Thread: Leafs Rumours
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>The odds of a team trading for a large contract at the draft or prior to most of the large UFAs signing is very slim.

Why? Well as nice as it is to map out all of these extra signings you can do with the cap space, other teams are exploring those options and going hey we can probably address our needs with our cap space instead of having to trade a core piece and future assets to bring a guy in.

I’ll give you that Marner is likely a bit of an exception given the caliber of player he is. But with that, teams likely are wary of what that players production would be A. In a different system and B. Without the caliber of forward talent the player is currently surrounded by.

This doesn’t factor in either that Marner pretty much holds all of the chips in his hand with the NMC, and with it taking him right to UFA, he can pretty much decide where he’d go.

The one benefit for you in this hypothetical is there is a hypothetical where Saros is expendable. I’m not sure if Marner would re-sign in Nashville though with them banking on rookie goaltending with a lesser roster than the team he came from doing the same with a better roster.</div></div>

Fair enough, thanks for your input! I appreciate the feedback and will look at this more

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rajvinder</b></div><div>If you are all looking for a name most fan won't know who is going to impact the Leafs next year the answer is Jacob Quillan. He is higher on the center depth chart than Minten (not as high of potential but closer to reaching his).

I'd be shocked if he didn't get some games in the NHL and wouldn't be surprised if he got a job out of camp or earned a place on the roster during the season.

Out of the names you provided, Webber will be the 7-9th D so likely to get games. Niemla could honestly be traded, he isn't going to be a stud and even if he hit his potential today he's at best a Lili replacement if Lili flops. But he could get games if he's in the organization.</div></div>

I agree on Quillan, I think he could make an impact quicker than a lot of people realize. I just listed those names bc they’re defence and I think that’s more of a weakness than F right now so they have more of a chance for more callups.
