Speculation: Leafs trade predictions

[mikeyz]

Kadri Trade talk is Lol worthy. Dubas knows not to trade a player in his 20's whos value is low. He'll build his value back up again next year.

Until the Leafs play the Bruins in the 1st round and he gets suspended again.

I think you guys are confusing, hoping to be traded vs. likely to be traded.

Only one on that list is likely to be traded is Zaitsev / Marleau.

Everyone is pure fanboy speculation.

 

[JEI]

Depending on what the + is and what Trouba wants for an extension, that is the kind of deal I would be happy with. Trouba is a good player and would be a good fit. If we're trading Kadri, that's the kind of player that makes sense.

Liljegren and probably at least 7+ I would think.

Liljegren and probably at least 7+ I would think.

If the + is Liljegren I hope we stay way clear of that.

Depends if you think Trouba is a stud top-pair or not I guess. But I think that'll be the cost or similar.

I think you’re confusing normal discussion of possible trades and what were hoping to trade. Like you said Marleau and Zaitsev are the two players most fans want traded and there is already speculation and rumours about them being moved. So I’m not sure why you have your panties in a bunch.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Liljegren and probably at least 7+ I would think.

I have it as Kadri, Kapanen, SDA and our 2nd round pick for Trouba and Lowry right now.

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

They pretty much need to jettison Brown for the money he'll want.

 

[Tak7]

If we are going to be realistic, Nikita Zaitsev is the only one on that list is likely to be moved.

We all hope Marleau gets moved, but it looks so unlikely when you factor in his contract and desire to win.

Zaitsev on the other hand is drumming up some interest, is a RHD, and has cost certainty attached to him

What is 'fanboy speculation'?

Though most media reports suggest the thing he currently cares most about is geography- namely being closer to his family

Edit: typo

 

[Its not your fault]

I have it as Kadri, Kapanen, SDA and our 2nd round pick for Trouba and Lowry right now.

Rather it be Kapanen Lowry is intreaging for PK help and big body. I feel like you make this trade. Kapanen hurts but one we would loose to Seattle most likly. I think you negotiate for it to be a later round pick to be honest. SDA is fine. Helps that you keep Liljegren

 

[Skin Tape Session]

I have it as Kadri, Kapanen, SDA and our 2nd round pick for Trouba and Lowry right now.

Which I wouldn't do. I'm much more comfortable with a 1 for 1 on trouba. Kadri for a signed Trouba is fair

i really think you are overeating kadri or underrating trouba. Signed Trouba>>Kadri pretty easily, trouba is a top pair dman kadri at his absolute best is a 2C

 

[ShaneFalco]

There are only a select few untouchables on this team - Matthews and Tavares. Marner if signed.

Rielly? Andersen?

Rielly? Andersen?

For the right deal, no problem

An extended Trouba is worth more than Kadri. We would have to add. IMHO.

I think Dubas will pet offer sheets come in for Marner to either say: Hey look, no one else is offering $11M now lets get serious here.

Or if they do offer sheet him, that’s guaranteed in the 4x 1st rd pick range and I would take that to the bank.

Other than that Marleau and Zaitsev appear likely to be moved based on player requests.

I don’t see the team moving in a different direction from anyone else.

Dubas was the one that swung the Kessel trade so either Shanahan or Dubas himself specifically targeted Kappy and I cannot see how anyone would think he has disappointed.

Nylander is not getting dealt.

Kadri is a possibility because he has value now and I don’t think the team will want to spend cap dollars at 3C that it would take to keep Kadri, sorta exactly how Pittsburgh traded Jordan Staal because they had Crosby/Malkin. That said the return needs to be good and I’m not sure other teams will try that hard to get him.

Brown is reasonably costed and Johnson is not going to break the bank either.

So outside of Marner, Marleau, Zaitsev, and Kadri I would be really surprised to see anyone else dealt unless it’s a package for a major deal.

With that said, Matthews, Tavares and Marner are all available for Mcdavid, no?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Until the Leafs play the Bruins in the 1st round and he gets suspended again.

Now, he going to get suspended every time?

 

[mikeyz]

Now, he going to get suspended every time?

I can almost guarantee you that he will. Especially if they play Boston.

That team plays on the edge and they know how to get under his skin.

They lay the trap and he falls into it every single time!!!

Brown can be easily replaced and needs to be taken away from Babcock
