Proposal: Leafs Trades to Fix Defensive Woes

[Ziggdiezan]

If Freddie played half as well as he has these playoffs he's probably covered a lot up this year

Freddy was really bad for the first few games of the playoffs. Plenty of weak goals and goals in the first minute of play to deflate the team.

He has been much better the last 2 or 3 though .

 

[Scott Stevens]

Yikes. Wouldn't admit to that.

Why not? I like the jays. I don’t like bruins or leafs. Seems an easy choice.

 

[loyaltotheend]

Habs laugh and hang up. Leafs want Weber think Marner.

Hahahaha not a chance.

 

[Doyoulikeapples*]

Nylander wouldn't get Weber.

You are literally out of your mind.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Wait.
264GA is better than 232GA

Did I see that right?

 

[Rockmorton]

Seems like the Flames and Leafs could be natural trading partners. Calgary needs skill on RW and have depth on D. Toronto has three quality, young RWers and need to upgrade their D.

I wonder if something could be done around Brodie and one of Marner, Nylander or Kapanen? What gets a deal done?

I don’t know how “untouchable” each of these guys are for the Leafs. The only non starter for the Flames would be Hamilton. I can’t see the Flames moving him.

Idk Marner is untouchable he has been ppg for like the last 60 or so games.

Nylander could be dealt but unlikely and Kappy is unknown he's really coming together but we are pulling a Tampa cause another winger for us has emerged in Andreas Johnson.

I'd think one of the latter two could be dealt but I'm not sure Brodie is that guy. As a leafs fan I'd take a chance that he rebounds but many leafs fans don't want to meh.

 

[Razz]

So, what are these woes you speak of?

does Brodie play RD? The left side is pretty full for the Leafs. Would imagine that only Kapanen would be on the table for Brodie after last season if he plays the right side

Rasmus Andersson is probably a better discussion point

Brodie was a top pairing RD until Gulutzan came along. I used Brodie instead of prospects because it seems the Leafs are looking for top four help now, not futures.

Would Marner or Nylander be available, realistically? Calgary needs a RHS who can play legit top six RW minutes.

I think we'd be willing to wait on a guy like Andersson because he looks ready to at least get started now, out patchwork top 4 is doing alright and there's not much pressure to force the compete window open (especially if we win tonight, that will look like progress to fans and ownership)

There's a chance that one of Marner or Nylander would be available for Hamilton, that would be the only way that I can see that being realistic.

But, something around Andersson for...Kapanen/Brown maybe?

 

[rent free]

I’ll be watching the other team over there. It’s Red Sox week.

Yah it their week to get destroyed by the jays

 

[TS Quint]

Yup but I bet they aren't that high on the high danger scoring chances. Leafs allow lots of shot from out far or from bad angles but not too many from the slot.

Whatever mental gymnastics you need to perform.

 

[Klaus3154]

I would jump all over Toronto’s 1st and Montreal’s 2nd for Zucc from the Rangers side

 

[t0nedeff]

That Carolina proposal is hilarious somehow a d prospect kapenen and a 2nd is worth 2 top 4 defenseman

 

[Tkachuky]

I honestly think the Leafs need a strong defensive guy I.e Vlasic/Giordano.

Gio has been a rock defensively this past year.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

All I know is the Leafs definitely don't need Tanev

 

[McVespa99]

Trade Gardiner. That would be a good start

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Trade Gardiner for a bag of pucks and the Leafs will be much better!

 

[bluedevil58]

Hanifin for Nylander.

 

[TaLoN]

Spurgeon + Coyle for Nylander and a 2nd.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

So... uh. Is Gardiner always that bad, or did someone that’s never played defence before just replace him tonight?

Good PMD but prone to these idiotic gaffs.

To be fair to Jake, this was probably his worst game all year. Hainsey and Andy were also awful as well. I thought Hainsey was worst than Jake all series, but he gets a free pass for some reason.

With Jake, you get flashes of brilliances, and flashes of awful. He was just playing in over his head right now, against a ~top 3 team in the league, IMO...possibly the best.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Dougie Hamilton for Mitch Marner lets go

Although the Leafs need a defensive defenseman badly. Should have ponied up for Hamonic last summer.
