So I don’t think I’d move Kakko or shesty. Both aren’t doing what we expected but that just means no big raises. Right now shesty is earning himself a massive pay cut deal. Kakko will be on a long bridge that again isn’t big. Great for the cap.

I’d definitely more Lindy for picks, I’d be willing to move kreider as he would return some nice pieces. Trouba should stay because Schneider is 3-4 years away from a top 4 spot

But Igor could just walk and the rangers would get nothing, where as the rangers have Kakko’s rights at least

The main point of this is that this “core” has got to go. Too many passengers and guys feeling comfortable with how things are. Trouba might be the worst captain in the league, Lavi isn’t holding any vets accountable. It’s a ****show from GM to coaches to players to goaltending

Starting this July 1st both Kreider and Trouba have a 15 team no trade. Depending on where Trouba's Dr wife does her practice will depend on where he waives.

Yea I know that’s why I picked the 2024/25 year. They currently have full NTC/NMC. I’d move Mika but Drury gave him full NMC for the whole contract lol

What do you want for Lindgren?

I would be interested in Lindgren, Kakko and Trouba for the Leafs.

if they move lindgren they may as well retool/build. we cannot win games without him. i would drive trouba personally to wherever he's traded too. this team has a lot of players that are not worth their contracts. (mika trouba goodrow specifically )

Probably picks or prospects or swap LD

Because of the core. A lot of these players on their 3rd head coach and after a while, it’s not the coaches fault

Id rather trade Trouba, Kakko then Lindgren in that order. Trouba has M-NTC and probably includes all Canada teams, Lindgren is a fan favorite and Kakko is whatever at this point

Schmid or Daws plus Toffoli for Igor

They don’t really need Toffoli. He’s a rental, old and not really a 5v5 play driver. But I guess they could flip him

Fine. Twist my arm. Brendan Smith, it is.

I'll assume none of the Blues LDs are of much interest, except maybe Perunovich. What kind of prospects do they need?

You are sorely mistaken if you think shesterkin isn't going to get paid. With the desperation for good goalies around the league someone will give him 9+ mil in free agency. Potentially in the 10+ range.

Probably LD if Lindgren and Gus are gone. They have 0 RWs either. And now Chytil’s career in jeopardy they’ll need a 3C too

Well, there's Leddy, Krug, Tucker and Perunovich. With B-grade LD prospects Buchinger, Koromyslov, Loof, Fischer, Gaudet and Burns (probably in that order, high to low B rated).

Most available RWs: Saad, Toropchenko, Kapanen, Gaudette, Abramov. At prospect level: Pekarcik, Susuyev

3C: Hayes

Anything ticking a box anywhere? I might also be interested in Kakko.

Lmao. He hasn’t been good all year. If he can get 10 then I want him gone. He’s the equivalent to samsonov or any other replacement level goalie. If a team thinks he’s worth 10M I’m for sure moving him for that package of picks/prospects! Who do you think will pay him 10m???

Guarantee someone pays him between 9 and 11 mil on the open market. It doesn't matter if he is just average this season and next. He has a career .930 in the playoffs, a Vezina trophy, and was top 3 in hart voting. He's built a strong enough pedigree already.

I don't know who will pay him because it is a year and a half out still but someone will.

Mmhmm

New Jersey would be the most entertaining team to sign him as a free agent if NYR let him go

Trouba with 2 mill retained (And split cost for 3rd team 2 mill retained), Chytil and picks for Marner

I mean i will hope and pray NJD give him 7 years $9m+ to ruin their cap. Everyone should know to shoot high on Igor

Either way it would be entertaining. Either NJD destroyed their cap for a goalie that isn't worth it. Or NYR let their Vezina winning goalie cross into jersey and makes NYR's life hell for years.

I'm here for absolute chaos and I love this situation either way.

Not giving up all those assets for another $11m winger who they likely can’t afford his extension
