Thread: dvorak
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drmantalban</b></div><div>He’s very solid. I’ve wanted him on the wild for years now. He’s good on faceoffs, plays with a nasty edge but not cheap, natural goal scorer, good hands. For his contract, he’s incredibly desirable. FWIW, I’ve put proposals that have dumba + 1st for Dvorak, and ppl still say no. So I’m honestly not sure on what his valuation actually is. I think TOR has a very nice piece in Kerfoot, so that might be an edge. I can just see many teams wanting him and the packages would get pretty competitive.</div></div>

Dumba and a 1st feels like good value for Dvo. Some think of Dumba as an actual negative player though so depending on who you ask his value could vary. I do agree we would need to give up more than Kerfoot, probably Liljegren as well or something like that. And realistically if Arizona isnt interested in moving him, he wont move.

Thread: Leafs off season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Liljegren was once a high-end prospect. Haven't followed him enough this year to know full story.
I was thinking prospect further away since Leafs are competitive now...may need Liljegren next year.

Have always liked Mike Koster. And Topi Niemela. Either of them and a lottery protected 2022 1st.

Amirov and later pick? Or is that too much?
I know Devils GM Tom Fitzgerland liked Amirov at draft, because they found Mukhamadullin by watching a lot of Amirov.</div></div>

If we are trading Amirov we are getting a bonafide scoring top 6 Lwer, at this point Wood is more of a grinder than a scorer. Niemela is pretty high end, probably around the same value as Liljegren both of them together would be too much for Wood. But Koster is doable.

Thread: Forward Depth gt Petro
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Give you credit, room for 23 man within the cap. But is Severson really that much of an upgrade to give up two prime pieces? The Leafs might just as good on the ice and certainly in the future if they can sign a UFA, Dman, especially a RHD for under 4m then they keep Lijjegren and the first round
It's a downgrade at centre and goal, to squeeze in this Dman whoever it might be.</div></div>

Well. When it comes to our 3rd line i think they will be much more productive come playoff time than our current 3rd line. Maybe not as much production in the regular season...But none the less they will be good on the cycle and solid defensively all year round.

As for Severson..Yes its a really big upgrade, i dont expect a lot of people to follow his game but hes a very good defensive d man on the level of a Pesce who we have coveted for a long time. Hes a perfect 1st pair PK RHD who fits our age group and is pretty cheap at 4 mil for 3 more seasons. He gets buried night in and night out with extremely tough QoC in New Jersey which has only helped his defensive development but has definitely hurt some of his advanced stat metrics.

As for the goal tending...Georgiev was better than Andersen last year albeit less games and Andersen seems to always choke when it matters most. Regardless its the easiest way for us to save money in a league where goal tending is fickle and unpredictable. Plus Andy isnt going to be re-signed next year so may as well get assets.

Thread: pegTroubaTradeLeafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Yeah doubt Trouba has any interest in Toronto. He wants East Coast US either near his family in Michigan or near his fiancee Kelly Tyson here in Florida. The Rangers are the other team. Panthers, Rangers, Flyers or Red Wings are the ones i see Trouba interested in.</div></div>

Toronto is pretty darn close to Michigan...Not that close to Florida though.

If he does end up in Florida that could still be very interesting for the Leafs. That could very well make Ekblad available and we could try a similar type trade (maybe excluding Zaitsev) to try and get Ekblad. I doubt the Rangers have the pieces to get Trouba as they would have to give up young players most likely...Plus the Rangers already have some good RHD. Detroit is kinda in the same boat without good assets to give and not wanting to give up futures. Flyers could definitely get a deal done if he wants to go there.

Thread: Leafs off season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cmaenza28</b></div><div>Imagine clearing out Zaitsev and Marleau, having 6 guys on ELC or veteran minimum salaries, still needing to fill 3 roster spots, and having NO cap left. There's no way TOR makes it through this offseason without losing somebody that those fans are going to lose their minds over. They won't be in a position to acquire Trouba because they simply can't afford to with the other issues they've got to solve. WPG doesn't exactly have room to be handing out cash or taking on bad contracts, which is why they're in the position to deal Trouba anyways. That trade is a no from them, unless you think they're going to turn around and not sign Laine or Connor to keep Kapanen</div></div>

Maybe you are right about Winnipeg not being able to handle all 3 of those contracts, but i figured they would probably want a top 4 RD back in the Trouba trade.

As for you doubting the Leafs ability to clear out Zaitsev and Marleau...There have been multiple reports stating that they will likely both be moved.

There are lots of different ways we can fit under the cap without losing Nylander or Marner...I just showed you one and signed UFAs and Trouba on top. You dont need to fill out roster spots, teams that are very tight on cap sometimes go with a smaller roster without having scratches take up more cap space.
