Value of: Gudas/Simmonds package deal to Toronto

[justafan22]

A few years ago, he wont on record actually saying he wouldnt. Now, a lot has changed since then, so who really knows. But he wasnt a leafs fan growing up and said as such i believe.

Gudas is more likely anyways. 1st + brown offer stands. for Gudas + 4th

Thanks, i was too lazy to look up the article. Thought i remember Montreal being a favorite of his as well, but maybe im just confusing colors.

At the deadline, after we get rid of Simmonds, im ok with that.

This Leafs fan says no thanks. Way too much.

Brown has to be in the deal since the leafs need to make the deal as cash neutral as possible since both deals expire after next year.

Im ok with Brown coming back - i think hed be a good fit here and could help fill out our bottom 6 after we get rid of Simmonds. Flyers could easily retain on Gudas, as well.

Thanks and yep. Personally, I would offer 2nd and Zaitsev for Gudas. If that does not work probably go with Zaitsev and 1st for Gudas+2nd.

This makes no sens for the Flyers. They give up the better player for a worse player with a higher cap hit and 5 years remaining on the deal and barely improve on their 2nd round pick. This also means Zaitsev would have to be protected during the next expansion draft. Swapping a 2nd for a 1st barely moves the needle considering the Leafs pick is likely to be within 10 spots of the Flyers second pick. The Flyers give up Gudas and the 34th-38th pick and the Leafs give up Zaitsev and the 26th-31st pick? Huge no.

If you retain on Gudas, then 1st + brown is fine, with no pick coming back.

Ill have the paper dated for the deadline and we'll get'er done.

He is a blue jays fan thou

You know....as a guy who isn't even a Leafs fan, you sure do like offering overpayments on their behalf.

You want Myers then take out Zaitsev and put in Kapanen. I don't want any part of Zaitsev and his 5 years remaining. If he's that valuable to the Leafs then keep him.

Dubas is trying to get rid of good players?

Well that's a bold strategy

maybe 3rd liners on one of the worst teams in hockey aren't actually good?

 

[SensFactor]

Leafs would have to send back Kapanen or Kadri and other pieces to get Simmonds and Gudas. Gritty players that can score ain't cheap.

How much are gritty players that can score and are signed long term worth?

Lol...

Dubas on team toughness: “We focus a lot on the division and we’re usually bigger than the opponent and for whatever reason that takes on a whole life of it’s own, the whole toughness question. It’s at every level, with Soo and the Marlies. I don’t buy it."

he's not interested, folks.

 

[zeke]

Asked Dubas if #Leafs are actively pursuing an upgrade on defence. He said team needs to be moving the puck out better

puckmovers wanted. not goons.
