Friedman: Leafs Report Podcast with Jame Mirtle: trade target discussion

[GaryPoppins]

Mod:


On the Leafs report podcast with James Mirtle Jonas Seigel, Elliot Friedman mentioned that 2 players the Leafs do want are Carson Socuy and Scott Laughton.

In the case of Soucy it doesn't make sense because Seattle is in a playoff spot.

But Scott Laughton would be a great addition although Friedman does admit he's not sure the flyers would move him.

As far as a bottom 6 forward goes Scott Laughton to me would move the needle.

Unlike Sam Lafferty I would be excited to get Scott Laughton I'd think he'd make a big difference to the bottom 6.

Although as always I would prefer a top 6 forward but If they go bottom 6 by all means bring on Scott Laughton

Remember that time there was a Leafs board? Good times.

You forgot one additional thing . Leafs think their prospects are about 10x better than they actually are .Example - Knies is the next Cam Neely.

Who in the organization said that? Dubas?

I'm calling nonsense. It's more likely some random poster said he'd be good and it triggered you.

The lengths some will go to say something negative about the Leafs...funny story.

 

[Colezuki]

He doesn't sound that way when he actually speaks.

Well I’m happy to report his actions don’t dictate that

The Florida model, interesting.

At least florida picked a direction, or does a first round exit sound great to you because as a habs fan I’m looking forward to my mid May tradition of teasing my friends

 

[Zur En Arrh]

Leafs in on everyone, also leafs. don't want to give up 1st or any prospect of value

Yes because what we need doesn't cost that...fail..

meanwhile EVERY day posters want Knies for trash desperatly... Hf bwahahahah...

Every team has both a Knies and trash.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Every team has both a Knies and trash.

That is true. Ideally they would like to keep their Knies and get rid of their trash.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Think every contender could use him

I think minnesota doesnt need his type of a fool. They already have so many warrior types. But every other teams wants that man, hard. The leafs are the richest, so they do what they want. With the most power. Hockeys mecca baby. They get whom they want

Ok

 

[dirtydanglez]

Yup. Get swept then outside looking in the following year. Fantastic strategy.

id rather that then never make it out of the 1st.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Nah , it’s just that he is the only Leaf prospect that is good.

Let me guess, you also think Toronto plays run and gun?

id rather that then never make it out of the 1st.

Why? Same spot with less chance to get further.

This reminds me of people lauding Bush for being “decisive “. Didn’t matter if the decision was stupid or failed to account for new information…..it was more important to some just any old decision, be damned that cliff up ahead.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Can we just have threads from now on about who the Leafs don't want? Would be much simpler and cleaner front page.

I think the point is to tempt you to click on it, aka click bait. if people would just ignore it they would happen alot less. but no no no anything leafs has to be clicked on and met with some stupid comment(not just you) which in the end provides everyone with MORE stuff like this because your going to click on it anyways,

it's also getting close to TDL so rumors are going around like crazy because everyone knows Dubas is going to get someone

Nah , it’s just that he is the only Leaf prospect that is good.

take a deep look, we have quite a decent prospect pool given that we have traded alot of picks over the years.
scouting doesnt seem to be an issue anymore but we will see how they all develop

It’s apples and oranges. We’re talking about running a sports franchise.

 

[Marner4Life]

Unfortunately that's just a side effect of guys having to do multiple radio/podcast interviews sometimes daily. Some of the TSN guys will rotate through their Edmonton/Montreal/Ottawa/Toronto each week. They'll have the same informal conversations. But now a radio interview from Montreal is now readily available to all of us unlike the old days.

It wouldn't be unheard of it Seattle dealt Soucy while also maybe being a buyer. It had been previously mentioned that Seattle might be looking for a depth center who was good at faceoffs since all of theirs are under 50%.

They recently acquired Jaycob Megna and he profiles similarly to Soucy. Hypothetically they could trade Soucy for a pick, and then use that pick in a separate deal for a rental center? And if Seattle were targeting a higher salaried rental, clearing Soucy's 2.75 mil (while having his replacement at 762K) could help.

Depth center? Alex Kerfoot step right up!

King of the straw men here

 

[PromisedLand]

Mirtle is not a respectable analyst, journalist or for that matter even hockey fan

I’d disregard anything he had to say

i like to have hope. what's the point if your never going to go for it.

 

[cupcrazyman2]

Why do the Leafs always give up a 1st in any trade scenario on this board,regardless of the quality of player (s) going to the Leafs ? lol

This is much more about what Friedman had to say rather than anything that Mirtle and Siegel sad.

 

[TheScandal89]

We should just make a thread

Speculation: Leafs in on everyone

And just update the title with the latest name. I mean if theres a legit rumor like Chychrun down to 3 teams: TOR, ?????, ???? Then that's ok

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Kerfoot is better at wing
