I know it's high risk but thoughts on trying to pry Korczak from Vegas.

He's a 6'3, 201lb RHD who is 23. Played 26 games this year and crushed his minutes defensively. Much better than Boosh or Edm. He's currently in the minors. Looks like he could be a solid #3/4 DFD RHD in a couple years. But even now he seems like a candidate to do what Byram did a few years ago or Harley did last year just having a crazy playoff run despite not being an NHL regular.

They are rumoured to be looking for more help upfront. Would Jarnkrok be a piece that interests them? Maybe McMann if we aren't sure we can resign him? Robertson if they want someone with a scoring touch?

Would allow us to trade Lili and Brodie then run a d core of:

Rielly - Boosh
Benoit - McCabe
EDM - Korczak
Gio

Might not be highly skilled but you'd pay a price for your goals.

If Brodie gets moved after their Silverberg could be a good replacement for Jarnkrok. Likely gets a 6th at most since he's at $5.5M and Anaheim is out of retention slots. He's had crazy good analytics in a bottom 6 role this year would likely perfectly replace Jarnkrok just without the ability to slide him into the Top 6 but you can do that with Tavares.

Alright, so tomorrow is the TDL. Just for fun, lets make some predictions:

1. Will Timothy Liljegren still be on this team?
2. Do we still own our 2024 first?
3. Are we adding another defenseman, forward, or both?
4. Over or under 2.5 trades?

My guesses are:

1. No
2. Yes
3. Both
4. Under

No
No
Defenseman (we only add a forward if we trade one away)
Over

Yes (injury insurance)
Yes
Yes
Under

Whether its part of a trade or waivers goodbye Gregor

Done with him

Gimmie a responsible nice 4th liner who can play C/RW

Just realized Edmundson revenge game Saturday

1. Sadly, no
2. No
3. Both
4. To be different, Over

And Reaves revenge game vs Wifi

The one thing I will say in terms of Liligren potentially getting moved okay if u do whose QB PP unit 2?


As none of the other guys can do it. Thats why im not 100% sure hes going

As Brodie cant anymore, Gio and Timmins wont be in the lineup, Benoit cant, McCabe kind of can but u dont want that, Edmunson and Boosh cant so are you double duty Mo?

Injuries also be a concern as it seems someone gets hurt per week now here

I mean the guy jumped him when he was looking down so if anything it just showed he be a coward. Fight the man face to face lul

From tonight:
- Second half of a b2b with travel
- 4 fluke goals
- Leafs physically dominating Bs
- Bert killed his fight
- Marchand looks soft

I'd consider this a good game

I'm saying Reaves talked a lot of smack postgame so he should be motivated

Oh totally they for sure dropping em if not then its gonna be one of the leafs Dman

Was looking around the league and Lazar's name came up

Hes got another year left at 1m and is another guy who can bring some grit to the bottom 6, is good at faceoffs and who can PK

His defensive impact is at a 97 to

I dont know if NJ would move him but hey worth a call

They've got to find another top left winger IMO... Imagine Buchnevich or Toffoli...

Buch/Toffoli/Knies-Matthews-Marner
Bert-Domi-Nylander
Buch/Toffoli/Knies-JT-Jarny
McMann-Kampf-Reaves/Holmberg

Sounds good... That BOS game showed the Leafs have no plan if Knies gets hurt at the LW1 spot so they need a guy for that... Luckily, there's 2+ guys available for that spot and shouldn't be very expensive if we learned anything from Guentzel

Blues are also willing to retain 50% on Buch for this playoffs and next so you got a guy with term

They have Robertson no need for a LW. He should be up playing rn and with Knies injury got a feeling hes getting a call up



Blues want way to much for Buch and I doubt they go full 50% ret


Just go get a nice bottom 6 PK RW/C at a reasonable price

Toffoli maybe but I doubt NJ says sure give us a 3rd + Tverberg lul


Like I just dont think Brad wants to spend the 1st this year. Which if u think of it kind of smart

Spend low picks on players then recoup at the draft using the first in trade downs

Robo wants out I thought?

No that was Frank who said that than Friedman reported something else

Friedman said they told him his send down would be for a short bit. Well that vacation just ended

As now hes got an opportunity to be top 6

Cause lets be real after the other two trades I dont think Brad wants to spend the 1st. Maybe he surprises tomorrow but I feel he is spending the low picks then at the draft using the 1st in a trade down will recoup stuff

Who knows... There's a reason why he's listed as trade bait, bc he isn't a Treliving player

Exactly. The difference in philosophies between Dubas and Treliving is jarring. There is going to be a ton of turnover these next 2 - 3 years

Kind of depends actually Brad has drafted similar players to Robertson. Pelliter for instance

His one flaw be defense but put him in the top 6 its basically k u get a shot with the big boyz. Hes also produced and has a wicked shot. Got a feeling he comes back up then they add someone for the 4th line and waive Gregor

Pelltier's also been HS a lot like robo...

I'm just saying who knows...

I actually dont think so due to one pick Brad made in 2019

Jakob Pellitar

5'9 170 pounds picked 26 OA in 2019

That sounds awfully familiar

Nick Robertson

5'9 178 pounds

I mean HS has 0 to do with a GM but the coach they choose if they want to play them

Still...
