Murray/Campbell

Trade - Kerfoot & Holl if we need more cap space find a team willing too retain Murrays contract 50% for a draft pick or one of those two players.

No idea about this whole Meme but just found this random stuff....

 

[2 Slick]

He probably got tired of making the Stanley Cup finals so many years in a row, wants to struggle on another team for awhile. Palat to Buffalo?

 

[BertCorbeau]

He wants to get paid.

Tampa gets a bit weaker

 

[Eye Test]

No one thinks Muzzin is going to get moved?

He is my choice only due to foot speed slowing down. He’s exactly what we need but I think he’s just past the point we want to keep him.

Holl can stay as our 6/7 D no problem but I would rather have a bruiser.

[Americanadian]

They have 6.7M in cap space now assuming Barre-Boulet gets sent down.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Not a bad list.

Subban would be ok. Like Namestnikov and Larsson. Donato, Balcers, or Milano might be solid.

 

[Cor]

Hmmmm

 

[Burnie97]

Hmmmm

I don't know... trying to find some stuff. I know... seems random. Any idea?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Hmmmm

Don't overthink it

Then again we just found out Patty Kane is putting a trade request in tomorrow

 

[Dreakmur]

That’s a pretty horrific list there….

No, Muzzin does not get moved.

If its serious it could be Toronto cause it's a lot of Chris' focus.

But it's probably just meming

 

[Kurtz]

Papetti is pretty decent at predicting Leafs moves. I can see Subban for sure (with Holl traded).

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Fairly underwhelming list overall. Mostly guys who may upgrade our 4th line. Not really seeing anyone who makes a ton of sense for our middle 6 spots besides Heinen maybe for 2LW, and maybe a guy like Larsson for the shutdown line.

De Haan doesn't fit in any way. Subban is not exactly the right kind of guy to replace Holl but at least he is a natural RD and maybe we can make him work as a 3RD if he is willing to adapt to a more defensive style of play.

 

[Burnie97]

I don't think it's all bad. A couple names that could be decent. Strome wouldn't surprise me or Subban. Whether you like it or not unless they trade a couple guys they're looking at these types of signings to try and strike gold and get lucky. It's not going to be easy. Comrie could work out too.

 

[Kiwi]

That isn't the most exciting list I've ever seen, I'd like to open up a bit of room to shop in a higher tier if possible

No doubt... I'm in that boat too but I don't know if Dubas will actually do a move like that. I hope for a couple surprises but I don't have my hopes up.

 

[Fogelhund]

Flames are imploding, we should go after Tkachuk while we can. Nylander plus Kerfoot

How exactly do you think we sign Tkachuk to an ~ $11 mil contract?

Me either but I'd like someone on the 3rd/4th line that can score a goal if we're running the Kampf shutdown line again

It’s not about getting expensive guys. We need the right kinds of guys and those guys are mostly exactly what we shouldn’t be adding.

Yes cause Subban has always been a team first not PK first kind of guy lol

I think that's all dependent on if they move Kerfoot or Holl (which I don't think they do). More cap space would be better but I don't think it's in the cards.

As I mentioned earlier they're probably just going bargain bin shopping and running it back with Holl and Kerfoot. They'll try to put the most money towards another goalie. In doing so part of the rationale is probably to get Robertson into the line up full time next year and also ensure Knies will get a chance at a spot too.

Not that I agree with it, but it is what it is. Also the mid-tier UFA market is going crazy (Nuke and Rakell's deals). So even lower end wingers like Vatrano are poised to get term and good AAV's. Tough to round out depth with that.
