Anaheim:
W. Nylander RW
N. Robetson RW


Toronto:
L. Carlsson C
T. Zegras RW

27 Mar 2024 10:10:34
I can't see Anaheim giving up on Zegras. and to take Nylander may create havoc on their salary. cap structure evrn though they could probably afford him.

27 Mar 2024 15:56:19
Pretty positive the Ducks want to unload Zegras. He was available at the deadline and likely will be this offseason as well. Nylanders's contract would screw the Ducks in the long run when Carlsson, McTavish, Terry, etc. need new deals.

At The Draft.

Ottawa Trades
BTkachuk
Hamonic
3rd Round Pick 2025*

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Holmberg
DeWar
Liljegren
Cowan (OHL)
1st Round Pick 2024
1st Round Pick 2026 (Lottery Protected)


*Sens have 2 picks in the 2025 3rd Round, their own and Florida's.
The Leafs will decide which one they want at The 2025 Draft.


This would be a trade proposal of the ages, Ottawa imo would look at this as they are still in a rebuild and getting this much for mostly BTkachuk could help them more for their future than not doing this proposal.
Leafs get a LWinger that brings so much to the table it would be worth trading away that much youth and future to get him, Hamonic gives them also what they need a tough right-handed shooting defenceman.



Thoughts ?

25 Mar 2024 14:48:55
Ottawa won't trade Tkachuk, especially for that horrible offer of 4th line NHLers, boarder line AHLers, unproven Junior players, and late 1st round picks.
Stop already with your daily one sided, pro leaf trade follies.

25 Mar 2024 15:40:46
islandjet1
Besides DeWar who is the 4th liner? and there are no AHLers in my proposal, Easton Cowan just set a record for conservative points in London and that's not a prospect?
Liljegren would be third in Defense scoring so that's garbage as well?
Two 1st Rounders aren't worth anything else according to you.
And Holmberg is a solid Winger/ Centre and will only get better.
Look to trade Brady Tkachuk would be a bold move but what is in my proposal is the opposite of what you just posted as besides DeWar being a 4th liner, nothing else in your view applies at all.

25 Mar 2024 22:12:48
Stop it. Ottawa wouldn't accept and the little cost controlled depth we do have should be held onto.

We are a whole ass year away from being ready to make a legitimate push. We have next to zero draft capital, our goaltending is questionable at best, and we are still missing a very solid RHD.

You overvalue our players like no other man and have no idea the value of other teams' players or their importance to their current team.

25 Mar 2024 23:35:21
Adding Tkachuk would mean $62.355 million out of a possible $87.7 million salary cap will be allocated to 6 players, 5 of which are forwards. (Matthews 13.25, Nylander 11.5, Tavares 11, Marner 10.9, Reilly 7.5 and Tkachuk at 8.205)

$24.645 million left to pay 16 players, one of which would be Samsonov looking for an extension and a raise on his current $3.55m salary.

Toronto doesn't get any closer to a Stanley cup by trading their best prospect and 2 1st round picks for another forward.

26 Mar 2024 13:19:09
DrezDave
16 players to resign?
That number is way off, you might disagree with me which you are entitled to about my proposal, but please post facts not fiction.

26 Mar 2024 13:29:39
He never said we needed to resign them he's saying we have $24.645 mill to fill out 16 roster spots. That's not enough to build a contending team. I'm sure you are seeing Vegas trade away their draft capital and are thinking man we should do that too. The difference is they have guys signed at reasonable cap hits so they have built an absolute powerhouse of a team because of it. They can afford to trade draft picks away cause they are likely 3-4 years away from some key players regressing and can wait to add prospects. We are not.

26 Mar 2024 13:32:55
$10.7 million allocated to Knies, Kampf, Reaves, Mcmann, McCabe, Timmins and Woll.

So that's $73 million out of $87 million committed to 13 players.

$14 million left to sign a starting goalie, 3 NHL caliber defenseman, and 5 other NHL caliber forwards.

You want facts? You can't ice a competitive NHL roster when 84% of your teams salary is allocated to only 13 players, none of which are the starting goalie.

26 Mar 2024 13:39:37
MG69
Leafs for next season have 13 players signed, the max on a roster is 23 players so 23 - 13 is 10 not 16, please explain where the other 6 come in?

26 Mar 2024 13:52:55
DrwDave
Woll is the starter next season not Samsonov, which I believe isn't resigned.

26 Mar 2024 14:10:05
Might as well take 2.2 mill off that Hamonic makes @DrwDave so that number now becomes 11.8 mill for two NHL caliber dmen, 5 other forwards, and I won't even say a starting goalie but another goalie to share starting duties with Will. Either way it's not enough to make a competitive cup team.

26 Mar 2024 14:40:40
Good god man he is saying the rest of the cap left over after you take away the cap hits of Matthews, Tavares, Marner, Nylander, Rielly, and Tkachuk would be used on the remaining roster spots whether they are signed to us or not. He also listed the players that are signed through till next offseason and they eat up $12.9 mill. So now we are at around $11.8 mill for the remaining roster spots from either guys in our system or guys we sign. End of the day we need another NHL level goalie, at least 2 NHL level dmen, and forwards to either be signed or from our system. The number is actually even less as I didn't include Jarnkrok.

21 Mar 2024 21:03:24
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 ?

21 Mar 2024 23:58:57
"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.

19 Mar 2024 19:55:19
hi. St. Louis? wanna trade 2 of your quality players for a bag of nothing? No? okay. I'll try somewhere else.

19 Mar 2024 23:20:51
2 of St. Louis Blues quality players balsam8?
Buchnevich agreed is a top forward on an expiring contract next season, and The Blues tried trading him at the deadline retaining 50% of his contract, the other quality player is the 3rd Rounder?
Leafs Players are a bag of nothing including a 1st Rounder?
Sorry you aren't making any sense at all imo.

20 Mar 2024 12:05:52
He's referring to the trade below. But man two fourth liners and a 1st are not getting a top 6 winger and a third. It just isn't happening. We don't need help upfront man, we really truly do not. We need stability in net and some stability on the back end. Like vbbb has said before once Tavares is off the books and is either brought back on a Spezza/ Gio deal or walks that is when we are going to really be competitive. Roughly $9mill to add a good piece or two that will push us over the top. We need to use the little draft capital we do have to replenish our prospect pool. Alot of our prospects are hitting that 23-24 age and most haven't been good enough to compete for a roster spot. And because of that their value in a trade isn't going to be much.

20 Mar 2024 21:14:01
Buchnevich will get St. Louis a much better return than this. There's no rush when they have him for another year.

Toronto also doesn't solve any of their issues with this trade. They have too much cap space tied up on forwards, very few prospects, and even fewer draft picks to build their prospect pipeline.

20 Mar 2024 21:17:06
Even if the Leafs could somehow convince St. Louis to retain 50% salary on Buch, which with this package they cant, that $2.9m would still mean Toronto is using almost $50 million of their team salary to pay 5 forwards.

Because you're a Leafs fan, I have to assume you already know using more than half the teams salary on forwards is not going to win them a cup. right?

21 Mar 2024 16:22:29
Absolutely brutal.

Pinball, even your fellow leaf fans think your trades make no sense, yet you resist everyone's feedback.

Your pre-trade deadline trade ideas were waaaaaay off, and now you're fixated on some version of a trade with STL that's so far off it's a complete waste of everyone's time.

24 Mar 2024 22:27:06
Blues may get a sign and trade for buch at draft.

18 Mar 2024 14:47:49
At The Draft.

Blues Trade
Buchnevich*
Parayko

Leafs Trade
Holmberg
Kampf**
Villeneuve (AHL)
1st Round Pick 2024
5th Round Pick 2024***

*Blues retain 50% of Buchnevich's expiring contract.

**Kampf would have to waive his modified no trade clause.

***Leafs have 3 5th Round Picks in the 2024 Draft, Blues get to choose which one they want.


Treliving I believe will be looking to get bigger and tougher on Defense as well adding a Top Winger for the top 6.

St.Louis might bite at this proposal as it will give them some youth and draft picks minus Kampf of course as he would be a Cap Dump.


Thoughts ?

19 Mar 2024 01:42:19
People know Leafs are desperate to win with the "Core 4". To get better players, Cowen, Mitten are gonna be included. Your 1st is a late 20's the rest is meh. kinda blah. I think if Leafs don't win this year, the window is closed.

19 Mar 2024 01:43:32
Unless Woll becomes upper echelon goalie.

19 Mar 2024 02:31:17
That doesnt get you parayko or buch by itself.

19 Mar 2024 17:09:50
Once the Tavares contract expires and he signs a league minimum contract ( Jason Spezza/ gio like ) then the leafs window truly opens.

20 Mar 2024 21:07:07
Adding another forward won't change the outcome with the Toronto Maple Leafs

Trading another 1st round pick won't change the outcome with the Toronto Maple Leafs

Sit still and stock up some prospects. They need to balance the books and get Marner signed before they can figure out the rest.

2025-26 they'll be back better, until then the Leafs need to sit and their fans need to chill.

At The Draft.

Calgary Trades
Huberdeau*

Toronto Trades
Kokkonen (AHL)
1st Round Pick 2024
1st Round Pick 2026

*Flames retain 1.5 million a year of Huberdeau's remaining contract.


Leafs will have flexibility Cap wise after this season and a trade proposal like this is something both teams might look at, Huberdeau hasn't worked out in Calgary for whatever reason but he is still a Top 6 LWinger imo regardless of his stats the last few years.



Thoughts ?

12 Mar 2024 17:55:58
Calgary takes this offer in a heartbeat this would be an absolute fleecing by Conroy.

Also adding another forward at $9m for 7 more years is not the answer for the Leafs lack of success, you're a Leafs fan so I would assume you already know having more than half the team salary locked up on 5 forwards isn't going to win a cup.

12 Mar 2024 17:58:12
By the way doing this trade would mean Tavares is gone, and after resigning Marner there will be no cap space for Knies, or to fix any of the issues with defense.

Once again, you're a Leafs fan so I'm assuming you know the Leafs need to solve their issues with defense.

12 Mar 2024 19:12:34
Man what lol. Even at 10 million no one is taking Huberdeau especially not the leafs.

12 Mar 2024 20:03:05
Stop this nonsense and delusion. You're really just all for having zero and I mean ZERO depth and not addressing our defense what so ever. Conroy would take this deal in a heartbeat and we would be the laughing stock of the league for paying 6 players north of $9mill next year and expecting to win.

12 Mar 2024 21:51:57
Unfortunately for the Flames and Conroy, they are stuck with this contract. I cant see any GM in the league taking this on.

13 Mar 2024 12:27:11
The scales have tipped. Pinball is now a Calgary fan by the looks of this post.

14 Mar 2024 13:14:26
- Pinball, you are lucky you're not the GM of your beloved leafs.

- I'm not sure how you can possibly ignore your D in favour of trades that mostly target forwards.

- If you watch the playoffs closely this year you will see that teams that build depth in all positions are the ones that are successful.

- To this end, cap management is essential, which means intelligent drafting and development.

- Your team has only 4 of their 12 picks in the first 4 rounds of the next 3 drafts. and you want to trade 2 more of them?

- Teams can't consistently trade away as many picks as the leafs do without it impacting their lineup. Dubas failed, and Treliving did the right thing hanging on to his 2 remaining first round picks.

- Teams need players on cheap ELC's making contributions, especially teams that have too many 10M+ salaries.

- Watch the playoffs and see what successful teams do to become winners. It will help you to create more realistic and readable posts.

If Toronto really wants to make a splash and go for it this year adding these 3 players will help huge imo.

- Puts leaves over the cap.

- Doug Armstrong is a credible GM. Give him a little credit. No way he gives up those players for this kind of package.

19 Mar 2024 23:20:29
If you were to replace Lili with someone else I’d do that @redwing1 I don’t think teams are prepared to give up what’d you’d expect for Paryanko and Buch not that you overate them just that teams generally don’t pay as much as people expect in those types of deals. I fully think Paryanko is close to being on par with Morgan Rielly.

Blues Trade
Parayko

Leafs Trade
Brodie
Timmons
1st Round Pick 2024 or 2026 (STL choice at this upcoming draft)


If Treliving wants to make a serious splash on Defense this is the type of trade he should make, is it enough to get Parayko is the biggest question.



Thoughts ?

07 Mar 2024 22:17:12
- is the reality of the leafs trade deadline moves registering with you in any way Pinball?

- Treliving inherited years of mismanagement from Dubas. The lineup is top-heavy and years of trading picks have left few real prospects and only 3/ 9 picks for the next 3 years’ first 3 rounds of the draft.

- Treliving was always going to be limited in what he could do at the deadline. Everyone seems to understand that.

- given what he inherited, I’d say Treliving has done some decent bargain bin shopping to address his back end needs.

- Edmundson is battling a variety of physical ailments, but he will play smartly within his limitations and make the front of the net unpleasant for opponents.

- Boosh will be a good add for the leafs back end too. Neither he nor Eddy cost much in assets, and they addressed the leafs’ most obvious needs: defensive depth. (As many here have pointed out to you. )

- if the feedback to your one-sided trades that mostly focused on adding forwards doesn’t register with you, perhaps the reality of this trade deadline’s moves and asset costs will.

09 Mar 2024 11:33:18
Treliving improved the team without breaking the bank. Dewar can slot in at any forward position, kill penalties, physical for his size. Boosh and Edmundson add that snarl on the backend.

This wasn't the year to big game hunt. We didn't have the prospect depth or the draft capital that other teams were working with. Hell, we don't have a draft pick in 2025 until the 5th round. This group is going to have to come together down the stretch; continue playing with a bit of snarl and a chip on their shoulder; and hopefully one of the goalies gets hot at the right time.

06 Mar 2024 20:18:08
To Toronto- Parayko and Neighbours

To Blues - Brodie, Minten, Niemela and 2024 first

blues could then flip Brodie for a pick with some retention.

07 Mar 2024 12:57:29
I watched the Blues a couple days after making a Parayko trade and he’s still a horse. the contract is a little scary but he’s solid out there.
Neighbours was also one of the best Blues players out there, I’m guessing he’s next to untouchable.

07 Mar 2024 13:22:36
That doesnt get you parayko not at all. Neighbors isn't for sale. Why would anyone do that?

06 Mar 2024 19:57:50
J. Edmunsson (50% retained) to Oilers for B. Stonehouse & 3rd round pick.

D. Savard (50% retained) to Leafs for N. Robertson & M. Ellis.

07 Mar 2024 05:03:36
are you a Leafs fan by any chance? cause that heavily favours the Leafs

07 Mar 2024 20:36:54
Looks like Edmundson went for a 3rd & 50% retained without the journeyman included. But it didn’t favour the Oilers…lol

Savard makes millions per year by the way.

07 Mar 2024 22:24:21
Savard for the pair of 5’ 9” nobodies?

And 50% retained for this year and next without compensation?

Get real man.

??.

Pittsburgh Trades
RSmith*

Toronto Trades
Gregor
NRobertson (AHL)
3rd Round Pick 2024 (NYI Pick)

*Pens retain 50% of RSmith's remaining contract.


Dubas will be trading age for youth as well as an obvious upcoming UFA by Friday, some might argue Pittsburgh would say no to this proposal, imo this is about right.

Leafs solidify the third line adding RSmith and strength the 4th line moving Jarnkrok with Holmberg and Kampf with Reaves being the 13th forward for any future rough games like The Rangers game.


Thoughts ?

06 Mar 2024 18:35:57
After seeing Senko go for a 3rd and 4th I’d imagine you could drop Robertson from the deal.

06 Mar 2024 20:29:21
Not needed for Toronto.

06 Mar 2024 22:00:14
The Senko trade definitely doesn't set the price for top 6 players value. He had a full NTC. He ultimately got to decide where he went and because of that tied Ottawa's hands as to what they could acquire. They opted to at least get something for him rather than him leaving for nothing at the end of the year. Florida got a steal and bolstered and already very strong lineup even more.

07 Mar 2024 22:25:40
The leafs need D, and have smartly made modest deals for D.

04 Mar 2024 18:58:34
Pittsburgh Trades
Rackell*

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
1st Round Pick 2024
3rd Round Pick 2024 (NYI Pick)


*Pens retain 50% of Rakell's remaining contract.


Pittsburgh free falling out of the playoffs and needing to get younger and draft picks will be looking at making deals similar to this, Dubas who knows NRobertson well would I am sure welcome him in The Pittsburgh organization.

The Leafs looking to bolster their lineup get a better version of Jarnkrok in Rackell and can see his style fit in very well in Toronto and can play on any line as well as wing or centre just like Jarnkrok but has more offence capabilities.



Thoughts ?

04 Mar 2024 20:55:49
Hope not for Toronto. Rakell is not close to being with that.

05 Mar 2024 16:28:42
Rackell has never really been the same guy as he was back in Anaheim. I figured he coulda flirted with 40 goals playing in Pittsburgh, however he has regressed.
If I were Leafs management, maybe small tweaks, nothing to major.

05 Mar 2024 18:08:43
Rackell is a shell of his former self. Pit is stuck with him.

6th Round Pick 2024

Toronto Trades
MJones


Thoughts ?

04 Mar 2024 18:09:49
Value is there, although I think maybe Toronto could ask for a 5th

04 Mar 2024 18:10:25
With Francouz being out, I think this is a good deal for Colorado and gives them a bit more depth between the pipes for cheap

04 Mar 2024 19:30:16
I'd prolly look for a 5th or Package one of our small wingers in the ahl for a higher pick.

04 Mar 2024 21:49:12
Why? Jones is good depth.

04 Mar 2024 22:49:26
Agreed vbbbvvbb. Our goaltending isn't steady enough and injuries could happen down the stretch and in the playoffs. As inconvenient as it is I'd rather have three goalies on the main roster.

03 Mar 2024 16:14:59
Anaheim Trades
Vatrano*

Toronto Trades
McMann
NRobertson
1st Round Pick 2024
3rd Round Pick 2024

*Ducks retain 50% of Vatrano's remaining contract.


Imo makes sense for both Teams.


Thoughts ?

03 Mar 2024 17:36:37
That’s a fairly nice package but Vatrano is on pace for 40 goals on a bad team. Two playoff runs under a 2M cap hit is gonna cost a lot. Maybe if the third had a condition to turn into a 2nd/ 1st based on playoff success?

03 Mar 2024 22:03:59
Ebsolutely
Vatrano about to turn 30 years old in a few weeks having the best season of his career, imo getting a young winger in NRobertson plus a 1st and a 3rd for a rebuilding team is pretty fair for The Ducks.
McMann is on an expiring contract and a UFA after this season and I bet he signs back with The Leafs so he is more for roster size for Toronto and for Anaheim just for this season.
I think this would be a great trade for both Teams imo.

04 Mar 2024 14:43:12
Toronto is really lacking forwards.

04 Mar 2024 21:24:41
Don’t really think his age is relevant, it’s still 2 years of him in his prime. I agree I think this is a big package for him I just thought considering the season he’s having, the cap hit/ term that the 3rd could be conditional. Keep McMann.

05 Mar 2024 16:12:28
NYR likely makes an aggressive offer for Vatrano that I don't think we'd be able to compete with.

03 Mar 2024 14:04:06
Ottawa Trades
Tarasenko*

Toronto Trades
Gregor
Grebyonkin (KHL)
1st Round Pick 2024 or 2026 (Sens choice)

*Sens retain 50% of Tarasenko's expiring contract.


I have brainstormed many different ideas of what if anything The Leafs could do before the deadline, I believe there is one more move to make to improve the forward group.



Thoughts ?

01 Mar 2024 16:56:51
Leafs Deadline deal

1. Washington: Jensen and Dowd (50% retained) For 2024 1st 3rd NYI, Timmins, voit and Niemala

Bertuzzi Matthews Robertson
Jarnkrok Domi Nylander
Knies Tavares Marner
Dowd Kampf Mcmann

Reilly Jensen
Brodie Liligrin
McCabe Benoit
Lybushkin
* Gio LTIR *

Woll
Samsonov
Jones


To Explain the Roster shift.

Marner and Matthews is to predictable as they will get shut down so they should diversfy the lines and have Tavares and Brodie more realistic roles. Also will have one extra Goalie and defencemen to rotate in and out.

01 Mar 2024 18:33:12
It's important note only dowd is 50% retained for the deal.

02 Mar 2024 19:55:13
we just traded for lyubushkin and your already benching him until an injury. nty.

02 Mar 2024 19:58:26
A 1st for those 2 is steep. Maybe Simplify it to Timmons, Volt and 1st for the two. But I don’t think these 2 will require a 1st but that’s a trade I wouldn’t hate as a leafs fan.

seems like an overpayment from TOR

Ottawa Trades
Tarasenko*
6th Round Pick 3024

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
McMann
1st Round Pick 2024

*Ottawa retains 50% of Tarasenko's expiring contract.


For Toronto they add upfront that can only help for the playoffs, NRobertson and McMann have played well enough that they have trade value, adding the 1st Rounder Ottawa would insist on because of the retention.

For Ottawa it's another year out of the playoffs and they will be shipping out players on expiring contracts like Tarasenko and looking towards the future, in my proposal The Sens get 2 forwards that will give them some more depth at The NHL level plus a 1st Rounder.


Thoughts ?

Tarasenko is not needed. Rather the pick and the younger players.

02 Mar 2024 19:56:41
tarasenko has been one of my targets all season, he has the tools needed to do well in the playoffs.

02 Mar 2024 19:58:49
Senko doesn’t return a 1st.

03 Mar 2024 14:10:07
Toronto doesn't need a scoring forward they need defensive depth.

05 Mar 2024 16:14:44
Tarasenko may fetch a first if it becomes a bidding war for his services. Otherwise return is likely a prospect and a 2nd.

Seattle Trades
Larsson*
6th Round Pick 2024

Toronto Trades
Timmons
Hildeby (AHL)
Grebyonkin (KHL)
1st Round Pick 2024

*Kraken retain 50% of Larsson's remaining contract.



Thoughts ?

- This the same trade you posted yesterday, except you swapped AHL player you included.

- Do you seriously think it makes a difference whether you have Hildeby instead of Abruzzese?

- I don’t think Ronnie Francis looks at this and goes, “wow…Hildeby? We are DEFINITELY doing this deal NOW! ”.

Chickenfoot
Seattle an expansion team only a few years ago has no serious prospect depth.
Look at the ages of all the goaltenders at The NHL and AHL level, Hildeby will be a stud goaltender because of Woll he is expendable.
Timmons is out now but will be more a next season defenceman for Seattle, Grebyonkin is a good prospect and adding a 1st Round Pick only helps for the future.
Why do you think a team like Seattle wouldn't want prospect depth?
Larsson is good but this isn't an AllStar they are trading.
We can agree to disagree but Ron Francis knows you build by having prospects and draft picks, minus a few players the entire organization has castoffs from other teams and not very many prospects.
So your logic again makes no sense.

29 Feb 2024 10:29:18
Don't think you see GMs take a chance on a guy like Grebyonkin until they see what he looks like playing on NA sized ice and how adjust to the different style of play. Obviously the potential is there for him to be an offensive NHLer, but his defensive game needs work and lots of it.

Hidleby has great numbers in the AHL and it is unfortunate Keefe didn't give him a game or two when he was up with us to see how he would fair. If he's going to be a "stud goalie" why are we trading him when goaltending is an area of weakness for us?

Because Woll is our Goaltender going forward, plus Toronto has Peksa and Akhtyomov as future Goaltender prospects.
Toronto is actually deep with Goaltender prospects so Hildeby is expendable, and Seattle has no serious Goaltending prospects.
That's why for both Teams.

29 Feb 2024 13:27:43
We would be foolish to put all our eggs in the Woll basket. He's looked good in a small sample size there's no denying that, but until I see him log 40+ games in the season and put up good numbers I'm not willing to say that's our guy. If Hildeby is as good as we are hoping why would you not want to hold onto him and run a tandem of Woll and Hildeby rather than find a stop gap backup year after year? The other two you mentioned are probably 3-4 years away from potentially being able to compete for an NHL job. Seattle has 8 picks this upcoming draft and that's without any trades yet to potentially happen. They can easily grab a couple goalie prospects this draft.

You were onto something when you suggested a guy like Rutta or Brown. And thankfully Tanev didn't go for what I and most others thought he would go for so the odds of it costing a tonne to get a player like that went down. Larsson would be a great add, but Francis doesn't need to move him and can hold onto him till they get the deal they want which I don't think will be this. Rather hold onto our 1st and get another prospect (since we have very few of them) and see where we are at in the summer.

PINBALL: Thanks for the unintentionally hilarious lesson in how to build a team. that was awesome! It's always notable to be condescended to and insulted by someone with your hockey acumen. You're on fire today Pinball!

03 Mar 2024 00:32:37
Seattle drafts a goalie in the 2nd round, back in 2022, then pinball claims Seattle has no goalie prospects.
You can't make this stuff up.

04 Mar 2024 15:50:15
@Renidrag I find it more ironic he's talking about Seattle having no prospect depth when we (the Leafs) don't either lol.

Montreal Trades
DSavard*

Toronto Trades
Villeneuve (AHL)
Grebyonkin (KHL)
1st Round Pick 2024

*Montreal retains 50% of DSavard's remaining contract.


A trade that helps the future for Montreal, The Leafs finally get there RHanded Veteran Defensive Defenceman.


Thoughts ?

28 Feb 2024 09:57:12
If Savard gets traded it’ll be for a 1st or equivalent plus.

I assume the Russian is there for trolling & fun, and in the spirit if that I appreciate the sense of humour ?.

Neither prospect moves the needle for me personally, and I fully expect Tampa or someone else will make a much more compelling offer.

28 Feb 2024 11:59:18
Savard isn't worth a first.
