GDT: Trades & Free Agency

#1 Priority July 1st signing: Jake McCabe.

 

[Joseph Nathan]

Byfield would be another good target from LA. Not sure if LA would be interested in something like this but Marner + Jarnkrok for Clarke, Byfield, and Moore.

Lol nobody essentially la and teams are moving young C's and young top Dman for a Winger, especially one with 1 year left and one trick pony. Lower your expectations

Someone else mentioned that he's already signed for next year

Laurent Brossoit might be one of my top goalie targets in the offseason. Solid backup numbers the last couple of years. Big goalie that could give some support for Woll but also not impede Hildeby from getting a chance next season.

Have I got some good news for you!

We can extend him starting July 1st can't we?

Brandt Clarke is awesome. Dubois woud be a good move I think but worried about his attitude. We definitley need a 2C and a 1D. Clarke could become a 1D pretty quickly.

Clarke is Kings future 1d and he is more needed by LA then Marner and his huge salary.
Kings already have Kempe and Fiala, who may be not as good as Marner, but very good as well.
LA need to improve their goalies, defense and physicality.
Marner is none of those.

I think they mean extending him beyond that. You can re-sign a year away from UFA.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

McCabe has that dawg in him. I love the crazy look in his eyes.

He need to be re-signed and July 1st is the first opportunity to do so.

He's been one of the best additions to this team in a long time. I do worry about his extension cap hit but I do think the Leafs should 100% give him a few more years. He's exactly what people want in our D -- he plays physical, he's tough as nails, pretty solid defensively and can make plays. He's a very good mid pair defender.

I said at the time (and many times since) that that trade was just an incredible piece of business. It makes the Foligno/O'Rielly rentals harder to stomach in comparison.

There's no reason to extend McCabe this summer.

I like him a lot, buy resigning aging non-stars that early is a giant risk.

If the season is going well, sign him sometime mid season.

We need a Brandon Montour this offseason to compliment our top 4 and be a point shot threat on the PP.

I won't say Clarke would be involved, but I've watched some of your series vs. Edmonton; you don't need more physicality or defense.

Quite the opposite, which Marner would provide.

Pionk

and I think Barron has a lot of potential as a big C as well

I mean, If giving up a first-round pick for a 4/5 defenseman is an "incredible piece of business," then deary me. We've let the standard for our GMs slide way too far.

Good dude , a pretty good player, but that's laying it on a bit thick.

McMann
McCabe

There's just one more Mc to add to the collection. The best one of all.....

That's right, Connor.......McMichael

We also have Connor Dewar and Conor Timmins...

Maybe we can complete the Connor Mc- collection with McMichael

Add Domi and Bert too

He is the lone survivor from all the new guys that were bought in last season.
In a way, he is like Rambo and he plays like Rambo.

Maybe we can complete with Connor Mc- collection with McMichael

I'm all for having confusing names on the team

Frazer McClaren and Mark Fraser
Rielly and O'Reilly

Love that the Isles vs canes have two Sebastian Aho's. The loser should have to change his name

I'd argue that he's more of a 3-4 than a 4-5. 20 minutes a night, not sheltered in any way, and the "lead" guy on his pairing.

As well, the term is the big part of it.

When second pair D rentals start at 2nd+ and often touch 1st+, getting 3 playoff runs of a guy at 2m is indeed pretty incredible relative to market.

2022
-a rental Manson @50% go for 2nd+ Helleson (highly regarded former top 60 pick, 6'3 RHD prospect ready to turn pro)
-Kulak for a 2nd+
-Chiarot for a 1st+
2021 deadline
-Savard rental 1st+3rd (+4th for 3rd party retention)

On this team, he is 3-4, but that's indicative of how shallow the D core is.

Those other trades are not very good, though. Manson is the only one where I think if you took him out, that team's group would actually lose something.

Again, for me, it's too steep of a price for him. No one here would trade Cowan for McCabe, and that's the kind of player you're hoping for with the first.

You mean this look?

 

[Jozay]

Zadorov is having a good series for VAN. I just know Treliving cant wait to throw 5.5 at him lol
