Post Deadline Transactions and Signings

[kevsh]

All that depth on the blue line but not in net doesn't seem to make much sense.
Not sure what Dubas can do to address it - is there even a decent goalie available? - but he's still got the assets to if he needs them.

 

[ShaneFalco]

They keep Holl and Keefe benches him

 

[Maple Leaf]

need a real goalie
Defender lame in Edmonton better in cal
Can they beat tampas yea boston no

 

[mapleleafs34]

Man would I LOVE to get Tom Wilson but it's highly unlikely

[BertCorbeau]

You don't rely on a guy who has played 7 games total to come into the playoffs. It would be so Dubas to load up everywhere else and leave the goalie situation

Matt Murray had 13 NHL games played prior to his first cup run with the Pens when he started 21 games

Binnington is another example of a goalie with a minimal track record in his rookie year (31 games) who ran with it in St Louis in their cup run

Having a youngster like Woll who has had an outstanding AHL season and fared well in the NHL as your #3 goalie is more than fine as an option.

edit - coincidentally enough all 3 of those goalies are 3rd round picks

Please hockey Gods, let the Leafs trade Justin Holl.

Please...

The Maple Leafs are proud to retire the number 3 for Justin Holl...

I don’t think upper management will allow Dubas to trade a 1st round pick in the next three drafts when his contract is expiring.

If moving multiple 1st, it’ll be this years, keep next years and go without one the following year.

dont see it...they are retooling and will likely want it. Id be so happy though if we could.

 

[2 Slick]

Send Kerfoot and Justin Holl to the NHL’s landfill known as Arizona for free and I’ll be happy.

 

[ToneDog]

2023 1st + 2024 1st + Robertson+ Holl+ Murray

Trenin + Saros

I'd make that deal. Poile does not. Dubas probably won't part with Holl or Murray.

[MoreMogilny]

I think we ultimately see

Bunting - Matthews - Marner/Nylander
Jarnkrok - Tavares - Marner/Nylander
Knies - O’Reilly - Kerfoot
Lafferty - Kampf - Acciari

So I don’t think Kampf is the 3C come playoffs

I like that more than Kampf at 3C, but I also am a skeptic of putting Knies into a playoff lineup. Zero NHL experience and not accustomed to the system, or playing this much hockey in a year. I love him as a prospect, but if he signs I will be legitimately surprised if he makes a meaningful impact in the lineup the way we might need him to

 

[BertCorbeau]

Asides from if the Leafs need another goalie, the question also is which "legitimate" goalie is available?

 

[BertCorbeau]

OMG Vancouver ... a chance to get out of that contract and you want a centre instead of futures... Wow

 

[MoreMogilny]

Vancouver is honestly being operated horribly. They refuse to go scorched earth and build up the right way. Their owner wants them to competitive every year instead of letting them truly reset. Kinda sad. Keep EP and Hughes, and sell off the rest.

 

[GoonieFace]

Good thing we have Samsonov and Woll still!

Not sure Woll can be counted on in the playoffs if you want to win

 

[Apex Predator]

OMG Vancouver ... a chance to get out of that contract and you want a centre instead of futures... Wow

Vancouver owner doesn’t want to rebuild. He keeps hurting that franchise but delaying the inevitable rebuild they need to go through.

 

[robertmac43]

Highly doubt we sit back today, Dubas will be making some kind of move today.

 

[ER89]

kerfoot is a centre

 

[kb]

Not sure Woll can be counted on in the playoffs if you want to win

He's arguably the best #3 in the league.

 

[SprDaVE]

Not sure Woll can be counted on in the playoffs if you want to win

You know how bad and unlucky it would be to be down to your #3 goaltender in the playoffs?

Not many teams that can say "Yeah... our 3rd string goaltender has played 200 NHL games and he'll give us quality #1 goaltending"

I don't why the standards for goaltender in Toronto are so much different than any other team. We need 8 NHL #1 goaltenders with 200 NHL games and they need to be really really good.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Would love a 2nd line LW to slot Jarnkrok down, have O'Reilly centering the 3rd line.
Holl is not getting traded guys, he's a Leaf for life.
