I know it would almost never happen, but how close is this?
To Tor: Doughty
To LA: Kapanen, Dermott, Carrick, 2018 1st
1.) 03 Nov 2017 12:23:50
Kings laugh. 3 unproven players and a mid to low 1st for a James Norris franchise d man?
2.) 04 Nov 2017 19:49:50
Leafs are laughing too. Biased leaf fan.
01 Oct 2017 02:40:48
I think it's probably inevitable that the Leafs sign Polak. With the young dmen like Rosen, borgman, liljgren, and dermott all ready to be in the NHL next season Carrick should be moved.
Rychel will have to clear waivers and he won't, so he should be gone too.
To Leafs: 2nd 2018
To team: Carrick + Rychel
Is this fair value?
1.) 01 Oct 2017 05:16:21
Dear blockbuster _deals
Leafs roster is set now
Komarov Jvr Bozak are going it's just matter of time as
Kapanan Leivo and rychel are waiting. Nylander switches to second line centre by midway in season. He is so much better than Bozak .
Hyman Matthews nylander
Jvr Bozak marner
Marleau kadri komarov/ brown
Martin fehr/ Moore brown/ komarov
Defence
Reilly hainsey
Gardener zaitsev
Carrick Rosen
Polak
Goalies
Anderson McElhinney
Extra forwards
Leivo Rychel
Leafs lose nothing that matters
Kapanan starts first line marlies.

@Davidmackin
Trading Jvr, Bozak and Komorov makes the team infinitely worse. Unless you are implying free agency then I agree.
As much as I would like to see nylander move to center, he is stapled to Matthews' wing.
3.) 01 Oct 2017 20:03:55
I don't see the Leafs moving Nylander off of the Matthews line to center the 2nd line. There is too much chemistry between the two players. Unless they move Marner up to play alongside Matthews on the 1st line.
4.) 02 Oct 2017 00:41:33
Rychel isn’t an NHL player, if so he is a 13th forward. He was someone I thought had an opportunity to make an impression with a long stay at camp and he failed to gain any traction. There is no way he makes the Leafs this year.

To Leafs: Maatta
To Pens: Bozak, Carrick, Lindberg
Is that enough to get Maatta?
1.) 25 Jul 2017 11:17:13
Silly trade offer, however if pittsburgh throws a 1st rounder, then ya we can talk.
2.) 25 Jul 2017 11:39:34
Bozak should be enough to get Maatta, maybe a 2nd Rd pick thrown in or Carrick though I would prefer to throw in Marincin and keep Carrick.
3.) 25 Jul 2017 15:25:00
Bozak for Maatta should be enough to get this deal done. Money in, money out. However, if both teams like to swap more pieces (primarily minor league contracts or mid level draft picks, to offset any perceived values, then so be it) .
Maatta’s injury history would be a concern. Hunter has history with this player, so he might offer some insight on whether Maatta is worth acquiring.
4.) 25 Jul 2017 22:19:27
maatta is a left shot that we don't need.
04 Jul 2017 21:38:08
To TOR: Miller, 2nd
To VGK: Marchenko, Fehr, Komarov
Komarov > 2nd
Miller > Marchenko
Fehr is just not useful for the Leafs to keep at this point.
Leo and Fehr can be flipped at the deadline for more picks. Who knows maybe even Marchenko.
10 Jun 2017 01:39:05
Both Montreal and Carolina need more players who can put the puck in the net regularly
To Canes: Leivo
To Leafs: Mckweon/2nd
Or
To Habs: Leivo
To Leafs: Juulson/2nd
Do (How much) the Leafs need to add Thoughts?
1.) 10 Jun 2017 03:08:22
Leafs can probably trade straight up for Mckeown but Juulsen would cost the Leafs a lot more.
2.) 10 Jun 2017 03:17:37
Leivo isn't worth that much, no one is paying that much for a players who's been in the press's box every year so it's a gamble, leafs add not.
3.) 10 Jun 2017 03:18:26
Leivo definitely doesn't have the value of a good grade prospect and a 2nd rounder.
4.) 10 Jun 2017 15:25:07
@AM34, Goatson:
I think his slash "/ " means "or", not "and". If not; then yes that's too much for Leivo in either deal.
@ B. Deals
Leivo has put up some decent numbers. He just hasn't had the chance to show it in the NHL for any length of time. I assume the issue was his play without the puck.
Juulsen's numbers are good but not great, and only WHL numbers; no AHL, and the only reason he's of decent value is because he's RHD. He should have been chosen in the late 2nd or early third round.
We already have better farm Dmen in Neilsen, Dermott, Rosen (L&R), and probably Borgman.
I would argue straight up Leivo for Juulsen. The Leafs held on to Leivo when they could have just as easily put him on waivers, meaning there's some value they see in him and/ or some interest from other teams.
5.) 10 Jun 2017 16:26:48
Trading for Juulsen would be a great pick up. Not sure if that is enough though.

Just curious as to how people view these players values in terms of trades. What could each player fetch as a return.
Komorov
Leipsic
Leivo
Carrick
Marincin
Fehr
1.) 09 Jun 2017 19:13:15
Komarov: Great guy to have on the leafs, he is a great agitator, great penalty killer, great leader to the young guys, and plays a physical game which we need. Grundstrom is another up and coming version that will be greater, would be great on a line with Matthews in the future. Komarov can fetch a late late 1st to a early second rounder.
Leipsic is a great player, he can score and play physical, great agitator, and is fast. High level prospect but I do not expect a high spot for him in our lineup. Could fetch a pretty solid prospect or good pick.
Really do not like Levio at all, sure he is decent at forechecking but everything else he is bad. Probably worth a 3rd.
Carrick I really do like and can become a very good player top 4 material, but is not what we need for 3rd line pairing (trade him while he has value) . Someone like Sustr or Franson would be amazing on a 3rd line pairing. Worth a second-great add in player in a big trade.
Marincin is like Leivo, not good but liked because he is a bigger size. 6'4 and has a long wingspan but is so terrible I cry when he is on the ice.
Is a throw in player-3rd tound pick.
Fehr has another year at 2 mill which is not bad as he played pretyy good in his one game played. Could probably flip for a 4th.
2.) 11 Jun 2017 18:17:49
With all of the forward talent we have, what's a low spot now? The press box?
Grundy is a year away.
I agree Fehr could be flipped, before or after the Edraft. Vegas will not take him.
Marincin (or Marchenko) currently has some value as an expansion draft exposure requirement. If the Ducks manage to make a deal moving both Bieksa and Vatanen/ Manson they will have a serious need for an exposure requirement Dman. We will supply that for a price or hopefully he'll be a part of the deal.
Leipsic has great numbers. Take a look at his junior and AHL records, and compare them to Bracco's, Kapanen's, even Brown's; and he improved this year despite being injured.
This kid is NHL ready now. He needs to get more games at the NHL level like Hyman, Brown, Leivo, and Nylander got last year. He only got 6 games but put up 3 pts and was sent down. Please take a moment and compare the results of the others, no real difference except for Nylander. Making the playoffs in the last week this year blew that chance of the kids coming up this year at the end.
I think we are heading to the point where we can start to consider 4th line production. Eventually having a checking line that can not only kill penalties and check, but also score at a good clip.
16 May 2017 15:09:32
Not a trade proposal but is getting backstrom from the caps a possibility? He and Nylander have been unreal together.
It would probably be to significant a package going to Washington for Leafs to do but one can dream.
1.) 17 May 2017 00:00:54
Backstrom costs too much for the Leafs and he's 29; no thanks.

Wouldn't even do Bracco for Fabbro at this point.
17 Aug 2017 13:55:23
Hyman shouldn't be anywhere near Matthews. Two of Bracco, Kapanen and Marleau will be Matthews linemates the other on Nylander's left. (I know Bracco and Kapanen are both righties, so one will have to play left or be moved)
14 Aug 2017 04:00:53
At this point I doubt the Leafs are trading for a top pairing or top 4 rhd at all. Already have lots of prospects who will be ready if not this year then next.
06 Jul 2017 15:04:23
Certainly wouldn't put Faulk in the 'elite' category. And Carolina has a decent chance at being a wild card team this year.
