Leafs Trade Rumors

Trouba for pink and 20th overall. are right handed D in that high demand? Not a great return.

18 Jun 2019 03:18:18
The Jets got taken unless they hit a homerun with thw draft pick.

18 Jun 2019 03:55:19
Haha haha. Pionk and 20th overall is all Trouba brought. How do you like that one Winnipeg fans? Not even close to what you guys were saying. Kadri+ is probably looking better now I bet.

18 Jun 2019 04:11:13
Trouba is a very solid defenceman but it was the situation Winnipeg that brought his value down. Everyone knew that Trouba did not intend to sign longer than the final year of his RFA status and he was leaving Winnipeg no matter what. There is no gaurentee he plans to sign long term with any team acquiring his rights so he essential is a rental that still needs to be signed to a large price tag.

Having him hold out for a massive price tag in Winnipeg screws them out of the possibility of resigning Myers or going after other UFA/ Trade options. Winnipeg is looking to compete now trading Trouba for all futures doesn't help them at the moment. They get a serviceable defenceman and there first back that they can shop for Immediate help in the 2c hole.

If Trouba was signed or had more rfa years it would be a different story, I think the Jets made a smart move cutting bait before the situation got worse and can now focus on other things.

Tor: matthews zaitsev
Njd: 2019 1st severson wood vatanen

After doing this deal sign marner essentially saying if he wants to take to much money so his teammates don't have enough he may be gone like mstthews at some point.

Trade marleau to arizona for a 7th and future considerations.

Trade brown to Edmonton for puljuarvi straight up.

Trade 2020 2nd for nylander

Lineup pre injuries
Hyman tavares marner 22
Kadri hughes kapanen 8
Johnsson nylander nylander 12
Moore wood puljuarvi 3

Reilly vatanen 9.5
Muzzin dermott 5
Rosen lily 2

Goalies and retained 8

Total owed 70 ish plus in the press box is another 2 million. We could be a big player at the deadline.

Pre injury idk for dermott maybe try holl again

For hyman move puljuarvi up with tavares and see how it works. Anymore injuries try bracco and sandin.


We could also look at locking up johnsson and kapanen longer term but that will eat into our salary a bit and make things troublesome when reilly andersen hyman and kadro clme up for renewal.

You’re trading the wrong guy if you want to make a statement. You should be trading Bylander to send a message to Marner.

If Marner holds out to start the season, then he’s an even bigger dick than Nylander. Matthews signed his contract in good time with as little stress or interference as possible. His was the least distracting of all them.

Marner and Nylander are little kids who let their dads dictate everything off-ice. They should be able to buy pacifiers.

18 Jun 2019 02:25:55
Why wouldn't you put severson beside muzzin. just a thought

Nylander might take a little more than a future 2nd rounder to get from buffalo. just another thought

Trading matthews might be the wrong way to make that kind of statement. firing dubas and shanahan for agreeing to that contract would be the best way to make a statement. just my last thought.

18 Jun 2019 02:41:44
I love the bought off that Edmonton trade. I wonder if Edmonton could be convinced to do that. Apparently they have interest in Zaitsev too. So a bundle deal of some sort may even be possible there. I don’t know. Puljujarvi is definitely an interesting choice though. He just is so intriguing. If Edmonton gives up on him, I think he’s worth a shot at still for the right price.

18 Jun 2019 04:35:13
I am not sold matthews is worth mcdavid money missing 20 games a season. Marner has been our best player. I completely forgot I grabbed severson. Posted when I woke up. A Nylander is looking more and more like he doesn't get you a first. He may not even work out I think the only reason he costs more than that is he's going to his brother we ahould work with a team in the west to get him.

Leafs trade Marleau*
SJ trades Braun, Sorenson
* Leafs retain 50%

Looks like Karlsson is off the trade market. SJ signed him to record deal. I said all season SJ would re-sign Karlsson and name him captain while Pavelski walks. So I was half right so far. Lol. Now if they name him Captain and don’t re-sign Pavelski, then I guess I got it 100% right.

Maybe I’m not so dumb after all?

17 Jun 2019 17:47:58
Leafs: Marner, Zaitsev
Blackhawks: Debrincat, 3rd overall, Boquist

Become a powerhouse.

17 Jun 2019 19:16:04
Oh man. Can you imagine if Chicago did this? Lol. I love Marner just as much as any other Leaf fan, but if we could get the return you have here BW, I would personally volunteer to drive Marner to the airport and even kiss him goodbye.

Who would you draft with the 3rd overall BW? I would go with Cozens or ahead of Byram because we don’t really have any good centres in the pipeline. If we luck out like Montreal did with Kotkaniemi, we would easily be able to trade Kadri for RHD, or put him on LW to replace Marleau.

Byram is a very good LHD prospect, but from what I’ve read, his mechanical skills such as stick handling and skating are what puts him so high up in the draft chart. Apparently his “hockey iq”, whatever that means exactly, and other intangibles, is not as good as players like Boqvist, Bouchard, Dobson, Liljegren, Makar, etc. Those guys are all ranked top 10 defensive prospects because they have the intuition and ability to read the play that Byram doesn’t have. My understanding from what I’ve read is that this year’s draft class for defensemen isn’t as strong as it has been in recent years. And that makes sense. After just having guys like Chabot, McAvoy, Dahlin, Heiskenan, Hanifin, Makar, etc come into the league the last three years or so, it’s not hard to believe that there would be a step back in quality of defensemen at some point.

17 Jun 2019 20:53:30
I don't think Chicago would do this. Maybe they would do just Debrincat and Boqvist but I just don't see them throwing in the 3rd overall pick.

17 Jun 2019 23:57:11
What about you MostLeaf? If BW’s trade here actually happened by some miracle, who would you draft with the 3rd overall? It would have to be Cozens or Turcotte. Especially since Boqvist is coming to Leafs here in this deal. Boqvist is ranked much higher than Byram.

18 Jun 2019 03:37:25
With the 3rd pick I would take Turcotte. There’s lots to like about his game just look him up.

17 Jun 2019 06:13:29
So my thought on marner is this he's holding up a lot right now and I think dubas needs to give him a deadline I'd say before the draft if he doesn't wanna sign here's my pitch

Tor: marner
Chi: debrincat and the 3rd overall pick

I get that dubas is kind of in a hard situation right now but these agents and eating him up make a statement

17 Jun 2019 19:26:52
I was reading an article recently kn the whole Marner signing thing. Basically, the author of the article seemed to think that the situation right now involving Marner has far greater implications for the whole nhl than virtually any other signing this year. He felt that a lot of teams were waiting to see what Marner signs for before signing free agents themselves. Apparently Marner is holding up the entire league. Lol.

I like this proposal, but BW upped it by throwing Boqvist in too. So I like his trade proposal better. Lol. Maybe you can add Kane or Toews? Lol.

17 Jun 2019 20:57:05
I just don't see Chicago trading the 3rd overall pick. Very few teams trade away that high of a pick for nothing else in the first round.

18 Jun 2019 00:03:42
Actually MostLeaf, I was reading that there is a very good chance Chicago trades that pick. Bowman’s job is on the line. They have to make the playoffs this year. Marner instantly and significantly makes them much better. Yes, much better than DeBrincat and the 3rd.
