Leafs rumours 4

If a team has the money or good cap manipulation then players are being had for the cheap

3rd for Montour

Dubas has the latter so bring in a big one Dubas the time is now

10 Apr 2021 20:09:01
Sounds like Savard traded to TB for a 1st.

10 Apr 2021 20:46:40
Montour isn’t exactly a big fish. A third for a guy that failed out of Buffalo doesn’t really excite. It seems like Buffalo got a pretty good deal actually.

Dubas needs to go big or go home.

Does he have the balls?

My thoughts is he should. Desperate GM’s do desperate things. Whether he makes the big move or not, if this team fails in the playoffs again, I doubt Dubas comes back.

At least by making a big move he can say he tried.

Doing nothing, again, and failing flat on their faces, again, would be the worst possible thing to have happen. Again.

10 Apr 2021 21:19:10
You called it first Craiggers lol. Montour went for a third.

10 Apr 2021 21:30:55
Yeah lots of retention as well on savard deal by Columbus and Detroit thus the higher picks. No retention it’s a lower pick. that's the market

Let the teams in the same division spend assets to improve because in the end only 1 of them get out of their division

lol.

To Tor
Laughton(50%)1.15
Patrick. .874
Ghost 4.5

To Phil
Kerfoot 3.5
Engvall 1.25
Dermott. .874

This deal gets Philly out of full Ghost contract while adding 3 capable players. The cost of 2 more years full contract if Ghost is a 1st minimum so for this deal it's Patrick. Laughton and any value needed to fully cover Patrick is covered by the 3 leaf players.

Leafs can cover this extra .9 cap due to Nash trade. Patrick is a project. Leafs pay Seattle to take ghost probably same amount it would cost to get Patrick straight up in a 1st anyways. Laughton is great add for playoff run.

It's a stretch but worth Dubas looking into

10 Apr 2021 15:46:16
I like it.

10 Apr 2021 16:08:05
I like it.

10 Apr 2021 17:35:09
I don’t think Philly takes this.

10 Apr 2021 18:42:44
Leafs don’t need an dman who is a major liability in his own end.

10 Apr 2021 18:43:03
Thought like Laughton and Patrick.

10 Apr 2021 20:57:21
Can’t give up both Kerfoot and Engvall while receiving only Patrick. Would destroy our centre depth. As far as I know, Laughton hasn’t played any meaningful centre role in a few years. He’s a winger now, like Kerfoot. He can’t be trusted to carry his own line at this point.

I’ve seen quite a few Philadelphia games this year. Usually against Pittsburgh or New Jersey. I have serious reservations about Patrick’s ability to play centre. While I have no doubt that he is better than Kerfoot, I don’t think he’d better than Engvall.

Philadelphia plays him 4C if that tells you anything.

10 Apr 2021 22:19:30
What in the name of Martin Maricin are Leafs going to do with Ghostibere?

Pay Seaattle to take him? Seriously?

What a waste of a resource (s) to give Seattle.

10 Apr 2021 15:31:32
Toronto puts Andersen on ltir after game on Saturday.

Available for Playoffs.

Then on Sunday or Monday,

Toronto trades Calle Rosen and a 3rd in 2022
To
St. Louis for Vince Dunn

Toronto trades Kerfoot and a 5th in 2021
To
Philadelphia for Scott Laughton

Toronto trades Engvall and Brooks 6th in 2022
To
New Jersey for Miles Wood and Arron Dell

10 Apr 2021 16:08:17
I like it.

10 Apr 2021 17:23:46
I don’t mind this at all.

10 Apr 2021 22:22:07
You don't need 3rd for Dunn. This point he's a 3rd pair dman

To take Kerfoot's contract, more then Laughtin, 5th not enough

Maybe NJ trade.

10 Apr 2021 13:21:50
Cal
Barabanov .925
Kivihalme .725
2021 2nd

Tor
Bennett 2.55 (50% retained)
Stone .7 (50% retained)

10 Apr 2021 22:26:28
To have Flames retain on both, Barabanov and certainly Kivihalme does not move the needle

2nd helps but they would want a more proven player then Barabanov back. Flames may not go full rebuild mode but reset mode in offseason so again would want an NHLer back

Bennett is an NHLer Baravanov not sure yet.

10 Apr 2021 11:15:51
Buffalo Trades
THall (50% of Contract Retained)
Montour 50% of Contract Retained)

Toronto Trades
Dermott
Barabanov
1st Round Pick 2021
2nd Round Pick 2021

With the great moves by trading for Nash yesterday, and than putting both Nash and FAndersen on LTIR to free up close to 8 million in cap space, The Leafs are in a position to make a Trade just like this, they will still have to get a goaltender and they have just under 2 million to do that, but this Trade Proposal address the Top 6 at Forward and improves the Defense as well.


Thoughts ?

10 Apr 2021 17:25:01
If u can add Ullmark with Anderson on LITR then sign me up.

10 Apr 2021 18:41:01
Montour traded to Florida.

10 Apr 2021 18:55:13
Montour is headed to Florida, if you can get Chicago to take some of Hall's cost and pick up Ullmark instead minus the second rounder it's a decent deal.

10 Apr 2021 04:51:08

Hey Leafs fans now with extra cap space here’s a trade you might like

Tor. Hoffman retain 50% and Dunn
Blues. Kerfoot, Dermot 2nd and Aminov

Just a thought.

10 Apr 2021 00:26:01
Tor: 2nd, hallander, Brooks, Hutchison, Petan, Scott

Buf: hall (50%retained), Ullmark

Homerun for the playoffs although, I don’t agree with getting hall (feel he’s a bit toxic) I think this trade could benefit both teams as buffalo could help the farm a lot and leafs make a playoff push with Freddie on ltir until playoffs.

10 Apr 2021 04:09:04
I don't want Hall.

10 Apr 2021 13:11:27
Need hutch for the expansion draft.
