Going with the change of D and adding a Stan Tender.

Fleury
Bogosian
Hartman

to Leafs for:

Samsonov
Liljegren
Kampf
Cowan
2024 4th round pick
2026 3rd
2026 7th

( lots of draft picks, yes I know but with the end result it made sense to me to be able to pry those three off Minny to round out a tough D and hope our tenders can catch a groove.)
__________________________________


Tanev

To Leafs for:

1st round
Abruzzee
Brodie

That should accommodate this trade considering Abbruzzee and their last years first rounders chemistry to build off of.
___________________________________
Lyubushkin @50%
For:
Timmons
Topi
2026 6th round



Knies - Matthews- Marner
Bertuzzi - Tavares - Nylander
Gregor- Domi- Robertson
Homberg - Hartman- McMann/Reeves

Rielly - Tanev
McCabe - Bogosian
Benoit - Lyubushkin
Gio/Lagesson

Fleury
Jones
Woll


Hopefully Fleury and Jones could go on a few runs (I don't really trust Sammy still so.....) put Woll in as 3rd string now in hopes he becomes injury free then insert him as needed.

Damn hard to come up with scenarios in order to improve. I chose this far fix ;) GLG!

Bogo has said before he wouldn't consider coming back to Toronto.


2.) 16 Feb 2024 02:49:35
Leafs overpay in every trade proposed.


3.) 16 Feb 2024 11:06:43
Fleury and Bogozian should retire not come to play for the Leafs!

To Leafs:

Then Change the coach = Gallant

Thatguy

That looks like a phenomenal overpay to me.


2.) 31 Dec 2023 23:45:56
Leave out Lilygren and ducks eat half of Gibson salary.


3.) 01 Jan 2024 01:00:55
Toronto maple ducks.


4.) 01 Jan 2024 01:08:36
Ouch!


5.) 01 Jan 2024 03:27:13
Just trying to ensure we have a #1 goalie in Gibson who can also mentor Woll in a good way, . added some toughness and stay at home defenders while getting two big young wingers that we should be able to sign next year. Yes it cost a lot, but we need to aim around something like these type of adds imo.

Knies - Matthews - Marner
Bertuzzi - Captain T - Jarnkrock
Jones - Domi - Leason
McMann - Kampf - Gregor

Morgan - Gudas
Benoit - McCbe
Gio _ Boosh

Gibson
Woll


Gallant
lol
Happy New Year Leaf Fans!

Benoit is a 7th D on a good team and he’s in your top 4. Gibson gave up a touchdown to Edmonton . A deal like this should go through Philadelphia and get you Konecny, Hart and one of their D, or Calgary.


7.) 01 Jan 2024 16:01:40
Ckps1976 - Just feel since Philly has been playing well and are in the playoff mix, I don't feel they would be interested in doing a big swap like that at this point.

Maybe Calgary but I feel this offer above addresses some areas we fall short in. Sure the Ducks got blown out by the oilers recently and are bottom dwellers, but maybe a team to target because of where they sit now in the standings.

This is definitely a shake up trade, and still leaves time to address some added tweaks before the trade deadline.


8.) 01 Jan 2024 16:21:37
Why does Woll need a mentor? I know he's just breaking into the league now, but he's 25. He isn't 19.


9.) 01 Jan 2024 17:07:27
If Benoit is in your top 4 you have a big problem.


10.) 01 Jan 2024 17:22:10
Leafslife

I guess when I used the word mentor in aspects that may help him to even better himself, relieve some pressure even though Woll is 25, having two tenders on our team that could make a great tandem and could possibly help Woll.

I'm sure Gibson has dealt with many scenarios that maybe he can communicate with Woll to brighten his future even more. Don't get me wrong here I feel Woll has done us justice and seems like a go to, just that a veteran Goalie usually brings something extra to a team that can be positive imo.


11.) 01 Jan 2024 20:46:15
@Thatguy I agree on having a tandem, and I don't mind Gibson, I just wouldn't make any moves that big in season eight now.

Liljegren and a 6th round for Xhekaj

Thatguy

1.) 07 Dec 2023 22:55:27
Why does everyone think WiFi can be had so cheap.


2.) 07 Dec 2023 23:05:59
Really don't think Chicago wants Willy. They're signing vets and grabbing free players to help the young talent along, but ultimately still tanking for the next two years at least.


3.) 07 Dec 2023 23:40:09
LL- I actually feel he is worth more too. I'm just hoping that Montreal would accept it to tidy up their D because they think wifi costs them too many penalties. And yes they sent him down to try and correct it but I just feel he is young and maybe some of his forte is his nastiness. Plus if I could compare the 3rd and 6th for Zadorov in his recent trade maybe it's not too far off of an offer.

I would overpay to get wifi to be honest. ;)


4.) 08 Dec 2023 17:04:18
I agree ThatGuy. I love WiFi's game.


5.) 08 Dec 2023 17:05:45
Wifi is in Ahl. 6th D on a decent team . if lucky. No need to overpay for him. Saying that he would be perfect 5/ 6 for the leafs.


6.) 08 Dec 2023 20:42:52
@Stryker he's also very young for a defenceman. I'm not surprised he was sent down.

Plus forgot to mention. FIRE KEEFE HIRE GALLANT.


2.) 05 Dec 2023 01:49:04
Leafs send Anaheim a top 10 winger in the NHL and don’t get a single significant difference maker in return.
Unless a McTavish or at least Drysdale was included in the package I would not like to see this deal happen.

Lyubushkin is a 3rd pairing defender.
Max Jones is a 3rd line, LW.
Leason is described as a big prospect, good in front of the net, needs to improve his skating.


 

 

01 Dec 2023 17:43:22
Samsonov @ 50% retained=1.775M
Topi .856K

To Jersey for:

Cal Foote 8k
Collin Miller 1.85M

Call Up Jones.

Work on more deals :)

Thatguy

1.) 01 Dec 2023 20:14:45
Jones has been bad in the minors. Need a different goalie option.


2.) 01 Dec 2023 22:42:59
What's wrong with Hilde-beast?


3.) 02 Dec 2023 00:35:20
Have you looked at Jones SV% With the Marlies?
.872 so far this season.


4.) 02 Dec 2023 14:48:06
Looks like they called up Jones on an emergency basis. Go Jones Go!

Just to be open and honest
I feel Samsonov now has played very noble for us.

Previously in the year, I was trying to trade Sam for Vegmelka in a deal here,... but now,... I feel Vegmelka from the yotes would be a great target for us.

You cats name the price/trade

Thatguy

1.) 30 Jan 2023 02:04:24
The issue with going after Vegmelka is that he has term and isn't going to be had cheap.


2.) 30 Jan 2023 03:27:45
As RLF said, Vejmelka is fairly young, playing on a dumpster fire team and still holding down the fort, with term. Be prepared to spend a lot.


 

 

16 Jul 2022 00:07:30
Rielly- Tanev
Sandin- Zadorov
Gio- Lili/Benn

How can we attain this line-up?

Thatguy

1.) 16 Jul 2022 00:43:19
By deciding we want Bedard.


2.) 16 Jul 2022 13:12:52
@LL. LOL That would get us close to him.


3.) 16 Jul 2022 20:11:04
Lol. Nice one leafslife.


 

 

06 Dec 2019 03:37:24
We need sandpaper upfront, on D and a back up.
Ducks are bottom 5 in the barrel.

A couple of players in this scenario have injuries but imo Dubas at the very least should be approaching the Ducks who we all know need some youth injected into their future for a trade that swaps our needs

Targets:
Manson -RHD physical D-man who plays more of a stay at home type.

Ritchie- RW - may not have the totals that some may value but at least he can be a role player who pushes the forte of being physical and creating a better balance our team craves to offset the skill.

Miller - a reliable backup that improves our odds of whatever back up we have in our system and is on our cap range




Offer

Johnsson
Liljegren
Timashov
Hutchinson
CeCi
2020 2nd

for the three mentioned above

Thatguy

1.) 06 Dec 2019 08:06:48
All 3 have been mentioned extensively in trade talks on this site. The concensus is usually none of us would be unhappy with any of them but by no means for alot. Ritchie is a penalty taking machine, Miller is old and Manson, well I like Manson. If the price is right gladly take all 3.


 

 

15 Aug 2018 04:05:47
Rick Nash signs for 4.5 mil for one year.
Better than Ennis or what?

Thatguy

1.) 15 Aug 2018 04:53:54
I could see him forming a real solid line with Kadri and Brown. They're all extremely solid defensively and have all shown the ability to score. If the price is right (3-5M for one year) then Nash would probably be worth bringing in.


 

 

07 Feb 2018 21:11:46
JVR
Gauthier
Carrick
3rd
to New Jersey for:

Boyle
Severson
2nd

We gain another young right D.
Boyle comes back to toronto for a longer playoff run while also knowing Toronto has the best sick kids hospital...and sometimes,...that's hockey

Now trade
Bozak, Leivo to Pitts for a first

Then...
Toronto trades,..Pitts 1st, NJ 2nd, our third and Liljegren, Polak to Arizona
for OEL and Domi

NEW LINEUP

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Marleau - Kadri - Marner
Domi - Moore - Brown
Martin - Boyle - Kapanen

Morgan - OEL
Gardiner - Hainsey
Dermott - Severson

Thatguy

1.) 08 Feb 2018 00:15:10
Yeah Zaitsev looks like he is going to set career highs from the bench.


2.) 08 Feb 2018 08:45:20
haha BigWilly, should of been Zaitsev/ Severson (3rd pairing) better?

Good angles Clarky.

What impresses me is Morgan and how these last two years has developed into somewhat of a late bloomer whereas before I may have put him on our trade block but now I feel he has earned his stay.

Yes he could still be a little tougher in the corners in our end but not every player with skill has that "no fear" attitude along the boards. Morgan has turned into the horse we need on the backend. Good on him and great for us. :)

Lets not forget that every team pllllays the maple Leafs hard because of all the huge publicity and media coverage.

Yes having small players does not help when the opponents know they can out muscle or start the hitting game to be the more dominate alpha kinda of opponent in that respect.

We've been patiently waaiting for this team to grow but Dubas seemms sto believve that those types of battles comes in time and becomes almost a learnt behaviour.

I know most fans/ hockey minds realize that our leafs need outside help (bigger, tougher, grindier.
