Could be, but Klingberg didn't end up playing in Sweden and they could have traded for Zadorov and left him in North America to settle his affairs in Calgary...

He didn’t play bc he was injured and if they traded for Zadorov for Klingberg plus and lost both games bc of using Benoit and Legesson, it will look stupid.

Almost every team in the league is up against the cap, it doesn’t mean you can’t make roster moves or trades for a variety of reasons.
I don’t understand why people even pay attention to the cap, it’s misleading
TJ Brodie is not the guy you trade if you are bringing in Zadorov, with Klingberg on LTIR you don't need to send out money.
I don't think Treveling will give up a first. He needs capital for TD.
I'm hearing Klingberg was injured when he signed?

yes for sure trading actual leafs #2 D for a McCabe 2.0 will make leafs so much better...
Zadorov is not an upgrade over McCabe and will just bringing the same thing than McCabe already doing in this roster.

Agreed. If you are adding to the D, you need a bonafide number 2 (not the bathroom kind). Problem is, they usually are not available through free agency and trade capital is high.

Zad is NOT worth a 1st or 2nd round pick. He is a bottom pairing D man. If Calgary wants a 3rd or 4th rounder for this guy who publicly wants out, then sure. If not dont go anywhere near him.
The Leafs need a real legit top 4 D man.
No way this deal is done. If Tre trades a 1st or any good prospect for this guy he should be fired.

trade capital could be high but uf leafs want to have a real shot for a stanley cup and if spend high capitam its the only way, they still should look that way

What they need is a solid stay at home defenceman to play with Rielly like a Schenn. Probably should have targetted Connor Murphy instead of McCabe last year

rielly dont need anyone to babysit hjm.... Schenn was not a solid stay a home D. he was a physical D 6th dman. He didn't became miraculously a top D because rielly made him look great....
-you can keep rielly with brodie, it will be fine
-you can send Mccabe with him will be fine
-can send liljegren with rielly, will be fine
-can send giordano with rielly and wilk be fine..
dont dont need to trade to get a rielly partner they need a d who can drive his own pair, helping rielly by reducing his ice time and keep him fresh
First off, wild speculation on what was offered and for whom. Zadorov becomes an in the meantime move to help the Blueline. Gio is 40. Brodie needs to go down the line up. The search for a number 2 dman could take a while. I'd offer a 3rd and if they said no, it's over. If Brad offered a first this deal would be done yest. I bet he is after a bigger fish.

Calgary is two points out of a playoff spot with 2 games in hand. I don’t seem them in a rush to make them team worse right now.

maybe toronto will not have any option as #2 until next summer, its a possibility.

Getting Zadorov would be a lateral move at best. Not an upgrade at all
He boosts depth,its worth a 3rd.
They don't want that to happen but they can't get blackmailed either.

Why would Calgary trade him for only a third round pick?
Jimmy Firecracker
Fire Sheldon.
Have come to the conclusion that I don’t want Zadorov unless Tanev is on his way as well. Can’t just have the big and violent borderline #4 guy. Need someone to take minutes away from Brodie and Zadorov won’t do that.
Ideally Tanev would knock down Brodie’s minutes and Zadorov would knock Gio out of the lineup entirely when Liljegren is healthy.

Why would anyone pay more for a 3rd pairing who will walk away? What was the cost of Schenn?
Gio is playing great right now... so is McCabe... it is weird that people want to spend a lot of assets for a player that is barely better (if better at all).
Zadorov is so overrated currently.
Jimmy Firecracker
Fire Sheldon.
I do not trust Gio to maintain his current play for another 63 plus how ever many playoff games. He didn’t last year and there’s zero reason to believe this year will be different given he’s another year older and Keefe is using him just as much.
Yeah but do they believe Edmonton is gonna stay in the gutter?
If we're being realistic - Edmonton probably eventually heats up and passes Calgary. They're 10+ points behind the top-3 of the division.
I am sure the reason Treliving signed Reaves was to attract other players who liked his room music he is famous for.
He just went to the Canucks for a 3rd and a 5th round pick... I'd have happily paid that.
