Trades and Free Agency 2021 Part 2

[Menzinger]

Kerfoot staying with Tavares and Nylander, and we acquire a center instead of a winger?

Thats why I've been on about eric Staal.

He'd be great as 3c. Keeps kerfoot on the 2nd line

 

[dubplatepressure]

As much as I 'd like to trade Willie, that package is way too much.

I'd do that package for Forsberg and Fabrro though.

I said the exact same thing

 

[Leaffan1991]

Toronto
Nylander
Rielly
Andersen

Anaheim
Lindholm
Gibson
Rakell

we get our top 5 long term goalie, Lindholm better defensively than Rielly and Rakell a good top 6 forward.

 

[613Leafer]

Toronto
Nylander
Rielly
Andersen

Anaheim
Lindholm
Gibson
Rakell

we get our top 5 long term goalie, Lindholm better defensively than Rielly and Rakell a good top 6 forward.

This is a video game trade, it would never happen. I can't think of the last time a team traded a top line winger, top pairing D, and starting goalie, for a top pairing D, franchise goalie, and top 6 forward.

NHL trades you see one player of that calibre on each side of a trade, with picks/prospects/depth players balancing things out.

I posted that a few pages back. Him or Brandon Sutter with retention would work.

 

[hamzarocks]

What are peoples thoughts on Victor Arvidsson?

Has been underwhelming in production past two years, but the preds offense has been poor with very few high end forwards

He has 4.25 left with 4 years. Would be a long term commitment but his caphit even outright is not that bad. I don't want to deal kerfoot now that he's playing strong which makes it hard to consider what would be a good deal.

Was thinking perhaps

Mikheyev + 2021st + Hallinder/Hirvonen for Arvidsson down to 3M. We take on 1.4M in cap space for the year, which I'm not sure if we can adjust (i'd be happy waiving vesey as well to make it fit)

Expansion draft wise we protect
34
91
15
88
Arvidsson
Engvall
Kefoot

Rielly
Muzzin
Brodie

and then let them choose between holl and Dermott. Lilijgren should be replacing holl as soon as next year as our 2RHD

 

[Mattavarner]

Toronto
Nylander
Rielly
Andersen

Anaheim
Lindholm
Gibson

Id do it easily, which means Anaheim wouldnt

I would be very upset if that happened. Those are not insignificant assets, I don't see why we would gamble on a player regaining his form for that

 

[SoftDumpNtheCorner88]

How's Forsberg in comparison to Nylander (contracts to keep in mind).?

 

[stickty111]

Going to say this again, lets not trade Willy. Complain about his effort level lacking at times, but he is an elite player in this league, and we need him for us to go far.

 

[LeafChief]

What's the cost to acquire Eric Staal at 50%? I like the idea of making Kerfoot that top 6 wing and having Staal centre the 3rd line.

 

[New Liskeard]

Going to say this again, lets not trade Willy. Complain about his effort level lacking at times, but he is an elite player in this league, and we need him for us to go far.

Leafs should be open to looking at trading anyone, if it meant the Leafs would be better and could win a cup. Elite players don't always win you cups.

 

[Dragao6]

What if it was forsberg + fabbro?

 

[Dreakmur]

It depends entirely on what somebody wants to pay to acquire him.

 

[jaric1862]

We literally already have Filip Forsberg in William Nylander...

 

[OVO16]

IF leafs looking for a C, Ryan Getzlaf would be perfect. Assuming he's willing to get traded of course

Just the type of player you need for the Playoffs. Both on and off the Ice.

 

[OVO16]

Thornton - Mathews - Marner
Hyman - Tavares - Nylander
Kerfoot - Getzlaf - Simmonds
Mikheyev - Engvall - Spezza
Vesey

Only thing with that is that you'd need then to retain half and likely someone else to retain another half to get him in.

Kind of like we did for Vegas last year with Lehner.

Would be crazy to run Matthews/Tavares/Getzlaf down the middle.

Might as well go for E and J Staal too. There's no reason we can't run 11 6'3 Olympic caliber Cs + Marner.

 

[Schenn]

Am I crazy saying I want to add Getzlaf & Staal this offseason, but still retain both Thornton & Spezza?

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Am I crazy saying I want to add Getzlaf & Staal this offseason, but still retain both Thornton & Spezza?

Remember when Brian Burke said us signing Thornton was a terrible move because we already have the "same thing" in Spezza. Haha I think he'd snap his neck from double looking at the TV, if that happened.

 

[pspot]

they still need to be heavier upfront and more vocal leaders...whoever that is...and >50% on faceoffs if C

Jay Beagle?

Beagle, even at 50% retained is too expensive for our fourth line. Plus he has another year left and isn’t that good outside of faceoffs.
