Canucks and leafs
Canucks trade grudbranson and sutter
Toronto trades leivo and neilson and a 3rd in 2018
Toronto gets bottom pair rhd and a good 3rd or 4th like centre
1.) 11 Feb 2018 02:57:11
Gudbranson sucks.
2.) 12 Feb 2018 03:02:29
Let's please stay away from Gudbranson. The sooner Vancouver locks him up the better so that these proposals and online media discussions about whether to target him stop. Advance metrics already list him as one of the worse defencemen on the Vancouver team. Others have compared him to a younger Polak. If that's true, do we really need two of them?

Toronto and Calgary.
Toronto trades. Jvr leivo and sosh and neilson
Calgary trades
Valimaki and dillion dube and Troy Brouwer
Leafs get a big dmen not a right dmen but going to be a stud. Dillion dube is fast as hell with good IQ and a point a game player in junior and Brouwer is a veteran and match contracts.
All puts leafs at 48 contracts since valimaki isn't signed yet. I don't think.
What does everyone think?
Would you rather parsons the goalie?
1.) 09 Feb 2018 15:06:55
Too much from Leafs. JVR would fetch two of Calary's 3.
2.) 09 Feb 2018 20:07:40
If T. O. can't afford to resign JVR we have to make something happen. They are not winning this year.
3.) 09 Feb 2018 20:18:31
I don't think Calgary would do that. But if they would TO. should make the trade.
4.) 10 Feb 2018 19:31:44
You haven't addressed the RHD. Instead of Brouwer as a dump, use Stone (RHD) @ 3.5M for 3 years. If he doesn't work out; he is instantly tradeable.
Alternatively you could ask for Valimaki, Andersson (RHD), and Dube; while eating half of JVR's cap hit. This leaves the Flames lineup intact and accomplishes the same. The only reason that Andersson isn't on the Flames is that they have 4 RHD's ahead of him. Just may be the best NHL defence on paper.

To Toronto Ceci and pageau
To Ottawa holl and bracco and 2nd 2018
Is that a fair trade.
I think it's fair.
Toronto gets rhd and 4th line centre
Ottawa gets young dmen to step in now and young top six winger and a 2nd
1.) 05 Feb 2018 19:14:49
I mean its close but holl looked real good and bracco has a high potential while we already know what we are getting in pageau with how bad dorion is i'd say offer a 4th instead.
2.) 05 Feb 2018 22:22:33
I think Ottawa thinks highly of ceci so while I would love this trade I don't think it's enough for Ottawa to pull the trigger.
3.) 06 Feb 2018 03:28:35
For Ottawa to take that trade seriously, Leafs would have to throw in a lot more, probably a 1st and another pick, maybe third. Two NHLers for two AHLers plus a second? Woof.
Holl leaned heavily on Dermott those two games and played Robin to Dermott's Batman the whole time. If he'd been paired with Borgman or Gardiner, he would have been exposed big time. Two decent games and some puck luck doesn't mean much to the rest of the league.
4.) 07 Feb 2018 15:44:20
Agreed.
02 Nov 2017 23:21:30
How about this one.
Toronto trades Jvr Branco neilson and 2nd and 1st round pick
To buffalo for Alexander nylander and -ristolainen
Fair deal?
1.) 03 Nov 2017 03:28:32
I would love to have ristolainen but he is their only stud dman. Can't see them giving him up.
2.) 03 Nov 2017 12:22:50
No way Tim Murray is that dumb.
3.) 04 Nov 2017 19:48:49
Stupid deal. Leafs are fine and will not trade a first rd pick unless it fits their immediate and long-term vision. JVR may get signed before too long and Bracco isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Ristolainen isn't going anywhere either.
4.) 04 Nov 2017 19:59:26
No way Tim Murray is still the GM in Buffalo.
Thanks for coming out.

Tor trade: Gardner and marner
To blue jackets. Werenski and Boone Jenner
I love marner. Don't think leafs would trade him.
But would like to know what everyone thinks of this trade. Is it fair for both teams.
Leafs get a power forward that's tough and with speed and a top 2 dmen. And someone to quarter back the power play.
1.) 31 Oct 2017 21:26:44
Marner is untouchable. Gardiner on the other hand is not. I would like to see the Leafs acquire Max Jones from Anaheim, along with two punishing defenders. Would Anaheim being interested in Bozak and/ orJVR? What about the Islanders and JVR? Can the Leafs pry a D-man from the Isle?
2.) 31 Oct 2017 22:02:01
I love the leafs and marner.
But the reality is only Austin Matthews is untouchable.
Every one else is tradeable.
Like you don't give up players like marner or even a nylander. But if the package is another young stud core player with other things added in any deal. Then maybe they would trade a core piece. And Jvr will be traded before trade deadline. For a first and d prospect.
So the Anaheim trade is possible. I see bozak going to Pittsburgh at deadline for a 1st. Or prospect.
3.) 31 Oct 2017 22:16:10
Only Matthews is untouchable.
Jvr will be traded to west coast team at deadline for a first and d prospect. I think bozak is going to penguins at deadline for something try for a first but probably second and prospect.
But I think you are under rating werenski.
He finished ahead on marner is calder voting.
6"2 quarter back of powerplay. 50 points almost as a rookie. plus 17 as a rookie dmen.
He's a stud. And it would knock Riley to second pairing where I think he should be.
4.) 02 Nov 2017 11:00:11
James H. Matthews, Marner and Nylander are untradeable. The Leafs would never get good value in return for either Marner or Nylander. Coach Babcock (aka Dick Tracy) is ruining Marner. Marner needs to centre his own line and play with either Brown and or Kadri on his wing. The coach should stop playing Bozak and/ or JVR with Marner as neither Bozak or JVR are on Marner's level skill or compete wise.
5.) 02 Nov 2017 14:29:47
Marner is going nowhere, his plus/ minus has been even for the last 4 games (even though the Leafs had lost three) . It's just a matter of time before he starts scoring. Just like last year.
But yes, Ny. Magic; the Leafs should stop playing Marner with Bozak and JVR, both for lack of skill, and the fact that neither will be with the Leafs next year and Marner will be wasting a year playing with them. He needs to progress by playing with other linemates.
Boone Jenner is overrated. Last year was "meh". This year sucks so far.
Werenski is not going to be traded. Star, stud, rookie dmen, almost never get traded in their sophomore year.
Gardiner may get traded, but not right now. He's at his peak, and is affordable for this season and next. Assuming Borgman sticks (and he's raw, but is looking better every game), The Leafs will likely trade Gardiner and keep Borgman. One of Dermott or Neilsen will move up into the 3rd spot. Cap considerations will make this a necessity as well.
After the next two seasons or sooner:
Reilly, Liljegren
Dermott, Zaitsev
Neilsen, Borgman
Rasanen (Can be held in the minors, by the low paid vet of your choice)
Not sure we need to rush to trade for any D help. Concentrate on upgrading the 3rd and 4th line centers.
6.) 02 Nov 2017 14:45:42
Lab16 I think we can throw Carrick in the mix also. He should get a team friendly contract this year maybe around 2mill for 3 years, and will fill out the right side. I think there's a better chance the defence looks like this in 2019.
Reilly zaitzev
Borgman liljegren
Rosen Carrick
Other than that I'd have to agree with you.

If there was another team jvr would sign with it probably would be Carolina. His brother plays for the canes.
22 Jan 2018 23:35:57
Jvr brother plays for canes so he might actual sign there to play with brother.
05 Jan 2018 21:38:43
Lupul contract is off the books at the end of this year.
