Thread: Listen...i know this won't happen...but..

Technically if this is taking place 3 years from now it is likely that the salary cap has increased $6+ mil. Trading Marleau to a team trying to hit the cap floor would free up more than enough money.

Thread: MacKinnon's value compared to Galchenyuk ?

Rumour was Colorado turned down a 1st and Hamonic for Duchene. Hamonic was traded for a 1st and two 2nds. So basically two 1sts and two 2nds wasn't enough.

I think Landeskog is overrated. Wouldn't give up Dermott for him.

Thread: Leafs Tavares Trade

This trade would make the Leafs weaker. We would lose our shutdown center in Kadri who scored 32 goals and only 5 less points than Tavares. We'd lose an elite winger in Nylander who put up 5 less points than Tavares. Plus Tavares is a free agent after the season, that is a lot to give up for a rental. We could even wait and acquire him for free.

Thread: Reset

Leafs wouldn't make that trade. Sell a top line winger of the future for a 32 year old with an albatross contract?

Thread: Without Thornton Alzner Radulov no trade just UFA signing

At this point Yakupov must be considered a bust. I could see him signing a show me deal, but I'd find it difficult to justify giving him 2nd line ice time with his lack of production.

Thread: getting a face

I don't think any of these trades are realistic.

I don't imagine Fleury would waive to go to Philly. Rumors were that he didn't want to be traded, period. And that was his condition for waiving in the expansion draft. Plus there is a lot of bad blood between Pittsburgh and Philly, so he'd likely veto the trade out of respect.

Martin and Kapanen are both valued members of the Leafs organization. I doubt the Leafs have interest in Emelin, especially at that price.

Toffoli was just signed long term by the Kings. There is about a 0% chance that they deal away their best winger for Methot and Miller. Methot is likely 2-3 years away from retirement, and Miller playing above 6th defenseman is a stretch.

Thread: Use cap space while we have it

I think you're bang on with the trade value in the Anaheim deal, and Manson would be the perfect fit to fill out our top 4. I've been saying for months that the Leafs need an anchor on the blue line to enable our more offensive minded defenders to jump into the play without being burned. Think Methot for Karlsson in Ottawa.

I also like the idea of bringing in Neimi, but unlike a lot of people I actually think Fehr has value to our team. A line of Martin, Boyle, and Fehr has size and enables us to run the cycle, an offensive tool that our other lines lack. So maybe we can work out a deal for Neimi that involves Dallas' 2nd round pick.

As for the free agent signings, if we were to trade for Manson I think we'd be set on our blue line, so no need for Alzner. His numbers have been slipping anyways so he might be someone we pass on regardless.

And pass on Doan. I do agree that if we traded JVR we'd need some short term scoring help, but Doan lacks the mobility to play on the top line. A guy like James Neal or Scott Hartnell would be decent short term stop gaps.

Thread: Leafs land Doughty

It seems like every time this trade pops up it has one side overvaluing their team's player. If this trade were to happen (it won't) it would be a one-for-one trade for Nylander. The long-and-short of it is LAK would get a high scoring winger who would eventually transition and replace Kopitar on the top line. TOR would get a top defender.

Thread: HOW TO WIN CUP TABARNAK!!!!!!!

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

Well he wasn't top 3 on his team so why would he be worth alot? It's not like colombus is stacked. They had really good defence but they have players who can replace him. They probably would do the trade because their weakness is offense. Murray isn't offensive</div></div>but is Gallagher a significant upgrade offensively? He only had 29 points this year, and 40 the year before. Every single forward in Columbus' top 9 finished with more points.

Thread: HOW TO WIN CUP TABARNAK!!!!!!!

Chicago couldn't take on Emelin's contract and Gallagher isn't worth Murray in a straight up deal. Remember that the Devils got Hall for Larsson and they're very similar players.

Thread: Opening Day Roster

Though I don't agree with some of the selections (Grabner over Raanta / Marchessault might be overvalued / Jaskins or Yakupov over Perron), I do think the opening night roster will look something like this. It is impressive that Vegas may ice a somewhat competitive lineup.

Thread: dream team in hollywood

Is this serious? Not a single fair trade. McDavid, Matthews, Nylander, and Eichel are untouchable. Not enough 1sts in the world to land them.

Thread: Stanley Cup Champs 2017-18

This deal doesn't align with anything the Avalanche are trying to do, nor is it close to fair value. Colorado is trying to rebuild. Adding Pacioretty who turns 29 this year is no use to them. Adding Emelin who turned 31 this year is no use to them. Duchene himself could fetch a 1st and 2nd and probably a prospect. Landeskog could probably still fetch a 1st.

And why would the Islanders trade away Tavares? He is their greatest asset. Without him they have nothing down the middle. I think they're happy with Griess / Berube next season.

Thread: Parayko, Patrick and More (Please Comment)

Don't like the deal because without Kadri we don't have a matchup center and suddenly become weak down the middle. Also why trade away such important pieces for Vegas to take Lupul? He has one year left and could be placed on LTIR. Oh and Kris Russel sucks.

Thread: the real roster

Literally zero of these trades are fair value. A declining Seabrook on a awful contract plus a 26th overall pick (basically a 2nd) for a promising core piece for the Leafs? An aging Anisimov to a team trying to rebuild for two top defenders? And best of all dumping off Hossa for the 2nd overall pick.

Thread: LOOK AT ALL THIS CAP SPACE

Would never happen. Rantanen is worth at least a 1st, likely more as you're trying to take a core piece from Colorado. And signing players to trade for picks is something you'd only see in a video game. Lovejoy isn't worth a pick and I doubt the Pens could take on his salary anyways. Lightning couldn't afford to re-sign Kovalchuk. And why would Vegas take Cammalleri?

Thread: with Drouin and Galchenyuk!!

Pretty far off value for Duchene. Plekanic has negative value for a team like Colorado. You would have to pay for them to take him on. I think the minimum Colorado wants for Duchene is a 1st and an A level prospect. Probably more from Montreal since that 1st round pick holds little value at 25th overall.

I'm pretty sure you can only retain salary on 2 - 3 players at any one time.

Thread: Expansion targets

What the actually ****? Are you a Sabres fan? This would set our blueline back another 5 years. Rielly is our best defender by far and nothing in this deal replaces him. Toronto cannot afford to lose a defender. End of story.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aus3kun</b></div><div>1. Sign Girardi to a 1 year deal
2. Why would Florida swap Pysyk for Carick? (They both have to be protected in expansion draft)

1. I don't think the Leafs should even consider him as an option. Advanced stats place him as one of the worst defenders in the league. We have better players in house.
2. I assume this scenario plays out after the expansion draft. Trade would give the Leafs a decent 2nd pair option, Panthers get a potential 2nd pair option with more offensive upside and a potential top 9 power forward. I think that is close to value.
3. Rumor has it that the plan this entire time has been to trade Fehr and the 4th we acquired in that deal to Vegas.

Thread: Strike 2

Vancouver is looking for a king's ransom for Tanev, not sure if that is enough to get a deal done.

That said, I am interested in how you setup your roster. This is something close to what I expect the Leafs will go with in the next 2 years or so, but with Marner and Brown switching places. A Hyman - Nylander - Marner line would have the same dynamic as the Hyman - Matthews - Nylander line with Hyman playing the role of puck retriever to dish out to more skill forwards. Brown makes sense with Kadri because Brown possesses a more relentless work ethic that would lend itself well to a shutdown role. Plus he is a goal scorer which would work well with Kadri's playmaking ability.

Thread: Kane part2

would never happen, though Kruger has a bad contract it does not diminish Kane's value to a point where he'd be traded for a couple of B - level prospects, a mid round 1st, and a has-been in Ennis.

maybe add Kruger to that deal to give the Hawks more cap relief, then the Leafs wouldn't need to acquire Moore.

Thread: Leafs flat cap

a trade like this is pretty much a lateral move or slight upgrade for the Leafs. Leafs would likely look to move some of their wingers before defense or draft picks (which I don't think the Jets are interested in).
