Leafs trade Reilly, Dermott
Rangers trade Fox, Miller

Tough call. We save a few bucks. Hope Miller turns out better than Dermott and maybe even Fox turns out better than Reilly.

Rangers are strong RHD and not nearly as strong LHD. They still have DeAngelo and Trouba after this deal. Reilly and Dermott are better than Miller and Fox are currently. That may change. Or it may not.

It's medium risk/ high reward. Leafs give up the better players for the younger and cheaper guys. We balance our defense in the process and strengthen the back end. As a result we are better overall.

Muzzin/ Fox
Lehtonen/ Holl
Sandin/ Liljegren
*Miller, Rosen, Marincin.

The Rangers would still have to add. Miller is unproven and although Fox good we have no idea if he will be better than Reilly.

31 May 2020 03:19:58
Wouldn't do this. If Reilly goes then I would want to keep Dermott. Just as a general rule. Lehtonen is on a one year deal and Dermott/ Sandin can be the top 4 LHD for many years to come.

Also your betting a lot on a 26 year old defenceman with very little depth behind him if he doesn’t pan out. Liljgren and Sandin as a pairing is a little, well scary to say the least. Both are still very inexperienced at the NHL level and although they help with the cap, it is just too much of a risk to put those two on a pairing.

Holl and Fox only have 1 year of experience, and they would have the second and third most games played among top 6 defenceman in your lineup.

Overall the blue line is just way too inexperienced to move forward, I don’t see the leafs risking taking a step backward in that category, especially not now.

With the fact we give up the better players now nyr add. Maybe strip them of georgiev in this deal.

I figured trading both Dermott and Rielly was gutting the LHD too much. Reilly is a rental+1 which is why i feel that the trade for Fox is fair. Dermott for Miller may be a little much, I agree.

I have every confidence in Fox to be a top defenseman going forward. He was hyped almost as much as Makar and Hughes going into this year, and for good reason. He's obviously a very good player. BYR can't keep all their RHD. Or goalies. So if throwing Georgiev in cements the deal, then Leafs should do it.

Yes georgiev would be a great add then we can have three goalies. thumbs up!

No mph. We would still only have two goalies. Andersen would be getting traded after. He's useless in the playoffs anyway. Add to that the fact that he is older and a pending UFA and the fact that he can't save a pick any ore in the regular season, and he's prime candidate to be traded anyway. I've given up on Andersen. I've come to believe the team will never win a cup with him in net. He's soft, just like the rest of the team.

Lol. Hockeylvr
There is NO
Mention of Anderson getting traded . Until you mention it after my post. double thumbs up.

01 Jun 2020 20:30:29
That's because I didn't mention Georgiev on the original post, it was a response to a comment. And I figured it would be obvious that if Georgiev came in, either Andersen or Campbell would be getting traded. Do I really have to spell it out for you.

Now that you got those two thumbs up, you stick one in your mouth and suck on it and stick the other one somewhere else it will fit.

Go Leafs.

I disagree Anderson is useless in the playoffs. He didn't perform badly last year.
