Description
Some ideas I have been having.

First we trade for Savard who could be a nice pairing for rielly and can come fairly cheap.Once he arrives Dubas can potentially get him to sign an early extension on a 4 year 4.5m or a 5 year 5m mill contract like what happened with faulk and the blues.

Second we trade johnsson and Dermott for Nicholas Paul who can replace kerfoot as the 3c but will sign way cheaper.

Finally for UFAs I went for veteran presence so thorton comes in to be with spezza and clifford on the 4th line. Also signed Jan rutta. He has potential and can sign for cheap so he can be paired with sandin on the 3rd pairing.

Also went to the KHL and signed ivan bocharov. With a current GAA of 1.98 and a sv of 0.935 it will be interesting to see how he does in the NHL. Dubas would probs place him with the marlies just to make sure things go well before testing him out in some NHL games. Who knows if he does well wont have to resign Anderson.

Anyways let me know what u think

lul they would pass on a guy who has had 2 40point seasons and his first year as a center has 28 points for a guy whose has 1 year left and is slowing down i dont think so. Sure savard is good but he only has a year left making his value less a one for one trade with kerfoot and him is fair. As for bracco fresh start on a new team can sign him to league min or flip him in another trade

I would pass yes. Kerfoot is playing against other teams 3rd and 4th lines. Not a big whoop. Savard is playing first line minutes (since Jones injury) and plugs 20 minutes a night every year. He is a minute muncher. Very very important to have on the roster. Every team needs a guy like that. Savard is a stud. Kerfoot is buck a shuck oyster and Bracco is worth nothing. IMO

i have seen this trade posted before and columbus fans have said its fine. Some people even attempted to overpay for the Savard and were told by columbus fans it was an overpayment. If columbus rejects leafs dont care they can look elsewhere as many teams would love to have kerfoot especially on that contract.
Copenhagen liked this.

Sorry... the appeal for Kerfoot has died in Columbus. We need a second line center... not another 3rd line guy. We have Wennberg and Jenner for 3rd lines already. Also Bracco isn’t anything of value to Columbus. He’s yet another depth RW... he’d be stuck in the AHL again.

Maybe if the trade were to also have Holl to kinda replace Savard maybe Columbus does it, but as it stands the value might be fine, there’s just really no interest in the trade from a Columbus stand point. The only difference between Kerfoot and Wennberg is their contracts... oh and the fact that Wennberg has a 59 point season under his belt.. Kerfoots max was 40 but he’s also younger.

This trade could happen at the deadline if Peeke is able to take over the top 4 role from Savard though, so it’s not a no, it’s more of a not yet.

Holls story has been big here and not sure if toronto wants to part from him. I would offer Král, Filip but people who have seen him and who he has played with have told me he could be big in a few years. Then again trading holl for savard could be worth if not toronto could provide a 2nd with kerfoot as with my other trade we have an extra. So would kerfoot a 2nd and if I switch things up dermott for him.

So a 2nd pick kerfoot and dermott for savard (some people have said throw in anderson i said nah i believe columbus would regret trading him as he could bounce back)

Kerfoot and Savard actually rank in the same percentile in %time against elite players.

tbh CBJ should run away with that Toronto deal.

unless they think they can get more at the deadline next year. But this seems like a really good opportunity to get younger. Dermott is awesome and cost controlled, Kerfoot is a solid middle 6 C and Savard (despite playing big high leverage defensive mins) had an absolute down year offensively (as did most of Columbus), but was also really carried defensively by Gavrikov.

I'd say 3 years of Kerfoot and like 5 years of Dermott PLUS a 2nd brings more value than 1 year of Savard.

The main problem is that Dermott is a LHD.

Dermott can play Rd and he's not bad at it.with the excellent coaches in Columbus he should settle fine on the right side. Also knew my revamped deal would be better received lul. I took what muzzin got and applied it to savard except I swapped the first for a 2nd and gave kerfoot as a difference maker

I just don't see this making sense for Toronto (certainly not for Dubas)....

Toronto can't keep dermott our left side is locked (rielly, muzzin, sandin) and we need to upgrade our defense and if it means losing dermott so be it. Dubas will be looking for someone like savard who can come cheap and boost our defense in the summer otherwise this team aint getting far in a cup run

That's way too much to give up for one year of Savard. Oh, the fascination with a right handing shooting Dman. Others team have left shooting Dman playing the right side, but seems like the Leafs can't.
If Paul is truly a legit 3C, the Sens don't trade him for Johnsson and three non NHLers. But really Paul hasn't proved he NHL capable

The appeal for Savard has died. Leafs need a guy on term. Someone like Murphy or signing a guy like Demelo or Tanev.
Savard isn't the one to carry us

tbh, I don't think Savard is an upgrade over Dermott, and that doesn't take into account any of the age/team control differences...That alone makes the trade non-sensical.

Just go after a team with too many right Dmen like Buffalo. Can't you do like Kerfoot for Miller or something?

You would be selling way too low on Dermott right now. His value should be considerably higher possibly as soon as the trade deadline.

Savard would be an upgrade over dermott. This team needs a dman who can block shots and is a beast in his own zone. Savard is that guy. Sure he is old but he is a true RD that could be a perfect partner for rielly. As for Miller is not a good option. He had 1 good season with Vegas than crashed. buffalo kept him mostly in the pressbox this season which is not a good look for him. Out of all buffalos RD montour would probs be the best option but buffalo probs aint trading him and it would be expensive.

As for savard ever since jones got hurt he has stellped up big time on the first pairing.

Dermott may be doing good now but he aint worth keeping. Those numbers were of him primarily on the Left side with one season on the right.

As for Montour hes just finding his place with buffalo

If toronto keeps dermott and puts him on the right it wont work for us. We will have rielly, muzzin, sandin on LD and Dermott, Holl, Liligren on the right. Thats a downgrade on defense and that team wont get anywhere. heck they would have to be outscoring there problems again which is not what cup teams should do

Savard has been carried by Gavrikov. His numbers without him are bad....

As for Montour, that chart included all of his time with Anaheim...Miller had a better season in Buffalo and Montour has been there longer lol...

Again, there are major concerns here with your talent evaluation...

Not sure if you want to hold up Buffalo coaching decisions as a basis for correctness...
