MIN FLA Trade

Created by: PakNation7
Team: 2020-21 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: May 3, 2020
Published: May 3, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Donato had 16 points in 22 games after being traded to Minnesota from Boston in 2018-19. That's roughly a 60 point pace. This season, however, Donato seen his ice time cut by 5 minutes a game from 15:33 when he first arrived in Minnesota to 10:38 this season. Therefore, he only produced at a 30 point pace. This is a player I think could benefit from an expanded role on a more offensively inclined Leafs roster. Not to mention Minnesota could use some center depth with the likely retirement of Koivu (Staal, ErikssonEk, Kerfoot down the middle)

Johnsson can act as a replacement for the likely departures of Hoffman and Dadonov from Florida.

Dermott takes his qualifying offer hoping for a bigger pay day on the other end similar to what Andreas Johnsson did a year ago.

Larsson is a defensive third like center (similar to Marcus Kruger or Nick Bonino, albeit less offensive than the latter) that should help anchor the PK and be a nice compliment to Kapanen and Donato.

I think signing DeMelo solves a lot on that right side.

For real. I think DeMelo is just what Toronto needs. A shutdown guy who can play big minutes.

I think he's overrated. He's good but he's like a slightly better version of Holl. Solid second pairing D man but not a legit #1 RHD.

If the leafs want a 1RHD they are going to have to move one of there "Big 4" which idt they want to do. When you think about it how many teams in the NHL have 2 legit #1 defencemen? Maybe 6 (Boston, Carolina, Columbus, Nashville, San Jose and St. Louis) the rest of the good teams have just the one top defencemen with a solid top 4 (Think Colorado, Dallas, Islanders, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington). For the Leafs having a solid second pairing defensemen with Rielly who the Leafs consider their #1 defensemen is exactly what Dubas and company should be aiming to accomplish this offseason. That in tandem with the overall solid pairing of Muzzin-Holl and hopeful further development of Dermott-Sandin should be an above serviceable defense corps to compliment the Leafs forward core.

He was playing with Borowiecki who was having a very good year as well though. Also players typically play better in their contract years.

He is good. He's just not as good as most people think he is on this site at least from watching him on the Sens for ~30 games this season.

I could see him being a second pairing D man on a contender but that's pretty much his ceiling.

DeMelo would be a nice piece for Toronto but our defense would still be significantly below average for a playoff team, especially on the right side. It could work if Sandin or Dermott take a big step this season though.

Do you think Borowiecki's stong season could have anything to do with playing with the DeMelo because the only thing Borowiecki is good at is hitting people?

Plus, you just said what I said, Idt DeMelo is a top paring defensemen either but the combination of DeMelo with Rielly who the Leafs see as their top defensemen should make for a solid top pairing. Think similar to Dumoulin-Letang.

I mean it's passable but I wouldn't call it a solid top pairing.

I think if Dubas wanted DeMelo he should have made a trade for him at the trade deadline (only cost a mid 3rd) and shipped out Barrie.

Meh, the stats say that Borowiecki isn't really that good & that DeMelo helps him a lot.

It was reported that the Leafs wanted to move Marner at the deadline but no one wanted him, so it's not a possibility to trade him. Maybe they could send Nylander for Ellis or Fox. Someone has been frequently offersheeting Cernak who is a top 4 guy but they will need to move a big guy out for that too. Honestly the stats say Holl is really good defensively & he's playing like a number 1 defenseman, he was getting a bit overwhelmed during the last few weeks but if he keeps playing like this, just picking up DeMelo would be fine.

You know the GM messed up when a guy goes from being worth 4 1st round picks to nobody wanting him...

It was reported that Marner’s antics disgusted the GMs around the league so they no longer want him.
