Trades and Free Agency - 2022/2023 Trade Deadline Edition

[Dragao6]

Lol apparently tonight's game will decide whether Flames will be buyers. They're interested in Edmunson according to insider trading during Sens 1st Intermission

Beat them, take tanev with you

Beat them, take tanev with you

Need to be able to ice a lineup of 12 defenders instead of 12 forwards.

 

[Dreakmur]

McCabe is absolutely an upgrade on both Holl and Sandin. As well as Benn, Mete, and Timmins

He's a bit better than Holl and Sandin, so we slightly upgraded our #5 defenseman.

 

[cyris]

The leafs must have another trade up their sleeves. Are they going to ride 9 dman and 12 forwards the rest of the season? Once Murray is activated how much cap space do they have?

They can call up another forward Saturday and they will have enough cap space for Knies or a Marlies call up with Murray back if there aren’t any other trades

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Beat them, take tanev with you

I'd rather take a forward (Backlund or Toffoli)

 

[Apex Predator]

They can call up another forward Saturday and they will have enough cap space for Knies or a Marlies call up with Murray back if there aren’t any other trades

Okay so they can run 13 forwards and 9 dman. So maybe they won’t make a trade then.

 

[hamzarocks]

Toffoli might be just what this team needs for its first cup since 1967

Robertson + 2023 Bruins 1st for TT@50%

no ur stuck at 12 ... roster limit is a thing

no trades are happening unless another player is shipped out engvall/sandin style

 

[Menzinger]

Goaltending is the last thing I would completely overpay for myself. Especially a 5'11" goaltender but hey... hard to argue, he's a top tier goaltender for sure.

I don't see it. The whole strategy of the Leafs this season is to run with a tandem. I don't see them moving on from that so late in the season, especially at the cost of multiple prime assets for the privilege of doing so.

Leafs are 2nd in the league in PP shots per 60 over the past 3 years.

Is that an actual fact? For real?

Roster limits are only a thing until 12:01 am on trade deadline day. The roster size then becomes unlimited but all players on the roster must fit under the cap.

Surely that strat is based on who was available to us on the goalie market. If we had a vezina level goalie like Saros here I don't think they'd mind running him out there for 60 games.

 

[ULF_55]

Based on last night, they downgraded everywhere.

Maybe one trade tomorrow to turn it around.

;-)

 

[Buds17]

Trade tonight after the game? Calgary time is 2 hrs. behind Toronto.

 

[Kiwi]

Based on last night were an AHL team, fortunately our season isn't based on 1 game

I still think we need a middle 6 forward, I think we could get one two with that 1st and whatever we get for one of those defenseman we have to many of

 

[Zookeeper]

Justin holl last game?

 

[kb]

I doubt the Leafs will make a Murray trade unless it's a clear cut upgrade, like bringing in a starter. If anything the Leafs would likely look to bring in an upgrade over Woll as the #3 for a mid to late pick,

Which would most likely mean moving 2 D out if they intend to keep 3 G on the roster, because that goalie can't be sent down and they need cap and a roster space on the 23 man for Knies.

 

[Menzinger]

Surely that strat is based on who was available to us on the goalie market. If we had a vezina level goalie like Saros here I don't think they'd mind running him out there for 60 games.

But it depends on if they think they can get similar results from their in-house guys without having to give up the boatload of assets to get that guy

Rosters expand after the deadline

Rosters expand after the deadline

Not quite. They actually expand at 12:01 am on the day of the deadline. So, just under 2 hours from now.

So they put Matthews on LTIR after the game and then just go crazy buying players. lol

I like it.

 

[Zookeeper]

Kämpf points in back to back games with marner… just saying

 

[1specter]

Justin holl last game?

I seriously f***ing hope so

 

[SprDaVE]

Justin holl last game?

I seriously f***ing hope so

Honestly at this point, I think it needs to happen. Not only for the team but for Holl and the fans. It's just time.

I don't think I can keep reading the same rhetoric about him for another run either.

 

[Tak7]

During his presser after the McCabe / Lafferty deal, Dubas, umprompted, mentioned the importance of maintaining the balance within the room without making too much change.

It was a strange comment at the time, but one that made more sense after we saw the Schenn / Engvall / Sandin / Gustaffson transactions.

That comment has kind of stuck in my mind since then - I wonder if it means he's done adding tomorrow. Still think we see him move out a Dman, but I wonder if they choose to go the prospect/pick return route rather than body for body.
