GDT: Trade Deadline!

[thewave]

Oh so players are entitled to being able to pick their own numbers now when entering the league? lmao. Its all marketing man, take a lap.

Take a lap? It's not my problem you don't understand what you're talking about half the time. You just said let them carve their own identity while saying they can't choose their fav or preferred number. Counter intuitive.

They've been saying they're not going to yo-yo guys, I can't imagine it'll be Leivo up for a week, sent back down Soshnikov up, send him down, and call Loov up, etc, etc.

I expect the 4 guys they use their regular callups on will be here for the remainder of the Leafs regular season.

Leivo, Leipsic, and Percy clearly they want to give these guys a shot, then Nylander is clearly coming up. Sparks is here already. Those 5 guys I figured might be their guys to give a look. Then they go Kapanen, Hyman, and Soshnikov here today. I'm not expecting them to go up and down giving a bunch of different players a chance, and it's just not possible to have 8 guys up 4 on regular recall and 4 on emergency recall. So I don't imagine they'll have any room for all these other guys they called up today. Unless Lou uses his magic to loophole himself into it.

It also could be a cap thing. Only Horton is on LTIR right now, they could be taking on contract and want to get as close to the cap as possible before they LTIR JVR or Lupul or Robidas, or all 3.

So probably Leivo, Leipsic, Percy and Sparks are Leafs, not Marlies today depending on trades.

That would leave 4 regular call-ups for whoever they decide, and if they run into major issues emergency call-ups.

Nylander, Kapanen, Soshnikov and Hyman regular call-ups.

Could be a good chunk of x-Marlies to finish the season, again depending on trades.

Leafs could of course waive the rentals they are not able to trade and hope someone picks them off waivers.

I still don't understand why Florida would go out and acquire all these rentals to just trade away Pirri. One is going to be a long(er) term piece while the others likely leave in FA.

Not sure the coach is crazy about him. In and out of the line-up, and with the additions probably going to be in the pressbox.

 

[SprDaVE]

Percy is on the ice paired with Marincin.

Michael Traikos believes Leafs are going to trade Nazem today.

News flash: young players dont pick their numbers. Lou likes low numbers. Accept it and move on.

They know the deal. Bickel + Hartman for (plug)

Never mind

Michael Traikos believes Leafs are going to trade Nazem today.

I'd be very surprised if they did.

Traikos going for the long ball?

 

[doorman]

I don't know what's more painful, watching Sportsnet on deadline day or that Stroumboulopoulos is more concerned about his wardrope than the deadline, UGHHHHHH

 

[Daisy Jane]

Lou's reign so far:

Out
Taylor Beck*

* = Acquired by Lou and later flipped

Beck wasn't acquired by Lou, he wasn't hired yet.
Beck was traded for Devane July 12th, Lou was hired July 24th.

 

[Stand Witness]

I'd love to hear what that conversation would be about.

What with the hype for Hartman? he doesn't look that special tbh, woul rather go for Pokka as we need depth on RD.

I'm operating on the assumption that they want all these guys on the Marlies playoff team, so they would all be down at 3 ET and can only call 4 up. They just sent Leivo and Leipsic down so it's quite a reasonable thought. It would be a good experience for all of them.

If they indeed do that they can't have all 8/9 of these guys on the team at the same time, and I don't expect yo-yoing.

 

[I Believe]

Hope Kadri stays.

Would rather move Bozak if we have to trade a centre.

"Stamkos will look great next to Marner next year"

4 hrs to go.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Helps them this year and a 1st for futures?
