Proposal: A 1st and a 2nd for Matthew Knies and a 3rd in order to flip picks for help on D and PK.

Can this be the outside the box idea that Treliving is looking for in order to bolster TOR for a playoff drive?

I guess its outside the box.... but not sure what teams would pay that price... couldnt you just package
Knies with picks to get a solid dmen?

 

[A1LeafNation]

Were not trading Knies ffs.

 

[Frenzy31]

Why would a team not want Knies if you are trading for a D?

 

[Bond]

Just trade Knies for the D?

 

[Arthur Morgan]

I dunno Im biased on our prospects but I like Knies, I feel he's the type of player our franchise always trades and then regret. lets not trade him. let's just accept the fact that we aren't that good. and bandaid fixes arent going to get the job done.

all these years spending caught up to us. we aren't a dman away from winning the cup. and moving a kid like Knies feels really stupid. we need to break up this damn core. but will never happen.

That's fair but who are the leafs trading to get better? If you arent trading Knies,

We arent this year is pray for a miracle playoff run

Its big 4 or bust. Very likely bust

We need cowan + minten to be contributers right away next year

Tavares next year final year then we can fix up the teams depth issues ideally

Sucks but thats life as a leaf fan for now

 

[Ianturnedbull]

The ball is in your court. Allow a 1st and 2nd and you get Knies and a 3rd.

Once those assets arrive you may push your best D and depth forward for a 1st and 2nd.

Yikes. Just throwing away this year then because they aren't going to get a significant piece on the backend without taking giving up something. Unless they think Ristolainen is an upgrade.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Knies + Liljgren + 1st

The package that ruled them all.

You don't know and I don't know. The only thing that is different is that you claim to be part of the Toronto Management Team (privileged to the war room white board) in order to stop any hockey discussion.

Trade proposals aren't created because there's a claim to insider information.

In my opinion nhl GM's don't strive to be medium. The people they answer to expect results and not medium. You want to make the playoffs every year. That is always the goal. Medium is not playoffs. Medium is not signing Bertuzzi, Klingberg, Domi, etc. in the offseason. Why draft/develop/re-sign star players in order to be Medium?

Medium might be the current results, but there is no way that was the goal.

Woof. Relying on an 18 year old and Minten? That's a really dumb strategy. Minten is Ben Jones.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Leafs won't trade Knies lol. People need to understand he only played 50 hockey games last year and 38 the year before that. He's already played 47 this year

 

[rt]

Arizona offers: ‘24 WSH 2nd, ‘24 EDM 3rd, ‘25 EDM 2nd, and ‘26 OTT 2nd.

Will add Dumba with 50% retention if desired (take out the 3rd)

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Kings can make a deal for Knies with Roy

 

[HabsAddict]

Why is 18 point Knies worth a 1st and a 2nd? Has he scored 50 points in some alternate universe NHL?

 

[I am Canadian]

That's fair but who are the leafs trading to get better? If you arent trading Knies,

There's no point in making a dumb short sighted trade. The Leafs will get better via free agency when the Tavares and/or Marner money frees up.

Until then, they need to work with what they have. Trading a good player capable of playing top 6 on an ELC is not the answer.

 

[stevo61]

Or could just trade for a cheaper option value and contract wise. Provorov can be retained down to 2.3 mil for this year and next. Just send over a 1st and some cap to make it work

Feel like a Habs fan should know all about underachieving young players. They still have value

Why is a fan of the team preaching patience to Slaf throwing stones? Yeah Knies is older and Toronto fans hyped him up too much but he is still a rookie who has desireable traits

Brilliant answer.

Bye...

Granted, he may have desirable traits but this value is very high.

Unless we are talking about very late 1st and 2nd. We got two of those but I still would not spend them on Knies.

So is Slaf worth less then a 1st and 2nd?
