Dreaming Trades
I love William Morre so here's a trade to get a 1st for this year
2nd Round Draft Pick (20255)
7th Round Draft Pick (2026)
Mikko Kokkonen
Braedan Kressler
For
1st Round Draft Pick (2025)
Moore is projected to go in the mid 1st round so trade with any team that's just outside playoff contention at the trade deadline. Dont do this at the draft because teams always skyrocket their prices for 1st rounders at the draft.
1.) 24 Dec 2024 22:54:18
I think the chances of acquiring Braden Schneider, a physical, top 4, RHD, for Connor Timmins, a 3rd round pick and a 5th round pick are less than zero.
Even Drury isn’t that bad a GM.
2.) 25 Dec 2024 16:38:28
Kamph, Jarnkrok, Reaves, Minten, Reilly, 2nd for Kreider and Schneider.
3.) 25 Dec 2024 18:45:34
I dont love Kreider but that's a reasonable trade!
4.) 25 Dec 2024 23:06:33
Kreider is a healthy scratch for the Rangers.
Not sure why Leafs would want him?
5.) 27 Dec 2024 13:47:07
Kakko was a healthy scratch and then traded within days. Hmmmmm. Maybe not to the Leafs, but Kreider is going somewhere.

Conor Timmins
For
Taylor Hall
(50%)
Ryan Reaves
For
6th
Thoughts?
1.) 19 Aug 2024 16:58:22
Reaves could just be sent down and free up 1.15m.
2.) 20 Aug 2024 01:37:45
This would be a good trade for the leafs. This would create some spot for new additions and give the team the chance to improve the bottom 6 scoring and toughness.
3.) 20 Aug 2024 13:29:59
@Hrenklin True. Though because he makes 1.35M, your losing out, on 200k in cap space and a low round draft pick.
4.) 20 Aug 2024 14:22:48
Youre forgetting. Who'd want to take Reaves willingly.
5.) 20 Aug 2024 21:46:54
$200k cap space doesn’t even get u a bucket of pucks in the nhl.

Sign Sprong 3yr/2.5M AAV

1.) 14 Jul 2024 15:27:27
Bjugstad is perfect for 3c, bigger stronger a d better at faceoffs. A better set up would be
Knies matthews domi
McCann JT Nylander
Sprong bjugstad marner
Dewar holmberg jarkrok
It's more balanced for scoring thru the entire line up. Bjugstad has experience playing with elite players so the read I'd get is similar to Kadri when he played with marner and got the 32 goals in back to back seasons.
2.) 14 Jul 2024 20:15:43
Sprong already signed.
3.) 17 Jul 2024 23:58:37
As far as i can see, he hasn't. Where did u find this?

Joe Veleno 2yr/825k AAV
Pontus Holmberg 3yr/950k AAV
Matthew Knies 4yr/2.1M AAV

This works for cap wise, but what do you think of the roster:
Buchnevich-Matthews-Marner
Guentzel-Tavares- Nylander
McMann-Domi-Knies
Holmberg-Veleno-Duclair
Rielly-Pesce
McCabe-Montour
Benoit-Oestrale
Saros-Woll
Yes that was not a mistake too sign Marner, I know i'll receive backlash, it could just because I've met him in person but I truly do think he is in incredible hockey player and that the leafs should resign him.
1.) 22 Jun 2024 04:14:25
$3.5/ yr for Montour? You’re about $4/ yr shy ….
2.) 22 Jun 2024 04:54:28
Not even close on the dollars for Pesce and Mountour.
3.) 22 Jun 2024 10:31:37
Most of those waiting are waaaaay too low.
4.) 22 Jun 2024 13:55:52
Marner will not get more money from the Leafs I think they extend him at 8.5-9 per year or let him walk he’s a great player the contract is the problem.
5.) 22 Jun 2024 15:45:49
Add Guentzel to the list of vastly underpaid.
6.) 22 Jun 2024 15:48:34
LeafsGM are you secretly Brendan Shanahan trying to get all us realists to take your side in these dumb decisions to run the core 4 back again. I don’t care if Mitch resigns for 7M we don’t FN want him. The team does not work this way.
7.) 22 Jun 2024 16:04:01
No crap but we can’t trade him if he doesn’t want to go so try being realistic instead of posting wild trades that won’t happen plus signing him for a reasonable price will be easier to trade him in the future.
8.) 22 Jun 2024 17:48:03
Marner is not signing with leafs end of story. They r not giving him $12+ mil not going to happen.
9.) 23 Jun 2024 01:17:21
Not even close to enough for Sarros.
06 Apr 2024 20:30:08
Sign:
Monahan: 2M
Bertuzzi: 6M
Domi: 4M
Edmundson: 2.75M
Lyubushkin: 2.5M
Samsonov: 4M
Playoff Lineup Next Year
Bertuzzi-Matthews-Marner
McMann-Tavares-Domi
Knies-Monahan-Nylander
Holmberg-Dewar-Reaves
Rielly-Borgen
Benoit-McCabe
Edmunson-Lyubushkin
Samsonov - Woll
Leaves about 30,333$ in Cap Space
Thoughts?
Suggestions?
1.) 06 Apr 2024 21:21:36
Sorry Forgot to add.
Sign:
Dewar to 1.2M
As well, Trade Jankrok, Kampf and Timmins for Borgen.
2.) 06 Apr 2024 22:05:29
Your valuation is garbage. Monahan at 55% Facebook wins and 63 points. Leafs didn't want to sign boosh at 2.75m why would they do 2.5.
Monahan does look like a good target, but the cost will be about 6+.
3.) 07 Apr 2024 00:52:00
#Hrenklin
He's only aming 1.985M this year.
4.) 07 Apr 2024 04:44:24
I would venture to say that there is not even one (out of 32) GMs in the league who would pay Monahan $6+M
His age and injury history make it far to big a risk.
$6M for Bertuzzi is much to rich for Leafs cap flexibility.
$5M should be the maximum and if another team wants to pay him more with term then thanks for the run and all the best!
Similarly Domi at $4M is overly generous for a player who has managed to score all of 9 goals this season.
$3 x 3 years is all I would want to see the Leafs commit to Domi.
Resigning both Lyubushkin and Edmundson is a luxury.
With Benoit stepping up his game Edmundson is probably gone.
Leafs need to spend money on their defense but they should be looking at a proper partner for Morgan Reilly, something Lyubushkin (a 3rd pairing defender) isn’t
Matt Roy, Sean Walker or Will Borgen fit the mold I would like to see for Leafs top pairing.
Samsonov’s return and salary will be determined by how he plays in the playoffs.
As of right now I view Samsonov as a $3.5 - $3.75 x 3 year goaltender.
A good showing in the playoffs pushes that up to $4M while an inconsistent showing moves the needle down.
5.) 07 Apr 2024 13:59:47
WB, your assessment mirrors mine.
6.) 07 Apr 2024 23:34:35
If you don't want to give a raise to Bertuzzi or Domi who has been promoted more than one time then they'll be leaving. Guaranteed no matter what you say, they will not accept their current contracts again.
7.) 08 Apr 2024 12:43:50
L_F
You may be correct that they will not accept less than they are currently making.
And they may still be looking for a team at the start of next season.
I personally would not pay a 40-45 point player who has played L1 or L2 most of the season $5m, let alone $6m.
And Domi is only worth more IMO than his current $3m if his goal total was perhaps 50% higher.
But you feel it’s more and that’s fine; it’s your assessment.
8.) 08 Apr 2024 13:40:11
I would say off of first look, I think you are under on Monahan and over on the rest as well. Although, without term length on the contracts its hard to tell who would except what.
9.) 08 Apr 2024 14:44:09
Neither Bertuzzi or Domi has done enough to deserve more money, especially Domi. The Lybushkin love fest should be over by now as he’s been bad. Edmundson hasn’t played enough yet to know.! I don’t trust Samsonov enough. Trade for Sarros or Markstrom. Re-sign Brodie for 4million over 2 years .
10.) 08 Apr 2024 22:44:38
Ckps1976
I was nodding my until I got to the last two sentences.
First the goalies you mention are certainly solid but who are you giving up?
And I don’t see any reason, at any salary, to resign Brodie. He’s been on a steady decline for the last two years, IMO.
11.) 09 Apr 2024 02:39:43
@Rsears you wouldn't keep Brodie for league min? I would.
12.) 09 Apr 2024 12:06:54
LL
Brodie had a good game last night.
At league minimum I suppose, as a 7thD.
But honestly I’d rather give someone a look-see at the minimum.
Maybe Tre can duplicate a Benoit-like move.
13.) 09 Apr 2024 23:48:02
Agree, If Tre can find a Benoit like player at league minimum, than I would WAY rather that than Brodie.

I dont love Kreider but that's a reasonable trade!
22 Sep 2024 00:44:11
Nylander is 11.5. and I don't think Marner will sign for 12. I think he'll want closer to 12.5 to 13. That's just my opinion though.
20 Aug 2024 13:29:59

Mcgroaty has said he wants a full time power play role and a top 9 role. Dont want em. Thanks anyways.
