Treliving Trades Nylander To Ottawa
P-L-E-A-S-E! Beyond the fact that this deal would never get made within-the-division, in a crazy hypothetical world, it would take Sanderson + Batherson. Leafs don't need picks, they need big D and replace Nylander in the top-6. Is there a deal to be had there? I don't think Ottawa would want to let go of Sanderson EVEN if that deal was fair.

change
For the record, I don't think the Leafs would need to sweeten the pot to rid themselves of Murray's deal. At worst, he's a quality backup goaltender. The Leafs could simply buy him out and face that cap hit over the next few seasons, but I think if they decided to move on from him, without even retaining any money, they could get themselves a mid-range draft pick.

Be grateful that they finally won a playoff round for the first time in 19 years
If you cannot fathom why so many Leaf fans are upset, then you shouldn't be commenting on how this fan base ought to be "grateful" for anything. When management runs this core back time and time again, you expect concrete steps and solid results. The truth is this group ultimately have not delivered and now over the next 2 years, they will all be needing major extensions. It's simply time for a change.

The truth is is that if it was 2 for 2, Matthews/Marner for MacKinnon/Rantanen and all players had similar term left on deals, it wouldn't be such a far-fetched idea. The inclusion of Makar definitely makes this especially silly though :D

Hahahahahahahaha
This is NOT a team set for a rebuild and JT clearly isn't the long-term answer as a #1. So, the only way Matthews moves is if the Leafs can' extend him, but I have a feeling he wouldn't turn down $14 million over 8 years to remain here. If the Leafs are going to retool, they'd be smarter dealing Nylander (who a team could resign as part of the deal) or even Marner, who has 2 years left on his large deal. In my opinion Nylander gets you the best return, theoretically, of pieces the Leafs could "afford" to give up. However, if Kyle Dubas remains our GM, I don't see any sort of major changes happening with roster turnover - he is simply too loyal and also too stubborn to do so.

how much
I think it would take significantly more than that to acquire Husso and Ken Holland has said he doesn't want to part with top draft picks. If the Oilers were to take a legit swing at a goalie, I wonder if Seattle's Chris Dreigder would be considered an option. Seattle would have to be willing to sell on him, but he is signed to a reasonable deal and he did have a great year last year in a tandem role.

TDL -Giroux
You know the Flyers will be asking for Ryan Suzuki, right? I don't mind the deal, but if I am the Flyers, I think you could find a better prospect dealing with the Avs or the Wild or even the Ducks if they were content on making a big run. To me, I think the Canes would have more interest swinging real hard for Thomas Hertl, or working on their top-9 with someone like Lawson Crouse. I'd also be curious to see what a deal for Connor Garland would look like and think he'd be the kind of player that'd fit in with the Canes quite well, both this season and beyond. Obviously, trading Ryan Suzuki at all is a non-starter to me.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>Vegas kind of did this to themselves, they certainly have a lot of cap to move out to fit Eichel, and it's about time Vegas gets the raw end of a deal.</div></div>
When you consider that any deal made mid-season with 2 teams that are cap-strapped, concessions of some kind will need to be made, even when including a third team. Also, I am getting the sense that Jared McCann is being overlooked here by a lot of Vegas fans. RFA at season's end and has already hit the 20 goal mark for the season. Can play in all situations, can play center or the wing, not afraid to get dirty and has great hockey IQ.
I am also curious, if I had included Nick Robertson in this trade going to Vegas, would that make the deal even? Not that Toronto would ever consider trading both Robertson and Amirov.
Thank you for all posting your thoughts and feedback. It's always appreciated, even if I don't agree with some of you.

Giroux to Avalanche
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dmh1055</b></div><div>Jost and a Mid-Level Prospect. Okay. Name said Mid-Level Prospect. I seem be getting stuck on Untouchable Prospects and A Level Prospects that are also untouchable.
Also, Giroux would probably be more likely to re-sign in Colorado reasonably if the prospects of winning remain high. This might be far more appealing to trade a 1st round pick for since Colorado could control the term more on Giroux than the other players you named that don't move the needle as much. Garland and JT Miller are nice players but they pretty much score what they produce. Giroux playing 2nd line level players and not targeted as the primary player to shutdown by opponents will score significantly more.</div></div>
Not sure Colorado can afford to extension Giroux though. A player with term and reasonable AAV just seems like something the Avs would prefer based on their cap situation, both current and future. When I say mid-level prospects, I am talking about someone like Shane Bowers, or perhaps the rights to Tyler Weiss. Also, I would consider that Giroux doesn't do anything exceptionally well except perhaps lead, and the Avs are deep with that.

Deep Run
The sort of moves that hammer the nail into the coffin of a GM who's seat is incredibly hot as it is. There is no way, in my opinion, that either, or even both of these deals, tip the scale when it comes to the Leafs matching up with any of Florida, Tampa or Boston. If they are going to get past the first round, they need a bigger swing, and they know it, so trading off primary assets to acquire said big-swing seems like a huge waste and a huge risk.

I can't see the Flyers getting a 1st and a 2nd for Giroux as part of a package on a rental. Jost for sure, and a mid-level prospect might work though. Honestly, with Kadri likely out the door this offseason, I wouldn't surprise me to see the Avs push their assets into something back with term (ie JT Miller, Conor Garland, etc.)

Have you checked in with the Avs prospects recently? It's ridiculous. Keep in mind that the Canucks have indicated they would prefer this retool/rebuild to be quick. I think if the Rangers are going to make this deal, they may need to throw in K'Andre Miller as the headline of their package, something I wouldn't personally be willing to do if I was the Rangers.

I think JT Miller is going to end up in Colorado. The Avs love Giroux, I get it, but in JT, they are getting a bit of term for trading off some asset capital they would have to give up anyway for a rental that is arguably less talented than JT Miller. Also consider that the Avs are likely losing Kadri at the season's end and JT does play some center.

Harder to play against
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Even if you added a 1st you aren’t getting Zub. He’s too good to be traded</div></div>
Like I said, I have no issue with Zub, but to me, he's playing way above his pay grade in Ottawa. Meaning, on a good team, he'd be playing less minutes and given far less responsibility. The caveat here is the "good team" I am referring to also has a good defensive group, which suddenly puts the Leafs in a weird middle category. I just don't see the Leafs willing to part with a top 2022 draft pick to acquire what they need in this draft. They should have enough prospect capital, plus NHL-quality talent, which they'd like have to flip anyway for cap reasons, to make something happen this trade deadline.

I appreciate the feedback and i just enjoy making hypothetical moves even if im not good at it. I was a struggle to watch the Leafs get beat up by Calgary the other day and although Simmons was out of the lineup I think the Leafs have relied too heavy on small skill players and could use a bit more Umph throughout the lineup. Chara would only play if we're getting beat up come playoffs and have a d or two injured</div></div>
Yeah no worries. As you probably have noticed then by watching them a lot, the Leafs don't play a pinned down rough game. Like it's systematically against what this group was built for. That is why I think the Leafs target defenders like Brodie, a guy that is willing to block shots, not overly physical, but plays a safe game defensively. A lot of Leafs fans are clammering at Chycrun, but I am not sure he's proven to be so defensively reliable yet in his young career, even though he's a quick skater, can play physical and has one hell of a point shot. If you ask me, the ideal target is Golden Knights Zach Whitecloud. He was just extended long term for a very reasonable $2.75 million AAV, he's big, right handed, can skate as well. Only significant issue is that like Toronto, Vegas is quite cap-strapped so being creative on such a deal would be essential.

I would never bet against the house (haha), or in this case, against 2 teams that handle their cap management considerably well in that they seem to always be up against it. At this point, it sounds like Stone is out long term (at least until the playoffs), so they Vegas has some wiggle room until Martinez gets back. I think in Holl and Kerfoot, an appeal is that they both offer reasonable affordably on term beyond this year, something that Vegas also seems to like. This might require a third team to pull off and it sounds to me like Arizona, Chicago and Seattle are all willing to take on money for a sweetener. I could see a 3-way deal between Vegas-Seattle-Toronto lining up quite nicely. I could see a situation with Vegas finds some crazy way to acquire Jared McCann, even without this crazy 3-way deal happening.

I hate to burst your bubble, but there is no way the Flyers are getting that for Ristolainen and, at least in my opinion, he does not provide the Leafs with an upgrade at all. That goes 10 fold for Chara, who although has his shining attributes is way too slow to keep up with this group. He's very much in the same boat as Luke Schenn in that these are defenders that play a very slow, hold you up game, something the Leafs just don't do. I have less of an issue with the Zub deal although I don't think he's worth the 2nd on top of Dermott.

I like Reilly Smith a lot, but that's the type of move where Kerfoot would have been moved but in terms of money and where he plays in the top-6, since Smith would be ideally be taking that spot. Also, I imagine that move would have to come with an extension in place. The one Dubas has going for him in his attempt to keep his job is that he doesn't love the rental deals. I also imagine if there was a deal to be had with Vegas, the Leafs would find a way to acquire Zach Whitecloud as part of any said deal. He's a young defender with term. Now that Vegas has locked up McNabb to that extension, along with Pietroangelo, Theodore and Martinez, along with all that big money spent on their forwards, Whitecloud seems like the type of defender that can be had, for a fair price...of course. Smith (plus a reasonable AAV extension) and Whitecloud to Toronto for a package that included Kerfoot, Holl, prospects and picks sounds like a good move to me.

I could see a world where he plays in place of Travis Dermott as a 5-6 situation, where Holl has been traded and Liljegren has taken over that spot beside Muzzin, but Luke Scheen is far too slow to keep up with the systems this Leafs team has in place. You can see these same systems hurt the way Muzzin and Holl play because they just cannot get back half the time to defend a counter-attack when the puck is turned over quickly.

Thread:
can they afford to resign kadri
If I am the Avalanche, and they are a team I love, right behind the Leafs, I would consider Justin Barron untouchable, even perhaps more so than Bowen Byram. With money being spent left, right and center to lock up players over the next couple seasons, including that really great dude the Avs got, you need a solid piece on your back end still on an ELC deal over that time frame. Provided the Avs can make upgrades without parting with either Byram or Barron (or Helleckson, who I like as well), that's a pretty nice looking young D corp their for the Avs to go along with Makar, Toews and Girard.
With respect to Kadri, his change in agent tells me he will absolutely be testing the UFA market. I imagine his AAV number to get him signed will start with an 8, and likely be at least, if not more than $8.5 million over at least a 6 year term. It also wouldn't surprise me in the least to see him either end of in Seattle, who have considerable cap space to burn and coming off an expansion draft that was heavily criticized OR one of the California teams.
