Thread: Shoot for the stars
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Neither Woll or Robertson should be in a trade for Korpisalo. The Leafs might need a 3rd string guy just in case but they should be going for someone that costs like a 4th to get. Korpisalo probably gets like a 3rd so he'll be out of range probably. Maybe they do trade Kallgren + a pick for Korpisalo but doubt it. Definitely won't be Robertson as a sweetener and if it's Woll it would be in a larger trade perhaps.

Leafs will need Robertson's ELC along with Knies' next year. Perhaps Robertson gets dealt next year for something if he doesn't become a permanent fixture.

Maybe if the Leafs wants both Gavrikov+Korpisalo they pay a 2024 1st + Robertson + Woll</div></div>

Not 100% against this but would be nice to preserve the 1st if at all possible and if the above trade suggestion of Jensen for Sandin straight up happened then Gavrikov wouldnt be necessary.

Anyway, think we can all agree a nice top4 D, a back-up goalie and potentially another gritty forward would be ideal for the leafs before the trade deadline.

Thread: Cannon fodder
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joronto</b></div><div>I like Gavrikov - but not at 6M for this future team. Dubas has to find a cheaper Muzzin substitute. And please not Myers at 50% retention. 😱
Signing Timmins was a W at 1.1M AAV, no risk.
I miss Bogosian. Even Lyubushkin. That type of a low cost bottom pair D men plus a gamechanging D for the 1st D-pair and as PP QB. Hard to get. Hard to fit in. But Rielly is far away from an Atlantic Division rival Hedman, Lindholm caliber.

Will Muzzin retire in your proposal?</div></div>

Yeah muzzin to retire was the thinking and agree with all, unfortunately I think it'll be hard to sign a top 4 dman under 5mil unless we just stick with a young gun in Sandin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>This guy is just a troll that loves piling on the Leafs; often from left field so he must monitor every Leaf post waiting to drop his ‘how to win’ wisdom - really weird. Every GM, coach, player in the league would love to have game breaker like Willy on their team.
Having just watched 2 back to back games, Gavrikov is over rated - definitely not worth a 1st + imo.</div></div>

Agree i wouldnt want to give up the first but think a 2nd + Sandin coming in with a reasonable extension could be worth it.

Thread: one trade TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>So 4 players that PHI doesn;t want/need/have collective negative value?

Why are they even in that deal? Its ridiculous. SDA/Simmonds/Engvall have ZERO value to Philly. Robertson;s value is at an all time low. Take out the ridiculous stuff and Hirvonen, a 1st, 2 3rds and a 4th isn;t a bad offer for Koneckny, but why would they throw in the other pieces or want the toronto junk

You posted a team yesterday with an equally ridiculous Koneckny offer that I dismantled, this deal is even worse.

Your leaf crap is still crap</div></div>

Thinking was:
1st, 3rd, Hirvonen &gt; Konecky
SDA, Robertson, 3rd &gt; Frost
4th, Simmonds (as a stop gap) &gt; MacEwen
Engvall &gt; cap room/can fill Frost's slot for Philly until year end.

Thread: Final flutter
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>I think Vegas declines this, the cap just doesn't work on their end.

Kerfoot = $3.5M
Carrier = $1.4M

Vegas is $10.2M over the cap right now; this deal would put them $12.3M over.

They've got Shea Weber ($7.857M) and Robin Lehner ($5M) as LTIR contracts for this year, so that gives them $12.857M in cap relief. Meaning they have about $557K in cap space, and they haven't signed the RFA they got in this trade. It just changes the name of their headache from Nic Hague to Rasmus Sandin.</div></div>


Could perhaps retain $400-500k on Kerfoot giving them ~1m cap space to sign Sandin to a 1x1.

Then leafs could give Hague the same 1x1 and sign ZAR for 800-850 to meet the cap. Next year the situation would get resolved by using the Holl money to sign Hague to a proper bridge.
