Leivo isn't eligible. Fehr is who the team is aiming for Vegas to take.

Vlasic isn't the top defenseman that the Leafs need, has a no trade, and is going to want too much money.

Not sure why they would want JVR in return. I don't get why you're giving Sosh away for a pick, he has more value on your team especially on the 4th line.

You dump Marincin and Marcheynko for nothing for no reason.

As well you're another person who over values players for 1 year of service time, and you value "hustle" over "talent" which means you are more worried about try hard people over actual TALENTED players.

I don't get why when someone is an RFA and only has 1 year of service time you would give them so much money. How many players regress after their first year? MOST.

Leivo is eligible , do some research. I would think Vegas would want a young player with upside over Fehr.

I was not saying Vlasic should be their target, I think it should be Trouba, but Im not sure they want to give up that package. Vlasic was just speculated and I was simply stating it would be a good addition. San Jose may be losing Marleau and Thornton or both potentially, may want to get younger up front. Not much out there in terms of UFA this summer.

Soshnikov is terrible, he got passed by Kapanen and has little value to the organization anymore only in a trade, he does not fit the lineup anymore. He was decent on the PK but Kapanen proved he was just as good there.

Marincin is junk and the team would be lucky to get anything to get rid of his contract. Marchenko is not waiver exempt so I suggested getting something for him as I don't think he will be in future plans.

I value a young player who has worked his ass off and had a great year, and can be a valuable member of the team with a cap friendly deal over a bridge contract. I assume you mean Hyman and Brown. Brown on a 3 mil cap hit might be a little steep next season but will prove great a couple years from now. Hyman maybe a little overpaid as well but he worked well with Matthews and can start playing there until an upgrade is found and he can be pushed back down the line where he belongs, on the bottom 6. Teams do not assume their young RFAs will regress, young hockey players usually PROGRESS, and MOST players do not regress after their first year, that statement is ludicrous.

Ive seen you trashing a lot of peoples ideas in the comments, stop being a shithead keyboard warrior and provide something constructive, what are you best friends with Dubas or Hunter or someone in the organization? Get a life dude, its just fellow leafs fans having fun with some ideas to improve the team on an awesome season. Douche bag.

Leivo didn't play the number of games. We don't have what the Jets want for Trouba. Marchenko cost you nothing, so giving him up for nothing isn't a huge issue, and at the same time you could toss him into something.

You assume it will prove a great deal. Hyman isn't staying with Matthews. It's funny how everyone assumes this.

Hyman is 25, he isn't YOUNG. Again, you're not improving the team by giving players contracts they haven't earned. Most forwards at 30 are being pushed out of the league. Hyman plays wing, and doesn't play centre, he doesn't score, he is EASILY replaceable.

I thought this was for people to come up with things that are sane, not just completely insanity.

Leafs will pay Vegas to take Fehr.

Your ramblings are of a spoiled child, the only insanity is the word vomit you spew in your posts. Marchenko is not a top 7 d with the leafs next year and not waiver eligible so I suggested getting something for him instead of losing him for nothing, if you had read my description and further comment.

I also stated Hyman will move down the lineup when an upgrade is found for the top 6, again your reading comprehension is way behind, you are too focused on going on a child-like rant. 25 is still quite young for an NHL player, and most forwards at 30 are not being pushed out, it has become a young mans game but the veterans are not being pushed out, it just shows how little you know here. Hyman is a valuable bottom 6 player, and they make 1-3 million dollars in this league. Your hate for hyman and brown after good rookie seasons is the only thing that is insane here.

The leafs only got a fourth round pick for taking Fehr, so why are they going to pay Vegas to take him off their hands? Especially since Pittsburgh only paid the leafs a fourth to take him.

You are a complete moron, go back to talking hockey with your so-called "agent" or "inside" contacts. LOL

I agree with everything you're saying, don't let this guy get to you. I know they like to aggressively take out their day on Leafs Fan's posts. He's got to use his CapsLock to try to make his argument look good. Here's my thoughts:
1. I have not heard anything about Vlasic rumors so I'd be curious to see them but a deal could be made.
2. I think Soshnikov does have some value but he needs to prove he can put up points, I think Leafs keep him and try to see his potential
3. Brown and Hyman contract I think are pretty close, Hyman I think might get a bit less, Lou will point out in negotiations his poor point totals and realistically Hyman has no leverage. I could see a 3yr x 1.7m deal? A 2yr 1.5m deal?

All in all a good post, 5 stars

Haha, thanks, he never got to me just pointing out how simple minded he is. There are not really much rumours about Vlasic, just speculation, probably will only amount to nothing. I think he would fit in nice with Reilly though. I have buddies that really like Soshnikov too, just my opinion. They may very well keep him, I do agree. He needs to start producing.

The contracts you suggest for Brown and Hyman are pretty good, I think they would like to get a fourth year for Brown and pay him a little more, maybe 2.5? Hyman deal looks good though, I would be fine with 2-3 years at 1.5-2 mil.

Go Leafs!

How is a 33% reduction close?

You won't do 2 years because then he hits unrestricted free agency, better at 3 years.

If you're overpaying Hyman and you are going to replace him then where are you trading him? Lol. You don't seem to get how teams are built.

aellitot, don't where these rumours come from. Not from the Leafs. Just don't think teams are giving up picks for so many of Leafs "rejects"
You are correct above Leivo. He is eligible to be drafted. I don't know why the the so called scholar doesn't understand the eligible rules.....especially the bit give games remaining. I tried to explain to him once, but when what can you a guy who know everything
According to super agent, Hyman is the only player in the league that has to be play 100 games to prove his worth to get a contract to which pays about 2m a year. Even if Hyman is 3rd liner, according super agent, he can't make 2m a year.

Callen Foote, seems to get a lot press on this site. Fans shouldn't put too much value on family pedigree. It's what Callen does, not his Dad. I played RHD, am related to possibly the greatest NHL Dman ever, and also to maybe the most popular captain in Leaf history. Didn't help my pro career.
