Watson would be a nice gritty fit for Toronto,s bottom 6....
Of course they would get something good for that. A 1st + decent prospect has been the going rate for top 6F/top 4D rentals for a while now.If Lil and a late 1st are what you are willing to give up then don’t expect anything of value back.
That is a lot for leafshave Leaf and Ducks fans made any ground on a Rakell@50% deal?
I will offer 2021 1st+Amirov+Neimela+Engvall
Grant and Rakell at 50%Derek grant would be a great fit for the Leafs bottom 6 too.
Maybe a trade with the Ducks that get us both Rakell (50%) and Grant?
Grant and Rakell at 50%
prob starts at
1st + amirov or robertson + some sort of money coming back from toronto ... i assume engvall or something
Reilly Muzzin, the two LHD. He’s be third pairing
idk it's their best prospect trade piece outside of the one's they consider untouchable or really don't want to move (Robertson, Sandin, Amirov). Maybe also because of the emergence of Niemela as a solid RHD prospect & Holl Brodie excelling on right side. Not being sarcastic, just my thoughts on it.Why is everyone so anxious to trade away liljgren?
Are people not aware that Holl is almost 30? Up until a couple months ago no leafs fan even heard of niemela and now they've already anointed him their best d prospect cause he had a good world junior tournament. Liljgren is still their best D prospect and that includes Sandinidk it's their best prospect trade piece outside of the one's they consider untouchable or really don't want to move (Robertson, Sandin, Amirov).

That may be true but is he that much of an upgrade that it would be worth it to give up assets for him to fill a role we don't need filled?Ekholm > Muzzin
Yea it's pretty crazy that he's almost 30, a late bloomer that hopefully can continue to grow which is absurd given his age; some D peak late though, just look at Brent Burns and Mark Giordano. Liljegren should still be considered their top RHD prospect and respectively hold more trade value. Topi Niemela has a full many years of ELC ahead of him & I personally have a hunch he will fill out and be very good; I've thought this since well before the world juniors. I'm hoping there is more market trade value in Liljegren but that Dubas personally likes Topi Niemela more and wants to hold on to what hopefully is a draft gem.Are people not aware that Holl is almost 30?

I was going to say expect the Pens to trade away picks/prospects for sure, but then I remembered JR is no longer GM and have no clue what Hextall will do.
I think management is likely anxious to bring a cup back to toronto.... so if the trade makes sense i can see them pulling the trigger.lilegren is very underrated - He’s played excellent in the AHL the last 2 seasons and should be in the NHL right now. I would be disappointed if we trade him even if we have a decent chance at the cup - unless it’s a good return
I could see the Sharks start selling some pieces. They suck now and with their best forward out for 2 weeks and no C depth, it’s only going to get worse.
Does trading with an American team at the deadline add more cap flexibility? Because the person has to quarantine I am assuming they would not be counted against the cap, right? Anyone want to clear this up.
This thread isn’t specifically about the Leafs
Well they don't really need to make anyajor roster changes this season, maybe just some minor tweeksI think management is likely anxious to bring a cup back to toronto.... so if the trade makes sense i can see them pulling the trigger.
But if you say Sandin Robertson Amirov Niemla and Liljegren are all untouchable... not exactly leaving a ton of stuff to trade with.
yup had to account for the HF leafs tax in trades lolThat is a lot for leafs
It really depends.... you can always improve your roster.... leafs arnt a perfect team. They should win Canadian division with ease but some of the other teams like Boston/Tampa etc will be toughWell they don't really need to make anyajor roster changes this season, maybe just some minor tweeks
