Since this draft is regarded as one of the strongest drafts in decades would the Leafs consider trading their number 4 pick to stockpile picks in order to enhance their rebuild? How about this proposal?
TML 1st round (4th) 2015
PHI 1st round (7th) 2015, 27th and
29th pick 2015
That would give the Leafs 4 picks in the first round and rumour has it Hannifen or Marriner could drop to 7 Something to consider?

1.) 09 Jun 2015 14:38:21
Phi only has 2 picks

2.) 09 Jun 2015 15:55:19
they have already said they would consider it. good for you, you can read.

3.) 09 Jun 2015 17:13:57
Bgdaddy, get off your high horse. I think it is a smart idea getting extra first rounders, but you you have a shot at a kane-like player (Marner), I say we take it.

4.) 09 Jun 2015 20:53:41
Ya Hanifin to 7. Maybe the Leafs can pick him 29th oa. Geez.

5.) 10 Jun 2015 04:13:01
So how will Toronto acquire anaheim's pick from Philadelphia?

6.) 10 Jun 2015 07:37:10
Well, showtime, according to leafs fans on this site the team can do whatever they want. Expect Kessel for Crosby, Weber, Forsburg, and 4 1st round picks (from various teams of their choosing) any day now.

7.) 10 Jun 2015 14:53:48
Nice!

06 Jun 2015 00:35:31
It has been reported that Malkin is not happy and would welcome a change would the Leafs be interested in acquiring one of the best centres in the league!
TML - Kessel, Gardiner, 2016 1st
PIT - Malkin
Would the Oilers try to make a move here
EDM - RNH, 2016 1st
PIT - Malkin
Imagine Kessel on the same line with Crosby OMG he would score 50+ goals a year if he scores 30+ with Bozak!

1.) 06 Jun 2015 08:17:37
Not a chance that gets you Malkin (from Toronto) also Toronto is rebuilding and this would cause a complete 180 in which they would push for the playoffs--probably still miss but the pick would not be a top 10 which is not worth it for the Pens. Gardiner doesn't really fit into a Pittsburgh style of play--they are trying to get better at defense not worse. I will admit though Kessel would look nasty next to Sid. I could see 45+ goals easy. Would be nice for Phil.

2.) 06 Jun 2015 09:13:18
Prototypical deluded leafs fan proposal. Please tell me this is a joke. Good god.

3.) 06 Jun 2015 10:19:16
Oilers do not need Malkin, they are good in the middle.

Pens would not take Kessels bad contract and TML do not have (enough) players who are interested for Pens (except JVR)

4.) 06 Jun 2015 15:27:26
So Kessel a point per game player and gardiner who has a crazy high ceiling as far as potential goes and a first rd pick won't get it done but nugent Hopkins who yes is very talented but what has he proved so far that he could score less than a point per game pace and a 2016 first can get it done wow somebody hates the leafs! The deal is bad and if Malkin gets traded it's not for established talent like Kessel

Think more along the lines of

Jvr, nylander, Percy and 2016 1st rd pick lottery protected

And from Edmonton your starting with

Eberle/hall, draisaitl , dumoulin/Harrington and 2016 1st rd pick lottery protected

5.) 06 Jun 2015 17:30:47
Uhh, since when does Gardiner have a "crazy high ceiling"? If anything, the ceiling has started crumbling above him and is barely above his head. He and Schultz both have not developed into the players they were projected to. Not saying they still can't, but it ain't lookin good.

As for the proposal, the RNH/Malkin bit is also horrible but I didn't even see that til now. I read the leafs bit of the proposal, saw how bad it was, and stopped reading.

6.) 06 Jun 2015 20:21:01
Any team that gets Malkin will most likely have to give up two roster players so like kessel and jvr or even phaneuf atleast one good prospect so like nylander maybe even Percy or Finn and a first

7.) 07 Jun 2015 18:44:07
crazy trades, its like like Malkin is 20 yrs old or anything eh LOL yeah sure he can still score so can Kessel but to give up the farm? LMAO! like someone said in an earlier post. SOMEONE HATES THE LEAFS!! eh! LOL!

03 Jun 2015 14:13:54
Its true it has been reported on FAN 590 in Toronto and on many web sites that TML and the Canes are in very serious discussion about a huge trade involving Semin and the 5th overall pick. Carolina can't afford to buy Semin out. He makes 7m x 3y to not play! It will cost Carolina dearly
TML - Bozak, 24th pick 2015,
Reimer, B prospect, Lupul
CAR - 5th overall pick, Semin,
Skinner (concussion issues)
Ward
All players involved need a change badly and Carolina is desperate Not sure how it fits in Leafs
salary structure 19m coming in 11m going out

1.) 03 Jun 2015 14:47:02
Not happening. That's a huge overpayment by CAR.

2.) 03 Jun 2015 18:26:12
Sorry but this isn't from any credible sources. We started that rumour here (Semin & 5th for Roster Player and #24 pick) and on other Leaf forums and news sources decided to go with it. Pretty sure the last person to "push" the idea was Dean Blundell.

25 May 2015 13:24:08
Yzerman is running into problems in the near future he has some wonderful up and coming superstar forwards but how can he possibly afford to keep them all and don't forget Stamkos is ufa in 2016-17 the only solution is to trade Stamkos now let's face facts Tampa has had success in the playoffs this year not because of Stamkos how about this proposal:
TML - 1st pick (4th) Gardiner
TAM - Stamkos
Leafs extend Stamkos 10M x 8 Y
Finally someone to play with Kessel

1.) 25 May 2015 13:46:05
Buddy, your what's wrong with the world. Your the bad kind of leaf fan.

2.) 25 May 2015 13:51:49
Yzerman is decent at managing the cap I don't think he's in a situation where he couldn't resign Stamkos especially for 10 mill. If he did trade Stamkos he'd get more than that. 4th overall pick is a good start but Gardiner would have some difficulty cracking Tampas top 6 and they have young offensive defenseman on the way who will do his job for cheaper. All adding a top forward prospect with that pick and Gardiner contract to be a bottom pair/7th d man would do is make the same issues in the future while getting worse now

3.) 25 May 2015 13:58:23
And then we all woke up and went on with our days.

4.) 25 May 2015 13:59:50
Hahahahahahaha Not even close.

5.) 25 May 2015 14:02:02
I'm out of words. This is beyond awful on so many levels, unbelievable.

1. You might not be aware, but Stamkos is 2nd in playoff points. 14 points in his last 10 and a 4 game goal scoring streak. Not too shabby. Plus he's an excellent leader.
2. Johnson and Palat have two more years at $3.33m. Kucherov has one more year on his ELC. Hedman has two more years at 4m. They get the 1.6m they retained on Gagner off the books when the new Stamkos contract kicks in. Cap is expected to raise significantly with the new TV deals. There are about 15 other player that would be traded because of cap trouble, before Stamkos would (like Carle, Filppula, Callahan, maybe Bishop some day). After next season, TB will likely be able to trade Bishop's 6m/year because Vasilevski is ready to overtake as the starter. ELCs of young talent like Erne, Vasilevski, Point, Koekkoek, DeAngelo run either another two or another 3 years. Lastly, Yzerman is a genius when it comes to managing cap (and basically everything else as well).
3. Even IF they would even be remotely close to consider trading Stamkos, they'd get pretty precisely 28 better offers.
Gardiner? Really?! Keep his turnovers in Toronto, TB already has 10 NHL-ready defenseman (Hedman, Stralman, Coburn, Garrison, Carle, Sustr, Witkowski, Barberio, Nesterov, Koekkoek) with more coming up in the next years (DeAngelo, Blujus for example). Why would TB pay Gardiner $4m to sit in their pressbox?
And wow, how about actually taking a thought before posting stuff, bud. 4th, Rielly, Nylander, JVR is your starting bid and that's still a big no from TB (should be one from TOR as well, since it doesn't make sense for either team).
4. Please, please keep your wet dreams far, far away from this site. It's annoying to read such "posts".

6.) 25 May 2015 18:30:14
im pretty sure some players will take paycuts for the team the lightning r stacked and a legit contender

7.) 25 May 2015 21:02:35
Chill bro

8.) 25 May 2015 22:08:03
First its a business I don't believe in paycut!

Secondly : if in tampa I would extend there contract This summer cause they can only get bether and they going to cost a lot more next year!

Finaly ahAhAha This is so wrongahah shame on you to think that stamkos is worth gardiner and 4th overall!
A lot of bether destinations including montreal would pay a much bigger price for him!
Face it its not because stamkos live in Toronto that he want to play there! I would not be suprise if leaf are in the team we put to not go in is no trade close

9.) 25 May 2015 22:20:27
@ Drais

I thought you were out of words?

Either way, dumb trade. And for those of you who are new, yes, my username is a use of satire.

10.) 26 May 2015 02:06:58
Tampa would just move the contracts of the likes of a garrison,carle,stralman,Callahan,filpula before even thinking about letting stamkos leave. and if he was traded it would be for a big overpayment

11.) 26 May 2015 10:07:30
^scratch stralman off of that list. He's been lights out and the most consistent player all year. True first pairing defenseman and an outstanding fit with Hedman at 4.5m per. doesn't get any better.

@stammer: Yeah, I kinda found my words after settling down and I had some time so I thought ima explain it to him

12.) 28 May 2015 15:37:54
they keep Stamkos at any cost. sells tickets in a tough place to sell tickets. that deal would have to be Kessel, the 4th overall pick, Gardiner, and Gauthier. at least.

22 May 2015 14:03:02
With Babcock coming to town certain things will change a need of a no 1 dman is at the top of his list trading their picks this year should accomplish this there is a significant drop in quality after McDavid so
LA - Doughty
TML - Reilly, 1st (4th) 2015
You have to give to get
Or how about Pieterangelo either defenceman fits with what Babcock wants maybe there is a way of getting both if you involve Kessel and the other 1st pick (24th)

1.) 22 May 2015 14:09:09
Hahahah I actual lol'd. doughty isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Besides this is a bad trade for both teams

2.) 22 May 2015 14:21:45
the leafs should take their time and look at their whole team and do a rebuild

3.) 22 May 2015 14:25:59
LA is in win now mode and leafs are committed to a long term re-build. How does this make any sense whatsoever for either team involved?

4.) 22 May 2015 14:26:07
Actually, this is just bad for the Kings.

5.) 22 May 2015 14:34:51
defeats the purpose of a REBUILD!

leafs need to develop their own stud players. and actually be patient with them

6.) 22 May 2015 15:22:25
Never knew missing the playoffs was 'win now' mode.

7.) 22 May 2015 17:44:58
Yeah the leaf got to add

8.) 22 May 2015 17:48:05
oyyy this wasnt a great post. as most guys said its a bad trade for both teams. this defeats the purpose of the leafs rebuild giving up their best d prospect and possibly their newest best prospect (in general) in marner/hanafin/strome. and I just don't see the reason the kings would trade the best dman in hockey. especially when u have such a good team around him let them rest this off season and they will be back in the finals next year

but yeah overall not a great post

9.) 22 May 2015 18:40:03
No from both sides. Although Doughty is a tremendous player, the Leafs value 2 top talents more than 1 superstar player.

Having Reilly (future #1 defenseman) and either Strome (#1 Centre) or Hannifin (#1 defenseman) is better than having one player.

10.) 23 May 2015 01:10:27
Lol doughty is bether then those two guy combine and will be bether them them in a future two

Rielly seem to be a good d man but that it we won't be a superstar

11.) 23 May 2015 01:12:39
Even if you draft strome he might end up like Kylie turis
Who was a top 3 pick and end up being a ordinarry first Line center

12.) 23 May 2015 15:01:18
This is a deep draft Montrealsfinest and strome may not be a superstar but will be an elite centre and better than your buddy chucky as you would call him and reilly will be a top 2 D and better than the nine million goof D Subban, no offence Subban

13.) 23 May 2015 18:26:04
I strongly desagree on that bud ahaha you're team is still going to pit in the bottom of the ranking ahaha
You know that you can trust leaf fan they said that phaneuf is a stud d and that gardiner is a Norris contender ahaha
!

Since when a superstar d man is worst then a number 2 d man ahah that just dumb

14.) 24 May 2015 09:22:32
Strome will be better then Galchenyuk but Reily will not be better then Subban.

15.) 24 May 2015 10:54:46
Will see yep will see cause strome still did not do anything in the nhl maybe in 5 years from Now we will know who was right

22 Jun 2015 02:28:49
Trading Phil Kessel now I think at this time would be a HUGE mistake! Mark my words the Leafs would regret it for years to come. Poor Kessel fourth most goals in the past five years only behind Ovechkin, Stamkos and Perry and the look who is passing him the puck BOZAK! I guarantee put Kessel on Getzlaf's line he scores 50+ goals a year. Bozak is a third line centre at best! So I just thought of a great idea let's get Phil a true number one centre!Trade the number one pick (4th overall) can get you that player that Kessel needs ie Pavalski, Duschene, etc.
Come on Leafs what more do you want from the guy all he does is score! Its like Mats Sundin all over again not the same player but the same story all Sundin played with was Hoglund and Renberg what a JOKE! Kessel and Bozak another funny JOKE! HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF!

1.) 22 Jun 2015 11:46:46
Montrealfinest 2.0

12 Jun 2015 15:22:49
I believe Brandon Saad will be the next star of the NHL and the Hawks might loose him to a team that can pay! This is where I think the Leafs jump in! Yes they are in rebuild but Saad is only 22 and the perfect player that Babcock dreams about! The Leafs will offer 5.25 M x 7 years. A contract that the Hawks could not match. In this case comp will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick in 2016 more than fair

1.) 12 Jun 2015 15:59:28
Then the Hawks trade Patrick sharp for a late first round pick and move Bickell if need. Hawks Match and keep their future star. All though the draft picks would be nice as the 1st could be a top 10 Hawks will match.

2.) 12 Jun 2015 16:12:11
The Leafs are not going to offer sheet Saad and even if they did it's a big mistake.

3.) 12 Jun 2015 19:00:50
Leafs aren't really in a position to give up there draft picks, could potentially be top 3. Saad would probably take less money to stay in Chicago anyway

4.) 12 Jun 2015 19:47:51
2 huge problems

1. say CHI doesn't match that, i'd rather not give them a top 5 pick net year.

2. CHI will almost certainly match regardless, as they just have to move bickell/sharp and there is the cap space to fit in his 5.7 mil cap hit.

05 Jun 2015 12:47:41
If I were the Leafs I would not want anything to do with Semin! He is half the player he used to be and he had a bad rap even when he was scoring 30+ goals! Now I believe Jeff Skinner can be had for a very reasonable price sure he has concussion issues but there are many players around the league with same issues ie Crosby. I believe with a change of local he can go back to what he once was a 30+ goal scorer

1.) 05 Jun 2015 17:17:44
I thought the leafs wanted semen?

2.) 05 Jun 2015 21:41:31
yea, the leafs want semin just as much as everyon else in the league does. use your head buddy, you're sounding as ridiculous as chirp. they are WILLING to take him if they HAVE TO to make a deal they like happen.

3.) 05 Jun 2015 23:17:14
Semin is a more severe case of Kessel. Longer drought, doesn't try as hard BUT he only has 3 years left of 7 mil not 7 at 8mil. Not saying Kessel will continue to have bad years cause I think he'll turn it around next season.

4.) 06 Jun 2015 07:00:33
kessel's "bad year" was still good enough for 46th in the league in points. I agree it wasnt up to the standard he had set by his performance in the 3 previous years, but its not like he fell off and did absolutely nothing.

5.) 06 Jun 2015 12:54:51
Considering what he earned and how in Leafs fans minds he's a top 10 player in the league. he did in fact do nothing.
And the bad part is, if he doesn't score, he's worth ****. No defense, no leadership, nothing.

6.) 06 Jun 2015 17:22:17
really no point in me countering that, you're getting more and more like Chirp and Montrealfinest every day lol.

7.) 07 Jun 2015 00:42:32
Your right drais about defense and leadership but stats don't lie. Kessel is a sniper and finished top 10 in the league multiple times. I really hope Babcock can make him a complete player like Trotz did with Ovechkin. If they do trade Kessel, he will bring back a nice package. I know there's a lot of leaf haters because of some ridiculous posts but every fan base over values there players. I just started looking at this site again recently and I see nothing has changed. Let's go Tampa!

8.) 07 Jun 2015 03:25:51
AhAhaha Shankar you're so full of hate pathetic
You don't want to answer This because you know is right!
Kessel is a overpaid overweight top 20 players at best! How come is in the top ten when hab got 3 surely bether player then him in patch, price and sub! 2 of them are hand down bether then him in patch and price and its a 50/50 debate on saying that subban is bether then kessel

9.) 07 Jun 2015 09:25:05
Shankar how about actually making some points. I think we can more or less agree that Kessels main/only value is scoring. He won't help you on D or any intangibles. So if even this one quality (he can be good at it, no doubt), is down and I mean really down last year, there's nothing left he brings to the table. Nothing.

10.) 07 Jun 2015 14:40:52
drais your missing shankars point. you're saying he isn't a top player and brings nothing other than scoring. one bad season doesn't erase his past success.

patrick kane isn't much of a defensive player, so what if he has a down year next year making HUGE money and chicago misses the playoffs, is not a top scoring player in the league anymore?

one bad season doesn't negate his entire value or that fact that he still finished top 50 in the league in scoring, pretty sure that's good enough for a top line player in a 30 team league, top line players eventually make top line money, which is the way the salary cap works. i'm sure plenty of teams would value a 35 goal scorer in his prime. just needs the right situation. kessel would flourish in a smaller market, less eyes on him, he wouldn't be getting pushed down our throats daily in the media.

i personally hope they keep him and let babs work with him. but if they do trade him, the package will be decent.

11.) 07 Jun 2015 15:35:09
Thats a brilliant point ^

12.) 07 Jun 2015 17:24:51
thats exactly what i'm saying, 1 bad year (that wasnt even all that bad production wise) doesn't somehow magically erase his past 3 years.

and, like ovie said as well, you totally missed the point I made about his stats. 3 top liners in the league, miltiplied by 30 teams = 90 players. kessel was 46th in the league (even on a down year) so he was still better than right about half of players that play top line in the league.

13.) 07 Jun 2015 17:26:06
and montrealfinest, thak yo for complimenting kessel, callling him a top 20 player in the leagu and all. must be better than pacioretty then, because he's no top 20 player in the league.

14.) 07 Jun 2015 19:55:59
He is a top offensive player in the league but I wouldn't trade the future for him. If your in a rebuild you don't want to build around him and not many teams can afford to pay him 8 million. So the handful of teams that would trade for him wouldn't offer a huge package. He still produced but it was a down year so until his stock rises he won't get a lot but ya never know what could happen.

15.) 07 Jun 2015 21:12:05
Pacioretty> kessel

16.) 11 Jun 2015 08:30:11
Kessel is not top 5 offensive player in the NHL, he is behind at least, Crosby, Ovie, Kane, Malkin, Stamkos, Tavares, Benn, Getzlaf, Perry, Toews, Datsyuk, Teresenko (soon). I don't care if stats might say otherwise but I would take any of these guys WAY before Kessel.
Seguin even.

16 May 2015 00:30:59
I am not convinced at anyone becoming a superstar from this years draft except for McDavid. If I were Shanahan I would be willing to trade my pick for a true number one centre to play with Kessel
The two centres I would be willing to trade this pick for is Joe Pavalski or Matt Duschene I would make a push for Pavalski do you guys remember the magic both he and Kessel created at the olympics finally a stud centre the first to come along since Sundin left!

1.) 16 May 2015 14:29:03
Really what do you consider a super star?

2.) 21 May 2015 01:09:17
Leafs are not about to trade away that 4th pick. They are in a rebuild that focuses on youth and development. They will keep the pick.

14 May 2015 14:18:04
The weakness Edmonton has is clear
1 No goalie
2 No stud Defenceman
3 No true leader
Well this can be fixed with one trade and we all know Edmonton new GM has got the balls to fix it
EDM - McDavid, Hall
LA - D Doughty, J Quick, D Brown
Lets face facts no one is sure what McDavid will be one day and Hall is never healthy Doughty is a top 3 dman in the NHL Quick top 4 goalie and Brown is the captain of 2 cup teams it fixes all problems

1.) 14 May 2015 18:42:19
If no one knows what McDavid will be and Hall is never healthy, LA does this trade because?

Giving up that much for a pending ufa in 2016 is NUTS! I would rather take my chances in trying to sign him when he is ufa. Yes it is me the one who first proposed a Stamkos trade listen why would you give up half your team for a future ufa Stamkos might surprise you he might sign he might sign here and all you give up is $ 11M x 7 everyone said Babcock would never come here well guess what he did for the$ Stamkos will do the same
