Value of: Make a trade with 3 elite teams from the Atlantic (warning post 22)

[ottomaddox]

Make a trade with your favorite team with these elite teams that MAKES SENSE FOR BOTH SIDES. It can be 1 for 1, taking on a bad contract (TOR), flipping 7th rounders (TBL), whatever you deem necessary to not only make your team better but the other one too. If it's a rebuilding/retooling side they obviously want something for the future. ALL 3 WANT A CUP, so veterans and utility players are welcome. TOR and TBL with careful cap considerations.

So not getting out if the first round in over a decade now constitutes an elite team?

I think a deal around Kadri and EJ from Colorado really would make sense but I dont think EJ ever agrees to waive for Toronto.

Unless Marleau was going with Kadri...the Leafs don't do that anyways.

Toronto will eventually break through. They still have the foundation of a good team: forward depth, 1C/2C, starting goalie, a #1 D. Tampa are an excellent team, but not so successful when it comes to the playoffs. Boston are the team to beat in the playoffs and the regular season. They are very competative most years. You cannot say that the 3 teams I chose are chumps.

I see one elite team here.

Yea if Marleau leaves the Leafs don't have a single forward over 29 years old and only 4 that are 25 or older (Tavares, Kadri, Hyman, Brown). This is still an extremely young team and their window is just starting to open.

Yeah, a SCF appearance and 3 ECF appearances since 2015 defineltey isn't successful in the playoffs, not to mention beating your "team to beat" in the playoffs last year in 5 games.

 

[Baksfamous112]

I only see two elite team here.

 

[Liferleafer]

Not sure what the arguement is here...right now it's:
Tampa
Boston
Toronto

Things will probably change in the next few years, but as a Leafs fan, we still got work to do.

 

[sansabri]

Like Habs fans know what good teams look like....

2 parades in my lifetime would say yes.

 

[CreeksideStrangler]

fail thread.

 

[ottomaddox]

There are no proposals here only people arguing who is elite in the Atlantic.

TBL, BOS, and TOR: are there any better teams than these three?! I really don't think so.

__________

I need some freaking trade proposals now. K thanks.

Sorry should have specified this season not so successful.

Jesus. I still put them in the elite list! What do you want?

Ottawa
Backes + 2020 1st


Boston
Smith

Boston saves $2.75 million in cap per year. Smith can play C or W, great on the PK and shut down line. Boston gets a younger physical player.

As a neutral party this actually seems pretty decent. Maybe Boston adds something else but the base is there. Both have 2 years left, Backes has 2.8 million more against the cap, Sens have the space and want futures.

 

[Dog]

Kadri to Colorado for 16th pick+ 2nd rounder. Leafs trade 47th+53rd pick+Brown to Carolina for 36th+37th pick. Leafs lose Kadri+Brown+own 2nd rounder for 16th oa+36th+37th pick. Leafs then trade 36th+37th+Zaitsev to Ducks for 29th pick. Trade 16th+29th to Philly for 11th +41rd picks. Leafs gain 11 million+ in cap space+ 11th+41rd pick. They can sign Marner+Johnsson+Kapanen

 

[Liferleafer]

Kadri to Colorado for 16th pick+ 2nd rounder.

Looking for the top 4 D.....no? Pass. Although that's good value.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

To Anaheim - Patrick Marleau, 2020 2nd

To Toronto - RW Patrick Eaves (LTIR), F Devin Shore (buyout)

Shore's buyout cost is quite minimal due to his age, just 400k this year and next. The Leafs save Marleau's hit minus 400k in cap space, and give up only a 2nd to do so because the Ducks also save about half that amount in real dollars.


To Boston - RW Corey Perry

To Anaheim - RW David Backes

To be honest I have no idea whether either player would waive their NMC (Perry to the East makes some sense), nor whether Boston would have any interest in Perry. But anyway, the idea here is that the Ducks get the cheaper contract and player more suited for a checking type role, and Boston takes on the extra cap in hope of Perry significantly out producing Backes.

To Tampa Bay - LW Jack Kopacka

To Anaheim - C Mitchell Stephens

Not seeing anything major here so just went with a prospect swap. I'm unsure about the Bolts side but I know the Ducks are a lot more jammed up on the wings right now than down the middle.

 

[phlocky]

I see one elite team here.

I see 2 elite teams and 1 with all the talent and hype in the world who just have to prove it (and let's not forget that they faced the east champs in the first round the past 2 years, give them at least a little credit).

 

[Liferleafer]

If only we could have the deep deep stock of RHD that the Leafs boast

Well at least you've got Weber locked up until the end of time.....

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Well at least you've got Weber locked up until the end of time.....

Yeah, wish we could have had the foresight to sign your best RHD to that 5 year deal.

 

[Hunter368]

Elite depends on how you define it, but the point of the thread is make trades with these three teams.....doesn’t matter if you think all three are elite or not........just made trade offers and stay on topic.

 

[BackhandToedrag]

Unless Marleau was going with Kadri...the Leafs don't do that anyways.

Ya why would the leafs want a guy that would instantly be a top pair guy for them and the best RHD they've had in some time..... For anyone who's says he not top pair just remember that was Ron Hainsey's spot this season

 

[kilowatt]

Toffoli and Martinez at 50% would help any of these teams.

This isn't true the leafs played Boston the last two years they played Washington three years ago and Washington was the east and cup champs last season
