NHL Trade Rumors

WPG
Laine

OTT
Tkachuk
Wolanin

Tkachuk provides toughness (Jets need) and also points. So I don't think they would miss Laine to much. He may not get the points Laine is capable of getting but brings more of what the Jets really lack. Toughness and grit.
There other weakness is defence. But possibly fix that through Free Agency.

No thanks. Tkachuk would be nice, but I'd rather keep Laine. Ottawa would be too cheap to hold onto Laine anyways.

If The Leafs win the lottery tonight they will have to move out some forwards for Cap plus keep them a good offensive team at the same time, if they can add Lafreniere at LW I could see a trade proposal like this.

New Jersey Trades
Zacha
Severson

Toronto Trades
Johnsson
Kapanen
FGauthier
Duszak (AHL)

There would have to be another move my guess Kerfoot and Dermott packaged for another RHanded Shooting Defenceman with a lower Salary to keep under The Cap.

Thoughts ?

Pinball come on bro. You know this isn’t even close.

10 Aug 2020 16:24:54
How isn't this close themostleaf33?
Kapanen, Duszak - Severson
Johnsson, FGauthier - Zacha
That breakdown shows it's more than fair.

10 Aug 2020 17:04:31
Dermott=Zacha, Johnsson won’t get you Zacha and Gauthier has no value.

Kapanen+ will get you Severson, but the addition has to be much better then Duszak. He is decent but he is also 23 and probably isn’t more then a bottom pairing guy in the future.

You have to add a prospect with a little more value like SDA and a pick.

Thank god the leafs didn’t win the lottery.
Tho now we will have to put up with a year of leafs fans claiming the draft lottery is rigged. AGAIN.

11 Aug 2020 02:29:58
Why would we think it’s rigged. Like we literally watched it live.

11 Aug 2020 08:39:43
Or 5 years of someone crying from mommy’s tit that the leafs tanked for McDavid. Some of the newer people on this site may not remember. I hope the kid requests a trade like Kassian’s uncle told me he would. #McD deserves better.

😂
I won’t get on your case too much, Leafs17, because you at least feel shame about your team’s fanbase some of the time. Rightfully so, they’re a generally ridiculous barrel of monkeys. But cmon, the “rigged” conspiracy is still a hot topic for the soft-skulled in the GTA.

Also, I heard from RNH’s brother’s cousin’s mom’s best friend’s father-in-law that McD isn’t going to request a trade, especially not to the leafs, because he isn’t a crybaby. Won’t surprise me in the least if Matthews books it for Arizona (or a nearby American team) after his contract is up tho. Why else sign for 5yrs instead of the max? Do his due diligence and then wave goodbye to the most delusional fanbase in sports. Makes sense.

But, yeah, you goaded and I’ll play along:
leafs fired a coach who had a 21-16-3 record and a playoff spot at the time of his firing when there was a generational talent from the GTA to be had in the draft, and put in place an inexperienced coach who didn’t stick around the following year and hasn’t been a head coach since in the NHL after going 9-28-5 (NINE-TWENTY EIGHT-FIVE! ) and plummeting the leafs to the bottom of the league.
Tell me again how this isn’t the most blatant intentional tanking in NHL history? 😂
It’s a huge pathetic smudge on leafs and hockey history and you know it.

Well that sucks I pressed send early by accident on last one LMFAO so I'll redo it here. Summarizing as due to cap and cap issues these deals are possible if Edmonton or Nashville win lotto.

NSH : 1st overall, Turris

For

OTT : 3rd overall, Isles 2020 1st, Chlapic, Duclair, Davidson

Or

OTT : 5th overall, Batherson, Isles 1st, Chlapic, 2021 2nd rounder lowest, 2020 3rd rounder lowest

As for if Edmonton wins lottery use same trades as Nashville but replace Turris with James Neal.

Yes I made a couple changes to previous post, would have made them in post anyway if I didn't click send early lol.

Anyway not teams see cap relief with any of these deals and still manage a top 5 pick either way plus extra assets while Ottawa lands the 1st overall without having to get stupid and move both top 5 picks for it which is a dumb idea anyway as no team should ever trade 2 top 5 picks for anyone let alone the 1st overall in the same class. Especially in a deep class where the 2nd and 3rd overall picks have very comparable ceilings to the 1st overall and are nearly as good now as well. That's just dumb. These deals are far more reasonable.

If I'm nashville, I want lafrenier instead of all that. Bigger chance for immediate scoring help off the wing. He's already cap relief, and would be exactly what they need.

09 Aug 2020 13:03:23
Why would. either team trade Laf for lower picks and garbage. The 3rd and 5th together have enough value it might convince a team. The Islanders pick and a bunch of crap does not.

10 Aug 2020 22:27:26
St. louisfan get real dude 3rd + 5th >>> 1st in any reality. One of the 2 plus isles first = 1st especially this year. Might take a sweetener or 2 depending on which one is used but no way in hell 1st is is worth 2 top 5 picks. Even if 1 was McDavid which it's not.

07 Aug 2020 21:47:35
Tor: Matthews, marner next 4 first round picks unprotected

Edm: McDavid, draisaitl




Tor: nylander johnsson, dermott

Chi: debrincat

07 Aug 2020 23:02:03
I fail to see how Debrincat has more value then Nylander.

08 Aug 2020 04:06:42
Vbb. Cause he's younger, cheaper and better.

08 Aug 2020 09:06:19
Buddy couldn’t even crack 50 points playing with a top 3 player In the nhl ( offensively) Nylander would be putting up a PPG easily with Kane. I’ll even admit Kane Is better then Mathews.

08 Aug 2020 15:18:14
Nylander is the better player, not sure why Leafs would do this.

08 Aug 2020 17:44:55
I hit believable just for the jersey sales spike this would create, and to see edmonton fans throwing old ones on the ice again.

10 Aug 2020 15:13:09
Matthew's proved he's worth keeping after this series he played hard on both ends. and that wasn't enough need the team to play hard maker and Tavares both loaded hard but once there off they had no game.
