in the net no matter where he plays in the lineup (Nick Foligno).

The cost a 1st, 2 x 3rd, 2 x 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th round draft picks.

If that is the cost, and that the return, then doing nothing might be the preferable outcome. :)

I don't really understand the fascination with Chiarot. He is really just A Guy.

I think the biggest need is another quality top-four defenceman. But the ones with term will be very expensive, and the other options are all flawed. A guy like Josh Manson is still living off the reputation of a couple of years ago...he has slowed down and declined. Klingberg would fit with how the Leafs play, but isn't someone to take tough matchups and would be relegated to PP2, diminishing his utility. I like Severson, and he has another year left, but that doesn't introduce more cap complications.

The Leafs have a lot of forward depth. I don't think they need an addition there. If it's a forward they add, it needs to be a very high-end player (like a Miller or Hertl), but again, that's going to be very expensive.
 
If the ducks fall out, and they could there are a lot of teams with A LOT of games in hand, I'd have interest in all their UFA Manson, Lindholm, Rakell and Getzlaf.

From Dallas obviously I want Klingberg but I'd be pushing hard for Pavelski too.

Seattle I'm on the Giordano train and if Muzzin is out I'm really on the Giordano train.

I'd call on Giroux too, because I do feel like this team needs 1 more top 6 forward because every team that wins has at least 1 guy on the 3rd line capable of being in the top 6.

Basically I'd be in on everybody.

I think we might see Dubas go all in too.

Because if progress isn't made he might not be back

I do want them to go all in, and I think they might because I think Dubas job is on the line.

I also don't believe that just because Foligno failed last year that means you get lazy and sit on your ass this year.
