Sportsnet: Friedman: TOR could take swing for 1 Year of Panarin

[Cor]

Figured this is a pretty insane rumor from Friedge that we could have a stand alone thread.



Could you even imagine lirl

Kinda wish Friedge would stop thinking so much and reported more often.

Would be an insane top 9 though.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Friedman should take a swing at some intelligent speculation for a change

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Don't see how this makes any sense for us

We'll have to give up some valuable assets for a short-term fix

Don't think there's much else needed to be said

 

[Snip Genos]

I can't see that making sense unless we lose a Marner or Nylander and the price isn't too high at the trade deadline but even then not sure he would be the right guy for us. Now, Jenner or Foligno or someone like that might be interesting

Depending on the assets required, I'm for going all in while Marner and Matthews are on their ELC.

 

[Cor]

It's probably not going to happen. We can all agree. But let's assume it's some package of picks and prospects;

Panarin - Tavares - Marner
Marleau - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Kadri - Kapanen
Johnsson - Lindholm - Brown

lmao

The draft picks/prospects/young players that we'll have to give up will be more valuable to us down the road when Matthews/Marner/Nylander's extensions kick in

 

[Kurisu]

Can Panarin play defence?

Remember, its 1 year of Panarin who has a predetermined list of places he wants to go as a UFA.
The return won't be whats expected.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Can Panarin play defence?

Exactly
Dubbie needs the D

 

[Eternal Leaf]

10 goals per game coming right up.

Dubas saw that thread and said "Challenge Accepted!"

What a Legen.....


..... wait for it......

Regardless, you're still giving up prospects and/or draft picks and/or young players (which is more valuable) than a player who is here for 1 year (playing at a position of luxury not need) and guaranteed to leave

 

[PuckMagi]

I think we actually have a good chance at getting him. We are a contending team and we have the cap space for him. We have wingers that we could trade: Kapanen, Johnsson, Leivo, Hyman, Brown, etc. We have draft picks, we have some other descent looking prospects. The one guy I wouldn't really want to trade out of that group is Johnsson.

This could be one of our best chances to win the cup because we have Matthews and Marner for so cheap. Might as well try to take advantage by stacking our team as much as possible this year.

 

[Menzinger]

While in a vacuum it would be a fun add, his cost won’t be cheap - and the Leafs prospect pool isn’t deep enough to make a trade like that

I guess Kapanen + 1st + any prospect not named Liljegren/Dermott might be tempting, but I’d imagine other teams could beat that offer

If it increases your odd of winning a championship, you do it.
The position of need doesn't have any viable candidates so why not upgrade in another area to compensate if the value is acceptable?

 

[Buds17]

I'm sure Columbus still views themselves as a playoff team (or in the playoff hunt at the least) so any return on a possible trade would likely attempt to reflect that. I understand the logic of kick tires and bolster a strength if it's workable, but I'm not sure the ask would be, especially if it ends up being one (season) and done, as much as I like the team's chances to make noise this season.

 

[Warden of the North]

This isnt going to happen.

No chance

 

[Tavares to Marner]

It's probably not going to happen. We can all agree. But let's assume it's some package of picks and prospects;

Panarin - Tavares - Marner
Marleau - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Kadri - Kapanen
Johnsson - Lindholm - Brown

lmao

not enough hyman with Matthews

 

[FlareKnight]

Worth a chuckle at how nonsense the forward core would be with this team. But obviously not something likely to happen. Would only make sense for the Leafs as a pure rental and thus picks/prospects and I doubt Columbus wouldn't just keep him for the year in that case.

Still, we're in the middle of summer so some silly speculation is fine. And if upgrades on the blueline aren't easy to swing for...I don't mind the speculation on just continuing to bulk up on the forwards to the point that it just shouldn't matter who is on defense .

 

[Nylander88]

Makes zero sense

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

If that's the only factor you look at, then you're making mistakes more times than not

 

[Nithoniniel]

Friedman seemed to have speculated on this due to our cap space, but I don't think we'll be spending to cap this year.
