LeBrun: LeBrun and Jamie Noodles Maclennan (overdrive): Trades Comin'

[Rabid Ranger]

Jamie McLennan doesn't know his head from his ass.

I wonder what that makes the average HF poster? A hemorrhoid?

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

I could be wrong, but Leivo could be pried away.

Ha! Nice. I'll start the bidding with a half chewed piece of gum and coupon for a free car wash.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

In all seriousness though, what would you say his value is? 2nd and a B prospect?

Probably. Or like, an A- minus prospect. I mean, to me a B prospect is like Rasanen. Basically someone closer to NHL action than not.

 

[grapes55]

I wonder if Mikyehev is available he's a really good player and I'd hate to lose him but if they want a top 6 winger he has value

I doubt it, even though he's been insanely snakebitten offensively he's still relied on pretty heavily defensively and on the PK. If the Leafs go for a rental they probably won't give up anyone on the roster

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Click bait

If they made him available it wouldn't be for a rental

 

[Nylanderthal]

Sorry but Ekholm is a top pair defenseman on leafs. Period.
You think leafs defense is so good that he plays third pair? Really?? Who’s better than Ekholm on leafs defense?

Reilly Muzzin, the two LHD. He’s be third pairing

 

[MisterT]

Those wouldn't be guys the leafs are interested in. They would want a depth top 9. 3C or a 2LW with sandpaper

You mean like Hyman?

Leafs top 6 is set as there is only so many minutes to split among Matthews, Marner, Thornton, Nylander, Tavares and Hyman.

Eric Staal makes sense.

Agreed

 

[McJedi]

Stepan is now out with a shoulder injury.

Yeah. Just saw that. Looks major. Oh well.

 

[Knies iT]

Why is everyone so anxious to trade away liljgren?

It's the young Leaf fans who make 100 proposals per day including every player on the roster.

Realistically, Liljegren/Sandin/Robertson/Amirov are the cream of the crop Leafs prospects and won't be moved barring a massive acquisition. TOR is looking for one piece - either a 2nd line LW, or a 3rd line C, depending on where Kerfoot settles in the lineup (he's looked good on JT's wing again). You don't trade one of your best prospects for that kind of piece.

Since the back-half of Liljegren's 19 year old season, he's cemented himself in this team's future. Ask any knowledgeable Leaf fan who has watched the Marlies this season and they would say he's borderline untouchable. Amazing start to the year as the team's MVP again.

 

[ItWasJustified]

I wonder what CGY and TOR are willing to give up

Leafs will go after Sam Bennet. Not sure what they will give up though.

 

[Buzzman17]

If Lil and a late 1st are what you are willing to give up then don’t expect anything of value back.

What does two first round picks usually get for a rental?

 

[Mooserton]

I have some cream that will take care of this entire community.

 

[maplepred]

Reilly Muzzin, the two LHD. He’s be third pairing

Muzzin is definitely not better than Ekholm and Reilly is debatable.

 

[Sparky93]

Muzzin is definitely not better than Ekholm and Reilly is debatable.

No horses in the race but I'd say Muzzin is pretty comparable to Ekholm.

 

[cgc83]

I wish we could trade Noodles there to a sports radio in Lloyd Minster or something ... oh no worries nothing in return

Pretty much this. I don't think the Leafs are going big game hunting, and Liljegren is not going anywhere for anything short of that. Same with our 1st or any of our other top prospects.

I think the Leafs look for a rental 3C or 2LW and they aren't going to pay more than what VAN paid for Toffoli last year... Especially since we aren't getting Hall and I don't think the next tier (Palmieri, Iafallo, Staal, etc.) are worth more than Toffoli.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Taylor Hall. With retention.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Leafs need goalie depth, not wingers ffs.

Lol what? Campbell is a great back up and I'm not basing that off just tonight, and Hutch has been good as the backup to the backup too.

We need a top 6 left winger that can play consistently with Tavares and Nylander. Hyman should preferably be with Matthews and Marner while Thornton moves more into a depth role with PP minutes come playoff time.

 

[Critical13]

Honestly, I am not sure the Leafs will be buyers. I'd go after Danault or a similar forward, but otherwise, I don't see much that makes sense. We need our top prospect ELCs moving forward.

 

[trellaine201]

Columbus seems to be free falling. Torts fault lol

 

[MattyNew91]

Either way leafs don't need him.

 

[Martin Skoula]

If Lil and a late 1st are what you are willing to give up then don’t expect anything of value back.

That's significantly more valuable than what we gave up for 1.5 years of Muzzin. Is a #2/3 D worth less than a 2nd line winger or 3C now?

 

[10Ducky10]

I can see the Leafs trading for Hall.
