Leafs trade first 2027 Niemela and a second 2026
Vancouver Brock Boeser 50% retained
In this trade Leafs may be giving up too much and I'm not sure if Brock can be converted to a Center
There may be a better player out there that has more term that Leafs could go after. The leafs have two needs another defencemen and a Center or high end winger. I wonder if Toronto regret trading Liljegren but was he capable of being a solid defensive player ?
Who do you guys go after at the trade deadline ?

That's not enough for the top Right wing pending UFA.

The pending UFA thing is negative, not a positive. I’m all for trading for Brock…… Nelson, not Boeser.

Actually my bad. I didn't see the first written before nemiela.

Leafs would first have to determine if they could afford to resign Boeser (UFA) who is going to want $8M - $9M on his new contract.
That or Leafs walk away from Marner and his projected $13M - $14M salary demands this summer.
