Speculation: Trade & Proposal Thread, Deadline Approaches - COMMON TRADES

[SeaOfBlue]

Caps have just placed Brooks Laich on waivers.

I could see a deal around Cowen for him.

Laich buyout goes:
16-17: 1.83
17-18: 1.33

Vs.

Cowen buyout goes:
16-17: cap relief of 650K (for the Capitals. We wouldn't qualify to use this cap relief).
17-18: 750K

We'd throw in Grabner or Winnik to fill the PK role that Laich currently fills for the Caps.

We'd buyout Laich. Caps would buyout Cowen.

Ben Smith makes more sense to replace Laich.


Brooks Laich
Assets


Jared Cowen
Ben Smith

I'm down.

Arcobello + Stalock for Bickell + Assets next?

Laich may not be worth buying out though. He has some leadership qualities we could use.

 

[p.l.f.]

Arco is worth something

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Been mostly bargain-hunting so far... would be good to see some other big names moved.

Definitely.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Arco is worth something

a chocolate covered pretzel?

 

[Mad Brills*]

Shane prince is available..............

 

[crump]

This is true.
Lou says he wants to get a better look at the minor league goalies. You're not going to do that with them sitting on the bench, so either Bernier gets traded or he is going to be pretty frothy at the end of the bench taking notes.

what are the assets? whats the benefit of helping a cap team to take on brooks laich (im guessing you think we'd get a pick?

 

[sxvnert]

Arco is worth something

Conditional 7th?

Condition: If he scores 50 goals next year in the NHL, Leafs receive a 7th in 2019

 

[p.l.f.]

you would rather have boyes?

Or a prospect of some value.

I'm thinking if it's not a first, it's got to be a higher end prospect.

With Wiercoch though.

common crumps, thinkkkk about it

#johnshannon= ack we have a TD show on Monday, we needs leafs in the mix


Reims was the better tender this year and had the better contract to move and the best we could manage was a 4th?



there is no tender market out there right now, none at all.

2 things that come into play. Berner's cap is higher, and Reimer's still a backup. Realistically there's a finite number of teams looking for backup help and we got him traded to one of them. Who's left? Arizona? for who? Chad Johnson? I bet he doesn't return anything either.

So Schultz comes to Pittsburgh as a $1.95M cap hit, $450,806 the rest of the way.

I'd give 'em Arcobello and a 2018 6th rounder or something.

I'd give them Arcobello and take Plotnikov + a pick. Plotnikov is absolute garbage.

Probably worth scraps. Plotnikov + or something.

 

[SprDaVE]

Arcobello is pretty garbage too.

Plotnikov is a little younger and a pending RFA. Could be a decent audition period for him to finish the year.

Either way, I'd be interested in giving a pending UFA for him.

plus I know what Shannon is

he is a sports tv producer at heart

he is just trying to create Toronto content for Monday.

4th rounder.

Arcobello is better than him. Maybe Plotnikov can slip in as a 4th liner next year, especially with Morin gone, but most likely just will not be qualified and he'll go back to Russia.

 

[Cor]

Plotnikov is a possession beast.

Flip him for Ben Smith. Put him in the top 6 after the deadline, and see if he can start finishing

Arcobello is barely any better and he's walking at the end of the year.

I'd rather try out a younger player that is a restricted free agent, and was said to have some decent upside when the signing was done. If it doesn't work out, you don't qualify him and let him go on his way.

We're not giving up a top asset here... we're talking about a player that probably won't be traded due to low value for a project.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

A 3rd for one of the worst dman in the league.. classic Rutherford.

 

[AustonMcDavid]

3rd for schultz? really? lol
