"People have asked about Knies, Cowan and Minten... Toronto has made it very clear that those three players… they are not interested in dealing."

How long has it been since the last Boone Jenner To The Leafs proposal, again?

As they should. Minten and Cowan are going to be ELC contributing guys in the next 2-3 years. Will allow Leafs to spend more of defenders [finally].

I’d give all 3 + every pick the leafs have the next 3 years for Jenner. With him the leafs win the cup

My point was more that "seriously, the guy just isn't available, literally everybody with an opinion on the matter says so, shut up and go away" type proclamations are frequently cheerfuly disregarded around here.

Of course they don't want to move them. No Team wants to move their top prospects but they'd include any of them if the right player was coming back.

I don't see your point. It's Friedman proclaiming this and not Treliving. If someone knocks his socks off for one of these players, he'd trade them.

I guess their 1st round pick this year will be in play to upgrade the defence.

They didn't win with O'Reilly last year. I don't consider Jenner much of an upgrade over O'Reilly at all. I don't think the Leafs have a real shot until 2026 with the Tavares cap off the roster. Need defenders.

 

[Viqsi]

I don't see your point.

Of course you wouldn't.

“We’re not looking to add anything of significance at the deadline so stop bothering us”

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

If I'm a GM, and another team says three players are off-limits with the line "Not interested in dealing... You dig?" the first thing I'm doing is calling them and offering a sixth-round pick for all three.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Minten shouldn't be lumped in with Knies and Cowan

One of the more overrated prospect out there

 

[leafsfan5]

I wouldn't move Cowan or Knies, but Minten can go

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Of course you wouldn't.

Please don't derail the topic. If you have an interest in discussing Boone Jenner then you should make a new thread.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

We shouldn't be tbh. Our 1st should be included in that list. This isn't the year/team to buy heavily with. On rentals anyways, if you can get a player with term that is obviously a different discussion.

 

[McDoused]

The stop asking for good players.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

So Toronto may be buyers but they're not willing to give anything of value in return?
May as well try to make a run with what you already have.

I wouldn't be shocked. They also have B-level prospects and Robertson.

 

[SEALBound]

Leafs: We want your top players.
Other Teams: Will you give us value back?
Leafs: No.
Other Teams: Lolz, whatevz, bye.
Leafs: Send a message to the media...

A 1st has value.

Minten in Knies and Cowen discussions

"Give us all your good players for all our bad players".

 

[Double Dion]

It's always funny when Leafs fans and pundits compare Minten to Cowan. Minten is not a prospect I'd have any interest in. He's Ben Jones. I would have a lot of interest in Cowan. Knies is already contributing and should not be moved.
