22 Jul 2025 13:41:43
Leafs need to send more.

13 Jul 2025 00:53:35
none of these hold value. too much going one way.

15 Jul 2025 23:11:06
Can you expend? Which offer is Too Much given from the habs?

20 Jul 2025 12:50:12
really? you don't see it?

26 Jun 2025 00:30:02
Tampa:Gabriel Szturc,3rd
Calgary:Coleman

Chicago:3rd
Calgary:Backland

Dallas:Robertson,bourque
Calgary:Andersson -50%rtn,Zary,Mews,1rd via Florida,2nd

20 Jun 2025 15:22:48
I think Dallas & St. Louis have real interest in Ekblad, is if so, they need room.

P. Broberg & T. Krug (LTIR) for B. McMann & prospect.

Blues free up $3.5 & dump $6.5 (out of house payment) while landing a very useful & cheap 20+goal player.

Leafs land a D-stud for under $5 and can move Reilly to Minny or Vancouver where he will excel.

21 Jun 2025 12:30:31
didnt st louis just offer sheet broberg from edmonton, why would they trade him away. and no thanks on krug.

22 Jun 2025 21:32:24
Broberg will be asking for $6 mil next year, Blues have Neighbors, Holloway, Broberg & Fowler all looking & deserving raises next year. Blues will have $5 mil in cap room.

Krug will get traded to a cap floor team (or a super rich team like Rangers or Leafs) . Krug is never playing again.

Blues need to make trades to find room for Ekblad or at very least, to try & keep 2 or 3 out of their 4 expiring contracts.

18 Jun 2025 00:24:14
N. Robertson for M. Marchment. (Dallas saves $3 million in cap).

J. Middleton & R. Hartman for M. Rielly (Minny saves $1 million in cap & signs Mantha).

Leafs dump Kampf, Jarnkrok & Reeves, sign Bennett, Pacioretty & B. Tanev.

Nylander-Matthews-Knies
Marchment-Bennett-Domi
Tanev-Laughton-Hartman
Pacioretty-Cowan-McMann*Holmberg

OEL-Middleton
McCabe-Tanev
Carlo-Benoit*Myers

Stolarz-Woll

Calgary: Anderson
Dallas: Bichsel
Just wondering where the value could be in a trade like this

13 Mar 2025 02:02:38
Hey it's my first post here, I've been reading you guys for a bit! It's nice to read you all!

Being a fan of the Habs, I wonder what it would take to land Crosby! Here's what would be my offer at the draft if both Habs ans Calgary Pick are between 10 and 20:

Crosby
Vs
1st habs 2025
1st+Calgary 2025
Dach

Habs get the perfect Center for Demidov and bring Mr. Canada, who grow up as a Habs fan! Habs become a team that should make the playoff next year.
Pens start the unevitable rebuild and hope for Mckenna to be the new Crosby! Pens receive proper picks to build around the superstars they will draft during the rebuild.
Pens also capitalize on a guy that can only lose value.

What do you all think?

13 Mar 2025 23:19:00
I would definitely, but I think we would have to add , maybe kapanen and a 2nd round, I’d still do that ! We could also trade for a winger ( panarin? If available) and sign Matt Duchene for 2c, and if possible trade for dobson’s rights
Slavkovsky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov ( Crosby, Duchene)( panarin laine)
Gallagher Newhook (roy laine)
Heinemen Evans Anderson
Hutson Dobson
Guhle carrier
Xhejaj (Matheson, struble, Mailloux ,, reinbacher)

14 Mar 2025 17:09:12
i doubt Crosby moves at all. However, if he did there will more than likely be some young NHL pieces involved instead of pure futures.

14 Mar 2025 20:31:14
Crosby probably wants to pass Mario before he leaves if ever. Could see him ok after that?

14 Mar 2025 20:49:19
I would love to see Crosby wearing the Habs jersey, however, I think the timing is a couple years to late. if he was 34, maybe even 35, sure, but he's gonna be 38, by the time Habs might be potential serious contenders, he's 40.
I doubt he would, but wish Jets or Oilers could get him, as they are right there for the Cup, would love to see Captain Canada win one more, especially for a Canadian team ( not Leafs though)

15 Mar 2025 18:20:15
Welcome to the page Whazzup?

Seems like Crosby wants to stay in PIT, so though I don’t foresee PIT trading him, good on you to get your first post up. I look forward to seeing more from you?.

16 Jan 2025 00:53:12
Montreal trades with Dallas
Mtl sends David Savard and a 3 rd
To Dallas for mavrik Bourque
This gives mtl a replacement for the 3rd line center trade Dvorak or evans ( if the offer is too good to say no)

16 Jan 2025 02:25:31
I'm not opposed to this. I just don't know if Dallas would say yes.

16 Jan 2025 10:23:11
I simply dont see them doing this. Makes more sence to offer draft capital instead of promising young guys. These young guys are intouchtables IMO.

Johnston, Wyatt
Bourque, Mavrik
Stankoven, Logan

What is equivalent (in draft picks) to Savard? Maybe.

2nd round without retention?
plus 5th with rentention?

16 Jan 2025 16:05:56
change it to Savard, 2nd, Mesar for Bourque.

16 Jan 2025 17:10:49
LOOKYN17: I think that valuation looks about right for Savard.

The big determination though will be how many RD are available, and who needs what. For a defensive/ shut-down RD like Savard, I see EDM as needing him the most. However, EDM doesn't have as many trade assets to work with.

07 Sep 2024 21:21:13
What about this

N. Robertson
D. Kampf


To Dallas

C. Kyrou Rhd
K. Lind.

02 Aug 2024 02:35:52
Edm:ceci, Ryan. Dallas: Smith. Edmonton: gets cap relief. Dallas gets depth
Defenseman that's better plus a vet leader.. Neither a great de but ceci is better and different.

06 Jul 2024 19:49:22
Toronto, Robertson
Dallas, 6th round pick

Toronto, Lilljegren
San Jose, 7th round pick

Toronto, Kempf
Anaheim, future considerations.

07 Jul 2024 05:17:10
Nice to see a realistic Robertson and Lilly trade on here for a change?.

07 Jul 2024 14:05:17
Anaheim says no.

07 Jul 2024 16:04:27
Lily will be 2nd pair with OEL.

12 Jun 2024 22:38:34
Ducks:
M. Marner RW
T. Liljegren D


Leafs:
T. Zegras RW
C. Gaucher C
2nd 2024 (Ducks)

Stars:
N. Robertson RW
4th 2025

Leafs:
N. Lundkvist D

13 Jun 2024 01:03:38
I like the 2nd trade ?.

13 Jun 2024 12:29:19
Yah that second trade is intriguing. A reunion with his brother could be exactly what Nic Robertson needs. He has shown in a small sample size he can score and be productive; just a matter of sustaining it. Lundkvist, though a little undersized, moves the puck well and is a pretty good skater from what I can tell. Win win for the Stars and the Leafs.

17 Jun 2024 12:33:48
Lol second trade won't happen Nils is a really good, young, RH defenceman. a hot commodity these days!

28 Feb 2024 03:35:58
Cal: tanev, hanifan 50% both. Dal: faska, lundkvist,kyrou, 2 first, 2 3rds. Tanev and hanifan should get a 1st and a young player or prospect, then 3rds for retention. Faska makes money work. Read Dallas has talked about getting both. Anywhere close?

28 Feb 2024 17:06:50
SHOOTS: wow, that's an aggressive play, and it totally works for both sides! This is a really interesting and realistic one Shoots! Nill is the kind of guy to be quiet for a long time and then pull something major if he finds it. Interesting stuff!

29 Feb 2024 01:21:16
Maybe 4ths cause faska is a decent player to get back.

29 Feb 2024 03:06:14
Guess not. ?.

29 Feb 2024 03:24:35
Well got Dallas right i guess, kyrou the offensive d, grushnikov the defensive d so was close, 2nd and 3rd with no retention.

29 Feb 2024 15:35:27
Shoots: it was an excellent proposal, and you were obviously on to something.

29 Feb 2024 15:50:48
What how does kyrou work into this lmfao.

01 Mar 2024 11:06:16
REDWING: what’s your question regarding Kyrou’s inclusion?

22 Feb 2024 02:53:46
Mtl- Savard half retain- 3rd pick 2024

Dal- bourque- 1st pick 2024

At the draft

Mtl- gallagher-1st pick wpg 2024-1st pick dal 2024

Too San Jose, Anaheim or Chicago

For future consideration

Then offer guentzel
5 year 50 M

22 Feb 2024 04:12:15
I actually like the Bourque trade a lot, I don’t think it’s too far off tbh. I don’t think they should dump Gallagher tho, he’s an important leader on that team. Maybe they should use those assets in a package for Zegras if he’s available.

22 Feb 2024 13:09:01
- Good one BFG - I think you're bang on with your asset valuations.

- Two 1sts to get rid of Gally's 3 years @ 6.5M is fair, but crippling, when considering the opportunity cost of what those two 1st round picks could be used for in a trade "for" something.

- Gally has been a good soldier for the Habs, and I think they'll do right by him. Perhaps he wants to go somewhere I think they'll make it happen, such as going home to EDM or something like that.

- For example, if the Gally wanted to go to EDM this summer, maybe they could trade his 3 x 6.5M for Campbell's 3 x 5M, and retain whatever some $ to make it work for EDM. (It would be wrong to bury Gally in the minors, but the Habs don't have anything invested in Campbell. The Habs could retain to make the dollars work and make sure Gally was left to finish his career honourably. He's earned that. )

- A buyout would take 6 looooong years at -333K, 2.1M, 4.6M, 2.1M, 2.1M, & 2.1M. I suspect Gally & the Habs will work out something honourable to allow them both to move on the right way.

22 Feb 2024 13:18:58
I wouldn't do the Guentzel signing though, and I'm not sure Zegras is the right trade target.

I know high end talent is hard to find, but his defensive play makes his net offense contribution far less meaningful. Some scorers get it, and some don't. He's a human highlight reel, but I'm not sure he's the kind of guy that helps win a championship. He feels more like a Johnny Gaudreau.

22 Feb 2024 13:20:03
That would be a great add for the Habs! Value wise I think it's there, my only thing is would Dallas want to part with him. Pavelski, Benn, and Seguin are not getting younger and eventually they will need to be replaced. There's free agency or there's the homegrown route. Do they move a player they've developed into a very promising player or move on from him. I don't know what the answer is to that, but the addition of Savard would sure up their defense even more for a playoff run.

23 Feb 2024 01:20:45
@Chickenfoot that Gaudreau comparison seems really accurate actually lol

23 Feb 2024 04:34:20
I see this

Habs lose Gallagher, Monahan Savard

Gain Bourque and guentzel

(Still have the first cgy pick for Monahan)

Salary wise it balanced and I rather have guentzel over zegras, more complete 2 way player, and playoff experience. 10 M maybe a little overpay but it's mtl. Taxes, media, you have to op a little.

08 Feb 2024 13:49:54
I am adding a bit more in a proposal I posted yesterday.

Pittsburgh Trades
Guentzel
Ruhwedel

Toronto Trades
Bertuzzi
Liljegren
Minton (WHL)

I have added prospect Fraser Minton in my proposal and he is without a doubt a very good prospect.
Remember people dealing with Pittsburgh is also dealing with Dubas the same GM who was in Toronto last year, he also drafted Minton and I am sure he would love to have him in The Pens organization.
This is a good trade more for Pittsburgh's future as their stars are aging and they truly like last year will probably not make the playoffs.


Thoughts ?

09 Feb 2024 06:20:01
After seeing what Lindholm and Monahan got I’d assume Guentzel gets a better package than this.

08 Jan 2024 17:22:22
To CGY:
-2024 1st,Mavrik Borque,Christian Kyrou cap dump (faksa or lindell)
To DAL:
-Noah Hanifin, Dillon Dube

To CGY:
- 2024 1st, Bowen Byram
To COL:
- Elias Lindholm, Dennis Gilbert

To Cgy:
-2024 1st, Topi Niemela
To TOR: Chris Tanev (50 retained), Adam Ruzicka

To Cgy:
-2024 1st, Micheal McLeod, Lenni Hammenaho
To NJ:
-Jacob Markstrom (50 %retained - that's this year plus 2 more @ 3m cap hit)

To CGY:
-Brayden Yager
To PIT:
-Andrew Mangiapane (50% retained- this year and next)

Zary-Kadri-Pospisil
Huberdeau-Mcleod-Sharangovich
Pelletier-Backlund-Coleman
Greer-Faksa?-Duehr

Weegar-Andersson
Byram-Desimone
Solovyov-Niemela

Wolf
Vladar

Let Bourque and Coronato rip up the AHL this year and bring em up at the end of the year. Kyrou and Hameenaho and Yager really fill up that cupboard too

08 Jan 2024 20:16:27
No from Flames
Fair
No from Leafs
Fair
Idk

03 Dec 2023 22:26:13
CGY - Noah Hanifin (50% Salary Retained)
DAL - Conditional 2024 2nd, Logan Stankoven and Nils Lundkvist

Condition: If Noah Hanifin resigns, the pick turns into their 2024 1st.


Jason Robertson - Roope Hintz - Joe Pavelski
Mason Marchment - Matt Duchene - Tyler Seguin
Jamie Benn - Wyatt Johnston - Ty Dellandrea
Sam Steel - Radek Faksa - Craig Smith

Noah Hanifin - Miro Heiskanen
Esa Lindell - Ryan Suter
Thomas Harley - Jani Hakanpaa


Dallas is one of the teams interested in Hanifin and the Flames are willing to let teams discuss a contract to raise the value.

04 Dec 2023 00:07:55
Won’t be Stankoven- he’s one of the best AHLers that Dallas would like to keep.

04 Dec 2023 02:53:54
@Hockey_Dads I mean, they’d have to give up something. I think this would be a fairly reasonable offer. 1st + prospect + 6th defensemen for a top pairing defensemen who you’d likely extend long-term since you’re given the opportunity to discuss a contract before the trade so you wouldnt be trading for a rental.

04 Dec 2023 15:27:21
Bischel, Bourque (French for Huberdeau) 2024 2nd.
For an extended Hanifin and 50% this season
Just slight change but seems in the ballpark.

04 Dec 2023 17:12:56
Yeah hahahahaha Calgary isn’t getting Stankoven or Bourque for anyone on their roster. Awful deal. Calgary will get a 1st and a prospect equivalent to a 2nd for Hanfin tops.

04 Dec 2023 19:26:41
30th overall is basically a second.

05 Dec 2023 11:35:09
Actually, teams can no longer offer trade conditions based on whether a player re-signs or not.

It got to a point where every time a pending free agent was traded a conditional pick was included, so they stopped allowing it in 2020. ?.

05 Dec 2023 13:45:08
@Chickenfoot Thanks for educating me on that, I actually had no idea that happened.

05 Dec 2023 20:16:36
33rd overall is basically a 1st then? Yeah they’ll get a late 1st and a 2nd or a middling prospect.

05 Dec 2023 22:48:42
CASUAL: someone educated me on that actually as well when I had proposed a similar conditional pick shortly after the change was made in 2020, so I’m happy to pass it along?.

07 Dec 2023 03:21:40
Lol ?

Bad deal for Dallas. I won't comment on the prospects. others have, but lindqvist. they just traded for him.

??????????

? Homer trades.

24 Aug 2023 08:00:48
To Toronto Maple Leafs:
RD - Brett Pesce (4.02 @ 1 UFA)
RW - Seth Jarvis (894k @ 1 RFA)
2nd Round Pick in 2024 - CAR

To Carolina Hurricanes:
RW - William Nylander (6.96 @ 1 UFA)


To Toronto Maple Leafs:
RD - Jani Hakanpaa (1.50 @ 1 UFA)

To Dallas Stars:
3rd Round Pick in 2024 - NYI
RD - Conor Timmins (1.10 @ 1 RFA)
LW - Nicholas Robertson (796k @ 1 RFA)


To Toronto Maple Leafs:
LW/RW - Jordan Greenway (3.00 @ 2 UFA)

To Buffalo Sabres:
LD - Jake McCabe (2.00 @ 2 UFA)


Brett Pesce would be an incredible add for the Leafs defense, Jarvis has good potential and was solid in the playoffs.
Jani Hakanpaa registered 224 Hits (#4) last season and is exactly the type of defensemen that the Leafs need.
Leafs get bigger by adding Jordan Greenway.


Tyler Bertuzzi - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner
Max Domi - John Tavares - Seth Jarvis
Matthew Knies - Calle Jarnkrok - Jordan Greenway
Sam Lafferty - David Kampf - Ryan Reaves

Morgan Rielly - Brett Pesce
TJ Brodie - John Klingberg
Mark Giordano - Jani Hakanpaa / Timothy Liljegren

Ilya Samsonov
Joseph Woll

24 Aug 2023 13:43:38
As a Leafs fan I wish all of this would happen. Unfortunately I don't believe any of it would.

24 Aug 2023 15:36:12
#4 in hits for defensemen is what I mean to say #15 overall

24 Aug 2023 19:34:39
Toronto would need to add more to Carolina and it would have to be a sign and trade even still. Could see Leafs adding Liljgren or Niemela and Jarnkrok.

30 Aug 2023 06:06:14
Jarvis might be too much, my opinion peces cap hit to nylander is not far off. Peces and a first because it'll be a late first most like. Others opinions?

17 Aug 2023 16:56:48
Leafs and Jets flip stars

Leafs

Nylander

Jets

Scheifele

Both around the same cap hit and both expiring contracts

17 Aug 2023 17:01:56
Jets would have to add.

17 Aug 2023 17:39:00
Seems like a fair exchange of value, though is WPG more likely to want a C in return?

Curious what IslandJet thinks.

17 Aug 2023 18:05:54
No reason for the Jets to downgrade from a 1C to a complimentary winger for a year. Winnipeg just keeps the better player at the much more valuable position.

17 Aug 2023 19:04:47
Nylander would want way more $ then he is worth and he wouldn't resign in Wpg so the Jets would have to say no.

18 Aug 2023 11:07:42
Makes no sense from either team. Leafs downgrade and get a player who’d switch to wing anyway and jets have no use for Nylander a UFA.

12 Jul 2023 13:05:06
Dallas Trades
Hakanpaa
2nd Round Pick 2024

Toronto Trades
Liljegren

Both very different RHanded Defencemen as Liljegren is the offensive type Defenceman, and Hakanpaa the big hitting defensive Defenceman.
Stars could use another offensive weapon on the blueline, and The Leafs need what Hakanpaa brings.
Because both are on expiring contracts with Hakanpaa being a UFA and Liljegren a RFA, plus the age factor Dallas would have to add a 2nd Round Pick.
Cap is basically a wash also.


Thoughts ?

12 Jul 2023 18:10:15
- Hakanpää is a 6-5 / 218 D who plays all 82 games.

- Lilly is a sweetheart who plays 60+ games, and had zero points in 5 playoff games. He got pushed around and it showed.

- You're not getting the big guy. OR a 2nd for Lilly.

- Last but not least, you described Lilly as an "Offensive Defenceman", but Hakanpää had the same amount of goals and two more assists.

14 Jul 2023 01:39:44
no chance Liljegren worth Hakaanpaa and a pick. . maybe just the pick.
