TSN: No negotiations between Leafs and Campbell/Mikyehev

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

just said on insider trading there have been no negotiations between the Leafs and Campbell or Mikyehev.

Mikyehev is a little surprising not because anyone expects him to be back we don't butfor them not to even make an offer to a guy that did score 21 goals for them last season is odd.

In Campbell's case I'm excited I am excited by the fact that it looks like they are going to have an entirely brand new goaltending tandem.

I say goaltending tandem because nobody thinks Mrazek will be back either he's gone it's just a matter of how.

It kind of sucks a little bit to lose Mikyehev but neither he nor Campbell are players that can't be replaced because both players are depth players and the thing about depth players is depth players no matter how good they are, are ALWAYS replaceable that is what them depth players, a depth player is a depth player because they can be replaced.

so whats torontos plan?

overpay a UFA who probably won’t live up to the contract theyll need to hand them?

same with their backup, whats the plan? its not like any of the 7 goalies that played for the marlies played well either

if toronto overpays on Husso lmao

 

[Empoleon8771]

Toronto finally got a reliable starter that wants to play in Toronto, only to let him go because he had a bad playoff round lmao

 

[Breakers]

If Mikheyev’s agent gets him the $5 mill per from their supposed ask


That guy will be a legend

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...I hear David Clarkson & Ben Scrivens are available...for the right price...

They’ll go for worse option than Campbell just because.

The options they’ll mention like Fleury, Blackwood, Kuemper are all worse

 

[Gilles Meloche]

Really hoping it will be …

Gibson/Källgren


But have a feeling it will be…

Blackwood/Murray

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Hopefully Campbell is interested in the museum’s and culture the New Jersey area has to offer.

depends on what you consider to be an overpay for Husso? he's not my first choice but he is a name that has been mentioned and he is intriguing to a point

Wonder if you are still exited when you see that new tandem play haha

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I can see moving on from Mikyehev as he’s probably asking too much. Surprised that they haven’t at least talked to Campbell though given the lack of better goalies available. Always better to at least have an open dialogue unless they already have a keeper lined up.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Really hoping it will be …

Gibson/Källgren


But have a feeling it will be…

Blackwood/Murray

I wouldn't be against that 2nd tandem I believe Blackwood has a lot of talent much like Husso not my first choice but he's 25, he has a couple of good seasons under his belt if he can get back to being the 918 goalie he showed he could be his first couple years the #1 spot is set for a decade

 

[Mrfenn92]

Don’t really understand not at least being in contact with Campbell. Mikheyev I understand he’s going to get a nice contract this offseason. Probably more then he’s worth.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Fluery and Kuemper are not worse, they are older than Campbell but they aren't worse

they have talked but no numbers have been exchanged so I'm not really sure what that means

At least in contact then. Contracts can come together relatively fast.

I mean he did suck during that round that is true but he also sucked from December-April.

They got through that because they had the #2 offense in the NHL but he was bad from 4 straight months.

he will get paid because November is a month that exists

Agreed. My first choice coming in would be Gibson but if we can’t add him I would really like to see us bring in Blackwood as a second option. Like you said he is only 25…

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

At least in contact then. Contracts can come together relatively fast.

I mean if you haven't had any meaningful talks at this point, and sense no numbers have been exchanged then it's safe to say they haven't chances are both are gone

Agreed. My first choice coming in would be Gibson but if we can’t add him I would really like to see us bring in Blackwood as a second option. Like you said he is only 25…

I want nothing to do with Kallgren has the backup he was awful but nobody noticed because the Leafs had the #2 offense in the NHL so they got through it.

Personally I want Holtby as the backup

Wonder if you are still exited when you see that new tandem play haha

depends on who the new tandem is.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Mik sounds like a Hughes guy, so I imagine the Habs go after him if they can.

 

[Ciao]

The Leafs probably aren't interested in bidding against themselves for Campbell.

If its true that the Leafs offered 2.8 and Campbell asked 7, then there's no use in even trying to close that gap.

If Campbell tests the market and comes back with a lower ask, then its time to talk.

Mikheyev can walk.

He's good, but not as good as his agent thinks he is.

Once Campbell signs with another team you can speak this way. I wouldn't count him out.

Especially Dubas' penchant for having the Soo Greyhound Fraternity around him. It could be that he plans on having him return, but is struggling to find a taker for Mrazek. Perhaps he want to run things back with Campbell and another goaltender.

Where did you read that Campbell wants 7 million?

Are you sure?

Tight to the Cap, I felt this situation with Campbell might occur. He simply hasn't had his payday yet and now is his turn. Maybe there was.an outside chance they could get a discount, but it's a tough ask.

I would have probably have traded Mik and Engvall at the deadline if an offer for some Gamers was available.

 

[Fatass]

I can see letting Makyev walk, but losing the best goalie the club has had in a long time just makes no sense. The east top teams are all seemingly going backwards and the Leafs have a great opportunity to step up into the top spots. But losing Campbell won’t help.
