Thread: WASH SWAP

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>You forgot multiple picks/prospects on TOR's side. I don't think Marner sucks or anything, but Carlson >>> Liligren, and Wilson is a unicorn player that is hard to quantify (saying as a NYR fan that "hates" him). I don't think Marner closes the gap that much, especially considering contract, where they won't have to add on top of this.</div></div>

Does Washington get that kind of return? I like both of those players on the cap's side as well, but Carlson's 34 and Wilson's 30. Marner's got more playoff points than Wilson in 30 fewer games, is 27, and comes in under a million real dollars. If anything, the caps side is short.

Thread: if the bruins miss out on Lindholm

Lmao why are the Leafs <em>adding?</em>

Tavares is not a negative asset and you wouldn’t like him at center anyways - he should be moving to the wing at this point in his career.

I don’t think Ullmark is getting anything more than a good pick and a prospect (from a different team). That’s not a knock on him, I’ve just never seen a goalie fetch more.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>Marner probably would not fit in Rod's system and Carolina ownership apparently doesn't like to spend big bucks like that on players</div></div>

Funny you mention that, Marner's super cheap next year. He's going to cost 775,000 after his July 1 signing bonus. Even if they only keep him to make a run next year, that's probably the best value contract in the league.

Thread: The Entertainers

Marner has over 600 points and was a top 5 draft pick, I don't think the Leafs can sell him for picks and projects when they're contending. I'm sure the Leafs would be interested in Vanacek, but just for picks and with retention.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 10 at 10:44 a.m.

Thread: What Dubas will do

Leafs have no need for picks and no desire to trade McCabe. I don't think there's a good fit between the two teams for a trade, unless it's Bunting for a pick.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 8 at 5:45 p.m.

Thread: Mitchaplooza

Would the Blackhawks be interested in Tavares? Not trying to stir up trouble, just thinking an older center/occasional winger might be good to have with Bedard, similar to Foligno.

I don't watch a ton of Blackhawks games but it seems like Bedard doesn't need a playmaking winger when he's so creative himself.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 8 at 5:33 p.m.

Thread: Marner

As a Leafs fan I'm interested in Bunting, but not for Marner. I don't think Pittsburgh has the pieces, or is unwilling to move parts of its core that would be attractive.

Forum: Fauteuil - DGApr. 23 at 11:43 a.m.

Thread: trade

Leafs have no need for picks, and Knies is growing nicely. The Leafs' left side is also pretty decent, they would want someone on the right.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 23 at 11:41 a.m.

Thread: splash movement to generate attention

I wouldn't mind Vejmelka on the Leafs - though perhaps there's a better trade with the Leafs' 1st than a goalie. There's quite a few prospects looking pretty good that the Leafs will not be able to fit on the roster the way they're currently constructed, perhaps one or two of those would be a better match than the pick swap?

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 28 at 12:58 p.m.

Thread: Young players I can see CAR targeting

Unless there's a major shakeup in D in Toronto, you gotta think Liljegren is kept if only for the handedness. He's also averaging 22 mins a night, I don't think they move him for picks. If he's moved, it'll probably be to land a better RD.

Robertson also has more goals in 27 fewer games than Drury - I think they'd prefer to keep Robertson as a one-dimensional scoring threat on a third line while he's an RFA.

Thread: Plz kent the Tank

The "de" in your description made me read the rest of it with a very thick Quebec accent.

What do you think the ask would be for a Jake Evans or 50% Dvorak?

Thread: Marner

I think it'd probably be more even with Adam Fox going the other way. Quality over quantity.

30-40 goals, 60-70 assists, 100-110 point guys are few and far between and it'd be a cornerstone player going the Leaf's way. Any team would be interested in RD, but I don't think a forwards swap would be very interesting for the Leafs because your big C and LW players are both 30+ and would significantly shorten our timeline of competitiveness with Marner being 26.

It's all a moot point with Marner's NMC, though.

Thread: One step back for two steps forward

I think I would prefer Brodie over Benoit and Giordano on the left, and over McCabe on the right.

Thread: Re-Tool on the fly

I think the Leafs lost their opportunity to re-tool when they decided to not trade Marner in the summer. A major re-tool would require one of Marner, Matthews, Tavares, Nylander, or Rielly gets moved, somehow, somewhere.

I don't know which one would be the right one to move but it's the same team with the periphery players expected to make up the difference at bargain bin prices.

Thread: Jeannot like trade

Would love Ferraro but not sure how available he is given his age, he'd be in his prime at the end of his current contract and the Sharks probably won't suck then.

I feel like there isn't really a fit for both teams here (even ignoring the NMC's)

You gotta think Draisaitl starts with Mo Seider - you don't trade a franchise player for only depth

Thread: Who is a really good defensive RW thats cheap

Need bigger changes - being so close to the cap hurts when there's guys like Holmberg, Abruzzese, Steeves, Gambrell, and McMann in the minors because there's no space.

Thread: Weaponizing Cap Space

It cost a bit less than this for the leafs to move a multi-year Petr Mrazek. I think a closer value would be just a 2nd rounder for one year of Klingberg (if the Leafs decide to move him).

Thread: If Flyers were going for it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Renegade_H</b></div><div>Ok. Laughton at 3C with top prospect in Foerester, plus pick upgrade, plus 3M in cap space. Sure.</div></div>

I don't think it's the value necessarily, it's the timing - Nylander's familiar with the systems, is a known quantity, and gives the Leafs the best chance of winning this year. Also, I don't think Nylander would be proficient as a top pairing center - the experiment's been tried and it's not generally the best use of his talents.

Thread: Defensive Changes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Craig_Conroy_sucks</b></div><div>You would probably have to give Toronto a 6th and Vancouver either a 2nd or 3rd but pretty solid trades otherwise</div></div>

The Leafs wouldn't do this, but because they'd be at the same cap with one less d-man. They would need to shed an above 2million dollar forward and I don't think Edmonton's hurting for middle 6 forwards.

Thread: My Ducks Team

A 3rd is a bit rich; I think people over-value the leverage aspect of being close to the cap. The worst it'd be for Toronto would be to trade Jarnkrok for nothing, because he's a good player.

Thread: Starting Lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SGB88</b></div><div>What's not happening? Timmins? If so, how do the Leafs keep Timmins and Liljegren. There's just no space as far as I can see. If Lilegren is not making it we'll take him instead.

Otherwise, they're going to need to make some other trade I guess.</div></div>

It's more likely the Leafs deal a forward to keep their D - They don't really have RD depth behind Timmins that's ready for the NHL, but they have quite a few on the cusp ELC's on the wing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>CHI won't pay for Jarnkrok.</div></div>

30-35 points and 15-20 goals a season for a fifth seems much more than fair, no? And there's no way Chicago uses all of their draft picks in the next 3 years to draft players.

Thread: Cant Wait for the Season to Start

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Though I like the idea of trading Jarnkrok so the Leafs can keep two 1m players, does any team with cap be on Jarnkrok's M NTCs list of teams he is willing to go to.</div></div>

I'm curious if Bedard changes player's minds on Chicago being an undesirable location to play, kind of like Matthews did for Toronto in 2016.
