Chicago Trades
Future Considerations
Toronto Trades
Brodie
NRobertson
Chicago has the cap and could use a veteran defenceman that can be traded at the deadline with salary retained, Brodie at 2.5 million if Chicago retains half of his salary and any team needing a defenceman at the deadline would probably be able to afford that, adding NRobertson is the sacrifice Toronto has to make to shed that salary.
Leafs can then add a defenceman like a Peeke or Lyubushkin to play with Rielly and be under the cap.

You’re a lost record man. No leaf’s fan besides you wants Brodie gone he’s the leafs best dman. If anything why wouldn’t the give Rielly away if he makes 2 million more. Rielly isn’t as good defensively and Klingberg can replace his offence.

So please tell me who goes to get the cap under the limit?
Lafferty isn't enough, the only one that makes sense is Brodie because of the 5 million cap hit, this gives The Leafs enough cap to replace Brodie if need be, or sign Patrick Kane if he decides to sign in Toronto, subtraction for addition in trading Brodie.

Chicago is done for now they said, but Brodie gets traded maybe to a team that equals salary that has too many winger. Or Toronto sends more for eating his entire salary, like picks or better prospects.

Let me think. Lets trade our best defensive defenceman retain 2.5 million and trade honey baker winner who costs us nothing against the cap and is waiver exempt for nothing. man what are you thinking?
Would you trade Connor Murphy retain 2.5 and Lukas Rychel for nothing?

ANA trades Trevor Zegras
OTT trades Josh Norris
Ottawa creates a little cap space and keep Pinto in the process. Zegras doesn't seem happy with contract talk in Anaheim. Lots of upside to his game. think both teams get what they need.

ANA - Zegras (negotiating rights)
MTL - 2025 1st (CGY), 2024 2nd (COL), 2025 2nd, Farrell, Armia (Cap dump)
With McTavish and Carlsson down the middle, Anaheim has options, since negotiations aren't going too well for Zegras' new contract. They gain multiple picks and a solid LW prospect with good offensive upside. Almost all positions are set in their prospect pool, to the exception of winger position, which this trade improves. Armia is added as cap dump for negotiation leverage with Zegras.
MTL gets a young, solid offensive center that could play with Caufield, his best buddy.

22 Sep 2023 18:43:31
As with any trade of a player of Zegras' quality, it will cost you at least one asset you don't want to give up. One magic bean and a few inconsequential picks and/ or prospects and an uncompensated cap dump won't be considered.

I wouldn't give up zegras for that. Probably mid first, always a maybe, 2 2nds, one Probably very late, another maybe prospect that was a 4th round pick. And expect them to take a cap dump. Future perennial allstar for a bunch of maybes. No thank you.

Friedman mentioned Colorado’s interest in Backlund this season. They also want a backup goalie so I feel they would be the perfect trading partners.
To Colorado Avalanche :
C - Mikael Backlund ( 5.35 @ 1 UFA )
G - Daniel Vladar ( 2.20 @ 2 UFA )
3rd Round Pick in 2025 - CGY
To Calgary Flames :
LD - Samuel Girard ( 5.00 @ 4 UFA )
W - Logan O’Connor ( 1.05 @ 2 UFA )
Flames need a Noah Hanifin replacement for when he’s traded and need to free up a goaltending spot for Dustin Wolf.
Colorado wants another veteran C, want a backup goalie and eventually have to trade a defensemen so they can keep Devon Toews.
This trade would make a lot of sense for both teams.
Jonathan Drouin - Nathan MacKinnon - Mikko Rantanen
Artturi Lehkonen - Ryan Johansen - Valeri Nichushkin
Miles Wood - Mikael Backlund - Tomas Tatar
Andrew Cogliano - Colton Ross - Ben Myers
Devon Toews - Cale Makar
Bowen Byram - Josh Manson
Jack Johnson - Kurtis MacDermid
Alexandar Georgiev
Daniel Vladar
Jonathan Huberdeau - Elias Lindholm - Matt Coronato
Andrew Mangiapane - Nazem Kadri - Yegor Sharangovich
Jakob Pelletier - Blake Coleman - Dillon Dube
Logan O’Connor - Adam Ruzicka - Walker Duehr
Mackenzie Weegar - Rasmus Andersson
Samuel Girard - Chris Tanev
Oliver Kylington - Nikita Zadorov

Nashan
Brodie is a Lefthanded shooting Defenceman and Columbus is stacked on the Rightside compared to the Leftside, plus Brodie would be a Top 3 Defenceman on Columbus.
Lafferty is a solid bottom 6 Winger/ Centre that young teams always add in a rebuild.
Hildeby isn't some throw in prospect, he is a solid Goaltender that could become a future #1, Toronto has plenty of Goaltending Depth coming up but Columbus doesn't.
Peeke is solid but will never be an All-star so honestly don't you believe you are over rating Peeke?
So there you got why this makes sense for Columbus, for Toronto they need to shed some Cap and if this wasn't a Cap situation they are actually weaker after this proposal.

Brodie hasn't played the left side for years man. Might be left handed but he plays better on the right side. Hildeby is a complete unknown in terms of whether his play in Europe will transfer over hear. We had a Swedish goalie before who was suppose to be our saving grace and that blew up in our faces. Just don't see it happening.

Brodie can play either side equally as well, in fact he played a lot with Holl last season with Holl a RHanded Shooting Defenceman.
Hildeby is a very good prospect, to say he isn't is a judgement that has no base at all.
Peeke is a solid Defenceman that fits The Leafs better than he does on Columbus, that's why it makes sense for both Teams imo.

18 Sep 2023 18:15:12
I still don't think pinball realizes brodie isn't gonna get you much, hes a salary hindering weight. Just like he is on Toronto. If Toronto retained 50% they'd get a good return. But as is they'll pay to trade him or take an equal salary for a similar talent.

Toronto: Nick Robertson
LA: Alex Turcotte
Both have had unfortunate injuries that set back their development. Robertson has produced a little more but Turcotte is a C and has the draft Pedigree. Leafs need C depth and LA needs winger depth.
Believable9
Unbelievable12
13 Sep 2023 06:13:09
That's actually a pretty fair deal, however I could see the Kings saying no due to how high Turcotte was drafted. Maybe they're willing to be more patient with him but it is a very fair trade.
Agree5

18 Sep 2023 18:28:24
They both terribly injury prone but turcotte has always been the much better player. If they both had a change of scenery and were healthy, Toronto would win this trade by a mile.

Turcotte when he has played post draft year has not looked better then Robertson at all. Turcotte has 0 Points in NHL and awful AHL stats.

- I'm not sure why the Cup Champs would consider this trade.
- Vegas' D-corps was widely seen as the biggest reason they won a cup with a journeyman goalie. I'm not sure why they'd trade 2 of their top-6 D, who each average 18 mins/ game?
- Trading Nylander for market value will be a challenge because every signal he's telegraphed is that he's going to market (which I certainly have no issue with) Players wait for their shot at UFA, and the high-end ones usually want to maximize their return.
As for the proposed Lewis trade from LA, he just signed there. Teams don't sign free agents and then pull the rug out from underneath them by trading them. It just doesn't happen, unless it's one of those rare "sign and trades".
Furthermore, Lewis was Drafted by LA, and won Cups there, so at 36 he seems to be choosing to "go home" where his NHL career started for one last go-around before retirement.
Last but not least, if Robertson is traded, he'll be a throw-in on a more consequential deal for reasons previously offered.

But I do love the Comp of Tanev to Brodie both very effective defenders who bring a ton to the table outside of offence. I’d absolutely love Tanev on the leafs far, far more then Hanfin. Hanfin is probably better but the leafs don’t need a LHD at all.

To Boston Bruins :
G - Connor Hellebuyck ( 6.16 @ 1 UFA )
C - Mark Scheifele ( 6.12 @ 1 UFA )
another mock trade, this would obviously be a trade that would keep the Jets competitive. Ullmark has been rumoured to be on the trading block and their biggest weakness is C. Assuming the Bruins would have no problem resigning these them, idk though. What do y’all think?

- perhap the B’s replace Carlo with a different positional player than Carlo, who would also play behind DeMelo in the D pairings.
- To get Scheifele and Helly i think BOS would need to include more assets as well.
