Value of: Minnesota Embraces the Rebuild: Fire Sale

[HockeyDBspecialist]

What would the ask be from the Leafs for...

Foligno at 50%
Greenway

GReenway would be a perfect fit for the Leafs, the price you would not like though.

If it were more then Kapanen, I wouldn't bother to be honest. There is only so much you can bank on potential.

Kapanen for Greenway is more than fair, I think it has legit base, the only problem is the need for a player like Greenway is in demand

 

[AKL]

If it came down to Kapanen for Greenway straight up I’d be more inclined to keep Greenway.

 

[Qward]

Naw you guys will turn it around. I have faith in you.

Positive. Guy is a defensive gem.

Sorry. I meant trade value. I agree he’s a good player.

Risk would be if Kapanen just stays a consistent 15-20 goal guy, good pker etc for the Wild and Greenway never breaks out the way you'd hope.

Just don't play him at LW. He was bad at LW on the Marlies and no surprise he's bad at LW in the NHL too.

I like Greenway's potential, and his size and strength is going to be something when he fills out, but i don't see him going in a straight trade for Kapanen. MN would have to add.

Also, Foligno is more than worth his salary. If MN is retaining, it better be for something good coming in return.

Marner has been a terrific player, but that contract sure makes him less valuable.

 

[57special]

I would also do Zuccarello for Backes straight up. The former is a RW, though he is a LHS. This deal just might get BOS another Cup or two. MN's angle would be to get rid of salary in the long term, for a team that is going nowhere in the short term.
Backes is finished, but he, Parise and Suter can go out for beers after the game and talk about the good 'ol days when he used to crosscheck them in the back of the head after whistles.

Basically, anything that has the reek of Fenton attached to it can go, as far as i'm concerned. And that includes his son.

Kapanen for Donato?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Would love to have Spurgeon but I cant imagine him being too happy being dealt after signing the extension which hasn't even started yet. The cap would be an issue on the Leafs end as well. Any trade would have to include Ceci and Johnnson/Kapanen or Nylander. And that wouldn't even factor in value of the players involved.

I wouldn't be shocked with him being willing if team continues downward.

Spurgeon for Nylander.

Spurgeon for Nylander.

The age difference would make that a tough trade to make.

It's possible, sure. Did he/players/fans have expectations before he signed?

Expectations of not being a bottom 5 team? Definitely.

 

[57special]

If Leafs somehow snagged Spurgeon (unlikely), then it would probably make signing Barrie impossible. Not sure that's the direction they want to go in.

I saw them as a bubble team that was getting older. Would just be weird for him to change his tune so quickly. But things can and do change, obviously.

 

[ToDavid]

Spurgeon for Nylander.

About to turn 30 and on an expiring contract. No thanks.

He might not be back anyways. Hes going to command a lot of dough. Muzzin also needs to be signed and is more of a need IMO. He will also be much cheaper.

Dumba for a U27 top 6 C with term

RNH

He has an extension, which is what we're discussing. After this year it's a $7.5 million hit for 7 years.

Spurgeon+Fiala for Nylander+

Fiala doesn't exactly move the needle tbh.
