Leafs rumours 4

12 Jul 2024 20:34:05
Penquins trade Rust retain 50%

Leafs trade liljegren or McCabe and Jarnknok

Leafs don't have enough scoring . They have a few secondary pieces but we can't be sure how much they will score

Tier one
Matthews
Marner
Nylander
Tavaras

Tier two

Domi
Knies
Robertson
McMann
Cowan
Minten
Holmberg

12 Jul 2024 20:56:54
The fact you keep putting McCabe in your trades (who is making 2M RN makes me thank the heavens that you’re not GM. And for a forward.

13 Jul 2024 00:47:12
Who are you trading a 22 year we don’t know how good he is?

Or

Marner who has not come close to peaking yet?

So let’s do math

Trade chips are Kampf and Jarnknok

They don’t bring back much but they do clear $4.5 million

Now who else have you got to trade? You got jack clarke jack nothing.

13 Jul 2024 01:07:05
But Rust is the saviour for our offence lol.

13 Jul 2024 01:57:23
Honestly Mackin I think they should use this year to develop Cowan on the Leafs and give young guys like Steeves a chance. Go for it next year with Marner off the books and JT making 40% less. If Tre can’t put a team together then, he has no excuses.

13 Jul 2024 02:58:01
McCabe is everything the leafs need on defence right now. He is there don’t take rubbish guy back there and just plays pissed off. And at that cap hit no way throw pussy Liljegren in there instead brutal trade.

13 Jul 2024 08:44:30
Marner puts up 130 points this year

You don’t think he wants to say something on the ice

He is damn good

You can’t make a Marner trade and win it

Clarky

Then u think they let him walk he wants to play here

He probably takes 11 million and Tavares walks

I don’t think Tavares = stamkos.

13 Jul 2024 10:50:34
Mackin we shouldn’t be worried about winning a trade, the goal here is to try and make this team better. I don’t care what Marner does once he leaves this team. If we lose the Marner trade but make it to the 3rd rd of playoffs, is it really a loss?!?!

13 Jul 2024 14:57:20
Losing a trade (in theory) is better then losing him to free agency.

12 Jul 2024 14:59:02
Going off the board for something different

Fla
Jarnkrok $2.1M
Liljegren $3M
Robertson RFA

Tor
Bennett $4.425M
Greer $.850M

12 Jul 2024 18:24:41
Haha imagine Bennett and Domi playing together. Don’t see Fla moving him. He is a big piece of the heart that keeps that team throbbing. Stupid saying but I’m going with it.

12 Jul 2024 20:00:43
I'd do this in a heartbeat.

12 Jul 2024 14:28:35
Clb
Robertson RFA
Jarnkrok $2.1M

Tor
Kuraly $2.5M($500K retained)
Marrelli unsigned
Rysavy unsigned

12 Jul 2024 13:17:20
To Edmonton: Marner (2.4M retained) Minten

To Toronto: Draisaitl

Who says no? Both players would be at 8.5M Cap hit for their last season under contract.

12 Jul 2024 16:23:12
You forgot to take into account the Leafs covering Marner's retention. So it's not an even cap hit.
I think Edmonton says no.

12 Jul 2024 17:12:12
Leafs would be paying 10.9M for Draisaitl, technically. I more so meant Edmonton pays no more for Mitch.

12 Jul 2024 18:26:03
Why would they do that when Draistl plays well in playoffs.

11 Jul 2024 18:07:06
Flames
Marner Liljegren Robertson

Leafs
Coleman Weegar

11 Jul 2024 18:54:55
I think we would have to add much more to get Weegar. Guy was one of the best D in the league last year IMO and on an average team. Cgy won’t deal with TO anyway, I’d stop shopping there.

11 Jul 2024 19:51:10
I agree clarky17
I keep thinking though I’m giving up a top notch forward in marner …that should be plenty…but then remember it is marner?.

11 Jul 2024 20:57:44
@Wendel I think it's light as well.

The way I try and look at it, if I was any GM in the league, would Weegar (on that STEAL contract), be worth Mitchy at 11m for one year.

11 Jul 2024 22:24:23
Weegar had a career year last year. I’m all for trading Marner, but he alone gets Weegar and Coleman.

12 Jul 2024 12:07:25
Weegar is a solid target, but Coleman does almost nothing to replace Marner's offense.

12 Jul 2024 12:55:15
Leafs_stink not trying to replace Marners offence, we are trying to replace his lack of heart in big games and Coleman does that in spades. Why do you guys only look at numbers? Here is a numbers fact for you. We spend more on forwards than anyone in the league but our PP and goals for is the worst in the playoffs, same as every year. So why are you trying to replace that? Anyone that knows hockey and cares about winning a Cup does not care about regular season stats. I could care less if Matthews gets 100 goals this year if they can’t win a playoff series. Others will fill in Marners void. Knies and McMann, Cowan getting more of a shot on PP’s and filling in some of those numbers. For anyone that wants to keep this core 4 intact, I’m sorry but you don’t know hockey or understand it.

12 Jul 2024 12:55:42
Ls67
Weegar is the target here
Try and keep up.

12 Jul 2024 15:00:53
Coleman potted 30 goals last year
With knies and nylander on his wings he will thrive.

12 Jul 2024 15:36:14
Very good point, Marner is a no show come playoffs. Not hard to replace that.

12 Jul 2024 15:56:23
Weegar is obviously the main target here, where did I "fall behind"?
I just found Coleman (LW) to in theory replace Marner (RW) a bit odd. We seem to have a surplus of left wingers.

12 Jul 2024 17:05:19
Ls67
Coleman would be a Center.

12 Jul 2024 17:19:46
Holmberg
Marner
Nylander
Reaves

Our listed right wingers. If we trade Mitch, someone capable of playing RW should also be coming back.

12 Jul 2024 17:34:49
So Coleman is your 2 or 3C. Sign Sprong or Cowan makes the team?

11 Jul 2024 17:01:56
To Utah
Robertson RFA rights
Liljegren $3M/ 2yrs
2025 2nd (via Florida)

To Toronto
McBain $1.6M/ 1yr RFA
Kesselring $1.4M/ 2yrs RFA
2025 3rd (via NYR)

11 Jul 2024 18:52:42
I like it Tags but I know Utah like McBain. Would be hard to get him out unless you overpay. But IMO exactly what we could use in a 3rd line C.

11 Jul 2024 14:21:42
A couple trades with teams and players on the trade block:
1st trade:

To Tor: Ehlers, McGroarty

To Wpg: Liljegren, Robertson, 1st rd pick 2026, 3rd rd pick 2025

2nd trade:

To Tor: Trouba (retained by 25% by ANH for draft pick), Kakko

To NYR: Marner (retained by 25% by Tor and another 25% by Utah),4th rd pick 2026 (going to Utah for retention)

Turn around and trade Kakko to SJ for Benning and a draft pick 2025

Jarnkrok to Utah for future considerations

Ehler. Matthews Domi
Knies JT Nylander
McMann McGroarty Cowan
Holmberg Kampf Reaves
Dewar

Rielly Tanev
OEL Trouba
Benoit McCabe
Hakanpaa/ Benning - That would be a fun D group to watch-lol smash bros.

11 Jul 2024 18:19:48
It sounds like they want a haul just for McGroarty. I don't think you'd get Ehlers as well with that package.

11 Jul 2024 18:49:29
You’re probably right, I was thinking of adding Minten to this deal since we are getting a young C back.

11 Jul 2024 19:36:31
Leafs need to add big to get that package from the jets

Trouba is on the way down, that’s why the rangers are looking to move him …so easy pass from the Leafs.

11 Jul 2024 11:05:37
A bit of a lateral move but since this player always gets brought up I thought of this one.

Tor: kampf
Sjs: goodrow

Goodrow doesn't wanna be a shark he wants to compete for a cup he doesn't bring a lot point wise but to me come playoffs he's the type of guy you want he's more aggressive he finds ways to score and he can shut guys down

11 Jul 2024 13:27:36
Goodrow is pricier. Might have to include Reaves.

11 Jul 2024 13:50:36
I’d love having Goodrow. Like you said he shows up in playoffs. That should be the #1 trait the Leafs are looking at right now.

11 Jul 2024 14:38:47
@hrenklin yes he makes more forsure but you can make that work if it’s gets you further in the playoffs.

12 Jul 2024 08:32:36
Lol yes offering Reaves as incentive would definitely seal the deal
Hrenklin’s posts are hilarious ?.

10 Jul 2024 15:52:17
A nice move to help out both teams. CBJ now got Monaghan, Chinkov, Voronkov, Fantilli and Jenner for Centers. Rumour is they are looking to move out Jenner and his 3.75M and are still in need of another RH shot D. Here is my solution:

To Tor: Jenner

To CBJ: Liljegren, RFA Robertson, 2nd rd pick 2025

Fair deal? Or who would add here but I like the leadership, physicality and a bit of scoring touch Jenner would bring to our middle 6 F.

10 Jul 2024 16:42:07
Seems reasonable.

10 Jul 2024 17:37:05
Clarky my trade was a stretch but can Robertson come close to the Dallas player if he plays in Leafs top 6? I think Robertson scores 40 goals one day.

10 Jul 2024 19:00:38
@Mackin, if we didn’t have Marner, Nylander or Matthews, I would advocate to keep Robertson. We already have too many of that similar type of players. Since they want to keep them, we don’t have a spot for a Robertson. That spot needs to be filled with size and tenacity to make up for the others short comings. IMO of course.

10 Jul 2024 19:39:01
That 40 goals won't be in a single NHL season, in my opinion.

11 Jul 2024 00:15:52
Clarky I thought Columbus was stacked at RD, I don't see them wanting Lily.

11 Jul 2024 07:07:37
Clarky

Something has to happen here. Why the leafs didn’t trade Jarnknok and Kampf fraftnight that was $4.5 million to get a scorer in free agency? The leafs had no scoring in playoffs but did have injuries to the top 3. They need to add another scorer more than Brrtuzzi

The only thrash chips they have are Liljegren jarnknok Kampf

Never trade Robertson he scores goals
Marner scores and sets up goals.

10 Jul 2024 14:43:02
To Tor
Lundqvist
To Dal
Robertson

To Tor
2nd 2025
To Chi
Lilijgren

To Tor
Colton
To Col
Kampf, Steeves

To Tor
2nd 2026
To Pitt
Jarnkrok

Sign Cousins($1mil) Nylander($800k) kubalik($1mil)

10 Jul 2024 13:06:38
I'd like to see a package of

Liljgren Robertson

For

A 3C I like Laughton and I like
Faksa

leafs need another centre that can be a factor at both ends our pk was dog poop last year trading guys like kampf and jarnkrok for nothing doesn't improve it

10 Jul 2024 14:18:35
Rather give that to Col and grab Colton who imo can move into the 2nd c spot and bump Tavares to 3c.

11 Jul 2024 02:47:12
Colorado was looking to move Colton pre free agency now I doubt they would consider it.
