Leafs
Barkov
Ekblad
Bob CBO

Fla
Tavares
Nylander
Lilgren
1st round pick

1.) 24 Apr 2020 05:35:40
Buying out Bob alone has to be worth 2 firsts. Only a handful of teams have the finances to do so and they won't want too unless it's massive compensation. That said, your giving FLA way to much. Just a ridiculous overpay.

If you take out the 1st and maybe lilijern I would do this deal.

Leafs trade Reilly and marner
To
Vancouver for Hughes and boeser

Frees up a lot of cap could sign petriangelo then

1.) 29 Mar 2020 18:33:03
As a hockey trade it seems very fair to both teams but in today's NHL the cap hit that Marner and soon what Rielly would want would put the Canucks in the same cap hell as the Leafs are in now.

2.) 29 Mar 2020 18:33:55
No way can does this. Mostly because of Hughes.

3.) 29 Mar 2020 20:08:21
Chabot got $8M. Werenski got $5M. Provorov got $6.75. So price for RFA stud defensemen seems to be scattered. Pretty big gap there between guys like McAvoy and Werenski and what Chabot got. So where do we go from here? What do we see Hughes and Makar re-signed for?

I was using OEL at comparable for Reilly, but I'm not even sure that is a fair comparable anymore. Where do we go from here for free agents, both UFA and RFA? Like is it fair if Hughes and Makar get so many ch more than what guys like Reilly, Klingberg, Jones, etc are making? It's no wonder when contracts come up for renewal the sophomores want huge raises. When the star rookies are getting paid $10M+ coming out of their elc, then an established player deserves more.

This is amazing trade both sides would love it. Marner is best player in the deal but leafs get great value and fix their cap cheers to you what a great trade offer.

Thatâ€™s a trade the leafs have to make redo their salary structure. Trading one of their top 4 and Reilly who wonâ€™t be easy to resign in terms of dollars just a fantastic trade.

6.) 29 Mar 2020 23:02:19
I'm not sure how Marner is the best player in the deal. I would actually argue Reilly and Hughes are both better at their position than Marner.

7.) 30 Mar 2020 01:31:29
Marner is best in trade just has wirst contract.

8.) 30 Mar 2020 13:03:53
Marner is better than Quinn Hughes? Not sure if any non leafs fan agrees there.

9.) 30 Mar 2020 16:51:49
Marner might not be better than Quinn Hughes at his position, but I think Reilly is. That might change in a couple years, but as it is right now, I got to stick with Reilly > Hughes.

Of course, a non-Leafs fan might argue otherwise.

10.) 30 Mar 2020 22:28:04
I agree Reilly probably is right now, a better D. Obviously based on age and contract it would be foolish not to take Hughes over Reilly though.

Just responding to the over-the-top love of Marner some people still have lol. Seems like people in Toronto think he really is a hall of famer right now. Good player? Yes. Top 20 overall in the world? No.

11.) 31 Mar 2020 18:37:22
I think people are finally psyched that Leafs have a guy that is capable of getting 100 points a year. When was the last time we had a player hit 100 points? Gilmour?

I'm not sure why the huge love affair for Marner either. Great player obviously. But not irreplaceable. And he gets paid way too much compared to his peers.

12.) 31 Mar 2020 21:55:47
Dougie and Andreychuk our last 50g 100 point guys. Mathews was on pace for 60. If anything he should be getting more credit than anyone with those numbers not Marner. I also don't see why Nylander couldn't hit 100 pts. He seems to be improving every year and could possibly hit the 40 goal or 100 point mark at far less of a cap hit.

13.) 01 Apr 2020 00:18:57
Nylander was looking real good this year. He almost made up for last year. If we went far in playoffs and he did good, even I could almost forgive him. Almost. Lol.

If Nylander was a 30-35 goal scorer and 70-80 point player year in and year out, those numbers would be in line with Mats Sundin numbers for his career. Nylander can be the next bald swede we all love here in T. O.

Tavares marner to Edmonton for Mac use cap space to get someone else in free agency

1.) 19 Feb 2020 13:26:53
Doesn't Tavares have a full no trade?

2.) 19 Feb 2020 13:27:03
Doesn't Tavares have a full no trade?

3.) 19 Feb 2020 13:51:08
I would do it don't think Edmonton would and Edmonton would have to free up around 8mill to make it work.

4.) 19 Feb 2020 16:46:33
Iâ€™d rather just trade Marner for a 1RHD and a replacement winger that is either cheaper and/ or younger with lots of upside.

5.) 19 Feb 2020 17:33:09
Agree LeafsGm. If Marner can bring a top 4 D and a top 6 winger even if they aren't of his Calibre it solves pretty well every issue immediately. 11m comes off the cap, get you defenceman and get a guy back that isn't is a good if not great player but scoring wouldn't be an issue even if Marner left.

6.) 19 Feb 2020 20:56:03
Wait if Marner can bring a top 4 RHD, he most certainly would. The Leafs would be dumb to trade Marner. It's not Marner, Matthews, Tavares or Nylander for that matter that are the problems.

7.) 19 Feb 2020 21:43:28
I agree with Torontobuds our top guys have been putting up points we need to look at our bottom six and our blue line the leafs either need to go for it or not at all I think we will see where we stand by Saturday.

8.) 19 Feb 2020 22:13:44
Marner, Matthews, Tavares are the problem because they make way too much. They are the three highest paid players in the league right now in terms of real dollars, and at $11M a year are only three of a half dozen players to ever break the $10M barrier. In other words, we have three of the highest paid players of all time on the roster currently. Thatâ€™s what is preventing us from bringing in the bottom six support we need. So they actually are the problem.

9.) 19 Feb 2020 23:58:43
Trading Marner is the dumbest thing I've ever read, he's more consistent then Matthew's and he's just as important to this teams success as AM so many people don't see it yet, but his contract is going to be well worth it, he's also the heart of the team and this team has no heart right now so getting rid of the only heart on the team makes no sense either, Marner is a point machine he leaves Toronto mark mu words you will regret it.

Plus a 3rd Franchise center where do they all play and you loose your best Winger arguably best player and definitely best playmaker, sure Mcdavid replaces that but he's not gunna set up a lot more then Marner he's not going to play a whole lot more defensive then marner your essentially getting a couple extra goals not much. Now Marner and JT for Mcdavid?

That's a major over payment 2 Franchise guys for 1 franchise guy, I get that he's supposed to be the best in the game [ I still think that's Crosby] but now you've got a hole in your roster and you've made Edmonton better, Edmonton wins that deal they get a franchise center to replace Mcdavid who can play make very well and score you 40 goals and another guy who's going to score you 30 and his play making ability almost matches the guy you traded.

Wed loose that trade big time. Now Dubas will not Trade any of the big 6 those being Matthew's, Marner, Tavares, Rielly, Nylander, Anderson. But I wouldn't be opposed to seeing a Mcdavid deal being done using Nylander, Nylander is not as good as Marner and Mcdavid is a major upgrade on him, you add in maybe Kappy and then Bracco maybe a few other prospects and picks if it takes that much, now that's a deal that wed win and that would make us better. Marner for Mcdavid would not be worth it.
