I cannot wait for the trade deadline/start of next season for the leafs. I have been coming on hockey buzz and hoping everyday that the leafs make a huge blockbuster trade! I thought just for fun.. I would list some trades that I would love to see for the Leafs right now.
Boston-Subban
Toronto-Reimer,Winnik,Leivo
Toronto to go along with a rebuild needs a good goalie prospect waiting to crack a #1 job.
New York Rangers-Anthony Duclair,Chris Krieder,1st Rd 2016
Toronto-Phil Kessel,Panik,2nd
Dallas-Dkinson,Honka,Hemsky
Toronto-Phaneuf(1mil. Retain contract)Bosak(Seguin injury)
Or
Anaheim-Nick Richie,beauchemin(cap dump/re-trade), and 2015 1st
Toronto-Phaneuf(1.5mil retained 2015-2017),3rd 2015
Edmoton-Jordon Eberle
Toronto-Bernier,Gardiner
New York Islanders-3rd
Toronto-Lupul
LA-4th
Toronto-robidas
I honestly do not think any of these trades are over payments and every trade helps both teams involved.
Leafs lines next year.Assuming they finish with 5th overall pick and select D Hanifin
JVR-Kadri-Eberle
Kreider-Nylander-Duclair
Komorov-Holland-Richie
Clarkson-Gauthier-Frattin
Reilly-Polak
Loov-Honka
Percy-Hanifin/Finn
Granberg
Subban,Bibeau(or free agent)
Prospects- Connor Brown,Matt Finn,Dkinson + the draft
You think the Leafs will take hanifan? Lmao keep dreaming.
With the forwards above that the leafs made in those deals.. We are loaded with forwards and need defense.. So ya..
The Oilers could get a comparable goalie to Bernier for way cheaper than Eberle and fuck off with Gardiner, we already have the superior model in the shitty Justin Schultz......no.
Rangers? DuClair (prob their best forward future), Kreider (ha are you kidding?) and 2016 1st for Kessel (8m). Ill end it there......Are you crazy?
Unrealistic Canadians! Rangers will not give Kreider away - He is the NYR - power, speed and intensity! We prob would sell high on Duke but not for a fat (super talented) malcontent in Kessel. His lack of physical discipline will only result in him having a shorter career as he ages. Nutrition and work ethic means more for your later years. I feel dumber after reading this "scenario".
Generally the Leaf players are a bit overrated , The Leafs are closer to the Sabres than the Canadiens!. The Rangers would never make that trade.
While you overvalue or make ridiculous trade offers in some cases, Lupul is worth more than a 3rd, injury issues or not
I think TO should trade Kessel for sven baertschi and a 1st. then trade Phaneuf and Kadri for RNH and prospect/a draft pick (3rd maybe)
Edmonton does not want the overpaid Phaneuf
