Just a minor trade here wondering what everyone thinks...Looking at Flyers in regards to who they might have to protect and they might have an issue with who they can protect on defense:

To Flyers:
Liljegren
3 or 4th round pick

to Leafs:
Myers

No. Need to keep Liljigren. It's impossible to keep this roster together without people like him making league minimum.

10 Mar 2020 16:08:51
Myers is making less at the moment and in my opinion more advanced and a bigger body.

10 Mar 2020 17:26:53
But then who do Leafs protect? We would have Reilly, Dermott, Muzzin's, Myers, Holl all signed past next year. So we end up losing Myers or Holl, plus Liljegren.

10 Mar 2020 17:57:20
Myers isn't draft eligible is he? I figured neither he nor Lili would be.

Myers makes less but if memory serves he is an RFA after one year Lili isn't.

10 Mar 2020 18:02:45
I believe Myers will be draft eligible. I would then protect Rielly. Muzzin and Myers. trade Dermott possibly in a package for a forward more like Hyman. that plays with more grit.

10 Mar 2020 19:07:45
If a forward comes back it's the same issue though. MNM+Tavares obviously protected then you have Hyman, Kapanen, Johnson, Kerfoot. You don't want to lose anyone for nothing and can't protect everyone.

10 Mar 2020 21:02:59
Dermott would be part of a package including Johnsson or Kerfoot or whoever else. so no not the same issue. purpose of the trade is to try and find a RD.

11 Mar 2020 01:31:51
Liljegren and Sandin are exempt from the expansion draft. Dermott is not exempt.

11 Mar 2020 01:40:05
Myers is draft eligible because he has played more than 10 games last year and this year. So both those years count. Liljegren and Sandin has no NHL experience prior to this year, so they don't need protecting.

Is Myers a true 1RHD? I don't think he is much better than Holl, if any. In the long run Liljegren will be the better player is my guess.

11 Mar 2020 02:18:11
Your post says it's to get a forward in a package for Dermott not a RD? lol.

11 Mar 2020 15:18:21
Leafslife. my post says nothing about trading Dermott to get a forward. my original post was to try to acquire a more advanced young RD as they seem to be harder to get and we don't have any in the minors. I know Liljegren is RD but I feel Myers is an upgrade and is also the big bodied type everyone seems to think we need more of.

11 Mar 2020 16:17:22
Trade Dermott possibly in a package for a forward. Your exact words. I didn't just make it up lol.

11 Mar 2020 17:18:03
ya. but that was not my original trade proposal. I was not trying to fix the forwards at the moment just trying to acquire a RD. when someone mentioned Dermott I suggested he could be traded off as part of another package. never gave details on what that might be cause heaven for bid if people don't jump for joy at every suggestion you or LeafsGM make then a deal made by anyone else here is garbage. get off your high horses boys. this is supposed to be a fun discussion. not just dump all over a suggestion that was not made by you.

11 Mar 2020 18:15:33
Scroll up and down. Their have been a few very interesting proposals lately I have commented on. 16, LHD, Randy and many others have had some very good talking points as of late. Issue with you specifically is the need to call people dumb constantly. Even Kennedy (no offence Kennedy) comes out with some blockbuster gems that keep the conversation flowing.

Would rather listen to redwing than you as he may troll most of the time but he actually knows what he's talking about.

12 Mar 2020 00:42:53
Whatever Leafslife…. all I ever see you do is crap all over others suggestions. Do me a favour and stop replying to my posts if you think they are so bad. and what's with your love affair or Dermott. seriously. you talk about him like he's the second coming of Neidermeyer.

12 Mar 2020 11:44:12
Dermott is a good player. He doesn't get enough credit because Sandin is younger and Reilly is our 1D.
