Thread: Musing

The Leafs don't want Gibson.

You need to take Rodion Amirov out of there right now, and if you don't why you need to google it, because that's not cool.

Thread: tree way

That's a lot to trade for a rental.

I can see the theory behind the Isles/Leafs trade (good young players looking for more opportunity and a fresh start) but I think with the coaching change in New York they probably want to see if things change first. They do have an LHD need though so it's not completely crazy.

I would think so yes. Not really a good trade for them when they are rebuilding.

Thread: Leafs news

I don't think any of those trades work to be honest. The Bobrovsky contract, even with retention, is still a risk I don't think Dubas would want to take (plus he has an NMC and would have to agree).

Thread: Fleury and Matt Murray

I could see that type of trade for the Blackhawks. Might be a third back or something, but seems to make sense. Mrazek is a good gamble for the Hawks. If he's bad, they're bad and they're not mad. If he plays well they can flip him for more draft capital.

Don't think the Leafs are moving Kerfoot to Ottawa, if they move him at all. Not sure they will at all. Maybe Keefe tries the lineup blender again through the middle of the season and they look for an upgrade later in the year. At that point Kerfoot will be so cheap (in regards to salary owed) he'll be simple to move anywhere.

Murray makes sense in this situation

It actually won't be nearly as bad as all the posts on here say. And if it is, they'll execute a buyout. End of story, this move is pure fantasy

Zero chance the Leafs use Sandin to dump a salary like Mrazek.... absolutely ridiculous.

Thread: provo

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blues4Life</b></div><div>"4 players we don't want"?? Loof is a solid LHD prospect, Barbashev is 25 and just put up 60 points, Kostin is mostly a throw-in, Scandella is still a solid bottom pairing guy (slightly overpaid). We can add a second round pick or something but it's not that far off.</div></div>

So which of those guys do you think the Flyers want to acquire? Why would they move Provorov for that when they could clearly get more? A prospect, a throw-in, a winger one year from UFA and a cap dump.... SIGN ME UP!

It's definitely different.

Thread: provo

Send 4 players we don't want for something we do.... makes sense.

Despite the fact the value is off, how many NHL teams want to execute a four for one deal? Do you have need of those three players and one middling prospect? I can't imagine anybody wants a deal like that.

Thread: it will do

I don't know if that would get it done.

Obviously Mrazek can't go on LTIR so you'd need to move him as well.

Not sure where that premise would come from, but he was healthy in the playoffs and was probably their best defenceman, so he's not the cap dump that some people on here think he is. I don't think the Leafs want to move those young players unless it's a massive return.

Thread: Grabbing draft picks and tanking for next years draft

I don't think Muzzin waives to go to the last place team. The Leafs definitely aren't spending a first on Jake Allen and Drouin. While I do think Allen might make sense for the Leafs, that won't be the price.

Thread: No Big Trades

I imagine the Leafs dumping Mrazek probably costs a bit more, but I think Chicago acquiring him makes a ton of sense. If they want to be bad, he might do that. He also might rebound and be pretty solid, in which case you can trade him for assets to somebody else at the deadline or next offseason. Seems to be a win-win for Chicago.

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 23 at 8:22 a.m.

Thread: Buy the game day program

I'm not sure the Leafs would want to do that deal. Muzzin is better than Dillon and Sandin/Robertson is not a package that would land you a guy like Demelo. I get they're trading Mrazek too but I don't think that's really a move Toronto wants to make.

I like Demelo but the Leafs have had opportunities to acquire him before (he seems like a great fit) and they've never jumped on it so maybe they don't see the fit. They might look at him this offseason, but only if they want to move on from Holl and trade a Sandin/Liljegren type for goaltending or forward help. RHD is not a massive need right now.

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 23 at 8:18 a.m.

Thread: Offseason

Not sure Strome is a slam dunk for Toronto, it would depend on what he wants on his next contract. Unless the Leafs really like the fit it's hard to see them giving up Robertson in this deal. Value is probably fine.

Thread: Playoffs

That trade is brutal for the Devils.

I also wonder why Leafs fans are so horny to get Blackwood. He was terrible last year and is a big wildcard. Seems scary to put the stanley cup hopes of the team on that guy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>odyssey</b></div><div>I think the leafs do that</div></div>

I mean, yes they would, but that trade doesn't really make sense for either side. Swapping prospects and RHD to accomplish what exactly?

Thread: Block buster read desc

If Nashville wanted to reset and move Saros, it would signal they were trying to get younger and cheaper. Nylander doesn't accomplish that.

IF, BIG if, Nashville wanted to move him, you're looking at a package of futures and draft picks. Potentially something looking like 22 1st, Sandin, Knies (maybe, prefer somebody else obviously) and maybe another middle draft pick. No sense for Nashville to move on Nylander, and no sense for Toronto to move him if they were going to put all their chips down and look for a top-level goalie.

Thread: Leafs Realistic off-season from a leaf hater

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>beaton8</b></div><div>Is Crouse for one of Sandin/Liljegren fair?</div></div>

I mean, maybe??? He's pretty underwhelming in my view, he's not a great skater and is a bit overrated for being on the world juniors. I don't know he's what the Leafs need, he's a bit more of a Nick Ritchie. Not sure he's a top-6 guy.

giving up a first for Varlamov is a tough look. Hopefully they can do better than that.

Good, because that trade sucks for Toronto.

In fact all of these trades suck for Toronto.

Thread: Auston Matthews Returns

I can't imagine there's enough money you could give him for Matthews to not win games the rest of his career on that roster.

TBH, him taking 12.5 or 13 probably makes him more money in Toronto. He gets tons of endorsements in a city where hockey is massively popular (and he doesn't give any of that up to escrow). He can also continue making that for decades once his playing career is over (Doug Gilmour still does commercials in Toronto). Sure we can talk about tax or whatever, but he's right now earning more than 3 million off the ice. That'll continue (and probably grow) in Toronto, for the rest of his life. I don't think that hits the same level in Arizona.

This is a great example of what they should NOT, under any circumstances, consider doing.
