TSN: Leafs again kicking tires on Luke Glendening

[nbwingsfan]

He is not better than Boyle, that is not now, nor has it ever been true.

You're on your own on thinking that for sure. Hes one of the best shutdown C in the league.

 

[Magic Man]

only way it works is if the wings eat half his salary. 900k isnt much to them, but it is to the leafs cap

glendenning@900k for a 2nd + Holl?

Moore-Gauthier-Glendenning would be a decent enough 4th line for next year

That's what I'm thinking. A 900K cap hit would be good value for Glendening in a depth position with the Leafs upcoming cap crunch. If Detroit made that possible with the 2 extra years of control I'd award them a 2020 2nd (so the Leafs have a top-60 pick in each of the next 2 years) for their troubles and a young player caught behind others (Timashov, Carcone or Holl).

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Nobody else on your team (drafted or in the NHL) has value comparable to Kapanen. Larkin is the only piece that even gets close value wise. Leafs would have to add a bit but yeah.

Right considering that Kapenen's best season is 43 points 5 point less then Mantha's best season. Yet Larkin is the only one that has more value then Kapanen. Yeah don't think so.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Kapanen would cost you Larkin.

For Glendening you’re looking at late picks.

Larkin had more points last season than Kapanen has in his entire career. Let alone the 10 other reasons that make Larkin more valuable

 

[Dotter]

Dubas is out of his mind if he thinks he can trade with Ken Holland. Kenny will destroy him in a trade.

 

[TML1967]

Zaitsev, Brown and a 2nd for Glendenning and Kronwal?

 

[Richard Menzel]

Good asset management should have started by recognizing Zaitsev wasn’t worth 4.5 million dollars for 6 years.

What team in their right mind would take on Zaitev's contract??? I guess expected from Toronto fans who think they can get rid of trash for assets, lmao. Its going to be funny when Marner gets offered 10.1 mil per year so they wont get the 4 1st rd pics and someone will offer 4 million for Kapenen and only have to give up a 2nd rd pick!!

 

[Henkka]

Kapanen would cost you Larkin.

Kapanen costs only nude picks nowadays.

1 goal in last 16 games. What an impact guy playing along Tavares.

 

[Henkka]

Nobody else on your team (drafted or in the NHL) has value comparable to Kapanen. Larkin is the only piece that even gets close value wise. Leafs would have to add a bit but yeah.

Kapanen is very equal on his career path with Athanasiou. Please stop eating mushrooms and get back on real life happenings.

 

[Henkka]

Not what the leafs can afford, unless Connor Brown is going in this deal.

What's wrong with Brown, when he is all the time on these trade proposals?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Babs is definitely a fanboy of his

 

[Magic Man]

What's wrong with Brown, when he is all the time on these trade proposals?

Not much. Good speed, solid defensive/PK player, battles hard. Young and on a good contract, with RFA status still when it ends. Can play both wings and up and down the lineup. He'd bring positive value back to Toronto in trade. Some posters are concerned with next years salary cap. That's all.

 

[Henkka]

Yeah that too.

Though a quick glance at his fancy stats is that they look pretty dreadful, which further makes it odd a guy like Dubas would be interested

Too bad if Dubas isn't enough smart to be interest in player who is +9 goals and 58% in GF% at Bottom6 role.

 

[Henkka]

Imo, that's kind of the future Red Wings mentality. Also the age will fit better to our future core prime (than Glendy).

I could see a swap between him and Glendening, with other particles on a trade, because Red Wings have to add.

EDIT:

Or if Trevor Daley goes on the same trade...

Glendening + Daley (50% retained)
<>
Connor Brown + 3rd pick

 

[Leaf Fans]

Dubas is out of his mind if he thinks he can trade with Ken Holland. Kenny will destroy him in a trade.

No, he won't. Holland is one of the most professional people in hockey.

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

Zaitsev, Brown and a 2nd for Glendenning and Kronwal?

Wings fans have already come out and said we do not want Zaitsev... Like at all.

 

[Claypool]

I'll take Liljegren straight up.

 

[Dicky Dangles]

Both Luke and Glen, the Dening twins? I'd give up a 1st rounder for them.

 

[ricky0034]

Zaitsev+??? for Glendenning.

Otherwise...why? That is an expensive 4th line guy.

considering Zaitsevs severe negative value and the Wings reportedly wanting a 2nd for Glendening

....Marner seems fair

 

[Vitto79]

Detroit wants to lose salary so why retain ?

 

[dubplatepressure]

I'll take Liljegren straight up.

Naturally.

 

[spiderham616]

Seems like Dubas paying Babs a courtesy

 

[Liferleafer]

I'll take Liljegren straight up.

Pretty sure we'd all take a deal so heavily lopsided in our favor....kinda goes without saying.

 

[patriotfan]

Didn't TSN try pushing this same trade last year? I don't buy it.

babcock should shut his yep and just do what he knows coach and its losing its luster in my books, the leafs don't need that guy so whoever is trying to push that one just give it up already, that player is way past his due date, no need for him on the leafs lineup....

 

[Jared Dunn]

because our 4th line isn't good enough

It really is when healthy though, and Ennis seems to be close
