Proposal: Leafs - Pittsburgh

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Jamie Oleksiak



Connor Brown


Simple trade that benefits both teams. TOR needs RHDs and Oleksiak plays both sides. Pittsburgh could use an upgrade over guys like Wilson and Grant.

No takes?

 

[PensandCaps]

Pretty bad for TO

 

[Brock Radunske]

I like Oleksiak but hes a bottom-pairing dman. The Leafs need a top-4 rhd

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

I’d do something around Marincin for Oleksiak

Sure, if you add a 2nd.

Is it though? Jamie can easily log 18 minutes a night and Brown isn't exactly having his best season.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Who would give a 2nd for a bottom pairing D?

Oleksiak sucks.

Brown is a good player.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

He's worth a 3rd at the very least and since Marincin is a contract dump I expect to be compensated. If not, Oleksiak for a 3rd will do.

 

[Randy Randerson]

really doesn't fit Toronto's needs and the value seems to favour Pitts, I could see Brown being a nice fit there though.

Would Calen Addison be available for Brown?

Sure, if you add a 2nd.

Oleksiak isn't worth a 2nd on his own

If points are the be all end all....sure. But Brown does more on this team that stats don't show.

Pass on this one.

ah, there's the issue, no one is paying to dump an expiring $1.25M salary in a year where that team has zero cap constraint issues, especially for a serviceable player

I'd expect a bigger piece if we're trading Addison. Brown on his own isn't enough.

I think Brown is worth something like a 2nd/3rd on his own, Addison I think is still worth the pick that he was taken with but hasn't done anything to be worth more, but I'd have no issue adding to Brown for Addison if there was a value gap. Brown+4th or another forward prospect that's close to ready like an Engvall or Marchment?

when you're looking at Brown don't stop looking at hockeydb either, he's pacing for about 30pts while shooting about half his career % in very defensive usage and 4th line minutes. Normalize the shooting % to his career rate and he's getting to a 35pt pace in really unfavourable usage to score

I really like Bracco, but I don't think it would be smart to move Addison as we're already pretty thin on defense. I'd consider Bracco + Brown, but I'm not so sure other pens fans would.

Yeah im sure Marincin and his 800K salary that is off the books at the end of the season would put the Pens in a hole

 

[Randy Randerson]

I don't think Addison gets Bracco right now on his own based on what Bracco is doing, I don't see an argument for Addison being worth more than Bracco at the very least so I wouldn't do Brown+Bracco

RHD is the need for Toronto and I don't think the Pens have anything but Addison in Brown's value range

Check Bracco's stats this year.

 

[Canada4Gold]

No interest in Oleksiak, lots of interest in Addison as I had him ranked top 20 in last years draft and was really angry when we passed on him the pick before the Pens took him

 

[wej20]

Pens top 3 RWs are Kessel, Rust and Hornqvist so don't see room for Brown or Bracco. Don't see why Leafs would trade for Oleksiak, given this is the last year of Matthews and Marner's ELCs they should be targeting someone much better and more reliable.

I liked Bracco even before he started producing, so I kind of understand why you'd want to keep him.

Would you consider Bracco for Addison? Just asking it's not a move I would necessarily make.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Contrary to popular belief the Leafs D overall is not bad and we have plenty of capable defenders. What we don’t have is a trust worthy minute muncher to pair along side Rielly.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

I’d do something around Marincin for Oleksiak

I’d trade Marincin for a bag of pucks.

Thanks for all the help
