I wonder 8fmanyon3 could create a post or 2 that w o under somehow be beneficial to the Leafs, maybe to provide them some cap relief, as well as giving them a decent player?
Preferably the proposal would have the Leafs giving up at least 2 of the following players, Kampf. Lilljegren or Robertson.

Should have proofread

I wonder if anyone could create a post or 2 that would.

I’m pretty sure every trade that Pinball will post for the foreseeable future will include Kampf, Lilly or Robertson…in some combination…and it will be for a “decent player”.

It won’t be realistic, cap compliant, or fair value for the team not called the leafs, but I suspect you’ll get a frequent barrage of “cap dumps for a player” trades👍.

MTL declines.

Even though Gallagher & Anderson are not worth their salaries anymore, cap space isn't an issue for the Habs in this stage of their rebuild.

Both can be traded when they're on expiring contracts in 3 more years. There's no need to recklessly trade assets to clear cap space when it isn't needed. If anything, the Habs will likely help other teams clear space in exchange for picks or prospects.

We got to play those youngster, im tired of worned out, overpay players on the bottom 6.

Olivier would be a good add for most teams for their 4th line. The thing with the Habs is their young prospects to fit the role of a 4th liner besides the younger of the Wifi brothers. Habs are still a few years from being back in the playoff hunt so they can hold onto! He aging pieces and hope they bring their stock up to unload at the deadline or the draft.

OTT - Ulmark, 1st
BOS - Swayman.

04 Oct 2024 17:55:20
Seems odd from Bostons perspective considering they just traded Ullmark instead of Swayman.

04 Oct 2024 17:59:37
Hey EBS, your deal is fair, value-wise, but I just don’t think it would ever happen. Ulmark moving twice in a short time like that just wouldn’t look good on either franchise.

05 Oct 2024 06:09:29
Ulmark might be happy to come back who knows. Odd for sure though. Boston probably regret there decision at this point.

05 Oct 2024 19:27:53
I agree 100% EBS! When they traded Ulmark before signing Swayman they committed the worst unforced error I’ve seen since some of Dubas’ beauties!

I’m sure Swayman’s agent is still laughing hard at Sweeney handing him all the leverage. 😁.

07 Oct 2024 13:11:49
So Boston receives:

Linus Ullmark
2 1st round draft picks
Joonas Korpisalo
Mark Kastelic

And all they need to do is trade Swayman?

07 Oct 2024 18:47:15
Yeah except not Ulmark. Lol and Korpisalo is a cap dump at 4M.

LAKings Trade
Clarke

Toronto Trades
Kampf*
Liljegren
Timmons
Hildeby (AHL)
1st Round Pick 2026

Toronto retains 50% of Kampf's remaining contract.


This is not just a Cap Trade but also a hockey trade for both Teams, with Doughty out getting both Liljegren and Timmons will help right away from the backend, Hildeby is close and The Kings don't have that young depth in Goaltender and Hildeby might just be the best player in this proposal.

It's really a lot to give up for The Leafs, but with a Cap issue this fixes it and getting Clarke with such a high sealing it's worth the cost.


Thoughts ?

02 Oct 2024 15:57:53
There's just no real upside on this for LA. They've developed Clarke and are looking at him to start logging bigger minutes and playing a bigger role. Losing Doughty sucks obviously, but they will likely address internally or maybe trade for someone like Timmins as a stop gap until Doughty comes back. The last thing we should be doing is unloading Hildeby. We finally have some promising young goalies in the system, him being the best one. Let him have another good year in the AHL and if injuries happen we bring him up and give him a few games to see how he's fairing. Hopefully next year he's ready to make the jump to be a full time NHLer.

02 Oct 2024 22:50:59
Pinball, you won't get Clark for that package.

03 Oct 2024 03:04:00
Or LA could just continue you to develop Clarke and give him more opportunities on the PP with Doughty out.

And I think you meant Clarke has such a high ceiling it's worth the cost.

And you're correct, Clarke has such a high ceiling it would take a much better return for LA than 3 role players on the Leafs roster, a goaltender prospect and a late 1st round pick.

To add to what MG, Euro & DRW said, there’s also the salary cap issue. While Doughty will be on LTIR to start the season, he’s officially listed as “Month to Month”, so when he comes back they’d be over the cap.
