Trades and Free Agency - 2022-23 Season Edition

[Americanadian]

So according to you Samsonov has underperformed his contract and Kerfoot is worth $7 million?

This is strictly based off EvolvingHockey GAR, just like the Athletic strictly uses GVSA. As far as Samsonov - I have goalie GAR and skater GAR in the same pool. If he was ranked against only goalies he would show significantly higher.

The only reason I put this together is because the Athletic's model is so flawed given they calculate negative values into the sum, this is just an adjusted version where all contracts are between 750k and 16.5M. I use GAR because GSVA isn't downloadable.

I doubt very much that this Chychrun stuff is legit, but I’d love to get him. Just don’t see him as Dubas’ number one trade target.

I think he would be more focused on a solid top six forward. So I’m calling bs on all this buzz about Chychrun.

The asking price for him is likely so high most steaks stay away, including the Leafs

That’s what I don’t get, Chychun is injured and haven’t play a minute. What makes the Yotes MGT think teams will be lining up for him?

Just for fun the year of the 2014 draft on my personal draft board I had Dylan Larkin going to my Leafs instead of Willy Nylander.

Larkin would already be a Leaf if I was drafting. Look how close their career points are?

 

[stickty111]

I know it means nothing, but since we need something to talk about, and want some entertainment, Chychrun has removed Arizona from his bio and started following Leafs players.

Larkin also played close to 60 games more.
Mess, you are better than that.

I remember during the broadcast on TSN they said if Nylander wasn't available Larkin would have been their next choice, because they liked him just as much.

Nylander has amassed his point totals (one more than Larkin) in sixty games less.

 

[Brobust]

I'm all in on the Dylan Larkin conspiracy.

The most unappreciated player in the NHL right now.

Nylander is in a team situation that is much more suited to putting up points - being the 3rd or 4th best offensive player on a PP for most of his career.

Larkin has led Detroit forwards in scoring every single year since 2018, often by large margins.

 

[Americanadian]

Since I am living in Michigan I feel compelled to chime in on Larkin. I see no way he leaves Detroit. He is beloved here more than any Leaf is beloved in Toronto. He is probably the most popular Detroit athlete right now. Yzerman is pressing him just like he did to Stamkos but at the end of the day I just don’t see him leaving.

 

[crump]

Larkin’s price tag out of reach. Just the hype alone has Dubas over a barrel in this one. Doubt he leaves Detroit. Local guy, Captain, I just don’t see it even if we could afford him.

Chychrun social media hubbub aside, I would target him. Probably costs a 1st, Sandin and/or a prospect. He has 2 years left on his contract after this year, but a M-NTC kicks in after this year. He had the size, offense we need for the playoffs. As long as we keep Liljegren, I think we can afford losing Sandin with Topi coming up in a year or so and Timmins’ play also deepens or D core to pull from.

Chychrun has been back from injury for a while now

Ya never know, he might get giddy at the thought of playing with the likes of AM, MM, WN, JT and Rielly and possibly go on a run with one of the top teams instead of treading water with an up and coming team for 2 or 3 more years before they are competitive.

I read an article about how Dubas could make a “cheeky” move, by trading for Nyquist. Not sure if I’m allowed to attach the link to the article, so I won’t.

It basically says that by trading for him and then putting him on LTIR after one day, it would open up a lot more cap space to make moves at the deadline.

I apologize if this has already been discussed.
