Still think Risto would fit well into the leafs system. He can be physical and poses an offensive threat.
Tor
Kappy
Buff
Ristolainen
Straight up
Kappy is a luxury we don't need and Buf is done and have been wanting to trade Risto anyways. Leafs should vary much so consider packaging Barrie and Dermott for another RHD aswell as if Muzzin re signs and Sandin is the future Dermott is expandable and Barrie is complete ass
Maybe
Tor
Barrie, Dermott and Johnson
Ana
Manson
Soup comes back and we ok on the LW keep Rielly out till play offs to be cap compliant and D looks like this
Rielly Manson
Muzzin Ristolainen
Sandin Holl
1.) 10 Feb 2020 21:45:42
Anaheim doesn't want Barrie and even if they do that's a massive overpay.
I would be ok with Risto as well but not sure about that price. Probably a bit to much but debatable.
2.) 10 Feb 2020 22:07:56
Really an over pay? Figured peeps would be ripping it up as not enough as everyone in the media seems to over value manson. At this point the need for a capable RHD especially with term is of the up most importance to this team hands down. I don't see Johnny or dermotts ceiling any higher then what we see now and I threw barrie inn literally to get rid of him and have a temporary replacement for manson and who knows maybe they would re sign him as they are looking for speed and offense.
3.) 10 Feb 2020 22:17:18
Good post
If leafslife the ducks don’t want Barrie. Flip him back to the avs for a prospect or a 2nd Or to the jets for a prospect or 2nd.
4.) 10 Feb 2020 23:02:09
Manson isn't the savior people seem to think he is. He is better than Barrie I'm sure (my feelings about Barrie have been clear since the trade) and having another physical presence would be nice but Anaheim loves the guy so you need to overpay and he really isn't all everyone thinks he is.
The Risto trade is more they probably want a huge payday on him or he would have been moved already.
5.) 11 Feb 2020 01:07:56
Virtually every analyst I’ve read seems to think Manson is worth a pick at best. And not a 1st either. I’m talking like a 3rd at most. It’s probably an overlay for Risto too. Especially since Buffalo wants to dump him so bad. He’s just more of the same anyway. Another offensive defenseman that can’t play defense. If you think Barrie is bad, you will be hating on Risto a lot more. That Olofsaon fellow is looking fantastic though. Would love to see him on the Leafs. He gets my vote for the Calder trophy. Even though Makar or Hughes will probably get it.
6.) 11 Feb 2020 01:47:57
It is an overpayment of value for Manson, but also don't see the Ducks trading for Barrie unless they want to flip him.
7.) 11 Feb 2020 02:34:22
Apparently that cap loophole has only been used once, by Chicago with Kane the one year. Very iffy the Leafs try to do the same when the playoff race is so tight. We absolutely need Reilly to be playing again as soon as he can. If Dubas tried to take advantage of the situation and leave Reilly out and bring in someone to put us over the top, only to miss the playoffs, he would be gone. No doubt about it. Dubas is too conservative to risk going all in on a move like that.
8.) 11 Feb 2020 04:37:09
Risto is a great target considering you are also ridding Barrie and getting something back for him. Posters seem to forget how weak we are on the right side.
Adding these two gives this team a total different look on our D core while adding players that own that muscle/ edge/ grit on the backend that is and shouldd be welcomed. I don't care if they are a little slower footed, these types slow down the opposition at the same time and are each role players in their own right and we still have a pletora of players with speed to keep the balance that should of been there in the first place. I dig the trade scenario and the approach.
9.) 11 Feb 2020 09:52:25
I like the deal for Risto although I’d swap kapanen with Johnsson and add something to it. I think I’d feel a lot better knowing there’s not as great of a chance of Johnsson coming back and destroying the leafs kappy could do that lol.
10.) 11 Feb 2020 14:46:49
Manson has 6 points. 6. That’s it. Barrie has one less goal than Manson has points. He has 84 hits. That’s less than Muzzin and only slightly more than dermott even though Dermott has played significantly less games. Manson’s CF is less than 50%. Every Leaf player you are suggesting has a positive CF%. For a Leaf team that plays possession style hockey, I think that is more important than hits. Talk it up all you want, there is no way Dubas would ever make this extremely lopsided trade that heavily favours Anaheim.
08 Dec 2019 18:59:20
A big trade with LA would be great.
Get Cambell and Toffoli both on expiring contracts
Tor
Bracco + ceci + 2nd rounder
LA
Cambell + Toffoli
Then we send wiilly to the blues
Tor
Nylander
STL
Petriangelo
Petriangelo will sign with his hometown team so will toffoli, tyler plays with AM, cap in cap out all is great
And I don't care about willys performance thus far or age , I'm taking a 30 year old Toronto boy cup winner all day over mr hold out hows my hair assuming he's resigning with us for 8 mil or so for 5 years can also see toffoli slotting inn vary nicely on the top line with a reasonable 3 year 5 mil contract
1.) 08 Dec 2019 20:18:49
The trade itself I don’t have a problem with. But I don’t think I would be willing to pay Toffoli $5M per right now. He hasn’t been doing very good the last couple years. I wouldn’t be surprised if he only gets about half that.
Pietrangelo and Campbell are hot items of late.
2.) 08 Dec 2019 20:28:02
LOL,
Im watching family man right now and nicolas cages character is jack campbell. maybe its a sign maybe its nothing. any way you look at it this is a good idea getting jack campbell anyways.
3.) 09 Dec 2019 02:10:16
How is Nylander worth a UFA? that's insane. I like Petro as much as the next guy but that's a serious overpay that I am not willing to make.
10 Sep 2019 00:40:01
Car: Faulk
Tor: Hallowell, Bracco, 2021 2nd rnd pick
Throw in the goat if need be. Faulk already trade bait since Gardiner signed. Don't care about him being UFA next year, it's all in this year why wait for the trade deadline, should not let another good available RHD get snatched up by another team. Also we don't need any more shrimps on this team so I wouldn't miss either one of these guys especially when we know Dermott will eventually play top four and can play either side and Sandin and Lilygren are knocking on the door and could provide great value on ELC's and frankly our bottom six wingers need size so I don't see bracco fitting in anytime soon. Even this trade probably doesn't get it done as the canes are most likely looking for a centre
1.) 10 Sep 2019 01:21:33
If this is what it would take to get a soon to be UFA than i think leafs should pass.
Upcoming ufas usually take a prospect or pick
Guys with 2 years remaining usually get a prospect and a 1st
Who knows what carolina would want but if they dealing faulk i really hope the leafs try to get him. Just not for that much unless they have no plans for giving bracco a chance or they feel hollowell doesn't fit their team (highly dought)
2.) 10 Sep 2019 02:03:59
That seems like a lot for a rental but I may be wrong. Muzzin was a first+ Faulk should be considerably less. Bracco+3rd for Faulk or some such I could live with.
3.) 10 Sep 2019 02:39:54
Hollowell looks good. I’m anxious to see how he does in the big leagues. Looking good now though. Just finished his final year in junior and crushed it. He could be the next Spurgeon. Everyone knocked down Spurgeon because of his size, but he seems to be doing pretty well for himself. I could see Hollowell doing the same. Especially in the “new†nhl, which favors speed and skill over size and strength (though I still favor big and strong myself, but I’m old school) .
Bracco I don’t know. He’s looking good. Hope he gets a shot on the big team this year at some point. Even if it’s just for a callup.
Faulk is pretty overrated. He really is a RHD Gardiner. Would be willing to give Carolina a package similar to what they got for DeHaan, which isn’t much. If they want to dump him, they owe us a 1st. Same price we paid them to take Marleau. Fair is fair. They need to dump cap. So we take our 1st back along with Faulk and give Carolina some lesser picks/ prospects. Lol. ;-) .
04 Aug 2019 22:56:40
Tor
Kappy
Bos
Rights to Carlo
Bridge him for 2 years at 3.5
Gives us a potential top 4 defensive d man bos gets some added scoring for their second line
Not crazy about trading with our rivals but if it makes sense do it
1.) 04 Aug 2019 23:35:00
No chance in hell Boston does this. Carlo worth more than Kappy alone in my opinion.
2.) 05 Aug 2019 01:50:32
So carlo who's been the third pairing defence with 32 points in 3 full seasons is not worth top 5 fastest winger who scored 20 goals last year and is signed to a reasonable deal? Give your head a shake.
3.) 05 Aug 2019 02:19:10
Yes I believe Carlo is worth kappy and Dermott?
But the bruins would be crazy to trade him to any team.
4.) 05 Aug 2019 02:29:23
I don’t know if Carlo is worth more than Kappy. Bit of a wash if you ask me. What I do know is that Boston has a great defense, but their forward depth is lacking. After their monster first line, they don’t have much going for them up front. They might actually make this trade. Kapanen has potential to be a 30 goal scorer if given the opportunity. Kapanen is a top line player. He proved that last year. Nylander’s return derailed his incredible season (and the whole team if you ask me) .
Hate the thought of trading with Boston too. But in a rumour site like this, who cares? Lol. Just discussing the merits of the trade is what I enjoy. I liked this suggestion. I think it is a fair offer and good for both teams.
5.) 05 Aug 2019 03:58:30
Lol if speed is all that mattered teams would be signing speed skaters and teaching them hockey. Nothing against Kapanen but I don't think he his Ceiling is as high as Carlo could potentially be. Not trying to say it's far off but I believe a B prospect or 3rd or 4th Rd pick would nee to be added.
03 Aug 2019 22:06:13
Seeing more Carolina trades I thought we were done with that but if not here we go , no way they take a chance on marner with his ridiculous demands but I'm sure they would still want Nylander , and they want to move Faulk before Pesce so don't expect him to be gone anytime soon but Faulk is a great peice, he is more offence minded but has shown great defensive instincts.
Tor
Nylander + Lilygren
Car
Faulk + Svechnikov
Even then I doubt carolina would take this deal as svechnikov has huge potential and still RFA and would be taking on more cap
Would be great for leafs they get a couple extra mill to then sign shattenkirk and stone for under 2 mil each and then our defence depth is solid
Hyman Tavares Marner
Johnsson Matthew's Svechnikov
Mikheyev Kerfoot Kappy
Moore Spezza Aberg
Rielly Faulk
Muzzin Barrie
Dermott Shattenkirk
Stone, Ceci, etc.
1.) 04 Aug 2019 03:57:40
I would take the deal if Faulk was signed for even one more year. He will command a massive raise from what he currently gets. A great prospect and Nylander for svechnikov and a rental seems a bit favorable for Carolina. Although having the above pairings would be amazing to make a push for a cup this year.
2.) 04 Aug 2019 19:26:42
Paying Ceci $4.5M to sit on the bench seems like a waste of money and not the best asset management.

Man what's with all the Ritchie and Manson trades? What am I missing here? Third/fourth line winger and a slow 3rd pair defender! We don't want these guys! I would take manson over ceci that's about it and Ritchie can play on the third line but not at hymans expense you guys play too much EA sports NHL games looking at the players "potential" what you do trade for Ritchie because in your third year of the season in GM mode his rating is like 87 PEEESH OFF MATE
1.) 31 Jul 2019 18:56:39
Lol I agree. out of the two I would take Manson though. Ritchie a bottom 6 guys everyone wants to trade Hyman for.
08 Jun 2019 04:31:19
If the Kadri for Trouba deal has any merit I would love to have Perrault replace Naz as our 3c. Dudes a Grinder with a head for the net, plays hard and basically matched 43 numbers last year. I don't see Winnipeg doing the trade naz for Trouba straight up , they would want one of kappy or Johnny rightfully so. But get Perrault in the deal basically evens up the 3C and not paying one of kappy or Johnny the 3.5 mil or so affords us the cap space to sign Trouba.
Also believe the Marlue and zaitsev moves are not just going to be roster dumps. We will get something back we can work with. And I do believe miller is coming to town literally because his Soo connection. So if the Trouba thing don't happen it's pece for kappy , Carolina wants him bad. We don't need him. We need a RHD and pece is an analytic darling.
1.) 08 Jun 2019 05:30:28
Don't hold out too much hope for a Kadri/ Trouba deal. It is very unlikely.
2.) 08 Jun 2019 15:17:44
The Jets don't want or need a volatile player like Kadri especially for Trouba. I believe that the Jets would trade Perreault, but what would the Leafs seriously offer to get him?
3.) 11 Jun 2019 17:42:10
Jets traded Hayes so they might be looking for a 2C. Kadri ticks the boxes for them.
01 Jun 2019 00:38:51
Zaitsev to KHL for ..... box of vodka. Then we can give it to bread boy Artemi as a signing bonus after Mitchy boy dips out of town!
31 May 2019 16:11:25
Good day
New to the site , been reading for a while but finally decided to register to post!
I like a lot of the ideas tossed about and have a few of my own.
Z being a rubbish pot and not being able to handle the beast of the Toronto media and fans is great news for us. Tootle ooh chap! Don't care what the return is as cap space is much more sexy then a Russian Jake Gardiner! That's all we need is another weak defender crying "literally" on national television because he folds under pressure. That being said we need two North American RHD who can communicate properly and be tight with the boys in the room. I personally think Carolina's Brett Pesce and Vegas's Colin miller would be fantastic rearguards to settle into the top 4 along with Mo and Muzz. As for the the third pair Dermott will be back by Christmas but in the meantime we can see what Sandin, Lilygren, Rosen, Borgman and Holl can do in the interm. I have no trade scenerios just targeted options. Pece wanted out before playoffs and miller was mostly scratched. Appreciate your thoughts and possibly trade offers
1.) 07 Jun 2019 22:50:39
I love how they disagree but no comment. U are 100% correct. They need 2 good d men to play top 4 at around a $4m cap hit.
I tried Zaitsev and Kadri for Pesce but Kapanen can go in Kadri place if no-one agrees there.
Miller or Martinez from LA fit and might work as I believe they want to lose cap. I tried Marleau and bracco for Martinez. People said nope, not bracco. Completely disagree but for some reason people believe bracco will be a good nhl player. Shall see. Doesn't know how to play defence.
2.) 08 Jun 2019 04:12:48
I would trade Bracco all day in a pece deal or even Martinez . They are proven players in the position we need most, Bracco could be a dud. I truly believe dubas is going to get us two RHD problem is we might not like what goes the other way. I truly believe with our top six Forwards and a legit top 4 defence that we can afford to see what the likes of the young prospects can do. With a 3rd and fourth line full of guys like Moore, young hungry and playing for their careers, we could do better then last year. GM’s know now that speed and determination in today’s nhl outweighs the loyalty afforded to the vets. Let the kids play and make sure complacency does not set inn and you have a handful of feisty young grinders!
3.) 11 Jun 2019 16:53:28
Agree wholeheartedly.
Hard to know what other teams are thinking obviously. Would Zaitsev and Kapanen get u Pesce? No clue. Would Marleau with a sweetener get u a guy like Martinez if la wants to lose that last year? No clue. But if they did, you have a top 4 d for essentially Kapanen
These deals can be found. And we are not trading 10 players like I see on here. It's ludicrous.
4.) 11 Jun 2019 16:58:23
U read all the time how superstars make the team. There is so little difference between 3rd and 4th line players that their impact on the game is negligible. The new Russians. Marchment. Moore. Petan. Ennis. Brown. Etc. Are any of these guys so much better than the others? Advanced statistics tell us no. And I think dubas manages that way. So I believe Kadri may be gone. Kapanen. They and Zaitsev / Marleau will be used to get our two d. My 2 cents.
24 Feb 2021 02:38:53
Your onto something with Anehiem.
Ana: Rakell 2 years @ $3.7
Getzlaf 1 year @ $8.2
Tor: Nylander 4 years @ $6.9
Aneheim retains 5 mil on Getzlaf to even the cap.
Thornton Matthew's Marner
Kerfoot Tavares Rakell
Mikeyev Getzlaf Simmonds
Robertson Boyd Spezza
Barabonov Brooks Anderson
Petan
Vesey.

04 Aug 2019 22:43:11
Mph this I like, was thinking of a good trade deal to get Pulock out of NYI, would be nice if they threw Dal colle in the deal to see how he would fit here, might generate chemistry with Marner.
02 Aug 2019 14:35:18
Completely wrong you have no evidence to suggest ceci is better then shattenkirk, none what so ever and you won't find it because it doesn't exist! Ceci had the worst corsi in the NHL last year, dead last bud, shattenkirk on a bummed knee is superior to ceci! Furthermore all it takes is a good defense coach which I believe we have now and a good system to buy into and guess what defenders will defend, islanders fir example, team defence wins cups look at the blues, people act like it was all peitangelo and parayko when really what I saw was decent puck moving from the back end and lots of back checking and determination from the forwards. The blues got hemmed in lots, it was the position of the forwards and the close support that made the defences job easier, then when they regained possession it was the defences ability to move the puck up effectively.
08 Jun 2019 04:12:48
I would trade Bracco all day in a pece deal or even Martinez . They are proven players in the position we need most, Bracco could be a dud.

Yup! No salary retained.
