What does everyone think about a Nylander for Guentzel trade? We save a little cap space and Guentzel would shine on Toronto
Hyman/ Matthews/ Guentzel
Mikheyev/ Tavares/ Marner
Robertson/ Kerfoot/ Simmonds
Engvall/ Thornton/ Spezza

Rielly/ Brodie
Muzzin/ Holl
Lekhonen/ Dermott

Freddy
Campbell.

I’m sure Pittsburgh says no way.

Here is another Nylander trade. If he's so great why is he always put on the block?


3.) 23 Oct 2020 03:47:26
Nylander is owed less money even though his cap hit is higher. Toronto is one of the few teams that will spend as much as they can and take advantage of other teams trying to shed real money.


4.) 23 Oct 2020 04:57:56
Can say that about almost anyone on the roster.


5.) 23 Oct 2020 14:48:46
Hey isn't laine on the block? he's probably ass.

Marner for Kiviranta 1 for 1.

Great deal. Leafs should pull the trigger on dumping Mander asap and take whatever this first offer is.

Kiviranta hasn't done much so far, what with being 24 and only having 11 games played and all. But I bet he would break out on the Leafs playing beside either Matthews or Tavares.

Toronto Trades
Penguins 1st (15th overall)
A. Johnsson

Ducks Trade
H. Lindholm.

If we’re targeting a LHD who can play on the right, to me it makes more sense to sign Brodie and use the assets elsewhere.


2.) 26 Aug 2020 11:22:19
Can Lindholm even play the right side? I've never known him to. When he was paired with Fowler, it was Fowler who took the right side.

Value wide, the trade is fair. In fact, probably more than fair. Skjei only brought a 1st to the Rangers. Corsica has them ranked at 73.2 and 72.6 for reference. They have almost identical contracts as well. The added value comes in dumping Johnsson's cap obviously.

If I were Dubas had any faith in Lindholm being able to play RHD I would jump on this. Lindholm isn't known for his big hits or physical play, but that's not necessarily what we need. We need a guy who can play actual defense. And Lindholm is very good at that.

The Colorado Avalanche need a goalie!
Leafs Trade: Andersen
Avalanche Trade: Byram
Give Campbell the starting job, he’s playing better anyways.

LeafsFan2002

1.) 20 Feb 2020 12:31:58
And then what happens if Campbell gets hurt? We are right back in the same position we were before we acquired Campbell. We would need another backup again.

If we trade Andersen there better be a goalie coming back in return.

Since Minnesota is willing to listen to offers on Dumba and Brodin, I say we go after both of them. Minnesota wants a top line centre, or a second line centre with a prospect for each.

Leafs trade: Nylander, Kapanen, and Liljegren

Wild trade: Dumba, and Brodin

PS: Probably unrealistic, but I can hope.

LeafsFan2002

1.) 12 Feb 2020 08:37:55
I don't really see any reason to go after both. Seems like in this scenario we lose two top 6 forwards and bring in two top 4 D. Then we are playing someone like Barrie and Muzzin 10 minutes a game. Either one I would be happy with though.

How about we go back in time and inform Dubas that Kadri is a second line centre on a good contract. Screw Barrie and Kerfoot actually get us a defenceman lol.


2.) 12 Feb 2020 12:06:52
Is Nylander a 2C? He didn’t even do a very good job as 3C on Leafs. I think Nylander is worth more to us than those two guys anyway, let lone giving them Kappy and Liljegren. We lose two RW players in this deal, and no one we have on the team currently can replace Nylander. Trading Kapanen just compounds the problem.


3.) 12 Feb 2020 12:34:48
I rather not make this trade and just go after Brodin, he would look great with Reilly.

I feel like if we pursue Pietrangelo our team will end up being worse. Target Tanev and maybe Brodie instead. Dump Johnsson and Kerfoot for picks or prospects. We can’t have half of our cap space into 5 players. Depth is key in the playoffs.

LeafsFan2002

1.) 01 Oct 2020 22:39:05
I agree. Unless Marner is moved (Nylander doesn't cut it. He makes less than Petro will) you need to find someone else. I like tanev a lot. The issue is he's made of glass. He can't deal with a full season I guess and Brodie is a poor man's Reilly, they won't work together.


2.) 02 Oct 2020 04:40:14
Brodie on a 3 or 4 year deal is the best choice imo. Any longer is too much risk at his age. I doubt he takes less than four. Just don’t front load it with signing bonuses and it can even be bought out the last year if need be.

Is he “elite”? No. But he is still very good. He can play 1RHD, and was Giordano’s partner they year he won the Norris. He’s the exact type player we need to hold the spot until Liljegren (hopefully) grows into it.


3.) 02 Oct 2020 14:28:45
I agree that term will become an important factor when signing UFA's in this flat cap era.

Maybe going after Gibson was a little unrealistic, but Freddy isn’t going to take us to the cup. Any suggestions for a starting goalie to target.

LeafsFan2002

1.) 27 Jan 2020 23:10:28
Yeah get a backup, learn to play defence once in awhile and maybe Freddy will be back in form.


2.) 28 Jan 2020 01:03:26
My concern is Freddy needs re-signing after next year and will want a big raise. Can we afford him? A backup that can take over net if Freddy is lost to free agency is what we need. Even if we have to pay up for one. Prices of goalies are almost never more than a pick. And usually not even a 1st unless a starting goalie already.


3.) 28 Jan 2020 03:26:06
That's been my thinking as well. Woll isn't ready yet if he ever is and Kaskisuo looks like he won't be either. Gorgiev gives you a good chance at getting a future starter. Gibson I don't think is for sale. Only way you get him is to over pay.


4.) 28 Jan 2020 09:23:01
I think the leafs will try and sign the Russian goalie short term leafs have two good goalie prospects in Woll and Scott keep in mind before Scott got injured the year before he posted a 932 save percentage that is pretty unreal I’d like to see Toronto have one of those guys take over for Freddie last guy way James reimer.


5.) 28 Jan 2020 10:13:37
Goalies are 100% unpredictable. Not so long ago Binnington was on waivers. They develop slowly most of the time and sometimes turn out like Sparks. Sparks was the longest serving leaf and put up amazing numbers. He then came up to play with the big boys and fell apart. More goalie prospects the better.

Good overall trades, not sure I like Weegar on the top pair though.

Why would we trade our best stay at home D for a 3rd line winger?

Fleury is getting up there in age. there are other goalie options that would probably come cheaper.

Really good fair trade
With Andersen’s $5m off the books I say we target Lehner in free agency.
