All Possible Players The Leafs Can Target

Created by: Agent_Of_R9
Team: 2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Nov. 13, 2021
Published: Nov. 13, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
To find upgrades, Leafs are going to need to move out salary. You can get rid of Ritchie & one of Holl/Dermott which clears 4 million, also could ship out Engvall when Mikheyev is healthy. So that’s 5 million.
Trades
1.
TOR
    Dylan Strome

    *Strome has fallen out of favor inn Chicago, but has proven to be productive in the past. From 2018-20, he had 2.5 points per 60 at 5v5 when playing alongside Kane & DeBrincat. Last season, he scored at a 4.76 points per 60 rate in 126 minutes alongside Kubalik & Kurashev. I think he could provide some depth scoring alongside Spezza to start, plus wouldn't be expensive.
    CHI
      Denis Malgin / Joe Miller
      2.
      TOR
        Evgeni Malkin (50% Retained Salary)

        *If PIT is out of the playoff picture by playoffs, Geno is one of the more expensive rentals I could see TOR targeting. Amongst active players, he is 3rd in playoff points per game and has led the playoffs in scoring twice. He still played very well in last year's series.

          Alex Kerfoot
          Topi Niemela

          3.
          TOR
            Alexis Lafreniere

            *This is a lot to give up for an unproven player but I truly believe that under a good player development coach like Keefe, Lafreniere would be successful. He would be given more opportunities to utilize his strengths such as forechecking, net-driving and puck carrying in transition. His current 0.7 iXG/60 + 0.8 xA/60 is not far off from the likes of Panarin, Marner, Marchand, Kaprizov and Kane, so under better player usage, he could be a beast.

              2022 2nd Round Pick
              4.
              TOR
                Tomas Hertl (50% Retained Salary)

                *Aside from Geno, Hertl will probably be the best player available at this deadline, so expect him to be costly.

                  2022 1st Round Pick
                  5.
                  TOR
                    Filip Forsberg

                    *He may cost more than this but I just based this off the 2019 Taylor Hall to Arizona trade. He provides power forward qualities as well as elite puck carrying skills, he will play in the top 6.
                    NSH
                      Dimitry Ovechnikov
                      Axel Rindell

                      6.
                      TOR
                        Taylor Hall (50% Retained)
                        Brandon Carlo

                        *The main reason why I offered so much is because both players have term at a reasonable cap hit. Boston is in a tough situation as they have major holes on the team from the Krug, Krejci and Rask departures. I can see them following out of the playoff picture and selling some pieces, Hall would be a good complimentary forward due to his forechecking and Carlo was excellent alongside Krug.

                          TOR
                            Rickard Rakell
                            Josh Manson

                            *Not too much to give up, but it is for 2 pure rentals. Rakell is like a poor man’s Forsberg and Manson would be a defenceman who’d solidify the Leafs’ defence.

                                Jakob Chychrun
                                Alex Galchenyuk

                                *The most expensive trade suggestion of this post, Chychrun is a struggling defenceman on a rebuilding team, but in the past he has shown he can perform at an elite level. Alongside someone like Muzzin, he could give Toronto one of the best D cores in the NHL.

                                    John Klingberg

                                    *Two rentals for a high price once again, Pavelski could add to the Leafs powerplay woes while Klingberg solidified the top pair alongside Muzzin.

                                        Gostisbehere has quietly had an excellent year while Crouse plays like the idealized bottom 6 power forward.

                                              These posts… you know the are coming around on me again… for the humour that is. The value you have in these trades is insane. If Niemela really is a valued prospect, why don’t we keep him? The only prospect you have not traded is the one I believe truly is a bust and that is Robertson.

                                              Leafs are showing that depth is vital to a team all season long. No point of trading anyone at this point. Holl is back to form. Playing 20+ mins a night. Not something easily replaced. For 2 million a year.

                                              Don't think it's going to be really nice to trade Matthew Knies.

                                              Just want to hear your opinion since you are a Leafs fan who posts a lot.


                                              I'm not a Leafs fan, nor do I post a lot really. Please stop tagging me in all of your threads.

                                              Are you high? For starters it's way to early to be even considering calling Robertson a "bust". Secondly, he's played 33 career pro games between the AHL and NHL and has 20 points in those games. He scored at a 0.76pph rate as a 19 year old rookie in the AHL last season, despite playing in a horrendous Marlies team. He's been hit pretty bad by injuries this far in his career, but to even mention his name in the same sentence as the word "bust" isn't even remotely close.

                                              Pass the blunt kid. You took too much of a hit.
