Description
Right now, the Leafs are stuck between two completely different identities; the Dubas identity and the Treliving identity. This paired with the unfortunate loss of our starting goaltender has been the main catalyst for the Leafs shocking mediocrity this year. There are too many things that need changing in too little time for us to genuinely compete this year, with all of the time thus far being spent on extending Matthews and Nylander. Personally, I'd like to see the Leafs strategically retool our roster by selling off pending UFAs and giving us the flexibility to address our needs via the draft (which should be easy enough with the amount of fantastic defensemen available this draft).

If we are being real with ourselves, it is no surprise the Leafs have been mid this year. Changing GMs is not a small thing. Look at how long it took Dubas to get the roster to his liking after Lou's departure. The same with happen with Treliving. We will have the flexibility to address our needs via free agency and the draft if we sell at the deadline, which I kind of think has been the strategy all along. Make the tough decisions Brad, it's what is best for the team
Trades
1.
TOR
  1. Kuzmenko, Andrei
  2. Silovs, Arturs
  3. 2024 1st round pick (VAN)
Additional Details:
Leafs add a player who could fit into their system nicely in Kuzmenko, while also adding a talented young goaltender and a first
VAN
  1. Bertuzzi, Tyler ($2,750,000 retained)
  2. Brodie, TJ ($2,500,000 retained)
Additional Details:
Canucks are supposedly looking to add a top 6 forward, and shoring up your blueline in time for a playoff push wouldn't be the worst idea. Bertuzzi would be a killer in Tocchet's system
2.
TOR
  1. Sýkora, Adam
  2. 2024 4th round pick (NYR)
  3. 2025 4th round pick (DAL)
Additional Details:
Leafs get a very slept on young prospect in Sykora, while also adding a few later picks
NYR
  1. Domi, Max ($1,500,000 retained)
Additional Details:
New York strengthens their center depth with a cheap, tenacious, highly skilled playmaker with some bite. Looked great in the playoffs last year with the Stars. Would be a clear upgrade on Brodzinski at 3C while Chytil is out.

Kuzmenko isn't the guy who helps Matthews and Marner. They need a Hyman/Bunting player.

Logic is sound although I think VAN would have to pay some extra 3rds/4ths for the retention being given. Im a big fan of trading our UFAs.

Also it's hilarious to me how some people in A-GM just assume that teams 100% have or do not have interest in someone. None of us really know whats going on behind the scenes.

Easy pass for the Leafs.


Silovs and a 1st are way more valuable to the Leafs than ~20 games of Bertuzzi and Brodie. Kuzmenko helps our foward depth next year. Not really sure what there is to decline here, neither of those 2 guys will be Leafs next year anyways
