Friedman: Leafs "All in" for best forward they can get.

[Mats13]

He's exactly the type of player you want in the playoffs. Chip in points, physical and shows up every game.

He doesn’t exactly light the lamp in the playoffs

And I could give you that same exact description for someone like Taylor Hall

I just can’t see Foligno being worth the price.

Toronto adds an injured 4th liner because their fans think draft picks and prospects are more important than a cup.

Was the trade deadline today?

Ridiculous conclusion given the trade deadline isn't until Monday.
And what fans think prospects are more important than winning the Cup?

What do you think he will cost because I don't think he would cost as much as Savard did

 

[cyris]

No to Foligno please. Unless it’s cheap. A rental. Chances are he heads back to the Jackets next year.

Who cares if he goes back to Cbus? He would be a rental why would you care where he goes after?

Question for leafs fans (My girlfriend wants to ask because she's a leafs fan and me a habs fan)

Who do you think Toronto will most likely Target because the signs are there they are gonna acquire an important piece in my opinion
thanks.

 

[Mats13]

What do you think he will cost because I don't think he would cost as much as Savard did

No idea what their ask is, but just basing on the Savard overpay. Wouldn’t give up any top 7 prospect, 1sts or even Kerfoot to get him.

must be tough

Foligno is an obvious option. Maybe Taylor Hall. Nobody really knows what Dubas has up his sleeve

Well, some people believe it's foligno. some believe it's hall. there's a chance it's for granlund, too.... which was assumed to be a Leaf at one point in the season.

Truth is, Dubas operates in the dark a lot of the time so it'd be anyones guess.

 

[IdontSpitOnTheIce]

This is definitely something leaked intentionally by a seller.

 

[Aoko]

This is now a Taylor Hall to the Leafs Thread

OR

This is now a under rate the Leafs prospects thread

Taylor Hall should only be in contention if you want to win the lottery pick. You can't win the lottery pick by trading your first round pick this year for him. It defeats the purpose of acquiring him kek.

So true lol

 

[Leaf Fans]

Was the trade deadline today?

No, it wasn't and there are other teams that haven't even traded a 7th.

Aight thank you for both of ur reples

it's not that tough

Saturday nights must be interesting lol

 

[banks]

I don't want theeafs to get Hall, but it's looking like that might be the way things end up. If they just wanted Granlund or Foligno it should have happened by now.

Hall is a tougher trade to do, and you might need some other moves to set the market first. The longer it goes without a big splash from Toronto, the more I think they land Hall.

 

[Cotton]

My prediction is the only move Dubas makes is getting Mattias Janmark.

That would be a solid move, it can't be THE move

I'm thinking Mike Hoffman

 

[cupcrazyman]

But in all seriousness Dubas likes to surprise us with his trades and who he trades for.

It'll probably be a name no one has thought of.

Max Domi?

I thought of him to the Leafs the other day.
Then we will have 3 forwards that can actually throw a body check.

 

[cyris]

I'm thinking Mike Hoffman

I don’t see that happening. He isn’t good defensively and there are questions about his character fair or not.
One of the things Fredman has talked about is how Toronto likes the way their dressing room is this season and how they won’t bring in anyone who would be bad for the culture.

 

[lwvs84]

Rakell + Manson

Screw cap space. We'll figure it out

Not saying it would be cheap or worth it for Toronto to make a deal like this, but Rakell and Manson at 50% each would be a total of under $4 mil... and both are looking like their former selves (in Manson's case, not the outlier offensive season but the reliable and physical defensive d-man). I don't know what the Leafs would offer the Ducks that would make it worth it. Lil would of interest I assume (if he projects as a second pair RHD), but outside of that the only thing the Ducks are missing is top line/elite talent.

Depends if "all in" is actually in the cards.
Trying not to be biased but the Leafs have stockpiled pretty good assets for this very reason.

Sandin
Liljgren
Robertson
Amirov

Should be enticing prospects.
I know Leaf fans are worried about the ED, shortened year, and obviously the HF mentality of keeping prospects/picks - but if Dubas feels ready ( first in the league what more do you want), might be time.

The cost for both Rakell + Manson, retained, would be astronomical, especially considering Anaheim would have to retain 1.9 million on Rakell next year as well.

After watching what Savard went for today, would you be shocked if Anaheim asked for something like this?

To Toronto
Rickard Rakell (Retained)
Josh Manson (Retained)

To Anaheim
Nick Robertson
Timothy Liljegren
2021 2nd round pick
2022 1st round pick

Truthfully, they might want even more if we're being intellectually honest with ourselves.

Man, its overwhelming what those teams added. So many stars. You're bad at this.
