Admittedly pretty surprised that we acquired 2F and a G before a dman.

We didn't need a defenseman. We needed a goalie and we needed 1 forward, but picked up 1 and another potential upgrade.

I mostly just expect some depth moves and maybe a trade or two to leverage our leftover cap space once we get what we want.

Lettuce see if Dubas has something more in store for us today.
Happy with what he has done this weekend, we are a better team for it.

 

[MattySnipes]

C'mon Dubie.

One more D pls.

Thanks.

Going to bed, gonna wake up for TSN deadline show.

I dunno. If any of Rielly, Muzz, or Brodie go down I think we're really thin

Not really any thinner than if a top 4 defenseman on another contender goes down. Muzzin went down last year and both Dermott and Marincin were excellent.

Nobody on the market is going to upgrade our bottom pairing, so we are mostly looking at depth defensemen and we likely add one of those. Either way, it is not a 'need' that was prioritized over

Also, if Campbell goes down, Hutch is our starter. With Nylander out, Barabanov had to enter our lineup. We are not nearly as screwed with one of those three going down as having Hutch be our starter and I trust our current defensive depth (Sandin, Marincin, Liljegren, Rosen) more than our forwards (Robertson, Anderson, Petan, Barabanov, Brooks, Malgin).

 

[Schenn]

I have a sneaking suspicion that Dubas has a deal lined up for a little someone named McDavid today. We'll see.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Hoping for a depth defenseman that can be had for a 6th or a prospect. Otherwise I think we mostly stand pat.

I'd like Oleksiak. I doubt many d go for a 6th . I'd guess his value is around a 2nd but Savard went for a 1st plus so I'm probably wrong. For a 5th or 6th maybe you get Kulikov?

 

[Leaftors]

Let’s see what today brings!

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

bet its gonna be boring as f*** today.

hopefully the leafs land a depth D before the deadline.

 

[The Podium]

I’d want oleksiak today, think Dubas does too

Big defensive D that went the distance in the playoffs last year. Probably the only D on the market that may upgrade our bottom pairing.

Depending on the cap space after dropping Barabanov and Hutchinson and Dubas is done trading. He might recuperate a draft pick by picking up another teams player who need additional cap space.

 

[The Masters]

GET A DEFENCEMAN !!!

Would be a very Dubas like thing to do.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Depth d-man and we're set.

 

[Cor]

I am fairly certain Freddy will be LTIR’d the rest of the way.

Which means we have about 2.1-2.25Mish in LTIR room to use, and I’m fairly certain Dubas is going to use it. There’s multiple ways we could use it.

Perhaps we add a costly d-man (Oleksiak would fit).

Or, maybe we recoup some picks by helping to facilitate a trade for someone else. Perhaps instead of asking for a 4th we ask for a 5th and a 6th or two 6ths to go more quantity.

 

[al secord]

Can Laine play defense? Asking for a friend...

 

[AngryScotsman]

Need a physical dman, make it tough in front of our net for the playoff stretch.

 

[Cor]

Also, a couple random thoughts.

- I like how Rittich and Nash are both realistically attainable for next year. Rittich should fit into the ~2.5M or less area that we’ll have to find a backup/platoon goalie with Campbell. Nash could be a nice fit on Line 4 for us, and should come cheap.

- The moves so far have confirmed to me that the Leafs will look to move Kerfoot for a draft pick before the expansion draft. I don’t see Kerfoot or Engvall being dealt today, but Kerfoot is for sure a guy that will move pre expansion.

- Due to that, we might also try and move Dermott before expansion as well. Leave Seattle with depth pickings, and get assets for the two guys we can reasonably replace internally (Engvall and Sandin).

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Next two 1sts & two 2nds for a PP coach please

 

[WTFMAN99]

Depth D please and we good.

 

[meefer]

Don't underestimate Dubas, he may use the flexibility we have a F and try for something that surprises.

 

[Mentat]

A shutdown D would be syrup on the cake.
