Trades & Proposals Thread 2016... Is it Trade Deadline Yet?

[BertCorbeau]

I predict the Leafs will make 4 trades over the next month:

One involving Polak, one involving PAP, one involving either Matthias/Reimer/Bernier, and one that is random and unforeseen - but more of a minor deal.

 

[StanleyTOR]

Would you do this deal for Matthews

Just out of pure curiosity. I know Matthews is equivalent/better than Eichel (or at least that's what I've seen/heard).

In that sense, Matthews is a franchise player. Would you trade for Nylander OR Marner + our first round pick this year to get Matthews?

Is he worth that? Just curious.

 

[Purity*]

No way.

I'll concede that Matthews is easily better than Marner or Nylander individually but not combined. AND our 1st round pick which could possibly be Pulj/Laine/Chychrun??


No thanks.

 

[teeder333*]

I wouldn't. As anyone watching can see, we need lots of good players, not just one.

 

[Guy Boucher]

It depends where we are picking. I'm not really high on this draft past the top 6-7.

It really doesn't sound like anything big will happen. I doubt a major trade happens involving a 'core' or player signed long-term.

I think the biggest 'surprise' will involve either Bernier or Reimer to have Sparks finish as the backup.

 

[Joey Hoser]

Not for Nylander. If our pick was like 10th or something then Marner might be something to consider.

 

[mikebel111*]

no I would not

 

[kk87]

Not a chance. The separation between Matthews at #1 and picks 2-5 is clear, but not nearly this drastic.

If the Leafs held the 3rd overall and they could deal it and one of their best prospects for a supposed franchise player, NHL history tells me a thousand times yes. No doubt the price would be higher than that if the NHL people really think this guy a surefire franchise type center. Look at the price paid for Eric Lindros by Philadelphia and package offered by the Rangers.

I agree with you ... But then again we're used to big rumours from the old regime - and Lou has kept the cards close to the chest ... So we could be in for a surprise

If you believe that Matthews/Marner/Rielly can be your Toews/Kane/Keith, then yes.
Now add to that core.
However where are we drafting from? I'm assuming 6th/7th/8th?

 

[Backhandshelf81]

We can't afford to do that. Would rather just take Laine/Chychrun/whoever.

 

[mayfield7]

Depends where we are picking. I believe anywhere higher than 6 is where I'd consider doing this.

We all love Nylander and Marner, but neither appear to project like Matthews does.

 

[Buds17]

Too big of a deal for me. Love the idea of Matthews as a Leaf, but I'd prefer it happen via the lottery.

 

[OvenMittz*]

Yea. i don't see much happening, other than picks being acquired from our free wallets.

 

[OvenMittz*]

 

[taurine330]

Nope, never.

 

[KGL]

Yeah, that's my thoughts exactly.

 

[Cor]

I have a sense that a deal will go down soon.

 

[Cor]

God No.

 

[Stephen]

I'd do the Pittsburgh first and Marner probably... after some soul searching...

 

[dubplatepressure]

I have a sense that a deal will go down soon.

Me too, and I think it'll be larger than we thought.

 

[I Believe]

Then when deadline day is winding down....BAM! Blockbuster

 

[Mess]

I'm personally of the belief that Leafs are more likely to deal Matthews away for a truck load of assets as opposed to trading away a bunch of their own assets to obtain him. IMO.

If the Leafs happen to win the lottery and have the top pick. There will be some serious offers coming in from other teams to try and obtain it.

While at the end of the day I doubt Leafs would deal the pick away, the odds would be higher of that happening then Leafs dealing up to get him.
