Thread: Leafs 2022-2023
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>Jack Campbell isn't signing that.

Arizona passes, takes more than Holl and a 2nd round pick that's still 3 drafts away to unload on Petr Mrazek.

Colorado passes, They can do better than Kerfoot.</div></div>

Campbell has said he wants to remain on the team. 4 mil x 5 seems fair considering his comparables would be what Carolina signed this past offseason with Raanta and Andersen. Those two have more of a proven track record than Campbell and Campbell is getting more term than what both of those goalies were offered.

I figured the Ritchie trade was Ritche and a conditional 2nd round pick so Mrazek and a 2nd round pick with an additional asset in a minute eating defenseman in Holl that can play PK1 minutes would be decent. What would you suggest the Leafs offer instead?

Colorado will be losing Kadri to free agency in the offseason. Kerfoot has developed well where he can play on any line and be a net positive. Kerfoot also had a career year this past season. He could be a decent placeholder while they find a replacement for what Kadri brought to the team. If not Colorado, which team would you suggest would have interest in Kerfoot?

Thread: who is the mystery forward the leafs are interested in
Motte on the Canucks could be a possible target. His impact on the Canucks is similar to Hyman's with the Leafs and is progressing offensively year over year. Would be a good opportunity to pick him up to shore up the top six and add further depth.

I could see a trade between the two teams occurring. Maybe the centre pieces are Motte and Dermott and build around it? Add another minor impact player from both sides to balance out the cap for both teams as they're both near the cap limit and Toronto adds a draft pick (4th or 5th round) to compensate the Canucks for trading away a cost controlled player in Motte for this season and next. Canucks get a boost in defense as Dermott is great at neutral zone denials, plays with sandpaper, can play both defensive positions, can chip in offensively, and remains an RFA after this season's contract is finished.

Thread: You Dubetter
There would be a bidding war on Georgiev so the Leafs would have to pay more than what is offered at the moment. If they do end up securing Georgiev's contract, then his extension would be around 3 million per year cap hit over three years (cap hit percentage less than Murray when he signed his extension but he won cups so he got that bit of a boost).

Same could be said for Parayko. If he were to be available for trade then a lot of teams would zero in on him. May have to give a little more to secure his contract.

Andersen can definitely get more than only a 2nd round pick. A low 1st round pick and maybe either an okay prospect or a cost controlled roster player would be more likely. Depending on when he is traded, the Leafs may be able to acquire more assets (all the goalies in free agency were snatched up and the pending UFAs got re-signed by their respective teams, then there could be a potential bidding war amongst teams that are in need of a starter).

The others I can't comment on as I'm not familiar enough with the assets being traded for to form an opinion.

Thread: Take Two on Solidifying Goaltending Tandem
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Andersen was going into his 3rd season as a starter. Compared to gieorgiev’s short.... average resume.</div></div>

He's been playing a starter's load since the 2014-2015 season. He's been holding onto consistent numbers of around .916 average the entire time which gets teams into playoffs and if a hot hand occurs, could potentially win the cup. He's been posting these numbers while with the Leafs and previously with the Ducks but they're around the same. He's a great goalie but he hasn't stolen a series like other goalies have that have played against him. Maybe his time will come eventually but he is definitely getting you to the playoffs.

Georgiev, is a promising goalie just like Andersen was at the time he was extended by the Leafs. Georgiev has less of a track record but his numbers seem good so far. His saves average on shots between 1-15 ft and 15-30 ft are better so there should be a bit of an overpay to acquire an asset that can produce those numbers regularly. The Leafs are terrible with defense close to the net so he'd be a slight upgrade compared to Andersen though it would not matter too much over an entire season when comparing the two. It would result in a couple extra wins (you'd hope your team would win enough to make it not make a difference).

Thread: Leafs Stabilizing goaltending and short term fixes for defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tomato43</b></div><div>I think you are underestimating how much Demelo will get. He is just about the only UFA i would be interested in signing but his age and the fact that he is right handed will almost guarantee a bigger contract than a 1 year 1.25M dollar deal. He has been making almost no money from NHL standards for a while and should take what ever deal offers him the most money and term.

Tanev will get more term than that and money as well.</div></div>

DeMelo may be interested in taking a one year contract to boost his value in the future. He would have ample opportunity on the Leafs' defense lineup to showcase his abilities (similar to Ennis, who signed with Toronto because of their medical staff/facilities being a benefit to continuing his career and also an opportunity to showcase himself). If DeMelo ends up not signing with the Leafs then they still have Lehtonen to slot into the lineup (fifth highest point producing skater in the KHL and garnered A LOT of offers from many teams. Another gamble similar to Mikheyev).

The market may be wary of Tanev due to him never really having a healthy season until this season. Yes, he is very good defensively but his track record regarding his health lowers his value. GMs may not want to give term to a defensive defenseman whose track record shows he will play a little over half a season.

Thread: Leafs Stabilizing goaltending and short term fixes for defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BSpadaro83</b></div><div>I mean the easy answer is the Rangers instantly accept this deal and then immediately flip Andersen to like Ottawa or something for a decent haul.</div></div>

They definitely can do that if management is comfortable with Lundqvist being a backup for his final year and then have to think about acquiring a backup goalie either through the system, trade, or free agency. Trading Andersen would allow the Rangers to acquire even more assets and have the cap space to re-sign their upcoming expiring contracts.

I was thinking since the league is trending towards equal goaltending tandems (Boston for example) to ensure their designated starter is as fresh as can be for the playoffs, Andersen would provide a better chance for Shesterkin to remain fresh. But they certainly can trade him after acquiring him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheDime99</b></div><div>How would the Rangers even use Andersen, also Georgiev is an RFA so you wouldn't have to work out an extension before a trade. Lastly massive overpay</div></div>

Lundqvist's effectiveness has diminished. The Rangers can keep three goalies up for another year and split the starts between Andersen and Shesterkin. They're in no hurry as they are still a rebuilding team.

The request for permission to negotiate the extension with Georgiev doesn't have to be a hard condition. I was thinking the same thing happened when the Leafs traded for Andersen but I can't remember if he was an RFA at the time of the extension.

Sure, it's an overpay but the Leafs have an abundance of right wingers and you have to give value to get value.
