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

[ToneDog]

The Glendening rumor may or not have any legs but if Leafs want to add grit up front, the players that should be worried are Par, Goat, Brown and AJ. Hyman is not on that list due to his playoff performance last year .

 

[sxvnert]

Trade Goat + Timashov for Glendening @ 50% retained (900K)

Playoff fourth line: Moore-Glendening-Brown
Then trade Brown in the summer. Promote Marchment next season.

Gauthier is better than Glendening IMO.

 

[Amadeus]

Gauthier is better than Glendening IMO.

Don't agree. Glendening is a player capable of getting assignments to shut down the opposing player. I love Goat, and I think he should remain our 4th line C, but I think Glendening could provide solid depth on the wing.

Gauthier is 54% in the dot, which is good for 2nd on the roster. He's also made big strides and is going to be cheap to retain.

I don't mind a Glendening deal as long as Zaitsev is going the other way. Wonder if he can play on Goat's wing while taking face-offs on the right side and PK. Would prefer him to Lindholm or Brown in that limited role (flip the latter to clear cap and add futures).

Ummm, Gauthier is easily one of the worse players in the NHL. So no, he isn’t better than Glendening.

 

[meefer]

Dubas was Lou's right hand man for how many years and was here before Lou got here. It is not like he was hired externally.

I am not criticising Dubas for the signings. I simply mentioned it because poster was praising him for the signings of JT, Matty and Willie.

Sure Lou handed Dubas a grenade but as far as the D goes, Dubas said he as bullish on his D this summer. This after watching the Bruins dismantle the right side of our D in the playoffs. I give Dubas credit where credit is due but when it comes to the D, he was at an F until he acquired Muzzin.

Not to be overly critical, but what was Dubas supposed to say...we've a right side D that's as useful as a field of prairie pies?

nope, no cap space for a 2m 4th line c on this roster.

I see a blockbuster brewing with canes. Out AgM is allover scouting them. Chl top prospects plus 2 or 3 recent games. I feel pesce is too rich of a price yet Hamilton makes a 1.5mill more.

So

Leafs..Hamilton, B prospect, Ferland

Canes..Johnsson, 2020 2nd, Brown, Zaitsev

 

[hamzarocks]

Trades I would try and pull at the draft

1) Zaitsev@50% (2.25) to Canucks with the leafs getting a 2019 4th and 5th round pick.

2) Connor brown for 2019 2nd+2020 3rd(want 2 2nd's but prob get less than that).

3) Leafs 2020 1st(conditional on Faulk either re siging or the Leafs making the cup finals) + Engvall/Tymoshov for one yea rental Justin Faulk @ 4.

After Marleau has had his bonus Paid
4). [email protected] million to a contender like the sharks, preds, caps, pens etc with some space.

2019-2020 Line up

Johnsson(2.75) - Matthewss (11.634)- Nylander (6.96)
Hyman (2.5) - Tavares (11.00) - Marner (10.5)
Moore(0.775) - Kadri (4.50) - Kapanen (3.75)
Ennis (0.75) - Goat (~.850) - Bracco (0.925)

Muzzin (4.00) - Rielly (5.00)
Dermott (0.85) - Faulk (4.00)
Rosen (0.75) - Lilijgren (0.925)

Andersen (5.00)
Sparks (0.9)

Kessel 1.2 (2 more years including this)
Zaitsev 2.25 (5 more years including this, which sucks)
Marleau 2.00 (only this year)

Overall This comes to a cap of 83.77 million. We would be cap compliant if the cap is 84 million but if it were to be 83 then we would be a bit over. Could see Marner's deal be 500-700k less .

Above I had
-Marner at 7 years 10.5
Johnsson 4 years at 2.75
Kapanen at 6 years 3.75

Yeah I dont know why he is criticizing Dubas. He can't just say "our D is terrible, we need to upgrade". It would make him sound desperate to the other GM's and give away his position.
Even though he said he liked the defence, it doesn't mean he believed it.

Puljujärvi to Leafs ?

Horrible value for Carolina.

Sure he is going to spin it when asked but I go by the fact that he did nothing other than replace Polak with Oz going into the season.

Sometimes you have to wait for the opportunity for deals to happen rather than forcing them and overpaying. We were a desperate team in the summer and are not nearly as much now.

I think we are a desperate team (D wise) the closer we get to the TDL. Dubas was shrewd to make the Muzzin deal when he did. The D looks much better but our second pairing needs to be upgraded.

Oh I agree - the TDL and July 1st are days when GMs lose their jobs and sink their teams. We are in a much better position now with Muzzin. I do expect Dubas to make another move though and don't blame him at all for not making a desperation move this past summer.

Puljujärvi to Leafs ?

SO Jesse followed someone on Twitter to the Leafs? That's a bit of a stretch to say there is a trade forthcoming, and I don't see one that makes sense. The Leafs surely wouldn't give up a great deal at this stage for him, and the Oilers are best to hold on, and see if his game comes around. As a Leafs fan though, I'd love to trade for him... just wouldn't be willing to send much. Also, Toronto trading for him, would be a sure sign that we are moving out a Winger for a RHD at some point.

 

[aingefan]

Glendening could be connected to the Leafs on account of history with Babs, and his multi position profile. If more money goes out, I could see it as viable. If there’s some retention, even more so.
Like Zaitsev.

 

[BertCorbeau]

If the Leafs need to take Glendenning back in a deal that moves Zaitsev and improves what the Leafs get with Glendenning and/or lessens what the Leafs have to give up for the Wings to take Zaitsev, I'm all for it.

 

[rumman]

could it be possible that Leafs try to get Glendenning and Jensen for Zaitev and Brown, then turn around and try to get Pesce/Ferland from the Cane's for Kadri/Gardnier?

Leafs would seriously downgrade the 3rd line's offense, but would help solidify the D, and provide both affordable stability on the D (Pesce) while helping to recover cap room (Zaitev), and adding grit for the playoff run (Ferland)?

That is him directly following the Leafs account on Instagram, and the only other North American teams he follows are the Oilers and the Condors.

Just wishful thinking. I don't blame him.
