Thread: Leafs get Parayko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Nah, dude. The Blues won't want a deluge of picks eating up the value. They would want nothing to do with Bertuzzi. And you're really selling those values on the other two. This would not get anyone Parayko, let alone two more players. Other than the 24 1st, which can be used to trade up, nothing is of very much interest. And trading Parayko would demolish the defense. To rubble. With no replacement in sight. That package might seem like a haul for you, the Blues would turn their nose up at it because its nothing they actually need + now they also have one of the hardest holes to adequately fill in the league, 1RD.

Real talk: the Leafs do not have the trade assets to get Parayko. Not even close. There's no great coveted prospects that fit needs, no young NHL replacement type, no cap space to eat, no super high draft pick, the guys we'd love to dump won't waive for Toronto... it's all a rich tapestry. The Oilers, for instance, are better equipped by a considerable margin. And Colt might actually waive to play there, hypothetically.

But yes, the Blues have no reason to trade Parayko. We agree there, and I cannot help but appreciate when someone understands that.</div></div>

Do the Oilers have the pieces to get Parayko? I guess its Broberg really. None of the Oilers top prospects are as good as Minten or Cowan.

Where I will somewhat disagree with you is the idea of trading one of the guys. I don't think the Blues are going anywhere with a top 4 of Parayko, Krug, Faulk, and Leddy, they're locked into those 4 guys, and I don't know that any of Tucker, Kessel, Perunovich or any of their prospects are coming to steal those jobs anytime soon. All 4 of those guys have no-trades, Faulk and Parayko both wear letters and Krug already exercised his no-trade. Trading one of them would be smart. But trading them for a collection of stuff you could flip later probably isn't the right plan either.

There are a lot of IFs in my trade offer and maybe its close to correct value, but it doesn't really make sense for the Blues.

Thread: Leafs Build for the Future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>svfsdv</b></div><div>Just say you dont know who any of these guys are and leave it at that. You look more reasonable telling the truth lol Niemela is probably the 4th, maybe 5th most valuable piece here. But he was the one you focused on? lol</div></div>

He's easily the best asset you gave the Blues for their young winger. I do know all of those players. Nobody wants Timmins. We don't even use Timmins. Steeves and Abbruzese are throw ins. Neither guy makes the Blues roster right now anyway, again, they aren't on our roster. Niemela I love. He's a right shot, he's smart, he's a good skater, he's undersized but I think he has a real chance to be a really good 2nd pair dman who can help on the PP and second half of your PK. He's not worth Jake Neighbours who has 19 goals as a 21 year old. This trade is enough if Neighbours demanded to be traded right now and would only accept a trade to the Leafs or he would release scandalous photos of the Blues team president, otherwise, its not close.

Thread: Leafs reshuffle Canes reset
This is a bit of an unconventional trade. The motivation for the Canes is they clear the rest of Kotkaniemi's deal, which allows them to re-sign Jarvis, Teravainen, Necas, Drury, and Skjei who are all expiring. They don't lose much the rest of the season because Liljegren can slide right in with Skjei, or drop down and Orlov can move over to the right side. Plus they swap out Kotkaniemi, who is currently listed as their 4C, for 2 guys who can move around in their top 9. For the Leafs, Kotkaniemi with a change of scenery and with his skill set, is likely a big upgrade as the Leafs 3C, or he can take on the center role on the Tavares line and allow the Leafs to move Tavares to the wing. Pesce is an obvious fit with Rielly on the Leafs top pair.

The Canes probably wouldn't go for it, but if they are going to pick one of Pesce or Skjei on D, getting rid of Kotkaniemi's cap hit in the process would be a coup.

Thread: Leafs and Isles Shake Up
Going to be honest, I don't know how the Isles value Romanov and I don't know how willing they are to move him. The Isles are super locked up long term to a bunch of players and getting a chance to try out an expiring Bertuzzi and a different type of dman like McCabe while also getting out of the other 2 years on Pageau's deal and giving themselves some flexibility. The Isles have something like 79 million locked up in 2 goalies, 5 D, and 8 forwards or something like that. They have no wiggle room to change up what is currently a non-playoff team. Bertuzzi I think would be a good fit and maybe Roy can bring out the better parts of him.

The Leafs on the other hand need a 3C pretty desperately and Pageau gives them a solution for now and the next couple years. Stylistically, he even fits as the center for the Tavares line if that becomes the 3rd line next season.

Thread: the leafs win there first cup since 1967
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jr400</b></div><div>Given than Tanev is worth a late 1st as a rental, and Samsonov has negative value (though not a lot for Calgary because they’d just waive him and go with Wolf and Vladar), this doesn’t look like much value for Markstrom. Does Calgary see his contract as a liability?</div></div>

I have a feeling a trade like this one has a chance. Calgary has Wolf ready and they need to get him in there, if they aren't getting anything for Vladar, it might make sense to explore a Markstrom trade, which is something that's in the news. Goalies tend to not get traded for as much anyway. Samsonov is only in there to match the cap. He's expiring, he isnt a negative asset for Calgary, they can flip him elsewhere or send him to the minors or just send him home for the rest of the year, it doesn't really effect them.

I have been thinking about posting a similar trade idea, but consider this one Minten, a 1st, and a 3rd for Markstrom and Tanev which is probably a little light but I think its close. Tanev is going to get traded for a 2nd I think, maybe 2 3rds if the offers don't get high enough. Minten, Abruzzese, a 1st, and 2 3rds is probably hitting the sweet spot. Abruzzese is a meh prospect, but he has built in chemistry with Coronato so I've heard the Flames are interested.
