Trades

TOR

Burroughs, Kyle

Additional Details:

The Leafs could benefit from adding another stay-at-home gritty D, and Burroughs fits that bill. He knows his role, keeps the game simple. Big thing here is that contract...... it's good.

Sharks fans may want to keep him, but with the UFA market rather strong on the back end, maybe a deal Greir considers.

SJS

Robertson, Nicholas

Additional Details:

I question if Roberston has a long term future in Toronto with the emergence of McMann, and the play of Holmberg; and that is not to mention Cowan and Minten. Even there, I am sure there will be those that say WTF?

Sharks need scoring, and that is in short supply in the UFA market. Robertson is young and has the upside.....

TOR

Trenin, Yakov

Additional Details:

As much as I like Holmberg's play, I prefer Trenin's experience.

NSH

2024 3rd round pick (NYI)

Additional Details:

One can question if Trotz does this with The Preds in the mix, but if this is a rebuild, I have to think he considers it.

TOR

2026 2nd round pick (COL)

COL

Jones, Martin
2026 4th round pick (TOR)

Additional Details:

Avs have to be looking for a backup. This is completely dependent on Woll's return.

I would think Jones can land a 3rd given his play this year, but since the Avs lack this for the foreseeable future, and even flipping picks does truly work for a couple years, 2026 it is.

Martin Jones isn’t worth a 5th thinking he is worth a 2nd is hilarious.

not getting a 2nd for jones, no sense in buying trenin the rental when holmberg and mcmann are just as good. could probably get more elsewhere for robertson

I flipped picks there bud. I know Jones isn't worth a 2nd, but I will argue his season has him in 3rd round range.

Again, I flipped picks.🤦‍♂️

Holmberg remains waiver exempt, why I would look at the Trenin deal. Keefe has a way of not playing his bench, so having more experience on it may have him actually trying to do it. Trenin amd Gregor are significantly nastier than Holmberg and Gregor.

Lastly, you maybe get more for Robertson, but, for what Burroughs can do (he is playing significant minutes for the Sharks) with 2 years behind this one at $1.1 million, Robertson is very likely the price tag. Not sure how much better one does in a Roberston deal

Ok on the Sharks deal. Robertson playing well so it stings a bit, but a longer term right d with cheap contract makes the sting go away.
