(Wings Fan)

I would love to see the Leafs and Oil make a deal.

Obviously there would need to be additions but...

Marner & Nurse the main pieces.

Leafs need to shore up a bit on D and watching McDavid and Marner would be nutso.

18 Jul 2019 12:40:42
Yeah watching Marner with McDavid putting up 140 points would be pretty crazy while Nurse puts up 20 points and leafs fans storm the Air Canada Center and burn it to the ground carrying around Dubas’s head. I can guarantee there would be a riot if Marner was traded for a deal around Nurse.

15 Jul 2019 20:37:51
Number hockey news story of the day willie Nylander changes his jersey number again. Can someone make a trade or send an offer sheet or something?

15 Jul 2019 21:04:28
Number 1.

15 Jul 2019 21:10:48
U should call up Bergy and tell him to offer sheet Rantanen 5 years x 7.5 mill.

15 Jul 2019 21:45:18
Yeah or marner for 5 years at 10.4.

15 Jul 2019 22:07:29
You guys can stop with the Nylander proposals now he’s staying a leaf :)

15 Jul 2019 22:13:01
@vbbb wasn't a trade proposal bud and I hope he stays a leaf for his whole career.

16 Jul 2019 00:00:58
Yes I know directed at DetroitMantha.

16 Jul 2019 10:57:10
I don't know why he's changing his number before getting dealt.

16 Jul 2019 19:45:07
I heard Nylander for Kotkaniemi.

16 Jul 2019 20:58:28
I heard it was for alzner.

16 Jul 2019 21:56:36
Yes, a great signing by Bergevin in Alzner (@mantha NOT habby) Karl Alzner says “ joining the Montreal Canadiens gives him a better chance to win a Stanley cup than he had with the Capitals in Washington. ” quote from sportsnet. ca, NOT Leafs17.

16 Jul 2019 22:55:25
@leafs17 not anyone else. Alzner said he wanted to win cause he was frustrated with getting bounced in the 2nd round yearly. imagine how frustrating it would have been to get beat every year in the 1st round lol.

17 Jul 2019 06:27:35
I’ll end the childish stuff because I know you can go on for days habby. Mantha said Dubas was tied for the worst GM in the league and he just stepped in. I didn’t mean to offend you.

17 Jul 2019 10:50:41
I'm glad to hear that leafs17 like I said before I can keep this going for months not days. But in all honesty I would rather not.

17 Jul 2019 16:12:39
You are very good at arguing. Are you a defense lawyer by any chance?

17 Jul 2019 20:11:21
Nope just had a lot of practice lol.

18 Jul 2019 04:04:01
You guys got to be careful with Leafs17, his feelings are fragile.

18 Jul 2019 11:53:39
magine how frustrated Alzner must be not even making the playoffs anymore.

18 Jul 2019 14:58:30
Yeah I know but Laval will have a better team this year maybe he will make the playoffs there this season so he can look forward to that.

18 Jul 2019 16:10:06
Alzner should be playing in mtl imo, he's actually very solid defensively but just slow. If he works out this summer and improves his skating, he's a solid defensemen imo.

18 Jul 2019 16:30:56
Welcome back yupper. Not much else to say as an oilers fan eh?

14 Jul 2019 06:30:34
Know killhorn has full Ntc and Brodie has 8 team no trade but value wise killhorn for Brodie and a 4th? Tampa needs rd and Calgary gets upgraded top 6 forward. I get tampa needs to shed money but if they could turn a trade for palat for a prospect or draft pick it could work.

14 Jul 2019 06:47:11
I think Brodie has more value then Kilhorn.

14 Jul 2019 07:34:04
Brodie >> Killorn.
No question about it.

14 Jul 2019 07:45:00
Killorn has negative value. Brodie has positive. Brodie is a UFA next year which gives calgary breathing room. Flames are set down the left side. Flames already have an anchor contract in Neal.

So no from flames for so many reasons.

14 Jul 2019 15:41:37
How exactly does Killorn have negative value? He’llplay every game get about 40 points and is the best PKer on Tampa, who had a very good pk last year. Starting next year the NTC drops to a 16 team trade list.

14 Jul 2019 20:07:49
Killorn has okay value. Solid player, 40 point C/ LW while also being good on the PK and just a fine two-way player.
Not to mention veteran presence.

15 Jul 2019 17:17:19
Ya don’t get me wrong I’m not arguing that Killorn has great value, I just don’t see them having to pay someone to take Killorn since he’s a useful player on an ok contract.

15 Jul 2019 22:13:29
Yeah he isn't a cap dump.

13 Jul 2019 22:51:05
What's the play for Jim Benning? Needs to sign Boeser and Goldobin. Both are set to get raises.

They have exactly 5M in salary cap to sign those two. Benning kind of screwed himself when signing Myers and Ferland.
Contracts like Sutter's, Eriksson's, Roussel's, Beagle's and Pearson's will be difficult to trade.

Is Chris Tanev on his way out? Is this the right time to trade him? Will teams that missed out on free agents overpay for him?

13 Jul 2019 23:09:14
It's really hard to figure out what Benning is doing. He makes a terrible trade, giving up a first for Miller, signs Meyers to a bad contract, signed Eriksson to a horribad contract a few years back and still has the other bad contracts you mentioned. Leaving him with no money to sign actual good players. So, the Canucks haven't improved at all, will be a cap team and will in all likelihood be in the draft lottery. I don't get it.

14 Jul 2019 01:33:50
Lucic 50% retained and Kris Russel for Loui Erickson 25% retained and Chris Tanev.

14 Jul 2019 01:46:45
The start of the season is still a ways off I wouldn't hit the panic button yet. they have some maneuvering to do like a lot of teams but I would think they have every intention on resigning boeser maybe goldy gets traded and they unload a few more dead weight contracts. They still have a few months to get it in order.

14 Jul 2019 06:04:01
The Miller deal is only bad because Vancouver probably isn’t the right team to making that trade. Miller is a really under appreciated player he’s got top 6 wing skill and can play any style for anywhere in the lineup. The price really isn’t what’s bad a first for Miller isn’t bad value. Probably would have helped if he tried to negotiate even just a bit though.

14 Jul 2019 07:37:10
How will they unload those dead weight contracts? Give up
prospects or high picks? If so, DiPietro will most likely get traded. The return won’t be great though. The teams that needed a goalie got one in the draft.
I don’t know what they will do. They aren’t the team to give up picks and prospects when they’re in the bottom 10 of the league.

14 Jul 2019 11:59:25
Worst Gm in the league=Jim Bening/ Kyle Dubas.

14 Jul 2019 16:55:16
I’m not going to get into this too much because you’re a troll. Let me explain to you how things work Mantha. Sometimes when you have a ton of talent on a team, it’s hard to stay under the cap, therefore moves need to be made. Montreal does not have to worry about having too much talent.

14 Jul 2019 19:49:40
That team with a ton of talent had 4 more points then the team without it lol.

14 Jul 2019 19:54:25
But now you might understand why I say a lot of negative things about the leafs when some of their homers are constantly posting biased garbage.

14 Jul 2019 22:05:44
How did I know I’d get a response from you habby. That was meant for the troll that bashes the leafs with every post. Montreal doesn’t have the Marner, Mathews, Nylander or Tavares but Montreal plays with more heart. Montreal will have their share of cap problems if Domi continues to play well and their young players they’ve drafted step up. Let alone their massive contracts that seldom get talked about. Don’t get your panties in a bunch habby, I never talk up Leaf players and you should know that. i'm usually defending just like you are.

14 Jul 2019 22:14:39
Myself and maybe top shelf are the only leaf fans to call out other leaf fans habby. I don’t see you telling Mantha he’s out to lunch. Since you’re so good at going through the archives, find a post where I’m posting biased garbage or even talking about leafs players. I remember one discussion with you about Kadri and Danault, other than that I don’t say much unless I’m defending something. Or find a post that I’ve said something negative about Montreal, other than the one above. You’re constantly bashing the leafs, just not as bad as the troll. Get off your f’n pedestal.

15 Jul 2019 00:12:32
I make a little comment to allow you to see when you called me out last week I was just doing the same thing you are now. I didn't accuse you of posting the biased garbage I just simply said that I said negative things about the leafs with the intent on just going against the homers. The exact same thing you just did. You reply with this and I'm the one that shouldn't get my panties in a bunch? Lol ok man have fun on your f'n pedestal.

15 Jul 2019 00:24:54
But just because you were so nice to me here's another thing you may not know. Most teams usually have a season or two at least of moderate success before they run into cap trouble. Now I mean it's left to be seen if Montreal will or not with the current group but Toronto should soon be getting past the first round by now don't you think?

15 Jul 2019 03:46:22
I happily call out Pinball a lot of the time don’t think I’ve ever proposed anything to outlandish.

13 Jul 2019 02:04:59
It's been a pretty boring week. I like the Ferland deal, for that price I'd take him over Johnsson, maybe Kerfoot too but he was part of a trade.I wouldn't take Ferland over Kapanen though. I thought someone was going to over pay big time for Ferland. It's about time Columbus signed someone. Dzingel is a start and I heard they talked to Marner's agent about an offer sheet. I'm most disappointed in Pavelski going to Dallas, sorry ProDepth. All those years the leafs couldn't make the playoffs, San Jose was my playoff team. I loved watching Pavelski destroy the Wings, he's one of my favorites. I'm ok with the Leafs moves, I admit that I'll miss Kadri, sometimes. When he played on the edge and didn't cross the line he was really effective. He hurt the leafs too often though. I think getting traded will be an eye opener for him and he'll have a few more really good years. I won't be happy until the leafs are more physical though, lots of talent but a bunch of bitches!
The Marner situation is starting to bother me. I've said many times before that Dubas should've traded Nylander the second he held out. Would've set a precedent and
maybe they wouldn't be in this situation. Maybe not though, there's other really key pieces to a team left unsigned. Do any of you guys wish your team did something different or do you like what they did?

13 Jul 2019 05:09:19
Dzingel signed with the Hurricanes.
Ferland deal looks good on paper but sucks for Vancouver.
5 million left to sign Boeser and Goldobin. Can’t really trade anyone without making a hole in your roster or without taking back salary.

13 Jul 2019 08:01:38
I wish my team would’ve signed Connolly (3.25 x 4), Dzingel (3.375 x 2), Hartman (1.9 x 2). Not wasted 750k on signing Jurco when they have no cap space. Traded Russell instead of buying out Sekera. Traded for Vessey (3rd), Burakovsky (2nd, 3rd), Miller (2nd, 5th) . Although I like the Granlund signing.

Lucic, Gagner, Chaisson, Kassian, Granlund, Khaira, Brodziak, Nygard, Jurco, Cave and Has. All bottom six guys with a couple capable of playing up the lineup. That’s a lot of money to spend on the bottom six when they only have three bona fide top six guys.

13 Jul 2019 16:44:29
Oh that’s right, Dzingel to Carolina. I read that the Ferland signing made things difficult for Vancouver but it’s still a pretty good price for him IMO. Ebs I don’t know what Edmonton can do with their situation. I’d give whatever it takes for someone to take Lucic.

13 Jul 2019 19:22:48
@leafs
Oh yeah, Ferland deal is great. 40-50 point power forward who is capable of scoring 20 goals per season. With Myers, Ferland and Luongo’s salary it makes it really tough to sign Boeser though. I’d expect he’d want something like 6.5m for 2 years as a mini bridge deal.

18 Jul 2019 04:14:33
Thing with Ferland is that teams were worried about his concussion problems and that’s why it took so long for him to sign. He wanted term and teams were hesitant. Got 4 years from Vancouver, the most he was offered. Pretty sure it was 4.
