I have an interesting proposal.

Columbus Trades
Laine*

Toronto Trades
Kampf**
Holmberg


*Columbus retains 50% of Laine's remaining contract.

**Columbus would have to be on Kampf's modified no trade clause or he would have to waive it to accept a trade to The Jackets.


Now I know Laine is dealing with mental issues and unless he is ready next season it makes no sense for The Leafs to take this gamble.
Columbus I believe will try to get whatever they can to trade Laine, and this gives them 2 NHLers for Patrick.


Thoughts ?

"The NHL is projecting the salary cap to rise to $87.7 million for next season, Commissioner Gary Bettman said after the Board of Governors meetings concluded Tuesday. " December 5 2023 via NHL. com

Your idea of a solution to Torontos stanley cup drought is to put $58.5 million out of a possible $87.7 million towards 6 players? (Matthews 13.25, Nylander $11.5, Tavares $11, Marner 10.9, Reilly $7.5, and Laine for $4.35)

Are they going to pay the starting goalie in timbits?

22 Mar 2024 00:04:02
I wish you'd get locked out of your own account so I could finally stop reading these proposals.

If Laine is such a lost cause for Columbus, why would Toronto need him?

Im sure an overhyped sniper with "mental issues" is just what 99.9% of Leafs fans have been waiting for Treliving to trade for.

22 Mar 2024 12:12:10
@DrwDave I've just come to the conclusion that he bases his idea on what the Leafs need on what works on NHL 24. This idea that we can continue to pay our forwards a king's ransom, not address the actual needs of the team, and expect a different result is getting old.

22 Mar 2024 19:00:36
That Tavares contract will be off the books next offseason.

23 Mar 2024 00:17:01
Laine at 4.35M wouldn’t be an issue at all? Heck no from Columbus.

25 Mar 2024 11:28:55
Makes perfect sense. add another one-dimensional, formerly offensive player, to a lineup in clear need for help on the back end.

I agree with DrwDave that it would be a blessing to have Pinball locked out of his account. The compulsive posting of garbage got old a loooooooong time ago.

25 Mar 2024 16:24:01
It doesn’t even matter how your team is made up, if you can add Laine at 4.35M you do it.

26 Mar 2024 08:30:22
I have read this proposal several times now, still can't find the interesting part.

Laine on NHLPA help need a change of scenary


Slaf-suzuki-caufield
Kakko-dach-laine

29 Jan 2024 06:37:43
- that would be a huge overpayment for Laine. (going in the NHL/ NHLPA Assistance plan would bring his value down. )

- Laine hasn’t scored 30 in 5 long seasons.

- Habs traded a pick for the negotiating rights to sign Anderson. They’d never be trusted by a Free Agent again if they traded him back.

29 Jan 2024 16:00:26
Laine had 22 goal and 52 pts last year, maybe the injury prone is the problem. But I'm not too bother by is mental issue he had rough time last 2 year, with injury and uncertainty.

Hugues didn't trade for Anderson, it was Bergevin and it was like 3 years ago, I don't think it would affect Habs reputation at all.

29 Jan 2024 16:15:59
Anderson has low value, farell a b propect, armia has negative value and a late first for a 6.4 goal scorer who need a scenary change, I do not agree is an over payment.

29 Jan 2024 18:38:25
- I respectfully disagree with everything put forth, and I like a player like Anderson.

- Laine is owed 2 x 8.7M after this season. Give me Anderson ANY day and his 3 x 5.5M going forward. His teammates, coaches, and fans love him. No one ever knows what to expect from Laine, and he’s well-removed from the best he had to offer.

29 Jan 2024 20:30:13
He’s been a point per game in 2 of the 3 ish seasons in Columbus. Anderson hasn’t touched .5 ppg and is getting further away from it at 30.

30 Jan 2024 02:36:13
There’s more to measure a player by than points, Inthink we can agree on that? Perhaps? Some other day? ?

I just don’t value Laine as a player as you do. Power to you, but there’s just something not right about Laine. He peaked in his career early. He’s a different cat and not someone I would line up to add.

30 Jan 2024 12:44:09
Laine reminds me of Semin. All the skill in the world to be a prolific player in the league. just lazy and can't put it together.

30 Jan 2024 13:26:00
That's a good comparison MG. Semin, and players like him, just have ungodly skills with the puck.

Skill without will is easily neutralized by ham and egger who is willing to outwork them. Just another why a player like Crosby, who works harder than anyone, is so special. and well on his way to scoring 50 at age 37.

30 Jan 2024 15:35:50
Semin had some big years in the NHL, I’d take him in his prime. Getting points is what teams want and what gets you paid. Love all the intangibles for sure but you have to be productive and Anderson gets paid like a 50-60 point player.

30 Jan 2024 19:42:47
EBS: Absolutely agree with your take on Semin. He had 5-6 good years, without question.

We see Anderson differently. There isn't a GM in the league that wouldn't want a guy like that in his lineup. It is accurate to measure some players by their production alone, but not all. There are many ways to impact a game, and speed and toughness are two of them.

31 Jan 2024 01:40:56
Semin was a good/ average player his whole career. He was a great player in contract years. He'd get his payout and return to being average which is unfortunate because he had all the skill in the world to be dominant and put up huge numbers.

31 Jan 2024 02:25:15
100% agree on GM’s wanting Anderson just not at 5.5M.

Columbus Trades
Jenner
Peeke

Toronto Trades
Kampf
NRobertson
Benoit
1st Round Pick 2024



Cap difference is just over 2,500.000 more for The Leafs, but with Klingberg on LTIR this can be fit in.



Jackets in complete rebuild do this for the future with still roster players coming back in my proposal.

Leafs add a gritty 3rd line Centre in Jenner that's made for the playoffs and a RHanded Shooting Densive Defenceman in Peeke that Toronto has been looking for all season.



Thoughts ?

11 Jan 2024 01:18:19
I have want to do Jenner for a while is a good fit. Peeke is okay for me but I see him at a comparable to Liljegrin kind of middle of the pack.

I probably try sweeten the pot and get Werenski if I could.

Columbus Trades
Peeke*

Toronto Trades
Benoit
Abruzzese (AHL)

*Columbus retains 750k of Peeke's remaining 3 year Contract.

Leafs looking for that RHanded stay at home Defenceman hasn't been an easy one, this is a buy lower option that I believe will work with what they need.

Jackets have made Peeke a healthy scratch for most of the season, so it's time to trade him and get him also a fresh start, saving 2 million over the next 3 seasons also helps.

Win Win for both Teams imo.


Thoughts ?

18 Dec 2023 01:00:24
Peeke will bring something better than this, despite the year he’s having.

Neither player offered in this trade is young enough to be considered a prospect, and neither has been good enough to earn a full-time NHL job.

19 Dec 2023 17:08:29
To be fair though Chickenfoot there is a good chance Abruzzese would probably be in the Blue Jackets everyday roster. I could be wrong though. Could be a good deal if the Blue Jackets see some value or potential for Abruzzese in their lineup.

20 Dec 2023 22:21:21
MG: CLB aid lousy, so you may be right with playing time, but neither has much value or regard outside Toronto.

It looks like a case of overvaluation of a team’s prospects through a fan’s eyes rather than making an objective judgement on asset values.

Oilers upgrade significantly on D.

06 Dec 2023 03:43:46
Definitely seems plausible ?

I wouldn’t personally bet the Oilers season on Elvis, but EDM is known to be scouting CLB.

All in all this is very realistic to me?.

06 Dec 2023 18:27:45
Oil wouldn’t be able to take on the cap.

04 Dec 2023 02:55:56
CLB - Elvis Merzlikins and Adam Boqvist
EDM - Ryan McLeod, Cody Ceci and 2024 2nd


- Merzlikins is open to a change of scenery
- Jackets have been trying to trade Boqvist and Peeke

04 Dec 2023 05:28:13
I wouldn’t want Merzlikins unless Campbell is going back the other way. Could be good trade partners though.

04 Dec 2023 15:28:36
Columbus wants to get rid of dmen not collect another.

21 Nov 2023 16:03:18
Sorry didn't realize cap wise it pry wouldn't work for Detroit here's revised.

Detroit - patrick laine
Columbus - andrew copp 1 million retain Marco kasper 2nd 24.

21 Nov 2023 23:11:05
Take away the retention then it’s closer but I feel like with Debrincat Laine doesn’t make sense.

21 Nov 2023 16:00:12
Detroit-patrick laine 5th 24.
Columbus- Marco kasper 1st 25

15 Oct 2023 16:20:47
When Connor Timmons is ready to come off the injury listI have a proposal to fix the Cap crunch for The Leafs.

Columbus Trades
Peeke

Toronto Trades
Brodie*
NRobertson (AHL)
Hildeby (AHL)

*Brodie would have to approve a move to Columbus with having a NTC.


The Jackets a rebuilding team with plenty of Cap Space will be looking at improving their farm system and prospects pool, adding NRobertson and Hildeby does that plus Brodie on an expiring contract gives them experience without having to commit long term with him, and he could be flipped at the trade deadline for more future assets.

Leafs fix The Cap situation and still get back a solid Defenceman in return, something like this will have to happen to fit Timmons back as he would have to go through waivers and they will lose him if they try that.


Thoughts ?

16 Oct 2023 02:57:28
There is no cap crunch the leafs are fine. They can waive Timmons.

16 Oct 2023 12:49:16
vbbbvvbb
I can see you aren't understanding Cap Space or Waivers.
Toronto has exactly 148.333 in Cap left, Timmons makes 1,100.000 which takes them over The Cap.
Timmons isn't waiver exempt which means any team can claim him if they try to send him to The AHL, and he will be claimed if that happens and Treliving isn't going to give Timmons away for nothing.

16 Oct 2023 23:44:53
You have explained how this helps the leafs, but you didn’t/ couldn’t explain why CLB would do this?

To have a credible trade proposal it has to appear to be a balance between what all parties would likely want or need.

After receiving overwhelming feedback for consistently posting one-sided trades for your favourite team it’s hard to imagine why you still do.

Respectfully, this would never be considered as a fair trade by anyone even remotely familiar with player values, especially considering there’s no salary retention on Brodie.

17 Oct 2023 12:19:35
not sure Columbus interested in trading a young defenceman for an older, more expensive one, an injury prone forward and an unproven goalie. makes no sense.

18 Oct 2023 21:22:59
Yeah they will it’s Timmons he’s a bottom pairing dman. They will keep there best defensive dman and waive Timmons in a heartbeat then I’ll come back on this site and laugh at you when they do exactly as i say just as they do everytime.

18 Oct 2023 21:43:52
I’d bet Peeke either goes on Waivers and is claimed or gets moved in a trade for Garland.

19 Oct 2023 02:00:28
No way he's on waivers vbb. He'll get traded or boquist, but boquist would get more than peeke. Either way. But not taking a inflated salary for the fun of it.

12 Oct 2023 23:53:29
To Vancouver Canucks :
RD - Adam Boqvist ( 2.60 @ 2 RFA )

To Columbus Blue Jackets :
RW - Conor Garland ( 4.95 @ 3 UFA )


Boqvist is available, Garland is available. Both teams fill a need.

13 Oct 2023 02:38:01
The Canucks do not need a offensive dman. Boqvist to Montreal makes sense.

13 Oct 2023 13:38:06
- seems very realistic to me?

- Boqvist would be a great add for any lineup, but MTL is years away from being competitive and is loaded with quality RD prospects. It is unlikely they’d block any development paths for the kids, especially with Reinbacher and Mailloux likely joining the roster next year.

22 Nov 2023 21:16:01
No from Van. Boqvist is struggling a ton. Garland is a very good player despite what you hear. Gar doesn't get powerplay time or PK.

He outscored JT Miller last year at 5v5.

Boqvist is not good right now.

11 Oct 2023 14:08:54
Canucks: garland retained at 2,750,000 Blue jackets: peeked 2,750,000 gives them there needs

11 Oct 2023 16:03:48
Reason I thought this is because Vancouver is looking for a reliable defender to play with Hughes and Columbus has a log jam on the right side that needs to be cleared up and blue jackets are rumored to want more depth on the wing and garland apparently wants out.

14 Oct 2023 02:05:13
Seems ok, would like to know why everyone disagreed. Garland is a guy can put on any line, peeke is a good young defenseman with extra guys to replace him.

14 Sep 2023 16:15:21
Columbus Trades
Peeke

Toronto Trades
Brodie
Lafferty
Hildeby (SHL)


Thoughts ?

14 Sep 2023 17:52:22
Explain why on earth Columbus would do this. Every leaf trade put up never balanced.

14 Sep 2023 20:21:56
Nashan
Brodie is a Lefthanded shooting Defenceman and Columbus is stacked on the Rightside compared to the Leftside, plus Brodie would be a Top 3 Defenceman on Columbus.
Lafferty is a solid bottom 6 Winger/ Centre that young teams always add in a rebuild.
Hildeby isn't some throw in prospect, he is a solid Goaltender that could become a future #1, Toronto has plenty of Goaltending Depth coming up but Columbus doesn't.
Peeke is solid but will never be an All-star so honestly don't you believe you are over rating Peeke?
So there you got why this makes sense for Columbus, for Toronto they need to shed some Cap and if this wasn't a Cap situation they are actually weaker after this proposal.

15 Sep 2023 10:57:13
Columbus declines. no value coming back.

15 Sep 2023 11:51:53
Brodie hasn't played the left side for years man. Might be left handed but he plays better on the right side. Hildeby is a complete unknown in terms of whether his play in Europe will transfer over hear. We had a Swedish goalie before who was suppose to be our saving grace and that blew up in our faces. Just don't see it happening.

15 Sep 2023 16:51:40
MG69
Brodie can play either side equally as well, in fact he played a lot with Holl last season with Holl a RHanded Shooting Defenceman.
Hildeby is a very good prospect, to say he isn't is a judgement that has no base at all.
Peeke is a solid Defenceman that fits The Leafs better than he does on Columbus, that's why it makes sense for both Teams imo.

18 Sep 2023 18:15:12
I still don't think pinball realizes brodie isn't gonna get you much, hes a salary hindering weight. Just like he is on Toronto. If Toronto retained 50% they'd get a good return. But as is they'll pay to trade him or take an equal salary for a similar talent.

21 Sep 2023 20:12:18
Peeke isn’t making Columbus this season. He can be had for free on waivers most likely.

20 Aug 2023 11:08:40
Calgary: Hanifan. Cbj: peeke, marchenko calgary gets a serviceable replacement defenceman and a young guy with high potential. Columbus evens out the left-right situation and greatly improves entire de group. Doubt hanifan would go there but just an idea.

20 Aug 2023 12:25:15
If Hanifin agrees to an extension as part of this I think it’s doable.

I really like the Peeke kid too. I’d have him in my team any day.

14 Aug 2023 15:15:20
Columbus Trades
Peeke

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Hildeby (AHL)

Jackets being a rebuilding team make trades like this for the future, plus signing Severson and with Werenski and Bean coming back Peeke is expendable.

Leafs will have to make a few more moves to not only get to the Cap limit but also get a bit more sandpaper on Defense, Brodie and either Timmons or Liljegren I believe will be traded before the season gets started.


Thoughts ?

14 Aug 2023 16:36:24
Pinball your trades, like this one, are embarrassingly one sided for the Leafs. Then you wonder why your posts are ridiculed by people reading them.

15 Aug 2023 11:56:54
Actually don’t know if this is bad Peeke might not make the Jackets this year with Werenski and Severson locked in on the right side with Boqvist, Jiricek and Peeke fighting for the 3rd pairing. Now Peeke is definitely a Babcock player but those other 2 players have a lot higher potential then Peeke.

Peeke is probably worth a 3rd.

15 Aug 2023 12:58:41
islandjet
Have you looked at The Jackets Defense Depth?
Peeke is probably the odd man out plus Columbus is a rebuilding club adding both NRobertson and Hildeby is what rebuilding teams do.

15 Aug 2023 14:23:54
Robertson is an undersized injury prone soon to be 22 year old winger next month and has only played 82 games over the past 3 seasons in the NHL/AHL. I can’t see him being worth much honestly. His health has been a concern since his days in the OHL. The skill is there though, it’s just his size and health that’s a huge concern.

15 Aug 2023 18:51:58
This is to much for Peeke after seeing what Petry returned.

09 Aug 2023 14:54:12
Columbus Trades
Peeke

Toronto Trades
Brodie
Hildeby (AHL)
5th Round Pick 2024


Fixes The Leafs Cap Problem as well as adding a solid Right Handed Shooting Defenceman that would partner well with Rielly.

Columbus might have a steal getting Hildeby out of this proposal is why they do it, plus The Jackets are top heavy with Right Handed Shooting Defencemen and getting Brodie evens it out.


Thoughts ?

09 Aug 2023 20:19:15
- why would CLB trade Peeke, who was drafted by CLB, played every game, hasn’t yet hit his prime, and who out produces Brodie?

- where is the compensation for taking on Brodie’s 5M cap hit, which is actually 7.5M in actual salary this year?

- Brodie also has a NTC…

? Homer Trades
?

Ya Peeke is so much better than Brodie, you are showing Leaf hate just stop for yourself.

10 Aug 2023 09:51:49
@Pinball uhh you do realize Peeke played on a 31st place team while Brodie played on a 4th place team right? Peeke is right handed, 8 years younger and 2.25mil cheaper. Straight to the "Leaf hater" card as always. Hildeby isn't even that good of a goalie prospect either lol Columbus already has Merzlikins, Tarasov, Greaves, Lalonde, Ivanov and Strahl as well. They add to a position that they don't need while getting older and more expensive lol. Makes sense for the Leafs but doesn't make any sense for the Jackets.

10 Aug 2023 10:33:05
PINBALL: how many times do we have to address your default reply of “leaf hate” whenever someone disagrees with your stupid trade proposals? Are you a child, or do you have some kind of cognitive impairment? You aren’t processing information and feedback like a healthy adult, and you’re embarrassing yourself.

- you seem to be arguing against yourself and making my point with the games played stat?

- Peeke is 8 years younger, and able to play more games.

- Peeke makes almost half what Brodie makes, and is 2 years from his statistical prime.

- Peeke played on the second worst NHL club this season…not sure if you can process that, but he has MUCH more value than Brodie. If you were a hockey fan you’d understand that.

You continue to embarrass yourself Pinball with your ridiculous Homer trades and infantile replies. You need help.

10 Aug 2023 12:34:42
I really like Peeke and his trade value is higher then Brodies. But he is no where’s near as good as Brodie at the moment.

10 Aug 2023 13:47:33
Chickenfoot.
We can agree to disagree.
You are a Leaf hater and I am a Homer.
End of discussion.

10 Aug 2023 15:04:36
PINBALL: not sure why you continue to equate disagreeing with your trade proposals with hating the leafs, but it’s tiring to read it time after time.

Deal with the feedback like an adult, or just don’t post. You embarrass yourself with your proposals, but even more so with your “you hate my team” nonsense.

There is something very, very wrong with you.

10 Aug 2023 18:19:57
Maybe he considers it hate that you constantly call one of the best defensive dman in the NHL negative value.

10 Aug 2023 22:51:16
Chickenfoot.
Again I am agreeing to disagree, it's been obvious your hate for The Leafs and that's ok as we are able to voice how we feel.
For some reason I am not allowed to speak without being attacked by you, which again is fine and actually I find it comical because everyone on here gets to post whatever, that's the fun part of this site if you take it as a evaluation of my sanity then you have lost why we are on here, I am not judging you but really you need to not take it all that seriously I don't.

11 Aug 2023 00:05:20
If brodie's the best defensive defenceman in the league the leafs should keep him.

10 Aug 2023 23:59:40
VB: I would think the Convoy-Boy would know more about hate than what you’re demonstrating in your response? I hate no person or team. I have a strong aversion to ignorance though, which is a big reason why the “Edison Twins” of VB and Pinball can’t process someone disagreeing with your opinion. (That’s odd, since I’ve given kudos to each of you when I thought you called something correctly, but that’s on you guys. )

PINBALL: again with the word “hate”? If you can’t tolerate any other opinions than yours, that’s on you little man. I have agreed with you a couple of times, and disagrees with you when I had a different opinion. I will continue to do so. If you equate someone “hating” your team because of your illogical trade proposals then you bet I question your mental acuity or maturity. That’s Psyche 101 easy stuff to spot. That’s all on you pal, and I will continue to call things as I read them.

11 Aug 2023 02:06:10
I agree with FACELIFT…why would you trade supposedly one of the best defensive defenders in the league? If he’s that valuable, why trade him? Maybe extend him? ?.

11 Aug 2023 12:35:10
Chickenfoot.
Like I said we agree to disagree.

11 Aug 2023 16:03:11
You can also reply without being arrogant. No need to tell pinball he has something wrong with him or to take his medication. Convoy boy is unnecessary as well.

12 Aug 2023 18:42:47
@Ebsloutley- A lot of times people who are unsuccessful in life tend to vent on the internet because it makes them feel better about their lives. You can tell people are in these situations when they show false delusions of grandeur within their comments. It’s easy to tell he is a vulnerable narcissist due to how offended he gets when he’s wrong to the point that he’d make a false reality rather then admitting he is wrong.

13 Aug 2023 15:30:28
Chickenfoot

Why are you such a condescending bhole? Maybe give ypur6input without being a jerk? Or do you just get off on this?

You seem like a very crappu person. Pinball is providing content, whether you agree with it or not. Making him feel or anyone feel like sh! t for that is pretty telling of your personality.

13 Aug 2023 16:58:37
EBS: I tend to respect you and your opinions on the whole, and I will keep what you said in mind going forward?.

14 Aug 2023 03:58:14
Thanks Chickenfoot. I like the hockey talk and every once in a while we come up with some interesting stuff! All the negative and unnecessary comments make it like any other social media. We can all be guilty of it and I think we can all be better ??.

14 Aug 2023 10:23:59
EBS: Fair enough indeed?.

Vb. you're pretty much calling the kettle black buddy, your response to the trade proposal just below this one is a prime example. atleast chicken is giving his honest opinion on the proposal, where he feels the trade is off and what he feels needs to be added to make the proposal more believable (unlike the waste of words below) . chicken also comes up with his own proposals from time to time, he doesn't just leave useless comments like a troll.

Well considering Hanfin to leafs has been posted at bear minimum 20 times it’s fair to say that it’s been over discussed when every person who follows the leafs know they have to many LHD as is.

Canuck's trade: Beauvillier, Truscott, 2nd round pick 2024

Jackets trade: Peeke


Columbus has young D coming up and need to make room for them. They get a decent winger while canucks get a shut down D.

Thoughts?

Are you insane? Van sends you a psychiatrist.

To Toronto Maple Leafs :
LW/RW - Alexander Nylander ( 775k @ 1 RFA )
D - Ty Smith ( 775k @ 1 RFA )

To Pittsburgh Penguins :
D - Timothy Liljegren ( 1.40 @ 1 RFA )


To Toronto Maple Leafs :
5th Round Pick in 2024 - CLB

To Columbus Blue Jackets :
D - Conor Timmins ( 1.10 @ 2 RFA )


Leafs need cap space and this helps them get cap space while staying competitive.



T Bertuzzi - A Matthews - M Marner
M Knies - J Tavares - W Nylander
M Domi - C Jarnkrok - A Nylander
S Lafferty - D Kampf - R Reaves

M Rielly - T Brodie
M Giordano - J Klingberg
J McCabe - T Smith

No clue why Toronto would move 2 RHD just to run 5 LHD.

26 Jul 2023 16:05:53
I am going to post an outgoing and incoming to combine 2 trade proposals.

Outgoing from The Leafs
Brodie (Columbus)
Liljegren (Anaheim)
MMurray (Anaheim)
Hildeby(SHL) (Columbus)
5th Round Pick 2024 (Anaheim)

Incoming to The Leafs
Vaakanainen (Anaheim)
Peeke (Columbus)

Leafs would not have to make any more moves and be under The Cap once Muzzin goes on LTIR after these 2 proposals.

Absolute garbage. The only person who thinks Murray has any trade value is you.

Most assume the only way to get rid of Murray is a buyout, or trading a major sweetener to get Murray off the books.

This is pure delusional nonsense Pinball. Stop wasting everyone’s time.

26 Jul 2023 17:27:32
Clearly Murray will go on LTIR I’m not sure how people are so dense. The leafs wouldn’t put themselves that far over the cap without a plan.

26 Jul 2023 17:32:36
Another two heavily favored trade proposals for the Leafs, no matter how you try to spin them.

26 Jul 2023 17:42:36
MMurray will be put onto LTIR, that was made official today.
So with that being said Toronto could just swap straight up Liljegren for Vaakanainen if Treliving likes the more Defensive Defenceman.

26 Jul 2023 18:32:36
Chickenfoot
Problem is solved MMurray is going on LTIR, so MMurray and his contract won't count against the Cap along with Muzzin's hit.
Leafs now only a small move away from getting to the Cap Space limit.
So you can stop the insults about any trades about MMurray, that's now a dead issue.

26 Jul 2023 21:04:55
Your trade proposals are pure garbage Homer-deals Pinball. The feedback you receive on a regular basis is earned, and you just don’t learn from it.

It’s pretty fishy that Murray returned from LTIR on March 4th, and now is declared to be on “LTIR indefinitely with an undisclosed injury”.

Teams complained to the league when the leafs used an emergency clause to bring up another goalie prior to the playoffs, and rightly so. That’s the thing with a salary cap: if you spent too much, that’s not an emergency. It’s just bad management.

I hope the league takes a closer look at the Murray situation. If he’s truly injured, fine. If they’re just avoiding having to buy him out, address it.

26 Jul 2023 23:27:42
Chickenfoot
MMurray can say he has depression and stay on LTIR.
As for my proposals saying they are garbage etc. Is your opinion which is fine you are entitled to your opinion, at the same time that doesn't entitle you to be right or wrong as that's YOUR opinion.
Of course for example Vaakanainen is much better than Liljegren according to you in my most recent post, I personally like the idea of that swap because Vaakanainen is more a defensive defenceman, but Liljegren is the more talented defenceman in this case imo.

27 Jul 2023 01:14:51
Chickenfoot- I told you so. For the 100th time.

27 Jul 2023 03:43:15
PINBALL: does it register with you that most here think your trades are ridiculous with the comments and voting? I’m not sure how you block out the feedback bud, you’re a fascinating case.

VB: clearly you don’t have much experience with being right since you’re taking the time to give yourself some credit. HILARIOUS MAN! ? You say a lot of stuff that is pretty out there, but even a broken clock is broken twice is right twice a day. I look forward to your next unhinged post. I’m sure it won’t be long Convoy Boy?.

27 Jul 2023 16:27:50
Well said Chickenfoot.

25 Jul 2023 16:24:18
Columbus Trades
Peeke

Toronto Trades
Brodie
Hildeby (SHL)

For Columbus this is getting a much needed Goaltending Prospect in Hildeby, and balancing the left and right defense as well as adding a veteran back there that Babcock will like and rely on.

Leafs get a good right handed shooting defenceman that would pair well with Rielly, plus 2.3 million in Cap Space which is needed.
