LeBrun: Leafs and Kings have discussed Marleau trade

[Ziggy Stardust]

I dont know if anyone posted up Bob Mackenzie's take from Overdrive, he said something along the lines of LA would be looking to send back someone with a lower cap hit, but with more term.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

You make 0 sense.

Just think about it, it's not rocket science.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Orrrr. They regroup and talk in a few weeks?
Like happens virtually every single time?

Keep dreaming

 

[Legion34]

Keep dreaming

Sure.....we will see soon enough.

 

[Space umpire]

Clueless. Seriously...

You do realize it cost Chicago Teravainen for Carolina to take 1yr (4 mill) of Bickell.

 

[Liferleafer]

You do realize it cost Chicago Teravainen for Carolina to take 1yr (4 mill) of Bickell.

I also realize Detroit moved Datsyuk for pretty much nothing.

 

[Space umpire]

There's nothing...and then there's laughable. I never said for nothing, you saying Sandin or a 1st was laughable.

Again, I will point out it cost Chicago Teravainen as sweetener to Carolina to take Bickell. I think a 1st or good prospect is more than fair.

 

[Pelle31]

It might still be better for the wife to be close to home with family?

I don’t know right or wrong. All I know is that about 2 weeks Ago. Shark fans who claim to know the wife were saying that the marleau want to go to LA.

2 weeks later. The kings and leafs are talking about a trade......

But marleau has no idea?

If the Kings trade for Marleau, they might as well hand Dubas GM of the year for 2019/20.

You're comparing apples and battleships. Datsyuk was never going to play or get paid by the team he was traded to and was used to get to the cap floor.
Marleau gets to pick his next destination and with a few milestones on the near horizon isn't hanging them up.
Find me something relevant.

Again i will point out the Datsyuk trade.

 

[Space umpire]

Again i will point out the Datsyuk trade.

And again you are not on point. Datsyuk never got any money and was used by a cap floor team. You don't have a point.

 

[Legion34]

That’s not what happened exactly.

It was a 2 and 3 for turbo and bickell.

When turbo had like 14 goals and 30 pts.

It’s more like marleau and brown for 2 and 3

 

[93gilmour93]

Well according to Kypreos in the 2nd intermission we can add Arizona and Colorado to the mix for Marleau

 

[Mosby]

Could see Arizona taking Marleau if he came with Kapanen. Then retaining and flipping him to SJ.

 

[Liferleafer]

And again you are not on point. Datsyuk never got any money and was used by a cap floor team. You don't have a point.

Cool. Guess we shall see.

Lebrun vs Helene

Helene has better ties with the Kings than Labrun does for sure.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Again, I will point out it cost Chicago Teravainen as sweetener to Carolina to take Bickell. I think a 1st or good prospect is more than fair.

Yes, Chicago was a good trade at the time and besides you are trying revise history Teuvo Teravainen trade a win-win for Chicago and Carolina

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Very different story.

Datsyuk was a $7.5M cap hit which cost nothing in real money.

 

[Liferleafer]

You may

Marleau has now agreed to waive...things are getting interesting.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

datsyuks contract was an asset for arizona.

 

[Eggtimer]

Cool. Guess we shall see.

Actually Datsyuk situation is completely different scenario / situation / and should never be remotely close to being used as a comparable situation here.

 

[Eggtimer]

And why the heck would any team bail out the Leafs by taking Marleau . I will be very choked if it happens .
Would be like when Montreal took Gomez form the Rangers and saved them from cap hell. Made no sense and was a get out of jail free card for NYR.

Again...i am not saying the Leafs movd Marleau for free. But they can turn this into cap savings and get a piece they need while helping another team.

To Colorado
Marleau+Kadr

To Toronto
Erik Johnson

Leafs gain 4.75 in cap...Afs get a 2C they need while having the cap to take Marleau.

Marleau is an actual player. He will be getting 1.25-2.75 next year. He just isn’t a 6.25 player or a star like Babcock thinks
