These are those "minor" deals that could go either way. The GM looks like a genius if the guys he trades for works out or an idiot if the guy he trades becomes the better player. Good thoughts.


 

 

21 Mar 2022 07:02:33
To tor
Hayes(leafs not on his 12 team no trade list)
Sanheim(50% retain)
Braun

To phil
Nylander
Sandin
Holl(to make cap work)
Liljegren

Hayes knows it's rebuild time so he approves deal
Leafs add years of Hayes and he is a beast to play 3rd line center or even platooning with tavernas as 2 line C to take pressure off one another as they age.
Sanheim is bottom pair D with Braun now and Muzzin no rush and when he comes back eases into lineup on bottom pair with one of sanheim/Braun. Next year if Gio retires or leaves sanheim and muzzin are the 2nd unit.

Philly grabs rebuild deal here. Might need to throw in Robertson but not Knies.

How does this look for u

Hayes Tavares Kase
That's a nasty working line

No way.

Same day trade

To Detroit
Campbell
Engvall

To tor
Rowney
Staal(50% retain)
Colorado 4th rd
Cond Det 3rd if Campbell resigns

Then
To dall
Dermott
Cond Colorado 4th rd if holtby resigns

To tor
Holtby

Cap in 3.85 1F 1D 1G
Cap out 4.4 1F 1D 1G

Leafs save cap and could gain a pick or 2 plus gain a bit over 3 million on cap next year and get a playoff goalie

Justin Formed

1.) 06 Mar 2022 15:15:58
Holtby is probably a good target. In a perfect world I would rather have Mrazek moved, but Leafs need to do something about their goaltending.


2.) 06 Mar 2022 17:09:37
Can’t see Stevie taking extra years on mrazak. He takes Campbell and if it works he resigns him to his deal and if he doesn’t work saves a puck and finds a partner to play with a neddy. One thing with Stevie is he hates taking on extra years of guys. Seems he deals for upcoming ufa players tries them out then resigns if he likes.

I see mrazek going to Arizona only, maybe Edmonton but doubt it. So Dubas might just be stuck with this mistake

I’d love to send Campbell back to Dallas for fun but suicide is not an option so trade him home.


3.) 06 Mar 2022 19:39:44
I think Buffalo or Chicago may have some interest in Mrazek as well.

To Philly
Dermott
Maybe a prospect

To Toronto
Yandle

So barring yandle waives his no trade clause at $900K and no attachment to him next year does this trade makes sense.

This creates 600K in savings now which is not much bug opens up 1.5 in savings next year. Yes I know LD leafs are in need for but I don't think it hurts them short or long term

If a deal like this went down I'll find it funny that next year Yandle still had his name to a cap hit as Florida must take a 5.4 or so hit on his buyout and along with darling they are out 6.575 to start the year. According to cap friendly they will have 4.5 to fill at minimum 6 roster spots. So If cap stays same that's exactly 6 minimum salary deals to fill out those spots with no spare players to fill in for injuries. Looks like Toronto ain't the only team looking for crazy ways to maneuver cap.

So thanks yandle you both helped the leafs save money this and next year while still due to your buyout hurtin Florida this abs the next 3 years but very much next year this once again helping the leafs because flirida as we all know are in our division

So yeah win win

Justin Formed

1.) 13 Feb 2022 22:28:45
Don’t think Philly can take on any extra salary.

Plus the Leafs need a decent defensive Dman with some physicality, both of which Yandle is lacking.

If Philly had space they’d be more than happy IMO to a 1:1 trade. No need to add a prospect.


2.) 14 Feb 2022 12:56:23
With all the pending UFA D-men Philly has and cap space due to LTIR, I think Philly would and should do it. But I don' think the Leafs need another offensive D-man that they have to give sheltered defensive minutes to. Good idea, just not the target I would hope we go after.


3.) 14 Feb 2022 14:44:40
If Couturier and Hayes come back this year does Philly have room for an $600k?


4.) 14 Feb 2022 15:52:40
I think Ellis is still on LTIR and all they have to do is move a guy like Braun and they have the cap space. I expect they try and move all or most of their pending UFA's. Can't see cap space being an issue.


 

 

12 Feb 2022 03:54:42
To Dallas. 12.962
Nylander
Ritchie
Holl
Dermott
Robertson

To tor. 13.025
Seguin
Tufle
Sekara
Petrovic

If Seguin agrees to be dealt to Toronto I think we see the old Seguin again. In Dallas he has lost his passion. He needs his passion back. Dallas is overpaying for what he is at this moment. Why not get a younger cheaper option who can put up the same numbers Seguin is at this moment. Yes nylander will never get close to Seguin level when Seguin is at his best but Seguin ain't there anymore with Dallas so why not pay for what he has become and that's nylander. The rest of the deal just makes the trade work cap wise at this moment.

Adding Robertson in is simple. First he gets to play with his bigger bro. Next is what if Seguin gets back to his level. Nylander for Seguin makes no sense so Robertson offsets that a bit.

For Toronto if Seguin finds his passion coming home and gets back to his 40 goal self again the leafs will be deadly. If he doesn't get back to that level and plays like he is now then it's a big expensive mistake and for 5 more years after this season. At least this deal gets the leafs out of 6 million in 3 guys nobody cares for next year. Guess that makes up the close to 3 million extra Seguin makes over nylander. Then replace those 3 with Tufle small raise and 2 ELC players and everything is even still only Seguin is at worst on nylanders level but at best he is a top 10 goal scorer in this league. So again I think leafs should do this

Bunting Matthews marner
Kerfoot Tavares Seguin
Mikheyev kampf Kase
Tufle spezza simmonds
Clifford

Rielly Brodie
Muzzin Sandin
Sekera liljegren
Petrovic

Campbell mrazek

No real change in cap but having Seguin play with Tavares would be awesome. Even if u switch him with Kase then u have 3 possible 40 plus goal scorers on 3 lines. Then that PP who do cover really. Matthews on ne side and Seguin on other. That's 2 deadly shots. Then Tavares in front of behind the net. Marner just going side to side finding any of the 3 open while Rielly stacks his points playing with these 4, Makar fox deangelo hedman Carlsson and now Rielly as Dmen lucky enough to play with 4 stud forwards on a PP.

Yeah I'm a Seguin lover you caught me

Justin Formed

1.) 12 Feb 2022 11:49:20
Interesting name!
Your first paragraph contain the very reasons why this deal is bad for the Leafs.
We cannot put our hope in the word IF and you’re right Nylander is a younger cheaper option.
And your third paragraph confirms the big mistake goes for five years.
I really think you should have talked yourself out of this trade but you told us why, you’re in love with Seguin. Maybe you should change your name to Justina.


2.) 12 Feb 2022 12:11:37
Are you living in the 90s still with that last
remark. Sorry but other social media sites would kick you off for that statement

But yeah I did kinda talk my way out of this deal but even still I’d do it because it’s the ifs and butts that win you cups before you win a cup now isn’t it.


3.) 12 Feb 2022 14:14:55
@justinformed. I would recognize that writing style anywhere. I got a kick out of the new name. lol
As for the deal, I'd pass if I'm the Leafs.


4.) 12 Feb 2022 19:58:46
I think you flip the robertsons for me and I take the deal.

As it sits now it’s a no for me. Seguin makes more and hasn’t played as well since the run to the finals. So I think they add Robertson rather than us.


5.) 12 Feb 2022 21:45:50
NO, the ifs and buts (not butts) do NOT win you cups.
A pretty silly statement.

I have nothing against the LGBTQ community and I kinda like the name Justina.


6.) 12 Feb 2022 21:58:44
If seguin was younger it would make more sense.


7.) 13 Feb 2022 03:59:55
Every trade being made is a big if and every win and loss is followed by a but because until a gm creates a team that wins the cup it’s all theory not reality.

Unless you have some sort of way of seeing into the future ifs run this league.

Only 1 GM in the end can say his ifs all worked out and now he doesn’t need to wiorry about creating a but.

Ifs are positive
Buts are negative

How are ifs and buts silly they apply to every fascists of life. We live with the hope ifs give but are constantly reminded of the buts life bring.


8.) 13 Feb 2022 13:00:01
Justin Formed

The notion of risk or the IF factor is inherent, as you say, in all business decisions and, in this case, trades. You mentioned they apply to all fascists! I think you meant facets.

Risk Assessment is both qualitative and quantitative as opposed to hope and prayer.

As I said on the Seguin deal you should have talked yourself out of that trade but you were too focused on the hope.

And btw I’m wondering with whom you’ve been consulting to be “just informed” or if you have become informed just recently.

Are you having fun yet?

I'm starting to think that it has nothing to do with Stevie Y as to why Tampa is great.

Every trade Tampa makes teams just hand over players for next to nothing. Nick Paul is prime example. We know Robertson and a 2nd would be ottawas price for Paul yet he goes to Tampa for a 25 year old and a 4th.

Tampa gets to dump big crappy contracts for nothing on teams(cobourn)and grab LTIR contracts(seabrook)for nothing and good depth players for nothing.

I think something is up here like if a gm knows he can't win the cup they hand it over to Tampa just for fun

Why is this

Lol. It’s an episode for the x files!


2.) 21 Mar 2022 16:29:52
The Seabrook one confused me a bit as well, not sure why it was just a gift.

Paul isn't exactly something special. That deal made sense to me.


 

 

06 Mar 2022 23:01:39
It's time to sign Curtis Douglas and call him up

Dude may not give leafs offence but 6'8 1/2 244 pounds of pure rough sandpaper is never a bad thing

Also, give Keith petruzzeli a loook. He is big 6'5 and the goaltending can't get any worse now can it.


Just a few in house suggestions before you trade farm to improve in these areas try your house sauce first you just never know

Use the farm to get that true top 4 D not to get tougher forwards or a goalie who could go cold at any moment

Justin Formed

1.) 07 Mar 2022 06:46:37
Doesn't he have a sub 910 save pct with the Marlies though? That doesn't exactly bode well.

Sandpaper only matters if they can actually play. If they can't, then we end up with the Burke Leafs.


 

 

06 Mar 2022 17:28:06
Why Hollowell when duszak is clearly the best marlie player this year.

A point a game dman in the AHL is nothing to frown at

These decisions by Dubas make no sense

Justin Formed

1.) 07 Mar 2022 09:36:07
It’s not for playing purposes it’s just so the leafs can stay as close to the cap as possible so if they want to use muzzins ltir they can use it all.

Great proposal
Nylanders value offer sheet wise is a 1st 2nd and a 3rd. However, nylander is much more valuable than that because he is simply better than he was when he first signed this contract and like it’s been mentioned over and over his final 2 years he is only owed 6 million each year not the 6.9 cap hit he has. I’m not sure if bonuses are paid to everyone on July 1st or if they are paid on anniversary days of the signed contract. If it’s the July 1st date now nylander is only owed 2.5 in year 1 and 6 in year 2. Massive savings.

So Going by offer sheet value
1st round value either kupari or valardi

2nd round value either grans, fabar, kaliyev, fagemo or Anderson-Dolan

3rd round value either leferiere, vilalta

Add in Wagner as a roster dump and choose another player from that 2nd round value and ask for 2nd in this years draft

5 players and a pick. Shoot for the moon and worse case u get deal you offered in the first place and best case you get some extra prospect depth

Great suggestion.

Willy is much like his father. Any lower than a 3rd wheel and seems the motivation just disappears and they play average hockey. Don’t get me wrong 50-67 points is still good. However, once put in a 3rd wheel or better role and they both bring there game up a few notches.

Every time an injury to one of the teams better than them stars seems both psd there stats when this occurs.

Prime example is when in Calgary papa nylander was pretty crappy barely getting a point every 4 games. Take nieuwendyk if roberts out of the equation and papa somehow became a better than point a game player in there absence.

Same can be said when in chicago. Mostly a 4th best player put up 60-65 points but just average. Every time a daze or amounted would go down he would have a 2 or more point night thus without the i juries he’d only be a 40 point guy.

In Washington he was just aweful and what do u know jagr lang and bondra never got hurt

Goes to Boston and plays good why., oh yeah he was better than everyone except Thornton and Murray. Thst 2 making him the 3rd wheel.

In his 2 best years while with New York with Rucinsky hurt in a 25 game span he gets 40 points. Rest of year becoming a 4th sometimes a 5th wheel he gets 39pts in 56 games. Still good but nowhere what he was doing.
The next year for the 15 games shanahan got hurt papa nylander went on a tear getting 28 points. Rest of year 55pts in 64 games. Again not a bad stat line but nothing close to that 15 game stretch.

His second stint in Washington he plays half the year and gets almost a point a game. Why because he was the 3rd best player. The next year Semin overtakes papa for the 3rd wheel and his game suffers, 33 pts in 72 games then suffers a dirty career ending hit and basically that’s all she wrote

Willy reminds me of his dad especially when papa was in New York. A 60 pt player if a 4th wheel all year but a few stretches here and there due to injuries to marner, Matthews or Tavares and those 15 some odd games he becomes the 3rd wheel he becomes an almost 2pt
a night player turning his 60 pt year into looking like a point a point a game player

Like father like son explained the long version way.

Putting players who are 1 way contracted on waivers yesterday means they can play AHL playoffs and move up and down rest of year without waivers. Clifford is a leader who approved Dubas doing this, if joins picks him up the marlies gain a great playoff weapon and if an injury happens clifford is back

If u wait till today now these players can’t play AHL playoffs, it’s all strategy due to leagues dumb cap rules.

Yeah never mind just saw full trade

Still would rather hagg for 6th and Dermott for Hamonic but whatever

Blackwell is ok PK guy who hits once a game but small

Gio back with Brodie and Rielly with Lybushy until end of year. Rielly can now be sheltered when they want him to be as Brodie Gio is known as a solid shutdown unit thst can score. All in all if muzzin makes return leafs have a solid 5 man unit as Sandin/ lily play with muzzin for playoff run as bottom pair. Thst Not bad at all since muzzin is head prone

Well now let’s wait to see if holl or mrazak will have new homes other than that I think Dubas is done so enjoy the ride fans.

Dermott for Winnipeg 3rd

I’m thinking that pick is going to Seattle
If leafs trade anyone else for picks those picks go to Seattle
Topi and Roni probably to Seattle
Leafs 2nd next year to Seattle

Gio 50% retained

Reason details aren’t done is because Seattle is waiting to see what Toronto can accumulate and since Gio will only approve Toronto. Seattle is basically letting everyone know we have a deal and Gio is gone so stop calling but we have until tomorrow to actually tell u what we got

Personally if Dermott went for a 3rd and harmonic went tor a slightly higher 3rd why didn’t leafs just trade Dermott for harmonic

Also Hagg for s 6th come on why didn’t Dubas just do that.
