Speculation: Fishing for value - unqualified RFA's

[Bluelines]

Some "notable" RFA's not qualified (will become UFA's July 1st), who would you sign to a value contact (cheap/short term) that you think could help the Leafs? You can make multiple selections.

Leipsic and Lazar. Sign Leipsic to a two way deal and have him back as a leader on the Marlies. I always thought Lazar was a pretty responsible player when he was on the Sens. He never found his offensive touch, but I'd be willing to give him a shot.

I didnt vote for Hartman, but he would probably ne next on this list. I've read though that he has long inconsistent stretches and theres some questions about his effort at times. Havent watched him enough to know, but the fact hes bounced around so much lately raises some red flags.

I think everyone from this list will be bargain bin type signings outside of Ben Hutton who should get a decent deal. The Leafs should be all over this group. I'd like to sign Hartman, Cousins, Leipsic and Beaulieu to round out the bottom of the lineup. Brett Ritchie and Curtis Lazar on contracts where they start in the AHL interests me as well.

Moore - Cousins - Hartman
ex. Leipsic

instead of...

Moore - Gauthier - Brown
ex. Petan

Beaulieu could fight with Borgman for minutes as an alternating #6-7 D.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Reider

 

[Nithoniniel]

Jaskin would be a good replacement for Brown if we move him.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Cousins mostly.

A bit on Ritchie and Hartman ..

Everyone else is just not that great and the Leafs have a lot of wingers that could win jobs in camp.

I'm more prone to giving a veteran a cheap deal under $1 mill. Brouwer is one name .. McGinn could be another

 

[56 Years No Cup]

WOW! Look at all those mid-late first round picks who amounted to nothing.

 

[The Iceman]

Where is my boy Soshnikov?

Picking up the scrap heap you would be looking at depth and 4th line additions.
LW and C depth required
Have to think Cousins is better that GOAT.
Ex Leaf Verhaeghe had a beast statistical season playng centre for the Syracuse team. 82 points/34 goals and plays centre
A few interesting LW for depth.

Verhaeghe go unqualified?

 

[Kiwi]

Cousins, Reider, Jaskin

They would need to be 1M or less but I'd have interest in any of them if they were

 

[MyBudJT]

None of the above. The quality ones will probably be out of our price range

 

[gamer1035]

Fill out our roster with all these guys on cheap deals.

 

[ULF_55]

defense is a need.

leafs have forwards to spare.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Hartman for me. Think he'd look good on our 4th line potentially

 

[jaric1862]

Cousins would be a great addition as a 4th line option. I’m sure Dubas likes him given he was on his team with the greyhounds.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

You aer Missing Ben Hutton he'd be a good replacement for Hainsey

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

defense is a need.

leafs have forwards to spare.

Gauthier can't be our 4th line center again

 

[Northernguy10]

Only Ryan Hartman.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Gauthier can't be our 4th line center again

Leafs have to play him to save face

 

[Trapper]

defense is a need.

leafs have forwards to spare.

What would you trade to get a good D?

 

[supermann_98]

Voted:
Beaulieu - if for not other reason to not see Jake back with some D depth
Granlund - center depth in case Kadri is suspended/traded or Auston/JT missing any number of games

 

[Stamkos4life]

Imagine loosing marner for 4 of these guys lol

Should inject a little reality into the situation shouldn't it?

 

[Warden of the North]

Hartman for me. Think he'd look good on our 4th line potentially

It scares me hes going to be on 4 teams in a year~. Whats the problem with him?

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Honestly have no clue. He has some grit to his game and some scoring touch based on his one 19 goal season so you'd think he'd at least be able to stick with someone. Haven't heard of any personal issues so maybe he's just taken some steps back.
