[Tony Romo]

What did I say?

stop it. please.

WHO ARE WE GETTING!??!?!?!?

Gonna miss your speed Kap, it would be a huge change in position for the organization if it was a goalie I highly doubt that is the case, it has to be a defenceman, that is our largest need and if you trade one of our only trade bits for something other than D you need to go Dub.

Unless you get a great D for Andersen?

 

[BB06]

Jack Johnson is the last player a guy like Dubas would target. Definitely a troll job.

 

[Fatass]

Curious to what they give up. Kapanen is a solid player.

Also, you can trade during the Playoffs?

As soon as teams are out, they can make deals.
This is the fun part if hockey. Love trade stuff! Go Dubas Go!

 

[super6646]

If Johnson is included does that mean Pittsburgh is trading their first too?

 

[General Fanager]

Andersen will be a UFA after next season. Seattle won't take a UFA and Toronto won't pay them to take a UFA.

hmm I didnt see he was UFA after next year. So he watches or splits time with Murray

 

[CupInSIX]

My guess: Kapanen for Murray + Bjugstad buyout
Andersen to Calgary or SJ

The revolving goalie door begins today

 

[Voight]

Murray would make no sense. They have Andersen signed for next season, plus Campbell for 2 more.

Murray is going to command at least 4-5 million/year, which isnt something they can afford with paying Andersen 5/year. Unless theres another move to trade him, but that wouldnt make sense.

 

[orby]

There's no way JJ is involved.

Andersen to Calgary

Leafs have like no cap space. No chance they can afford to buy out Bjugstad.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

1. Murray was Dubas and Keefe's goalie in the OHL
2. Andersen is due for an extension next off-season, one they may not want to give him based on their lack of success
3. They've lost in the 1st round in every year with Andersen. I think he's definitely a better goalie than Murray, but they need to make changes.

Fun fact: so was Jack Campbell.

Doesn’t make sense to me, but let’s see

600k cap hit

 

[Boomstick]

Can this trade be done today? I had no idea there was no trade freeze. Interesting.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Meh didn't want to go because his speed is unique but he's not really an "untapped potential" type guy anymore, any chance he got to play in the top 6 he sewered his linemates. Good explosive bottom 6 guy to catch guys in the counter attack, frustrating but you'll like him.

No idea who Penguins have that will be a good return though.

 

[JT Kreider]

stop it. please.

whatever that was it was deleted

 

[Henkka]

Kapanen the next Leaf to move on a team with better success.

 

[Riseonfire]

Murray is not that good you guys...

 

[GoldiFox]

Murray would make no sense. They have Andersen signed for next season, plus Campbell for 2 more.

Murray is going to command at least 4-5 million/year, which isnt something they can afford with paying Andersen 5/year. Unless theres another move to trade him, but that wouldnt make sense.

Unless they plan to move Andersen to a different team. Re-arrange the deck chairs a bit on that Titanic roster.

 

[General Fanager]

Doesn't Anderson have one year left though, so Leafs have to trade him now. He’d be a UFA during expansion, no?

yea i didnt see he was UFA after 1 more year.

So give up a roster player to add a goalie just to lose your number 1?

Murray would be the #1 and maybe get an asset back if they are able to move Anderson.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Fun fact: so was Jack Campbell.

Yeah, that's an important part. Dubas has shown a tendency to re-acquire players he was either a junior coach for or an agent for. It's not just a coincidence.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Surprised the Leafs are giving up on Kapanen already.

 

[Nucker42]

Prediction is Hornswaggle

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Can this trade be done today? I had no idea there was no trade freeze. Interesting.

If this refers to the annual trade deadline, it's not a trade freeze, it's the deadline a player has to be on your roster in order to be eligible for the playoffs.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Can this trade be done today? I had no idea there was no trade freeze. Interesting.

Every team that's out can make trades.

 

[TeddyBare]

It's picks coming back

that they flip again
