Leafs trade Johannson to VGK
VGK trades Reeves
Reason:
Leafs have to many small quick wingers, he is yet to prove he is an NHL player. With Reeves Leafs finally get some serious sandpaper for the 4th line. Maybe Marner Mathews and other smaller players will take a lot less physical abuse
VKG they get a fast player with potential.
Salaries are about same.
Thoughts?

Johnnson was Ahl playoff MVP. Still lots to give and I suspect being taught some sort of lesson by babcock
Reeves to me serves no value to the leafs. When this team is complete they will have 4 lines tough to play against as they will be fast and skilled
Leafs pass.

I like this deal. Sandpaper never hurts. good choice.

@oldtimer99,
Everyone stop overthinking what this team needs and needs to unload .
Reeves would bring grit. There is no doubt about it. there wouldn’t be a question about “if†he will be successful and fit . He will . It’s what they need.
Ideally this need is filled by a acquiring a bruising D man . wait and see approach on if/ when they do this . Either way, adding reeves (or this type player ) would be great!
Well done sir
And as always when I post, I take a minute to remind everyone that Gardiner is brutal and Leivo is just awe full . trade them both to anyone for anything . can’t and won’t make he team any worse . Bring up any D from the system and you may lose a handful of goals for from Gardiner but you save on the defensive pre pubescent lapses
. and Leivo just can’t do it at this level, might as well get something while he still has some value (no idea why he has value, I just hear people on here mentioning him in trades so I guess people see something .
Would really be interested to hear specifics of why any of this is wrong .

Can't argue RE your view of Gardiner but the simple fact is he has value. He is likely to get close to $7m on new contract. Having said that he is unsigned and as such has lower value to the leafs than what he would be worth with a 5 Year contract in place
Quite frankly I have no idea what they can get for him. But honestly, he has never played with another who can assist him be the player he should be. Can't help but wonder with a capable defensive defencenen if he would be looked at the same Seleucid who knows. Hasn't played much for a very long time but a big body. If he gets aggressive enough and with some of the skills he has, his current contract certainly doesn't hurt the leafs.

Josh levio
for
Erik Gudbranson..Vancouver
This is a trade of spare parts.
Levio will not be part of the leafs, Babcock will not play him (to slow). Could use a fresh start.
Gudbranson is out of favor also. He would bring some grit to the defense core.
Remember how Boston push the Leafs around in the playoffs
1.) 26 Jul 2018 21:09:39
I would do this for the sole reason that Gudbranson is a monster. We don’t really need him, but we don’t really need Leivo either, and I would rather have a giant like Gudbranson on the bench than Leivo.
2.) 26 Jul 2018 21:24:43
Like I mean Leivo at least for a pick or something, like him with Mcbackup for a third or him with Horton and a fourth to someone.
3.) 27 Jul 2018 16:42:01
Wouldn't want Gudranson's contract.

MarsBars
As usual, you make the best point here. I forgot how much Gudbranson makes. Leafs definitely pass on this trade.

Montreal 1st pick to Toronto............Toronto to Montreal--Soch,Levio.

Unfortunately for Lievo, he's working for a team that is loaded up front, as most know. The scenario will be for Josh, a leaf winger gets hurt or plays poorly then he'll get the nod until then he will get very limited playing time?
So what do the Leafs do? Trade away an NHL ready player? My suggestion it's still very early in the season and anything will happen, so leafs should keep him unless the Leafs find a suiter where both teams win? Goes back to what I said earlier the Leafs are currently stacked with forwards and also up and coming Defenceman. I think to be patient and not make knee jerk reaction that will be counterproductive.

Gcolpitts,
You make some valid points about Leivo's situation. Leivo must understand the circumstances. Kapanen is also in the same boat. Every team needs organizational depth to overcome injuries. I'm guessing he's been told that he's first in when an injury or suspension occurs to another forward.

Just read a interesting article in "Between the Posts", the writer suggested that Nylander be moved or developed into a defenceman along the line of Lidstrom or the kid in Ottawa.

wait what.

What you smoking I want some.

Tzcuck {sp}. he should be the only target for the leafs. Brings that spunk that the leafs need. Just think of him and Simions. I would sent Nylander, Vessey and a second round pick.
19 Oct 2019 18:52:05
I like it, don't think Carolina would accept it. May have to include a forward from 3rd or 4th line.
12 Oct 2019 20:31:25
guess you are not a Leaf fan.
08 Aug 2019 19:33:34
Why would you want 2 Nylanders?
22 Jan 2019 20:57:30
Do not like the idea of trading Rasanen, he could be our Chara. He is big mean and still developing. He was a second round pick just like Dermont. Leipsic is not needed. T get Muzzin you need to give a real player back. My suggestion is Nylander for Muzzin and a 2nd rounder.
