If Matt Roy would cost only $3M AAV, the Kings would have already re-signed... He will cost you something north of $5,5M.

Because the Kings were in the mix for a possible Saros-deal before, I can tell you that Barry Trotz will not give you Saros plus their 1st rounder even if the return is Marner. His asking price is extremely high.

I don't get how we're on year 3 at least of Leafs fans thinking a Boone trade is realistic. The Jackets are in love with the guy and he's not going anywhere.

Realistic? Lmao

No chance Nashville pays that for a rental
Columbus gets fleeced
Matt Roy is getting at minimum 5M and 6 years on the market, probably closer to 6x6
Montour is not signing a 4 year deal, he will want at least 7x7, probably more after what Hanifin signed for

A rental, did you miss the extension of 6x11? Marner has spoken highly of nashville. If anything the leafs get a rental with Saros and a winger with way less potential?
Dumais has eerily similar numbers to Robertson in junior? The difference is robertson had one of the highest shooting percentages in the NHL this year and has proven at the next level and columbus has a boatload of prospects?
Columbus cant score.. Columbus has zero defence..
2 Proven NHLers for a 30 year old Boone Jenner and an unproven undersized prospect.
To be fair I was not sure about Matt Roys value in the market. Either or you can just replace that contract with Alex Carrier
If Montour wants 7 years, than give him 7 years.

Saros isnt protected! He is a rental. At the bare minimum that trade starts with Saros, and one of Tomasino or Evang. If it were up to me I would say **** Saros and look elsewhere and take their pick. This years pick for them is there only safe option at making a deal including one. We have no idea if Nashville is even competative next year or not its to much risk for them.

Hey you're new so FYI if you are replying to someone hit the quote button on their post. Otherwise they don't get pinged

As for your response:
1. Marner cannot sign a contract extension until at the very earliest July 1st. Your trade includes Nashville's 2024 1st round pick and the draft takes place in June so no I did not miss that you wrote down he has an extension. Also how can you apply the logic of Marner isn't a rental but Saros is? That makes no sense. Lastly Pending UFA's are always valued as rentals. There is no benefit to a sign and trade whatsoever so the acquiring team is the team that negotiates for a contract extension or not. The selling team has no say in that.
2. That is a very ignorant take on Columbus. They are a very young team, and players take time to both develop and get used to the NHL. They are no longer the best player on the ice like they were in junior. Not to mention they were plagued by a lot injuries this year, Provorov is the only player that played all 82 games. Kekalainen basically got fired because he was shopping Jenner and ownership doesn't want to trade him. Also who exactly is Robertson replacing on that team, he's a middle 6 winger and they already have Gaudreau, Laine, Voronkov, Chinakhov, Marchenko, Johnston, Sillinger, Texier, and soon to be joining them is Gavin Brindly too. As for their defense, who exactly is Liljegren better than? Not Werenski, not Provorov, not Severson, not Jiricek. You could maybe argue he's better than Boqvist but that's a coinflip. So he's better than Bean and Gudbranson? Well Gudbranson plays an enforcer role that Liljegren obviously can't play.
3. Top 4 defensemen are always in high demand, right handed ones are always in higher demand. Carrier is going to get more than 3M too

Wait till July 1st and replace with a good prospect than, I imagine Wood is untouchable so if no prospect Tommy Novak?
Id rather Robertson than Sillinger or Texier. As you said the rest are still taking time to develop as is Robertson, the kid is 22 and has proven he can score. With the logic you're arguing where will Dumais fit then? May aswell have more bullets in your chamber.
Well Werenski and Provorov are LD so not even in the conversation.
Right side is looking like Severson,Boqvist,Gudbranson (Liljegren has had better numbers throughout his career than Boqvist and a higher ceiling; the guy would have went top 5 without missing half the season with mono)
So I would say Severson,Liljegren,Boqvist and dump the Gudbranson contract (You cant possibly tell me he is worth what he is paid)
As for your initial comment; could i see Columbus saying no? Absolutely
Is it a fleece? No

I also dont see Carrier making more than 3, I think he gets 3, and wants some term. But not more. Just my opinion.
Thanks for some good discussion though you make some good points

Correction I completely forgot about Jiricek, Id still run Severson,Liljegren,Jiricek over Boqvist and Gudbranson
Werenski-Severson
Provorov-Liljegren
Bean-Jiricek

Columbus need more Boone Jenners, not less. They are not getting a replacement for him in this deal. Just because they are bad right now doesn't mean they will perform charity for the Maple Leafs by trading their heart-and-soul captain and a really good prospect for a D that Toronto won't keep and a young bottom 6 F.

And if they are trading their unproven and undersized prospect Jordan Dumais who has consistently put up absolutely stellar numbers in the minors, it will be in a quantity-for-quality trade to acquire a star player. Not to acquire Liljegren and Robertson.

Nashville isn't going to make Evangelista available, Tomasino sure but not Evangelista. Then replace the 1st with Fabbro or Parssinen and a trade is probably close to fair.

You may rather have Robertson than Sillinger and Texier but they are all roughly the same caliber player (Texier a couple years older but missed a season and Sillinger a couple years younger). It is a swap at forward of Robertson for Jenner, not Robertson and Sillinger or Texier, which is absolutely a downgrade for Columbus. And as mentioned before Columbus ownership fired their GM for trying to trade Jenner. As for Dumais, he has 3 years of ELC still and is waiver exempt until 27/28. Not to mention he is regarded as a top ~20 prospect right now. Robertson looses exemption this summer and Liljegren lost it 2 years ago.
WDYM Liljegren would have went top 5? Like in the draft? He isn't that good, and trust me I like Liljegren. Both him and Boqvist are very mid defensemen. Both have been given the opportunity and have failed to take the next step on multiple occasions. In reality they probably trade Boqvist this offseason to give Jiricek a spot in the top 4. I am not arguing whether or not Gudbranson is overpaid but the fact remains that he is still a solid PKer and one of the best fighters in the league. You simply will never get that kind of play from someone like Liljegren. They may not even qualify Bean either so that they can promote someone like Svozil, Ceulemans, or Mateychuk.
I call that trade a fleece because Dumais looks could be a Gaudreau level steal from the 2022 draft and Jenner is by far the best player right now in the trade (FYI the last person to put up scoring like that in the Q was like Crosby and Radulov, albeit Crosby did it before he was drafted)

Severe Lowballing on UFA's Roy and DeMelo.

This is worse than the delusional Tampa fans lowballing Stamkos' next contract. 😬

Speaking of Lowballing, what's with that Jenner trade? 🤔

How do you know Nashville won't keep Saros and trade Askarov?

Trotz doesn't have to trade Saros just because a sensitive Sally Leafs fan wants him to. LOL

Not a chance, that 1st isn't even available for Marner. Nobody will be trading for him until after July 1 and his signing bonus is paid. Also, WE ARE NOT TRADING SAROS.

another delusional leafs fan. Boone isnt being traded and we have no interest in either player you are sending to us. We have logjams in RD and middle 6 wingers. It doesnt really matter cause even if Boone was available this wouldnt come close to getting him, let alone adding Dumais.

I feel like the Devils could get someone cheaper in UFA like Stenlund that is on par with Kampfe instead of pay a 3rd to help TOR get cap room.

Your entitled to your opinion but I think columbus either needs to rebuild. Let this year play out and come back when Robo scores 30 elsewhere this year. If it were up to me he stays but i know the leafs arent going to resign him.
Columbus prospect pool is super deep. The biggest boom/bust prospect they have is dumais. Kind of like the potential robo had coming in but he proved he can score.

I think your undervaluing Robertson and maybe that is just because I personally am really high on him. Like ive said prior I can see a breakout year from him this year especially with how poorly managed he was in Toronto, he definitely gained loads of confidence this season and will have something to prove. I agree now looking into the trade a bit more that dumais isnt the prospect to trade.

It is a swap at forward of Robertson for Jenner, not Robertson and Sillinger or Texier, which is absolutely a downgrade for Columbus. And as mentioned before Columbus ownership fired their GM for trying to trade Jenner. As for Dumais, he has 3 years of ELC still and is waiver exempt until 27/28. Not to mention he is regarded as a top ~20 prospect right now. Robertson looses exemption this summer and Liljegren lost it 2 years ago.
WDYM Liljegren would have went top 5? Like in the draft? He isn't that good, and trust me I like Liljegren. Both him and Boqvist are very mid defensemen. Both have been given the opportunity and have failed to take the next step on multiple occasions. In reality they probably trade Boqvist this offseason to give Jiricek a spot in the top 4. I am not arguing whether or not Gudbranson is overpaid but the fact remains that he is still a solid PKer and one of the best fighters in the league. You simply will never get that kind of play from someone like Liljegren. They may not even qualify Bean either so that they can promote someone like Svozil, Ceulemans, or Mateychuk.
I call that trade a fleece because Dumais looks could be a Gaudreau level steal from the 2022 draft and Jenner is by far the best player right now in the trade (FYI the last person to put up scoring like that in the Q was like Crosby and Radulov, albeit Crosby did it before he was drafted)


In his draft, the Swedish defenseman was projected to be a top-5 selection, however, he came down with mononucleosis midway through the season. and dropped 10-15 spots. Look at Bob Mckenzies pre-season draft rankings
