Leafs trade Tyson Barrie for anything! Best case maybe their own first back from Carolina!
Use Sandin, Muzzin, Dermott for powerplay
Leafs trade Kerfoot, Dermott and a 2nd to Minny for Jonas Brodin
or
Kapanen, Liljegren, and a 3rd for Dumba
Much rather package Kerfoot than Kapanen in any trade but Dumba will require a boat load! AND hate to give up Dermott but won’t be able to afford him next year! RFA and will get 2M plus!

If Holl got $3M, I wouldn’t be surprised if Dermott sees something similar. It is Dubas after all.
Brodin is just another Muzzin. Seems kind of redundant having them both on the team. And where would he play after Reilly comes back?
No matter how I look at it, if Leafs are trading for a top 4 defenseman, it has to be a RHD. Unless whoever we bring in has actually been playing right, despite being a natural leftie, we simply don’t have anywhere to put them. As it is, if we re- sign Muzzin, we are basically going to need either Sandin or Dermott to be able to make the switch to right, and that’s a bit of a long shot. Even Muzzin couldn’t make that switch. Which means, as much as I like Dermott, I have to agree with you, he will likely be traded.
Brodin is s great player. I don’t know if Leafs should give up so much for him though. Seems like a lot for a guy that really isn’t that much better than Dermott, but costs a lot more. You complain Dermot gets $2M next year, but Brodin makes $4M. That’s a lot for a guy who might be our bottom pair LHD.

Love to get Brodin.

Wondering if lots of people on here really know hockey!? Matthias Eckholm is a stud top 4 D on any team! Maybe better than TJ Brodie, so he could even end up on first pair! So...how does anyone wonder where he would slot in with the Leafs, or if the Leafs would protect him in the expansion draft! Has another year left on a wonderful contract! No brainer, trade for him now!

I'm wondering if you do. Let me list some reasons.
1. Who do your protect? Muzzin, Ekholm, Reilly, Brodie. Which one is a freebie? If those are the options your paying at least 2 firsts to take someone else.
2. Where do you fit his salary?
3. What does it cost to get him?
Yes in a perfect world my top line is Mathews-Mcdavid-Kane
But fantasy land is fantasy land. Most trades involving Ekholm either underpay severely for what he is or don't account for the other issues. If you want to propose one then be my guest. Maybe it's perfect. Who know?

On top of what LeafsLife has said.
I Always love when someone pops in claiming to be the know it all about hockey. If the "people" on here didn't realize Ekholm was a really good defenceman, they wouldn't be suggesting trades for him. It is not just, where does he slot in or if you protect him, it is are you also willing to lose one of our other top 4 in the draft on top of what it took to acquire Ekholm. Our top 4 is not our biggest issue at the moment. It is the best top 4 we have had in years. Ekholm does not solve our problems upfront and if we use our assets to get him, we have nothing left to solve our issues upfront.

What is with the Sam Bennett fan club? He has done nothing at the nhl level! Don't get me wrong, would love to have hi is grit, but only for cheap! Not good young roster players and definitely not for Dermott!
1.) 15 Feb 2020 09:40:54
Over compensation. So long with out gritty players a lot of people have convinced themselves that skill isn't worth it anymore.
2.) 16 Feb 2020 20:21:13
He put 2 in last night in the 8-4 loss. Girlfriend is a flames fan, follow them fairly closely.

With the proposed prices for Manson being floated around here it sure looks like people are putting a premium on grit over skill these days.

That’s just ridiculous! 👎ðŸ¼.

Too much! And sounds like you just described Kerfoot!
20 Mar 2021 03:21:59
You’re not even close! Way more for those 2!
19 Feb 2020 18:40:17
So Pesce isn’t good enough for you? And the Leafs thank you for turning Liljegren’s career around! What would they do without you? You’re great LeafsGM, just ask you!
17 Feb 2020 15:32:17
How can you even compare? Manson has term left, another year at a decent 4.1M! Oh and not to mention, much younger! You are not even close!
