Hefty price to pay for Martin or Johnson, considering Martin was put on waivers a few days ago.

Martin will be a no go he was literally just on waivers so that’s a little dumb. As for jvr trade that’s interesting but is that worth it for Toronto in the long run? If they trade JVR they need to get a RHd back.

Leafs are in a pretty good spot. I think the trade requests by the Leaf alumni are a bit pre-mature. They don't need to burn an asset to stay in the race. They are almost a shoe in to make the playoffs with how poorly the rest of the division is doing.
Reilly will be back in time for the playoffs. I'd just stand pat myself. but we all know Leafs Nation demands a lot.

Just because Martin was put on waivers doesn’t mean he won’t be traded. San Jose will just have to take a contract back (Bozak) . I definitely think San Jose would have to add though.

Johnson trade is a definite no from TO. JVRs played well this season while Johnsons been meh. Our scorings dried up so we need JVR.

martin for bozak is a no simply bc martin was on waivers before. if his salary is retained then it becomes possible tho.

If Detroit or a few other teams get their sh*t together they could be 6 points out of a playoff spot. Toronto is from a shoe in. I thought the leafs should’ve made a deal for a defenseman before the season started. I would’ve been happy bringing Franson back a couple weeks ago. They wouldn’t have lost anyone and he’s better than Carrick IMO. I don’t want to see them lose any young studs so I’m happy with just staying the course and letting kids develop.

You guys. Guys get traded a few days after being on waivers a lot. GMs just don't like picking up and gaining a contract unless they see the potential or fit. Lots of times they would rather a contract going out when one is coming in. Some are right up at the limit sometimes.
Just because he was on waivers doesn't mean he couldn't be traded little while later.

@Yup, you’re right, leafs already did it this year, traded for Calvin Pickard right after he cleared waivers from Vegas when they claimed Subban from Boston. Still don’t see Martin as a possibility at the expense of a good centreman tho.

In the leafs case with Pickard it was because if they claimed him on waivers he had to stay on the NHL roster or have to thru waivers again. So instead they trade one of 15 marlies forwards who were never going to make the leafs for him and get to put him right in the AHL.

JVR for Johnson is actually good.
