Don't see why Nashville is letting players go before Hynes.
Speculation: Leafs interested in Granlund
- Thread starter TheDoldrums
- Start date
I actually thought Canadians knew about hockey? Granlund is exactly the type of player Leafs need. Good at PK, good at passing and 12p in 15gp in Nashville. He is a hardworking defensive minded forward with really good hands. WTF do you need then?
He's EXACTLY what we need, and we could use a better 3rd line C
What would you give for granlund retained and jarnkrok/sissons? If Nashville is selling and giving our young prospects a chance I could see selling jarnkrok or sissons as well
I actually agree with this and hynes need to go as soon as possible for a new coach to come in and see if he can turn this team around before the deadline. You can’t wait until a week or 2 before deadline and expect results. Hynes has to go as soon as possible and if poile doesn’t see that he needs to go as well
I'm honestly not sure, in a normal year I think you could get a 1st, or a conditional pick that could become a 1st.
But this year I'm not sure remember Covid didn't hit until March last year we weren't dealing wit this at last year's deadline.
I'm not sure what his value is but I do know Engvall is likely part of this deal if it happens in order to make the money work.

In Trotz We Trust?
Tend to agree but I think we're better off punting this year and selling off the upcoming UFAs, like Granlund. Don't see the argument for trading guys like Ekholm, though.

Although in this particular case, if there is one player on the entire roster who seems to benefit from having Hynes as coach, it's gotta be Granlund.

How about top5 1st passer in the league with sub 7% shot. He does passing, controlled entries and got some selke votes for playing winger some years back. Checking is close to zero.

If you needed to make the money work, why don't you guys just waive Vesey and Engvall first yourselves, then? I don't think our team wants to spend ANY extra money. Likely we'll take a deal from somebody else before taking back $$$.

He is very good 2nd checker closing the exit, kind of meh in chasing around the goal as the 1st checker.
Nah, he was decent. Definitely didn't blow anyone away, but he didn't get a ton of playing time. Did enough to show he belonged, IMO. The injury timing was unfortunate.

Can you take Kerfoot out? Or trade him to somebody else for a 7th round pick or waive him? I don't think we want a cap dump back. Otherwise we just move those guys separately for picks. Even if we don't get a 1st.
Yeah, that was sort of my thinking - that you might be able to flip Kerfoot.
It's tough, because I realize he doesn't do much for you guys right now. But if we take Granlund (assuming we are looking to sign him beyond this season), Kerfoot is likely the odd man out. Maybe we play Kerfoot on the wing though, or even look at moving him down the road.
Would you move Granlund and Jarnkrok for a (late) 1st alone though?

End of the day, we'd have to gauge the market and see. If some other team will give us a 1st for Granlund, and some other team will give us a 2nd or something else we like for Jarnkrok, then of course we'd go with those instead. The odds of packaging them and getting the best deal seems slim to me. But who knows. If this year's market says we simply can't get a 1st for Granlund at all, and this package was the only way to do it... then yes, I'd ultimately package them for a 1st. As long as we don't get Kerfoot back. I don't think our team would want to take the chance of not being able to dispose of the contract.
not quite i don't like floaters like him so please leafs stay away as we have already to many floaters, need more hard nosed players like bennet maybe..
leafs need defence first and maybe a couple hard nosed forwards that can in the corneres and not be afraid to get their nose bloody not ice dancers...
yes a better 3rd line centre maybe bennet but not grundland hes too soft, leafs already have some of those....need sand paper
Floater?
You can say whatever you want about Granlund but floater? Go watch him play...Floater?
I have watched all his games in Nashville, and even when he was playing poorly "Floater" was never close to accurate for his game.
Granlund has more "sand paper" than the Leafs entire Top 6 outside of Hyman...watch him play instead of watching stats...
