NHL rumours 7

09 Apr 2021 12:58:26
Habs: Couturier

Flyers: Danault, 2021 first round pick and Harris.

09 Apr 2021 13:30:12
Not even close, going to cost more for Couturier.

09 Apr 2021 14:29:21
Not enough for Couts.

09 Apr 2021 12:43:21
On Saturday expect FAndersen to be put on LTIR after there game against Ottawa, as that will be the 10 game mark where The Leafs can use that loophole to get 5million extra Cap Space money, at that point I believe The Leafs big Trade goes down, and I believe it's THall, so my predicted Trade Proposal is this.

Buffalo Trades
THall (50% of Contract Retained)

Toronto Trades
Barabanov
Kokkonen (SHL)
1st Round Pick 2021

If the Leafs after that decide to Trade for a Goaltender they will have exactly 1,891.509 Cap Space to use to upgrade in Goal.


Thoughts ?

09 Apr 2021 14:32:48
I think Buffalo will be offered more than that. However, because of Hall's NTC, he could put a stop to better offers. Interesting thought.

09 Apr 2021 11:52:17
Nick Foligno will be traded to the leafs in a 3 way trade i'm calling it now. Kerfoot will end up in San Jose and there's also a chance Andersen is on the move to Buffalo/Dertroit/Arizona. If not he'll remain on LTIR until he is fully healthy

09 Apr 2021 13:38:49
I’d way rather Foligno than Hall. I think the leafs need to focus on defensive forwards. A 3 way deal is a tough one to call, you must have read something.

09 Apr 2021 10:28:11
DET: Ryan 50% + 3rd 2021 (not DET)

TOR: Dermott + 5th 2021.

09 Apr 2021 11:41:40
Who replaces Dermott?

09 Apr 2021 13:28:54
Liljegren, Sandin, they have really good young defensive players.

09 Apr 2021 06:11:31
To CGY :
(2021) First-Round Pick
Timothy Liljegren
Frederik Andersen
Alex Kerfoot

To TOR :
Mikael Backlund
David Rittich (50% Salary Retained)
Sam Bennett (50% Retained Salary)


Toronto saves 500K in cap space, if they found a way to dump Engvall, they could possibly make another move after this. Thoughts?



Zach Hyman - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner
Joe Thornton - John Tavares - William Nylander
Alex Galchenyuk - Mikael Backlund - Sam Bennett
Ilya Mikheyev - Jason Spezza - Wayne Simmonds

Morgan Rielly - Tj Brodie
Jake Muzzin - Justin Holl
Travis Dermott - Zach Bogosian

Jack Campbell
David Rittich


Toronto receives a solid Two-way Center and a physical Grinder who thrives in the playoffs, Rittich would make a solid backup. Rittich is one of my favourites, he’s been solid but doesn’t get the credit.

09 Apr 2021 07:37:32
A mid round pick might get you Rittich. The Flames might even take Anderson off your hands too if the Leafs retain the difference between Rittich's and Anderson's salary (2.25 mil over a full year) .

Besides that Anderson has negative value, we don't want Kerfoot and would prefer to keep Bennett than trade him anyhow. Liljegren is a left shot LW (one thing the Flames really don't need) who at 26 years old is still playing in Sweden and not exactly tearing it up there.

The first is nice but that's about it.

We'll just keep Backlund and Bennett.

09 Apr 2021 08:14:22
lol, Calgary is now going to eat 50% on two players and take a goalie who needs a new contract. what are you smoking?

09 Apr 2021 08:20:50
SO you think Calgary is going to retain 50% on their goalie and take your crippled goal at full contract. lmao. Toronto fans are so naive.

If Toronto makes trades, they will overpay just to lose in the first round again.

09 Apr 2021 12:44:47
@petz Bennett is an RFA and Rittich is a UFA. Flames aren’t making the playoffs either which is why they’d have no problem retaining on 2 expiring contracts, and I’m a flames fan. Why do you have to come out all toxic against the leafs?

09 Apr 2021 12:46:00
The Retained salary was for 2 expiring contracts, and Andersen was taken back for salary reasons to balance out the cap considering he’s a ufa aswell. Use your brain buddy.

09 Apr 2021 05:56:45
To Toronto : Andrew Mangiapane, Sam Bennett and (2021) Second-Round Pick

To Calgary : William Nylander


Toronto saves 1.98m in cap space



J Gaudreau - E Lindholm - W Nylander
M Tkachuk - M Backlund - S Monahan

A Mangiapane - A Matthews - M Marner
Z Hyman - J Tavares - N Robertson.

09 Apr 2021 07:58:14
Eek! Gaudreau and Nylander together, that sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Nylander is soft and lazy, the Flames need less of that, not more.

09 Apr 2021 11:43:04
If Nylander is soft and lazy what is Monahan and Guadreau.

09 Apr 2021 12:47:20
@nylander Gaudreau is soft but not lazy, meanwhile Monahan is both lmao.

09 Apr 2021 16:22:53
@nylander It doesn't matter what Gaudreau and Monahan are, the point is the Flames are too soft now, more soft players they don't need.

09 Apr 2021 16:27:17
Besides this trade has the Flames giving up two of the hardest working players on the team. Mangy and Benny are neither soft nor lazy. If this trade happened there'd be lynch parties forming in Calgary for Treliving.

08 Apr 2021 23:59:02
After Saturday's game when The Leafs play Ottawa FAndersen can be put on LTIR which gives them an extra 5m in Cap, at that point I believe there are Trades already in place that will go down quickly, my predicted Trade Proposals are these 2, and yes The Leafs will not go over The Cap adding these 2 players.

First Trade.

Buffalo Trades
THall (50% of Contract Retained)

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


Second Trade.

Carolina Trades
Reimer (50% of Contract Retained)

Toronto Trades
Vehvilainen (Taxi Squad)
4th Round Pick 2021


Thoughts ?

09 Apr 2021 05:25:12
I think the 1st and a better prospect get that Hall deal done tbh. 1st + Liljegren tor Hall (50% Retained) is more than enough imo

Good trade.

09 Apr 2021 07:49:45
Possible on the Hall trade.

Not sure if Carolina would trade Reimer though. They may want to keep him as insurance for the playoffs. Even if they do trade him they'd be doing it to clear cap to bring another player and wouldn't be retaining any of his salary to help the Leafs out.

09 Apr 2021 11:43:56
No way Hall gets a 1st.

09 Apr 2021 12:48:37
@nylander I didn’t think he’d get a 1st aswell, but seeing what Palmieri got and how desperate teams would be to acquire a top 6 it’s not impossible.

08 Apr 2021 19:13:02
DET: Ryan 50%

TOR: Dermott.

08 Apr 2021 19:49:02
Leafs can’t afford to lose Dermott.

08 Apr 2021 22:03:09
Dermot is not good.

08 Apr 2021 22:59:58
I would take this and run as a Detroit fan. Probably too much.

Ryan 50% retained would likely get a 3rd. Maybe if enough buyers we can make it a conditional 2nd (based on playoff performance of the team)

Although the starting point would be in the 4th/ 3rd round range. Dermott would likely be more value that that.
