Ok just thought of this trade
Tor: Faulk, tvr
Car: Gardiner, Bracco and a 3rd
I think if the leafs get McDonagh they are going to end up over paying I think Faulk is the better option if the can get him also by trading for jvrs brother leafs could possibly get him to resign a team friendly deal so he can win with him and tvr is only at 825,000 a year dirt cheap for a bottom pairing guy lol just saying it could be a great trade
1.) 25 Feb 2018 01:13:22
I think the Leafs are looking for someone to compliment their current defense, not replace anyone. Carolina is also pretty loaded on D. They need offence. They almost certainly would want a Leaf forward instead of Gardiner. I can see them asking for Brown or Kapanen, in which case, Leafs should say no.
2.) 25 Feb 2018 13:38:28
I agree but i think Carolina would want a vet dman back also they are getting a top prospect if you had to maybe throw in Lievo or komarov.
21 Feb 2018 17:59:02
Three way trade:
Tor: Ryan McDonagh, Justin Faulk
Nyr: Gardiner, Bracco, Carolina's 1st or 2 nd this year
Car: Rick Nash, Justin Holl leafs 2nd this year
Everyone wins here new lines in the back end
Rielly Mcdonagh
Hainsey Faulk
Zaitzev Dermott....... DANM!!!!!!
1.) 21 Feb 2018 20:09:02
Although this would be great for the leafs, no chance the hurricanes give up faulk AND a 1st for nash, holl and a 2nd.
2.) 21 Feb 2018 20:57:56
Idk depends on two things here one being how bad do the canes want to make it to the post season and or if they are even on Nash’s trade list.
3.) 21 Feb 2018 23:20:10
Carolina gets fleeced in this one.
4.) 22 Feb 2018 13:06:28
I disagree you could add a first or Zaitzev they are getting rick Nash a big two way winger that can play Justin Holl who is a 6’4 rhd that everyone saw can put the puck in the back of the net and all Carolina is giving up is Faulk who is having an alright year and a first or second I think that pretty fair but like I said this trade would depend on if Nash would go to Carolina.
20 Feb 2018 17:22:06
Leafs need to add some grit to this line up so
Tor: Jenner 4th 2018
CLB: Lievo 3rd 2018
For a dman I'd like to keep our top four and just add to it
Arz: Timashov Rosen and a 4th 2019
Tor: Hjalmarsson and a pick
I think the leafs need to separate Gardiner and zaitsev they have not really been a good pairing and I think if the leafs put Hainsey or Hjalmarsson with Gardiner it will allow Gardiner to be a bit more offensive zaitsev drops down and plays with Dermott. The leafs in my opinion are done with the rebuild they are a couple players away from being strong contenders
1.) 20 Feb 2018 19:50:42
Hjalmarsson is a very good player having a bit of a down year on his new team. He’s defensively sound, has experience playing in a big market, and brings cup pedigree. I don’t think, however, he is the solution to the Leafs problems. Leafs have a glut of high caliber LHD, and appear to be in the market for RHD. Hjalmarsson’s contract also expires next year, and Leafs already have Gardiner to deal with at that time. While it’s possible Hjalmarsson may be moved before the deadline, I don’t think the Leafs are going to be his destination.
2.) 20 Feb 2018 20:30:28
Those are both solid deals. Good deals for the leafs. I think Jenner might cost a bit more than that though, I think you take out the pick coming back to the leafs and it's close.
3.) 20 Feb 2018 21:33:15
Leafsgm
I agree he isn’t the long term solution but for this year I think he may be a cheap rental and it gives both Dermott and Liljegren another year of experience but like I said in other post I think if leafs do nothing I really like the idea of taken a chance on Justin Holl.
4.) 21 Feb 2018 21:45:05
I thinking giving holl a chance is the best option as well.
14 Feb 2018 14:00:19
Kind of a shot in the dark but what about this trade
Tor: John Carlson 2019 3rd
Caps: jvr, Holl, 2019 1st
I don't think this would happen but if the leafs are to trade jvr I'd like to see something like this both these players are ufas this year and in my opinion if leafs are going to do a 6mil x 8 Years type deal I'd like it to be for a player like this
1.) 15 Feb 2018 00:58:47
Carlson is UFA, so I wouldn’t include the first. JVR and Holl straight up. Caps say no, but I would not want to give them any more. I think Carlson is a good player and would fit Leafs needs, but with no contract, I wouldn’t want to mortgage any of our future for a rental.
10 Feb 2018 19:33:46
Seen on another site Toronto is kicking tires about acquiring Vanek for Vancouver so a couple trade thoughts
Tor: Leivo and a 3rd for Vanek
Or
Tor: Komarov and a 3rd for Vanek
He could slot nicely into a bottom 6 role adds a bit more offence
1.) 10 Feb 2018 20:16:27
Both those trades are reasonable. Though I love Komorov and would prefer to keep him. Shipping Leivo out for a rental like Vanek is a good idea. We have no use for Lievo and he wants out. Give him what he wants while giving us another useful piece for the playoffs.
2.) 10 Feb 2018 20:26:34
I think too much for Vanek, he's consistently inconsistent.
3.) 10 Feb 2018 22:38:42
Yea but he also has 37 points could you imagine our fourth line being Vanek Komarov Kapanen that’s pretty solid depth.
4.) 11 Feb 2018 00:02:01
Why would the Leafs trade for a player with worse shot suppression numbers then JVR?
5.) 11 Feb 2018 03:12:47
Uh for depth. ðŸ˜.
6.) 11 Feb 2018 11:28:50
I feel like if Babs wanted to play Komarov at 4C, he'd be playing it now. You know Babs is hurting leaving Martin in the press box.
7.) 12 Feb 2018 03:04:47
The Vanek rumours popped up online not too long ago but I find it a little hard to believe that the Leafs would be interested in the guy, especially since his reputation precedes him. As trade proposals go, they seem reasonable enough.

I blame Boston for this rubbish show of a trade deadline leafs couldn't do anything because the prices were ridiculous
25 Feb 2018 15:15:57
Idk guys after seeing what Nash got Lou might be rethinking not trading jvr haha 😂
1.) 25 Feb 2018 16:24:34
Boston just hurt their teams future for 1 playoff series (Go! Leafs! Go! ) . Nash (33 yrs old! ) has 28 points in 60 games. His speed is a lot less than it used to be. And he's lazy.
Spooner (26 yr) has 25 in 39. All around good small C/ LW. Good as a 3C or 4C. A good target for the Leafs to acquire and gain some inside knowledge on the Bruins thinking (or given this deal; maybe not) .
Nash was an elite power forward; emphasis on the "was". Nash will leave the Bruins in the summer and go wherever he chooses. Hopefully not Toronto.
Plus Boston gave up a 1st, 3rd, 7th, Beleskey, and Lindgren.
Congrats to the Rangers. Hell of a deal.
My condolences to the Bruins fans. Are you flipping him elsewhere? Because so far, this is the worst trade of the year.
Are you sure Chiarelli didn't make this deal for the Bruins?
Chiapet must be smiling today.
2.) 25 Feb 2018 16:35:21
Almost forgot to rub this in:
Kevin Miller 10 pts $2.5M
Colin Miller 33 pts. $1M
Sorry Bruins fans, but that has to burn your gonads.
23 Feb 2018 20:47:17
I think the leafs need to really think about where they want to go from here they have a lot of offensive talent in the minors so much that I really think some of them will never get a shot in Toronto where the leafs lack is the back end so I think if the leafs have to move some of these young forwards then do it.... to be successful you need the right blend between young guns and old wise vets I've been seeing lots of people trading Bozak and jvr away and I think that's dumb and here's why
Everyone say the leafs are weak up the middle so to me it make absolutely no sense to trade our best face off man Bozak you can probably resign cheap he's having a down year when it comes to stats
Next is jvr yes he's not the best two way player but where do you find a consistent 25-30 goals a year scorer to replace him.... you don't he's going to be a bit more expensive but if the leafs move a couple guys like Polak and Komarov that are expendable I think they will be ok.
But main focus should be getting a top d man and drafting so good d men just like they have done with the forwards I honestly don't see the leafs doing anything at the deadline prices are way to high
1.) 23 Feb 2018 23:01:32
You're right there is no need to make any drastic trades now based on the way they are playing.
2.) 24 Feb 2018 03:19:08
Matt Martin to islanders for a 5th or 6th
Polak, and 2nd pick to detroit for Green
Unfortunately Komarov must stay for good chemistry.
3.) 24 Feb 2018 16:51:05
I agree I was just saying if they were to move Komarov he is the most expandable with players like Kapanen I think Kadri could be a good replacement on the pk.
09 Feb 2018 16:03:51
So idk what the leafs plan for their ufas are or what they will do at the dead line Rumors have it is that they want to add some vets but one thing I think they should do is approach jvr and his agent offer them a team friendly deal ($5.5 x 6) if the reject it then move him at the deadline also think they should get the Nylander deal done.
On another note I think players like Polak and Carrick need to be flipped for picks I'd really like to see Holl and Dermot as our bottom pairing they proved that they can get the job done and it works for the leafs I don't see the leafs adding anything at the deadline prices are to high for players they will flip Sosh and josh for picks. they are not willing to move futures or prospects so not much room for improvement here..... thoughts??
03 Feb 2018 17:39:39
The way it's looking JVR Bozak and komorov won't be moved at the deadline each of them play a big role on this team and if moved it leaves big holes in the lineup. Everyone is saying how thin we are up the middle so why get rid of our best face off man jvr is one of our better offensive players and komorov is probably our top penalty killers but honestly if anyone is moved I'd say Komarov is going jvr said he really wants to stay in Toronto so I think he would take a team friendly contract Bozak could walk or sign a one year deal. Everyone says Toronto needs to sell for assets but really who's out there that can make an immediate impact towards this team no sense in going one step forward and two steps back A lot of teams in the east look like they are on the verge of a rebuild I think Toronto is fine where they are if they make it to the second round that's a win for this season in my opinion
1.) 04 Feb 2018 01:44:25
There isn't anyone out there that can help immediately. That's why you need to trade the ufa's and get some picks. We need those for players that can play in 3-4 years when Mathews, Nylander, and marner get paid. You have to have a pipeline if young cheap talent to contend for years to come. We aren't dining the cup this year and we have a lot of good young d coming just take a look at the marlies. Our time to go for it if after next year when the ufa market will be flooded with top end d talent or by then we truly know how good our prospects are.
02 Mar 2018 18:55:37
Just wanted to state that if Tavares leaves the islanders it’s going to be for a team that can win sooner than later or else he would just stay where he’s at and in my opinion it’s going to be the same situation as Stamkos and Tampa last year all this hype that a franchise player is going to move and nothing will happen.
26 Feb 2018 19:09:13
He will resign there if his brother is there.
26 Feb 2018 13:52:26
Also everyone is writing the leafs off in the playoffs they have as good as of a chance of making it deep in the playoffs they can beat Tampa they can beat Boston so to move jvr for picks that really
Hurts our lineup.
26 Feb 2018 01:29:55
Give it up with Johnson leafs are not going to throw a player with no nhl experience in the lineup for the playoffs doesn’t matter if he goes to the net he’s had a good season in the ahl but the ahl and the nhl are a big difference leafs add no more forwards and maybe try and add something in the backend just because Boston’s gm is retarded doesn’t mean every other gm is give your head a shake.
25 Feb 2018 20:55:53
Mackin you’re an idiot we lose one our top point getters and the only reason the leafs have been so effective is because the leafs are three lines deep the only way the leafs move jvr is if we get a top dman or replacement forward that put up around the same numbers as him picks aren’t enough if you think by adding more rookies to the lineup will help your fooling yourself why take one step forward and two steps back.
25 Feb 2018 20:39:14
I’ve got mixed feelings about this trade I think leafs over paid for a fourth line centre and what does this mean for Moore yeas Plekanec is a bit better offensively but he’s playing on the fourth line and he’s a v**** so all I can see happening here is him and Moore battling fora line up spot where the leafs could of used that 2nd for a more significant player but I guess only time will tell.
25 Feb 2018 20:13:31
Kapanen will move up the lineup before Lievo.
24 Feb 2018 16:51:05
I agree I was just saying if they were to move Komarov he is the most expandable with players like Kapanen I think Kadri could be a good replacement on the pk.
10 Feb 2018 21:41:50
Only way jvr gets moved is if it’s for a top
4 d and I don't think jvr can fetch that so keep dreaming leafs will resign him and trade Bozak and Komarov.
23 Jan 2018 15:05:28
I agree but I’d like to see these line
Jvr Mathews Nylander
Hyman Kadri Komarov
Marleau Bozak marner
Kapanen goat brown
Reilly zaitsev
Dermott Hainsey
Gardiner Borgman.
