To Vegas: Sandin
To Toronto: McNabb a 3rd (from Buffalo)
McNabb is signed for 3 years, is 6'4" +11 with about 140 hits and blocks this season. Vegas is right up against the cap so this gets them some cap space and a younger player with a higher ceiling. The Leafs need a defenceman like McNabb for the playoffs, imo. Can't put all of the weight on 40 year old Giordano.

The NHL trade world were all over the leafs getting this guy last year then he signed the extension with Vegas.
2.) 26 Feb 2023 16:32:54
NYI TRADE
Matt Martin
Scott Mayfield
Toronto Trade
Sandin
Robertson.

To Toronto: Keegan Kolesar
To Vegas: Wayne Simmonds, 3rd (from Ottawa)
Leafs get a younger Simmonds type player, signed at a reasonable cap hit through the next 2 years. Vegas saves some salary.
1.) 07 Feb 2023 13:34:54
Vegas I doubt is moving any roster players in their playoff position. But I'd offer that to Reese Johnson in Chicago, younger, hits, and over 50% on faceoffs.
23 Nov 2022 16:45:20
To Vancouver: Kral, Woll
To Toronto: Schenn
We need NHL defenceman and we are at 50 contracts. Frees up a roster spot for us and we add a defenceman with a little sandpaper and playoff experience.
1.) 23 Nov 2022 22:12:06
I think people are really under valuing Schenn. He has 75+ hits in 20 games, plays a defensively sound game and makes 800k.
If Schenn agrees to move, it won't be this cheap.
2.) 24 Nov 2022 10:31:01
I like the acquisition of Schenn.

To NYR: Kerfoot
To Toronto: Reeves, Schneider, Harpur
New York is looking to get rid of Reeves, they are also a little thin at Center, in steps Kerfoot. Schneider is a solid young and physical defenceman, who is also a right hand shot. Harpur is a depth defenceman who is 6'6". Reeves, well we all know what he brings to the table. Teams might leave our stars alone if we have the Heavyweight Champ... I believe we would have to move a contract or 2 out, as we are at or near the limit, but easily do able.
1.) 23 Nov 2022 18:30:53
*Reeves to the Wild for a 5th.
2.) 23 Nov 2022 18:37:55
Can’t happen now Reeves was just traded.
3.) 24 Nov 2022 00:51:56
Schneider was a 1st round pick a couple of years ago and is already playing in Rangers top 6.
He is big, physical, skates well and is right handed.
I can not see the Rangers trading him let alone for Kerfoot.
There is also the cap hit difference between Kerfoot ($3.5) and Schneider ($925,000).
Though it is a nice thought it is highly unlikely to happen.
4.) 24 Nov 2022 16:20:37
I was hoping we drafted him instead of Amirov.
18 Nov 2022 00:33:52
To Calgary: Engvall, Kerfoot, Robertson, Holl, 1st round pick
To Toronto: Tanev, Zadorov, Toffoli.
This move helps Calgary clear out some cap space and some players that may be under performing on their contracts (Zadorov and Toffoli). Leafs get some defensive help and some more sandpaper for a playoff type of roster. With Muzzin on LTIR we can afford the extra 3.95M.
1.) 18 Nov 2022 00:44:45
Swap out Engvall for Benn, I think makes it more balanced for Calgary. We can still take on the extra cap.
2.) 18 Nov 2022 03:56:36
Calgary is definitely not letting Tanev go anywhere!
3.) 18 Nov 2022 05:56:03
If you can convince CGY to give up Tanev for our spare parts I'll agree it's a solid deal.

If the Leafs are to make no more major moves before the season starts, I'd like to see them atleast give this top 6 a try.
Bunting Mathews Nylander
Robertson Tavares Marner
The thought is that Mathews can score 50+ goals with just about anyone playing with him, this move should also elevate Nylander's game. Playing with Marner was a big reason Tavares came to Toronto, he had 47 goals in that first season playing beside him. A guy like him could benefit more from playing with Marner. Add another scorer, in Robertson, to that line. Should give you a pretty well balanced 2 scoring lines. I don't see a use for Robertson playing outside of the top 6, it's finally his time to step up to the show full time. To make all of this work, they would need to trade atleast Holl, to get under the cap. Not sure if trading him for a pick and sending Clifford and Simmonds contracts to be buried in the AHL, is enough to sign Sandin and hope he can play the right side. I still think he's a big part of this team, especially with the age on our left side. Otherwise, Kerfoot would have to be moved. They'd have enough to re sign Sandin in that case. My question is what do you think Kerfoot is worth? A 2nd?
1.) 14 Sep 2022 12:52:26
I have said this a few times. If you want to tick Matthews off, put Nylander with him. Nylander has the talent, but his lack of drive and compete would just drive Matthews nuts imo. Matthews has grown into a guy that plays like he wants to win, like he wants to be great. Willy just likes to have the puck, otherwise he is disinterested. Willy reminds me so much of Kessel and we have seen how teammates got tired of Phil no matter where he has played.
19 Jul 2022 17:57:30
So we're 1.5M over the cap and still haven't signed Sandin. We basically need to trade Holl for a pick/s just to be cap complacent. As it stands, our RHD group is not very strong. Losing Lyubushkin really sucked. I'm not sure Brodie is our top RHD, but what other options do we have?
I would suggest a Holl and a 2nd for Weeger. Florida needs cap space (maybe worst then us). We would have to trade Kerfoot for a pick/s to make this work, still wouldn't be able to re sign Sandin though. I'm really hoping Dubas has a trade/s lined up and is waiting for free agents to get off the board and teams will then come calling. Because currently, I'm failing to see how we got better this year.
1.) 19 Jul 2022 19:53:00
Weegar will fetch a good return for them. I'm not so sure Holl and a 2nd gets it done.
2.) 20 Jul 2022 11:22:23
If the Leafs now want Weegar, think Sandin (possibly +) or at least a 1st+ is my guess.
3.) 20 Jul 2022 22:39:11
@RLF can we still give up the equivalent of Dermott and Johnson? Lol.
4.) 21 Jul 2022 11:44:35
We could try, but now Fla says no and not Dubas.
5.) 22 Jul 2022 05:09:28
@RLF I know no one says it, but I wasn't sold on Weegar when you were. Good call.
6.) 22 Jul 2022 12:46:23
@LL. Thanks, I get the odd one right.
If the Leafs can get him, they should do what they can to move whomever to get him. If Leafs could move Kerfoot and Holl out without taking back much or any cap and then acquire Weegar for Sandin (and a plus I would think), I'd be thrilled. Especially if we could then get Kolesar or Trenin and fit it all under the cap. Goaltending would be the only major question left imo.
7.) 23 Jul 2022 04:33:36
@RLF if you were GM we could have the Toronto Maple Panthers now. Forgot about Bennet as well.
10 Jul 2022 16:17:16
Any chance the Leafs call Minnesota about Talbot? Apparently he isn't happy about the MAF signing and they are desperate for cap space. What would a trade for him look like? I personally can't get the Edmonton days Talbot out of my head, but it looks like a decent scenario for both teams, seeing as our goalie options are dwindling down by the day.
1.) 11 Jul 2022 00:05:03
I don't mind Talbot in a tandem, but man is it concerning when Can Talbot is your last hope.
26 Feb 2022 11:26:01
Edit to above trade. Cap going out of Toronto: 7.5 M
03 Mar 2023 12:42:36
Why do we want Hutchinson back again? Woll and Källgren are both better imo.
02 Mar 2023 13:18:14
They're talking about getting a 1st and 2nd, possibly prospect for Bertuzzi. An often injured prospect and 7th NHL defenceman isn't gonna get it done, imo.
01 Mar 2023 10:33:52
I don't think any of those players move the needle in trying to acquire Chychrun.
28 Feb 2023 16:19:18
*Tampa.
28 Feb 2023 12:56:40
Lucic (50% retained) for Kerfoot? Be a nice insurance policy now that ataxia picked up Jeannot.
