Proposal: Speculation: Rumours: Done Deals: Trade Deadline 2019 ...

[zeke]

To DET: Brown + Zaitsev
To TOR: Glendening + Jensen

oh yeah.

 

[ToneDog]

Glendening would be a waste of cap space. I doubt this is true.

Unless they are eating the Zaitsev contract and we take on Glendening with Jensen.

Glendening and Jensen for Z and Goat ?

 

[Kiwi]

The media is getting a bit desperate to try and find rumours involving the Leafs

Need to get those clicks in ahead of Feb 25th!

I hope so, he's an expensive 4th liner
I don't see how that works next season, we need less salary not more

 

[Kiwi]

Glendening and Jensen for Z and Goat ?

Why would Detroit do that?
I'd sack Holland if I owned the wings for that

 

[Menzinger]

Holland is one of the GMs who seems like he may have interest in a guy like Zaitsev....

Problem is Glenening’s underlying numbers are bad and, he’s not cheap for his role and he’s signed for 2 more seasons.

 

[The Podium]

Why else has Shanny been quiet? He's plotting and finding his replacement...

Duh?

Shanny is generally very quiet. He is not going to come out to support or be disgruntled about a move his appointed GM makes, solely for optics sake. How would that look to the rest of the league if Shanny had to come out and speak on behalf of the GM? It would just undermine Dubas' power and show the rest of the league he is on a leash, whether or not that is true.

I'm also sure Shanny had a say in the negotiations, if he vehemently disagreed with it I dont think it goes through.

 

[ShaneFalco]

And babcock would have him playing ridiculous minutes no doubt

This part of the thread started with Detroit might be interested in Z. If they are, they dump Glendening's contract and a UFA and also get a cheap #4C back. Afterall you can't teach size.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

So we invested in all of these assets to bring in Muzzin only to still have a terrible defense? Makes sense.

Hainsey and Zaitsev are pretty terrible.

Dermott is much better than Zaitsev and should be playing more, but now Hainsey is the guy that slides into our top 4. Our defense only gets worse on the bottom pair, and you can play them 10-12 minutes a night now.

 

[Leaf4Life]

And babcock would have him playing ridiculous minutes no doubt

He'd be on the ice when down a goal late in game 7 no doubt

If there keen on Zaitsev sign me up, GM'S make me shake my head sometimes

We'd hopefully be adding Jensen. He's a decent fit in the top4.

It's also possible that this trade would open up the cap space to make a deal with the Canes for one of their RHD.

 

[hector morrison]

Wait, why is Matthews leaving? Wait, Dubas sucks now? Why are we rebuilding in 3 years? What is ... wha ... oh boy

Don't listen to 'em...they're 'glass half empty 'idiots that will never be satisfied. Dubas...signs best free agent in years in JT...signs Willy signs Matthews, trades for Muzzin....just awful!

 

[Menzinger]

They COULD buyout Glendening and the remaining cap penalty would be fairly minimal

Luke Glendening Contract Buyout Details - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

So if they flipped him for Zaitsev and then bought him out they’d be saving around 3.7ish mil in space.

i like

 

[SprDaVE]

It's definitely weird. Only way this sort of works is if they retain 50% of the contract. 900k for Glendening next season wouldn't be the worst thing in the world...

...but he sucks, so it's rather pointless. He's signed for 2 more seasons after this. Major pass.

 

[kb]

I might possibly consider Brown + Holl for Glendening + Jensen

No offence but I could have signed JT and overpaid for the big 3. Dubas did make a good trade for Muzzin but it should not have taken him this long to start upgrading a porous D. Not to mention we are still soft as butter.

Why wouldn’t we just use him for the playoffs and move him in the summer? It’s not like he’s immovable.

and Muzzin was a good acquisition, but junior paid top dollar in that trade.

Lou did nothing to address the D besides re-signing Polak and handing out a crazy Zaitsev contract. Dubas just started
Not even going to get into the big 3 b/c other threads are a shit-show right now

 

[kb]

Yeah, but what’s in it for Detroit?

Several years of Zaitsev's stellar play?

You just know he will "figure it out" there.

 

[RLF]

If Detroit likes Zaitsev and Leafs like Jensen, maybe something can work out. I would rather give them a bit of an add then take on another roster player. Wings could even try and re-sign Jensen in the off-season as well.

Det
Zaitsev, Timashov
Tor
Jensen

I would rather move Brown in the off-season for pick/prospect or use him for another move if needed.

I thought that was a steal actually. A late 1st and Grundstrom. I see Durzi as an ECHL/AHL lifer.
