Haven't been on in a while and not sure if anybody has posted anything for Montour, but he's a pretty good young RHD from ON, who's playing well in the AHL. Haven't watched him so don't know his Defensive play though.

Ana:
Kappanen
Leipsic
Ott 2nd

Tor:
Montour
4th

Any suggestions?

Have you been in a coma?

There are posts for him almost every day.

He's not a 1st round pick (55th OA 2014), and has a lot of work to do on his D. Kind of like Gardiner.

Kapanen needs a shot with the Leafs prior to being put up for trade. The Leafs owe him that. Leipsic is a fireball, although a small one.

Montour is not worth all that. Maybe just Kapanen and 3rd 2018.

With Cowen case won by Toronto, they now have a cap relief asset.

Toronto: Cowen + Hunwick + Smith + 5th round

Chicago: Pokka + Kruger

With Cowen's relief, about 1.2M in salary going to chicago, and 4M coming back. Chicago gets an upgrade on 4th line C who has played well on special teams, and adds defensive depth. Most importantly, frees up almost 3M of cap space to use on a bigger fish at deadline.

Maybe it works maybe not? How far off am I?

Cowan has already been bought out by the Leafs. They won the appeal and it's done.

I know inter-division trading doesn't happen too often, but then again we did grab phil the thrill out of Boston. Montreal could be up to 2 months without a top 6 C. Bozak is playing great, and I'd hate to breakup the JVR-Marner-Bozie line, but it doesn't look like the leafs are going to crack playoffs. I'm all for keeping bozak, but I think his trade value is at its peak.

Bozak + Corrado + Lowest 2nd 2017

Sergachev + 3rd 2018

Montreal has the leverage to give up assets for guys ready to make an impact now. How far off am I?

Leafs Lunch

1.) 09 Dec 2016 17:56:37
Maybe. I am pretty sure the Leafs will not give up Bozak this year because of the chemistry he has with Marner and JVR I could not see them trading him until next year. If he was traded the Leafs don't have a second line center replacement for him so that would be an issue. Matthews isn't ready for promotion yet but next year possibly.


2.) 09 Dec 2016 19:38:35
I agree, but I think that in the end this year will be a wash regardless, and if you can get a soon-to-be top 4 D for a guy who we only have for 1 more year ( I think), it wouldn't hurt. As I said I'm all in on keeping him though. He balances our team, however if Montreal is desperate to win now and stay in a good playoff seed it may be our best opportunity. I'd say it will be Hanzal to Montreal though. Just a thought!


3.) 10 Dec 2016 00:46:10
If Auston Matthews is not ready for a promotion then why does he lead the team in minutes played per game. Let's be realistic if Montreal gives up sergachev for bozak Toronto should jump all over it.


4.) 10 Dec 2016 03:45:49
I agree. Keep Bozak and JVR. Trading either would create a big hole without any comparable replacement in sight. I know that this is just year 2 in the rebuild but I think that the leafs and Babs are intent on winning games and creating a winning attitude. They have 3 fairly balanced lines and are competitive in most games and will only get better as the young guns gain experience. I don't think that this is a "tank season".

Here's a thought. Why not keep Nylander on the 4th line at centre and see if he can be groomed into a Bozak replacement for next year. He was a centre all through his career until this season. Maybe the positional change ignites an improvement in hustle and back checking.


5.) 10 Dec 2016 16:43:28
As long as we are stuck with him:

I don't see any problem with Nylander on the 4th line if it succeeds in developing his game without the puck. Arguably, you could supply him with Sosh or Brown who back check fairly well to allow for some offence to occur as well at the other end.

Maybe gradually, you will then get the game that is required out of him, while still keeping his offensive game intact. And this way he will also have a body guard (Martin), so he can gather up his feathers and go into the corners.


6.) 10 Dec 2016 17:42:46
I don't think that this is a tank season, but if you can get maximum value for a player you lose in a year, and you're not in the playoff hunt it makes more sense, than to keep him through till halfway through next season. Then you can find a replacement in the summer, as well as get some assets.

Friedman reports that he thinks Tyson Barrie will be out of Colorado. Don't think this is true but what would get him? 49 point 24 year old right D?

Leafs:
Percy, Kapanen, Levio Leafs 2nd/ Pitts 1st?

Col: Barrie

Not sure what his market value but I would assume about the same as ROR was? 2 B prospects, A prospect and 31 OA?

Have at it.

Leafs Lunch

There is other things Toronto has to think about if they do this deal. If they do trade for Barrie, they will be forced to protect Reilly, Gardiner and Barrie and could lose Zaitsev in the expansion draft in a year or two. Toronto isn't or shouldn't be trying for a playoff spot in the next two years anyways so let's wait and get some more good draft picks. We don't really know how good Zaitsev is going to be so let's give him a year to see if he could be a core play. If he isn't, trade for a top three D man next year. If some how he's better (I'm not saying he will be but he was a first team all star) and you protect him. You didn't lose Barrie, you have lost Percy, Kapanen, Levio Leafs 2nd/Pitts 1st. I would sooner lose one of them instead of all of them. Just something to think about!


2.) 15 May 2016 15:42:22
I do agree with you, but you take advantage of what you can get when you get it. As you said we don't know what zaitsev will be and he could be a bust. If we like what we see then maybe we have to ship out gardiner or Barrie for future prospects or picks. It's not a bad thing to have too much talent. We still have atleast a year to make decisions.

Toronto
Andersen + 3rd 2016

Anaheim
Bozak + 2nd 2017 (SJ) + 4th 2016



Maybe anaheim would want Leo instead. Not sure if that's about fair value. I like andersen though, and wouldn't want to miss out on him.

Leafs Lunch

1.) 15 Apr 2016 17:14:18
Anderson is definitely a possible trade option for the Leafs. Not sure what the right price would be; depends on the Ducks' playoff run.


2.) 16 Apr 2016 03:18:18
Fredrik Andersen would be the perfect choice as Leafs goaltender. Problem is he would be costly - probably JVR and Penguins 1st rounder.


3.) 16 Apr 2016 13:58:16
Sid Slam, i'm not sure if you think that JVR is a 3rd liner, or that goalies tend to go for very high amounts, but most goalies last year went for 2nds and a B prospect/roster player.


4.) 16 Apr 2016 17:58:59
Leafs Lunch, I actually like JVR as a 2nd liner who could get you 25 goals, 60 points but Fredrik Andersen will be in high demand this summer and if Leafs want him, it will cost them a player like JVR and Penguins 1st rounder. I really believe Toronto is targeting him so we see what the Ducks are asking for him.


5.) 22 Apr 2016 19:38:49
You're overvaluing a goalie Sid. Best comparable would be Schneider went to the Devils for a first rounder. Bernier went for less. The goalie market is soft. I like Anderson too but he'll be cheap when the expansion draft comes about.

Leafs: keep nylander

Waive Lab 16

Its people like you why the leafs have blown up the rebuild in the past. Nylander has played excellent tonight. Give these KIDS time to find their games.

Leafs Lunch

1.) 11 Dec 2016 16:08:13
He got one good assist and made two defensive plays; one helped prevent a goal.

He get's a pass tonight; nothing more.

It's too bad that non-of your fanboy posts ever contain any relevant content; just hate for others and stupid comparisons.

Keeping players that don't perform is exactly why the Leafs have failed since 68. The list will be massive so it can't be typed here.

I'm fully on board with this rebuild, and my posts prove it. I'm fully in agreement with what Babcock has done and what Lou has done (except for non-guaranteed returns on a trade).

Have you not read any of the other players interviews. They all talk about defence first, then offense. Babcock is a defense first coach, always has been in Detroit and has never wavered from that here.

He's stated that himself many times in interviews. You just can't comprehend what that means. You can't comprehend that I have always agreed that Nylander has good offensive talent; and that I have only concerned my comments with his defence.

You can't seem to comprehend ANY of that. You just shoot your mouth off, without any backing of your lame unfounded opinions.

You are in essence a Nylander fanboy. Congrats!

Please see a psychiatrist, and seek some educational help.


2.) 11 Dec 2016 17:07:03
It seems that your obsession with getting rid of the player, gears more towards a personal vendeta. Did William possibly take your girl home from a bar one night?

A fan boy for not wanting to trade a ROOKIE who has less than a full season played, who was leading the AHL in scoring as a 19 year old, won rookie of the month a month ago.

I would say your obsession with him is a display of sociopathic behavior. When the consensus is against you, you may not be right.

I also posted about 2 days ago.


3.) 11 Dec 2016 21:50:42
You posted 2 days ago and then 6 months before that. Troll.


4.) 11 Dec 2016 23:07:41
That's just the point; I've never made it a personal vendetta. I just put up trades for him.


5.) 11 Dec 2016 23:08:08
This is hilarious keep it up.


6.) 12 Dec 2016 06:46:40
Haven't been active for a while with school and all lmao. I have been on this site long before you have. It began in Pinball's prime when he was taken 210th overall, and posted 5 rumors a day. I don't go around trolling, I leave the one liners for the GOAT DBF. I try to provide constructive criticism in most cases.


7.) 12 Dec 2016 21:53:27
But you didn't here; you could have just left alone a 2 day old post alone that was just sarcastic fun(whether you thought it was funny or not). But no, you had to reply to it.

I have no obsession with getting rid of Nylander, nor do I have any delusion that I control any of it. I just posted trades with him in them. The obsession has been from the wacky, senseless, Nylander worshipers that just can't let it go.

All of nonsense returned, never once included a discussion of what his D problems are; all that was returned was he has offense, he's a star player, and worse. So zany, that I just had to do the Chicken Willie schtick. Not even my idea; I saw it on another site that got the same response. So hilarious!

But in relation to Nylander:

I have always alluded to in my posts about what he does and doesn't do on defense; but that has never once been discussed by the fanboy side.

All teams that win consistently, do it with defense. All players need to conform to it. Defense first! (or the like) are Babcocks words, not mine (although, I agree entirely with him).

Still I was willing to let it go and you brought all up again.

Cmon, now! Let's get back to trading JVR a dozen times a night.


 

 

15 Jun 2016 18:12:36
Not trying to open a can of worms, but why is there a want to trade JVR. We're going to be competitive within the next couple of years. If JVR is traded I would hope to get some defensive help, not a prospect who maybe one day may come close to what JVR is. Just my thoughts.

Anyone elaborate?

Leafs Lunch

1.) 15 Jun 2016 20:31:04
Definitely wouldn't do a trade without a top 4d + or young stud goalie return+


2.) 16 Jun 2016 15:41:57
For me I agree with JdawgT.O. I would try to target a good goalie more like Andrei Vasilevski or Matt Murray, even though it is highly unlikely that he will be traded


 

 

11 Apr 2016 17:30:34
Arizona fired Don Maloney. Maybe OEL would be in play in a Matthews trade? I wouldn't doubt that the owner would do almost anything in his power to get a homegrown ticket seller. Who knows.

Leafs Lunch

1.) 12 Apr 2016 16:04:02
If the Leafs win the lottery and the Yotes are at 7th I would only make a trade down if Nylander or Juolevi are available (impossible to know beforehand of course). That would take a Strome to move up. Imagine they sign Stammer and get Strome and a Nylander/Juolevi. just wow.


 

 

14 Feb 2016 18:04:36
Well boys, were officially in last place! Last place with "The Cock" on the bench is quite an accomplishment. Granted we are 7 points out of the 10th pick with a game or 2 in hand on everyone. Hopefully this is where Lou and Dubas keep on their pace and start shipping guys out. Love the thought of icing a majorit AHL team for the rest of the year. Almost like a quarter of a season tryout for some guys, and gives them good future experience, even if we are losing.

Unfortunately we have to set our expectations a little lower. Toronto is the type of team to finish dead last, lose all 3 lotteries, and pick 4th (Edmonton finishes with 14th pick but wins 1st overall lottery. ) let's hope the boys in blue can do it.

Lastly, just wanted to mention how the biggest sports franchise in North America, got the majority of a die-hard fan base on board with a rebuild in under 2 years. Well done management. Future is looking bright. Let's not Bryan Burke this franchise amidst a rebuild and trade a bunch of high picks for a Kessel-esqu player. Draft and develop.

Kadri is a true #2. I know it's early but he's on pace for 32 again, and looks great to me. It's going to be replacing the third line. Personally I think Marner should play C.

They'd probably need a bottom pair D back to keep depth. I'd say Carick instead of a 2nd.

You can only give him 8 years if he's an RFA or signing with original team. 7 is max.
