Blockbuster trade for Connor

Created by: Letsgoleafs
Team: 2022-23 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 20, 2022
Published: Jul. 20, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
If John Tavares Waives his clause, then this will work. Swapping Nylander and Connor would work for everyone because the Jets now have an 80-point player, two prospects as well as a 2nd. Grubauer hasn't been performing that well in Seattle. With John Tavares, they get a captain, a proven leader and a solid 70-point player. With Kerfoot, he's improving, with 51 points this year, compared to Vinnie Hinostroza's 25. I believe the Sabers would take him with a 7th. All lineup positions are up for debate. i hope you like it.

Grubauer was not good last year and Murray and Samsonov was signed. What is the point in the kraken deal?

I believe that Grubauer will get good again with a change of scenery. Matt Murray is a huge gamble, so it's best that we get a goaltender that's a smaller gamble to hopefully balance everything out.

Sabres don't want Kerfoot. Peterka and Quinn are there. And Vinnie is just a extra.

Tavares has a high cap but losing him makes the second line terrible. Dubas will probably convince him to take 750k when his deals up so it will all be worth it. The other 10.25 mill will end up in Matthews bank account, plus the 12 mill hes already making.

You know the depth is rough in Toronto when a fan makes a trade for a guy slated to be our 11th-14th forward (depending on how JJP,Quinn look) and puts him in their top 6.

Connor >>>> Nylander. Connor’s arguably Winnipeg’s best player and he’s locked in for another four years. Nylander’s only got two and will most likely walk with Dubois Scheifele Wheeler and Hellebuyck all at the same time. A couple meh prospects and a late second isn’t bridging that gap.

But that's where Connor comes in on the second line. Hopefully with Gourde it will be good.

What if I added Robertson and a third?

Don’t think the leafs have the prospects to make this deal. Robertson doesn’t move the needle much.

Okay then. What about Nylander for Scheifele? 1 for 1?

I doubt it. Tavares is 1C material and is way better than Gourde.

Jets still decline. Center is a more valuable position than winger, and with all the PLD drama, they don’t want to get caught with their pants down without a top center.

But he also costs twice as much as Gourde.
