Thread: Tavares went to SJS

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>I'm impressed with what Ray has done this season but I'm also aware of what will term mean to a club trying to contend. Ryu is the example of why giving term to pitchers post 30 years old is not a good idea.</div></div>

Very true. Also, Ryu was more consistent throughout his career prior to signing. I like Ray but I think most blue jays fans aren't thinking about the future and what his next contract will do to our chances of competing if he struggles at any point.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LGuy54</b></div><div>??</div></div>

I like the concept, I just don't see this interesting tampa enough to make the trade. IMO, the 2nd would have to be swapped out for a prospect but even then I don't see TBL being interested. There trying to 3peat

Thread: Tavares went to SJS

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>Tough question.
Ray is 30 or turning 30 and we know how pitchers generally regress quite a bit after 30 while position players can regress more gracefully.

I might be leaning towards signing Semien and signing a younger pitcher than Ray but all that is easier said than done.</div></div>

I'd sign both if possible but if I had to pick one it would be semien. Ray has had an up and down carrer to this point and I'd be worried about giving him term. IMO, semien has had a bigger impact on the team in terms of leadership and he's produced. He wants to play short stop so I'd put him there and slide bo to 2nd where his defence will play better.

I'm suprised by your pick as most would rather have Ray... I guess great minds think alike!😉😎

I couldn't agree more. I remember talk at the time was we could get a late 1st for Komorov and a late 1st and a decent prospect, or a 2nd and good prospect for Bozak. Also, JVR could net us a 1st and top prospect had we have traded them at the deadline. The next year they (TSN & Sportsnet) where saying we could get a 1st for Gardiner. Instead we traded a 2nd for Boyle and then proceed to trade another 2nd for Pleckanek the next year. I would have been a seller on those deadlines.

I am too. I'm not trying to bash JT just thinking about the ripple effect his signing has had on our team. I never do this woulda, shoulda, coulda and there's no guarantee AM & MM would have signed for less, just thinking of how our team would or could look rn if we didn't sign him.

Ps I still think we made the right decision.

Thread: Tavares went to SJS

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>If Tavares had gone to San Jose, the Leafs would spend that elsewhere. I imagine Holl would be on the team, maybe Zaitsev, and there would have been cap for Connor Brown too.
Somehow the Leafs would had to fill that 2C position before Hertl was available.
The worse scenario would have been the Leafs spend that Tavares cap on a UFA...like Erik Karlsson.</div></div>

If Tavares went to San Jose we likley wouldn't have made the Colorado deal so Kadri either would have been traded elsewhere or most likley kept and Kerfoot wouldn't be a leaf as well. Also, Matthew's and Marners contracts likley wouldn't have cost us as much. Crazy to think of the ripple affect 1 move can have.

He's a hell of a defenceman but I don't see anyway Tampa would trade him unless they absolutely have to and it wouldn't be in division IMO. That being said he'd be a huge add if Dubas could manage to pull it off.

Who else do you think would ve a good fit besides Dunn, Lindholm, Ekholm and Sergachev? I haven't looked in to it enough and you're our out of the box thinker.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>Under 6 million is a pipe dream. I think OldNYIfan has it right in that the number Lindholm may get from a team like the Leafs.

Also, don't get me wrong, I wanted to have Rielly traded too but at this point when the Leafs desperately need playoff success I don't see how you trade Rielly and find someone who is at least as good as he is.

That's not very realistic.</div></div>

Let us dream good sir lol.

Good point on trading Rielly. It's past the point we could trade him anyways, but it would also depend on what the return is or would have been. At this point if we don't make it out of the first round he won't be the only one leaving after this season.

I like Lindholm. Depending on how bad the Ducks are, $5-6 million over 6 is a place I go. But adding him or Ekholm on a shorter term) means Sandin need to look like a PP QB. Not sure that is gonna happen..... and rather not use Muzzin in that role (need him for bigger things).</div></div>

You're right, my bad. I like ekholm too but I think he's going to look to cash in because his current contract has been a steal even with the tax situation in Nashville.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>Sandin I see as a linch pin in the direction. If he develops as I think he may, Leafs let Reilly walk and they sign a Muzzin-esque type defender, which fall in around $4-5 million, depending on quality.

The other option is signing a more offensive D on the right side and playing Brodie on his offside (which he has done, but not nearly as well)</div></div>

What do you think of Lindholm? And what do you think it would take to get him in a leafs jersey next year?

I'd sign him for that. I think he would be a bettet fit than Rielly because he's a more complete player and doesn't rely on his skating like Morgan does.

Same here but at the same time if we can't get past the first round changes need to be made (IMO we're over due for change). I like dubas' approch these last two off-seasons but we need more from our high paid players. I like how Matthews became more of a complete player last year but we need more from everyone or change needs too happen.
