Leafs rumours 2

I’ve read that NYR have given permission to Vitali Kravtsov to speak to other teams for the purpose of a trade.

So let’s package Kerfoot and Ty Voit for this talented 21yr old big Russian center.

Cap space and a strong replacement for loss of Brooks. Maybe Kravtsov will turn into something special.

Have to question his character if he’s 21 and refusing to go to the minors. No thanks.

12 Oct 2021 21:07:06
Perhaps you are right. And perhaps he is being influenced by his agent.
I see more upside than you and feel we need to do this deal.
But it also might be a strategy the Rangers are using to get him to show up.

13 Oct 2021 19:26:20
The agent is very well known to the Leafs, Dan Milstein. I think it's a deliberate rouse to try to get a "reclamation" tryout for his client.

Injuries aside, when I look at the roster, the one thing that stands out is the loss of Bogo and his physicality. We have one physical defenceman, Muzzin. Leafs could obviously use to move some cap so they can carry a more full roster and stop losing our depth to waivers and then having to trade for assets for depth at the TDL.

CLB
Kerfoot $3.5M
Liljegren $.863M

Tor
Texier $1.525M
Peeke $.787M

Clb gets the better overall value as per quality of players. They could use more speed and offence in their lineup. Kerfoot is only owed $3.45 over the next two seasons. This helps their financial situation. Liljegren should make their team if Peeke is moved. They have the cap space.

Tor gives up the better players to move out some cap (about $2.1M) which allows them to carry a full squad. Pick up a bottom 6 forward in Texier who is paid like a bottom 6 forward and a more physical bottom pair D in Peeke. They can rotate Sandin/Dermott/Peeke in the bottom pairs. Both new players are waiver exempt if necessary. Leafs become more cap compliant and shouldn't have to lose any more players for free to waivers.

Reilly, Kerfoot & Amirov & a 1st rd pick in 2023 to Buffalo for Eichel.

Muzzin, Abramov & a 2nd rd pick in 2023 to St. Louis for Tarasenko. Get a 3ed party team to eat half of Tarasenko contract.

Going all in on trying to out score your problems eh? That defense would be the worst in the league.

12 Oct 2021 03:39:32
Muzzin, Abramov and a 2nd for Tarasenko?
Seems like a huge overpayment for a player that virtually has not played hockey for two years.
Also, giving up Rielly in the Eichel trade and Muzzin in the Tarasenko trade with no defenseman coming back would leave the Leafs seriously shorthanded on the back end.

11 Oct 2021 19:54:52
Reilly, Kerfoot, Amirov, Abrimov & a 2nd rd pick in 2023 for Kane & A. Nylander. With a third party team trade prospect & or puck to pick up half of Kane contract.

Muzzin, Woll, Hollowell, Robertson
& a 1st rd pick in 2023 & 2024 to Buffalo for Eichel. Then trade prospect or pick so third party team eats half his contract. Or acquire some LTIR contracts for cap relief.

Not sure Tarasenko is worth it but who knows? He's a wild card right now much like Eichel.

11 Oct 2021 17:43:13
Your D is not great …. Sandin not ready for top pairing.

09 Oct 2021 21:32:19
Taveres,Reilly & Kerfoot & a 1st rd pick in 2023 & 2024 to Chicago for Nylander & Kane. With Buffalo eating half of Kane contract, then trade a prospect or pick for third party team to pick up half of the remaining half of contract.

Abramov, Amirov, Robertson, Liljegren, Woll, Hollowell & a 2nd rd pick in 2023 & 2024 to Buffalo for Eichel.

Please stick to your humorous proposals or was this one disguised?

09 Oct 2021 23:34:52
Tavares has a no trade clause in his contract and can not be moved
If Buffalo trades Eichel they need a 1st/ 2nd line center back with a much higher ceiling than Abramov.

So there is a report Alex Nylander could be put on waivers. Thoughts on

Chi: Nylander

Tor: Engvall

This isn't the whole formula, but I think it's a decent base to work with. Or send then someone waiver exempt.

09 Oct 2021 14:14:55
I am not interested in Alex. Beyond the fact we don't need anymore reclamation projects imo, what happens with Willy if the Leafs also waive him? Does Willy push it aside? Or no matter how hard he tries, it still affects him.

09 Oct 2021 05:54:54
Tor: kerfoot

Chi: nylander

Think they do it?
Think we do it? High risk high reward

You then move engvall for a 5th

Waive simmonds with the same spezza stand point, if anyone claims him he will retire and not show up, same with spezza, the leafs have two older guys they can move down as they need to save any money they might need to run a 23 man roster at most points

09 Oct 2021 13:45:08
The issue is more cap rated. Taking on another 2.5+m is more than Chicago can afford.

09 Oct 2021 14:09:48
It would fix our cap issues this year though. I still don't have any desire to add Alex though.

09 Oct 2021 21:31:41
Add engvall and a pick and we take strome.
