I don't think you would need to throw in a prospect like bellows or anyone at all to take Leo. He's a useful player that is just overpaid a tad

why would LA take on 13.5 million in cash for the next two seasons when they are rebuilding? I t would realistacally cost a good prospect to move Leddy

There are like 5 kings fans on this site who proposed this trade.

The isles would not have to add a good prospect to take Leddy. At worst, they might have to retain 500-750 k.

Nah Leddy could eat minutes for us, he looked like he still had it in the playoffs. It would probably cost more than a 6th.

That’s why I only have him returning a 6th. If isles retain salary, he can return as much as a 2nd or 3rd rd pick.

I'm not a fan, I think Mayfield could fetch a nice return on his own, I wouldn't want to use him to shed dead money. I know we're close to the cap, but we could fit Mayfield as is and then either use picks to move Hickey or try offloading Boychuk.

That’s fine, all I care about is extending both toews + pulock For 4+ years. If trading mayfield helps the isles do that, then that’s what they should do

you don't understand covid and teams being broke during the pandemic. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd be shocked if you can move Leddy without giving up an asset

Oh I understand, but that affects leddys return more than anything. Leddy is worth more than a 6th, but that’s what it will take to trade Leddy without retention.

I with you. I'm for trading him, but only for the right return. I've got my eye on Vatrano in Florida, but I can't really see that coming to fruition.

Fair point. I just see isles fans on twitter and the athletic comparing mayfield to toews and it’s not close 😂 - you trade mayfield just to extend toews longer if that’s what it takes , even if you lose the trade.

Toews is our most talented defenseman, he hasn’t even played two full seasons. If he gets a 2 year deal I’m gonna he pissed lol

Personally, i don't love the mayfield trade. they can bury Hickey in the minors for just under 1.5 million. And he could be the emergency d-man. Resign Pulock, and with him, Dobson and mayfield they would be set at right D for a couple years. I think Mayfield was great defensively in the playoffs and a 1.5 million cap hit for another 3 years could be a bargain for them. Saw your comment that resigning the RFA's should be their number 1 priority. i would just want them to be offloading more salary for the value that mayfield has.

I don’t like Mayfield, I think he’s extremely overrated an is nothing more than an average 3rd pairing D. That being said, he plays 2nd pairing minutes on a trotz team and other teams GM/coaches probably think highly of him. Think Karl Alzner in Washington, trotz played him a lot and Montreal overpaid him once he became a UFA- look how that ended up.

I’m not saying mayfield should definitely be traded, but they need to consider it to move out salary.

Lol yeah for sure. They usually say what they want to happen and try to act like they’re being objective.

I’ve seen a lot of isles fans say we should trade toews and keep Leddy, one of the more insane things I’ve seen from the isles fanbase.

Thankfully i haven't seen that. Toews is a younger, less expensive leddy.

Also much better defensively. Toews is our best shot at getting a player on a steal of a contract. He’s a core piece.

Leddy was solid during the playoffs but you don’t assign value to a player based on one playoff run. Hopefully he is traded soon. Honestly I wouldn’t even care if we had to retain 500k

All very realistic in my mind. I’m a big fan of that Toews deal. Only thing I’d change is giving Pulock more term.

I’m seeing a lot of isles fans calling for toews to be traded and saying that mayfield/Greene are more valuable.

If the isles trade toews , they deserve to miss the playoffs next season, because whether you trade toews or not , Leddy has to go anyways with his cap hit.

Pelech-pulock
Greene-mayfield
Dobson-boychuk

If that’s what they try to go with I hope they are forced to rebuild

Even if Toews isn’t as valuable as you say he is, having a Top 4 defenseman (which he uncontroversially is) in a bargain deal is still essential. You’re right, we have a chance at a bargain contract, we should do what we can to take it.

Trotz relies on toews to “babysit” mayfield in that he does all the heavy lifting.

Pelech, Greene, mayfield , and boychuk all can’t move the puck effectively.

Pulock can’t QB a PP and Dobson is more of an elite 5v5 player , PP2, PK1.

I just think half of this fan base is delusional to suggest trading our best puck mover on a team that doesn’t generate much offense. Even if we did acquire Laine, we still need D that can make quick decisions with the puck

The more I think about it, the more I’m okay with just sitting still this offseason. We’re already adding Wahlstrom, Dobson and Sorokin, possibly Bellows. That’s already a lot of change. And in 2-3 seasons, we’ll have a wealth of cap space to pursue star players in trades or Free Agency. In the meantime, we should be giving Wahlstrom and Bellows serious extended shots at a roster spot, Sorokin the chance to take the starter gig and Dobson the chance to play every game and get a Top 4 role by the year’s end. If we REALLY need more help on offense, there’s still the TDL and by then we’ll know a lot more about what we need.
