Here’s an AHL defencemen, a borderline NHL winger, and a third for two quality NHL players…. Oh and by the way you’re gonna need to keep paying half of their salaries. Habs laugh …. And hang up.

To the leafs: Karlsson (50% retained)
To San Jose: Matt Murray, topi niemela, roni hirovenan, and Timothy lilygren
High upside roster player to replace Karlsson, 2 Top prospects and a Goal Tender since they don't have a starter.
1.) 26 Jun 2023 12:36:35
The leafs can’t get sucked into a trade like this yes karlsson is a great player but he’s also not the type of player they need and even at 50% at his age is still a lot.
2.) 26 Jun 2023 13:57:50
Your proposal trade is the same as the article I read on Leafs Nation.!
21 May 2023 19:57:18
Sign Tim Murray, and Gerard gallant then the Leafs need to find a trade partner for TJ Brody. Then if trading Marner/Nylander make sure a Top D man comes back in any trade.
Find a place for Murray, whether buy out, LTIR, or dump in a trade for picks or as a throw in on bigger deal.
1.) 21 May 2023 22:23:46
Why is everyone always dumping on Brodie? Hes easily the best and most consistent D-man on this team, since he arrived.
I find it extremely perplexing.
2.) 21 May 2023 22:54:51
Dumping on players after a couple of games where they may have been a bit off is what leaf fans do. TJ is far from a problem here. He makes everyone he plays with better. Move out Holl and cut Gio minutes . Trade Marner for a top D plus.
3.) 21 May 2023 23:33:15
@Bob agreed. It's insane though.
You can't ship everyone out who makes a mistake or you'll forfeit every game for lack of players.
4.) 21 May 2023 23:45:59
im dumping on brodie because he is an tradable asset to bring in something younger that can be replaced on the free market for hopefully cheaper.
5.) 22 May 2023 00:48:31
I'm not dumping on Brodie. I agree he is very consistent.
I just think if Toronto actually did trade one of the big boys for a Dman, Brodie is the odd man out. contract $ and term left.
6.) 22 May 2023 01:32:27
In the top 4 right now, you have;
Rielly-Brodie
Mccabe-?
Gio-?
How is there no space for someone that can play both sides?
Nobody is available either. This is one of the worst crops of free agents in recent memory. Even a guy like Kampf might be getting a long-ish term deal, for 2.5-3 million.
Bunting is probably getting Hyman money now.
You aren't replacing Brodie easily.
7.) 22 May 2023 01:57:34
Bc if you read the post it stated that if they trade one of Nylander manner for a top dman he would then be expendable.
Where is lilygren on your list?
8.) 22 May 2023 03:18:35
If you get a top D it won’t be Brodie who’d be the off man out. Reilly, new guy, McCabe, Brodie…. it’s everyone after that who's expendable.
9.) 22 May 2023 03:23:40
@pontiac5. In all fairness to how others responded, you wrote the Leafs need to find a trade partner for Brodie. Then "if" they trade Nylander/ Marner they need to get a top 4 D back.
That's says trade Brodie for sure, but if then decide to trade N/ M get a Dman back. That is not the same as trade N/ M and then Brodie is expendable.
Let's say the Leafs trade Brodie. Who do they sign or trade for that is a top 4 under $5M? At $5M, Brodie is good value. As for Liljegren, I am not sure he is a Leaf at start of next season. He looked lost the 2nd half of the season and even worse after Sandin got traded.
10.) 22 May 2023 04:00:48
@Pontiac based on last season? Beside Gio. He was a bust for most of the season.
McCabe still needs a partner.
11.) 22 May 2023 23:54:48
So my position on Brodie is to trade him for a second or third this year!
Yes he played a lot during this year’s playoff but in my view was caught out of position often was not the factor a $5m player should be.
I’ve been saying this for awhile now; he’s not the defender he was. He’s slower, has no offence and is not physical at all. I’ve suggested we trade him for something versus losing him for nothing at the end of his term.
He can be replaced by UFA Gavrikov who is younger with more offensive upside. He made $2.8m last year; I’d offer him for 4 years @ $4m (but am prepared to go to $5).
12.) 23 May 2023 01:19:28
So I am normally pro Brodie but he had a miserable playoff.
13.) 23 May 2023 06:46:05
@both Randy's Brodie didn't look good in the playoffs, nor did a pot of people. Trying to replace a defensive presence for 5m or less aav, is not easy. He's also only a rental, I'd like to see less turnover year to year, not more.
14.) 23 May 2023 13:11:45
Brodie is the new Larry Murphy in Toronto for treatment. He plays a solid, no stress kind of game but people want him to be mistake free. He leaves and our D-core looks brutal.
15.) 23 May 2023 22:45:46
Brodie was often left alone or put in impossible positions by his D partners throughout the playoffs. He’s worth every penny he earns. I’ll take the 2 million savings from Holl being gone and keep Brodie thanks . Gio needs more nights off next year.

Leafs should sign Tm Murray as their new GM. Great at finding talent. Hard nosed. Wouldn't be afraid to make the upcoming hard choices that need to be made
1.) 22 May 2023 00:25:01
Tim Murray? Guy has never found anyone lol let alone had success at the nhl level.
2.) 22 May 2023 03:59:27
I'm coming around to Brad Treliving, but not sold on him.
Murray, I would not accept. His resume does not show success, and I'm not willing to take another gamble.
3.) 23 May 2023 01:22:39
So I'm a big fan of treliving, but I fear he won't come here, Shanahan appears to be very hands on, and that's why he left Calgary (or atleast as it was rumoured)
4.) 23 May 2023 12:49:19
@Randy. I think Treliving's biggest issues were with Sutter, not upper management. We all know Sutter will say whatever is on his mind and he likes to do things his way. Considering how their season went and many players having down years under Sutter, I can see how Treliving and Sutter may have been at odds about playing style etc.
11 Dec 2023 02:00:23
To tor: lybushkin .5 retained
To arizona: legasson, McCann and a 4th
To Tor: Monahan and savard
To Montreal: robertson Lavoie kampf.
26 Jun 2023 08:17:54
Kevin Weekes wrote that Grier is asking for 3 first round picks for Karlsson and retained salary.
Not sure what people are smoking these days.
26 Jun 2023 08:16:11
That could be the most ridiculous trade I've seen yet.
26 Jun 2023 08:15:03
Why would Calgary not do it? Nylander, and robertson, could get you tofolli and hanifin alone. Add in a respectable 2nd pairing Dman.
I think Toronto would hesitate before calgary.

What in the hillbilly hell?
Dreams are free I suppose.
