Leafs Deadline deal

1. Washington: Jensen and Dowd (50% retained) For 2024 1st 3rd NYI, Timmins, voit and Niemala

Bertuzzi Matthews Robertson
Jarnkrok Domi Nylander
Knies Tavares Marner
Dowd Kampf Mcmann

Reilly Jensen
Brodie Liligrin
McCabe Benoit
Lybushkin
* Gio LTIR *

Woll
Samsonov
Jones


To Explain the Roster shift.

Marner and Matthews is to predictable as they will get shut down so they should diversfy the lines and have Tavares and Brodie more realistic roles. Also will have one extra Goalie and defencemen to rotate in and out.

01 Mar 2024 18:33:12
It's important note only dowd is 50% retained for the deal.

02 Mar 2024 19:55:13
we just traded for lyubushkin and your already benching him until an injury. nty.

02 Mar 2024 19:58:26
A 1st for those 2 is steep. Maybe Simplify it to Timmons, Volt and 1st for the two. But I don’t think these 2 will require a 1st but that’s a trade I wouldn’t hate as a leafs fan.

02 Mar 2024 21:04:38
seems like an overpayment from TOR

26 Feb 2024 18:44:31
I have a creative 3 way trade similar to the trade that brought Ryan O'Reilly to The Leafs.

Chicago Trades Gust (AHL) to Washington for Mantha and The Capitals retain 50% of Mantha's expiring contract.

Toronto Trades a 1st Round Pick 2024 and their 2024 3rd Round Pick (NYI Pick) to The Capitals for Gust.

Chicago Trades Mantha with Chicago retaining another 50% of Mantha's expiring contact to The Leafs for NRobertson.

So in the end Washington trades Mantha retaining half his salary and getting a 1st Round Pick and a 3rd Round Pick in 2024 from Toronto.
Chicago gets NRobertson and retaining another 50% of Mantha's contract.
And Toronto gets Mantha and Gust.
With 2 retaining of 50% by both Washington and Chicago yes Toronto can fit Mantha into their cap.


Thoughts ?

26 Feb 2024 20:32:28
Toronto passes. A 1st, 3rd and Robertson for a 30 year old ahler and Mantha who when healthy is an average hockey player. No thanks.

21 Feb 2024 11:22:39
WSH - Martin Fehervary, Nic Dowd & 2024 4th
TOR - 2024 1st

DAL - Jani Hakanpaa, Radek Faksa & 2024 7th
TOR - Tyler Bertuzzi


Matthew Knies - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner
Max Domi - John Tavares - William Nylander
Bobby McMann - Radek Faksa - Calle Jarnkrok
Nic Dowd - David Kampf - Nicholas Robertson / Ryan Reaves

Morgan Rielly - TJ Brodie
Martin Fehervary - Jake McCabe
Simon Benoit - Jani Hakanpaa / Timothy Liljegren

Ilya Samsonov
Joseph Woll

21 Feb 2024 13:14:02
I actually like those but I don’t think Washington moves Fehravary.

21 Feb 2024 14:31:22
- WSH & DAL decline.

- Dowd left with an upper body injury last night, but if he's healthy he'll definitely be sought after, and teams like the Rangers will definitely overpay to get him. If he's healthy I expect to see him on Broadway.

14 Feb 2024 15:18:52
2 trade proposals.

First One.
Minnesota Trades
Bogosian
1st Round Pick 2025*

Toronto Trades
Liljegren

*Lottery Protected


Second One.
St.Louis Trade
Buchnevich+

Toronto Trades
Kampf
NRobertson
1st Round Pick 2025 (Wild Pick)

+Blues retain 50% of Buchnevich's remaining 2 year contract.


First proposal very similar to The Rasmus Sandin trade with Washington at last season's deadline and it gives Toronto what they are looking for.

Second Proposal improves the Top Line or second LW position, the prior proposal keeps The Leafs 1st Rounder this upcoming draft using The Wilds pick in 2025.


Thoughts ?

14 Feb 2024 18:39:23
- Minny is definitely trying to build through the draft, especially given their crushing buyout penalties. They are unlikely to trade a 1st. (Do you think you might be a tad overvaluing Lilly? )

- I'm not sure why STL would retain 2 seasons of Boosh & take on 4 years of Kampf @ 2.4M/ year.

- You explain how this helps the leafs, but you leave out an equally important part: how does this help the other teams involved? There has to be a fit for both teams, otherwise what's the point?

14 Feb 2024 20:04:04
Bogo would refuse to even get on a plane to return to Toronto.

14 Feb 2024 21:17:12
1 Sure the capitals made a similar trade a year ago, but are they a better team now than they were then?
2 Exchange veteran kampf for a prospect like Cowan or mittens, kampf could easily be perceived as a dump to make the cap work for the leafs rather than value to the blues.

15 Feb 2024 06:42:02
Liljegren isn’t worth a 1st and the second trade doesnt meet the Blues needs at all

18 Feb 2024 04:21:26
Buch would require knies and first since he has 1.5 years and retention and 1 year cap dump.

07 Feb 2024 19:21:24
Trades for the Oilers

EDM
Perron
Reimer($750,000 retained)
Seider

DET
2024 1st round pick (EDM)

Broberg
Ceci
Campbell($1,000,000 retained)

EDM

07 Feb 2024 20:45:19
Detroit says no. Washington says. hmm. maybe.

07 Feb 2024 21:11:48
Detroit laughs uncontrollably!

07 Feb 2024 21:29:54
Stevie Y is a Hall of Fame player & Executive.

Let's give him a little credit.

19 Jan 2024 16:23:09
Chris Tanev 50% retained Dan Vladar To Toronto maple leafs for a 2 round pick nicholas Robertson and Frazier Minton


Elias Lindhome 50 percent retained to Washington captials for 1 round pick 2024 and 2025 ALIAKSEI PROTAS


Noah hannfin 50% retained and Dillon Dube Ruzicka and 2025 capitals 1 round to Flyers for YEGOR ZAMULA and TRAVIS KONECNY



Calgary lineup
Jonathan hubs yegor sharigovich KONECNY
Zary. Kadri Robertson or pospisl
Coleman backend magi
Yegor zamula Robertson or pospisl Klapka


Weager kylington
Anderson Gilbert
Deismone and yan kuznetove

I think this works out for both team pretty well Calgary gets pick back and players miss the playoffs this year get a high draft pick and retool next year defence core lacks a little bit
Toronto gets a goalie and a defencman
Which they needed capitals get a number one center to help ovi flyers get hannfin great defence dube had a bad year needs a new area and ruzicka
your guys thoughts ?

19 Jan 2024 23:03:02
Mabey not protas

19 Jan 2024 23:41:21
Lindholm can get more, overpayment for Konecny but also makes no sense for the Flyers and idk how to feel about the Leafs trade.

29 Dec 2023 11:50:33
CGY - Andrew Mangiapane
WSH - Anthony Mantha

30 Dec 2023 22:02:57
Is Mangiapane that bad?

31 Dec 2023 02:50:48
@vbb he hasn’t been good at all this season

01 Jan 2024 21:07:42
But Mantha is useless.

01 Jan 2024 23:12:01
Exactly, downgrading would get them a better draft pick and he’s a UFA after this season so they also free up cap for next season.

06 Dec 2023 02:30:16
Broberg on the block, McMichael has been on the block for a while. Both players could benefit from a change of scenery.

EDM - Philip Broberg
WSH - Connor McMichael


Broberg was drafted #8 in 2019, McMichael drafted #25 in 2019.

06 Dec 2023 18:24:43
I think that looks realistic.

26 Oct 2023 15:49:35
WSH: Mantha & 2nd (2025)

MTL: Future Considerations


- WSH needs cap space now to improve their roster or their season will be over by U.S. Thanksgiving.

- MTL has plenty of cap space with injuries & LTIR relief.

- WSH is apparently in on Connor Garland, and getting rid of Mantha's full final year of 5.7M would provide the space necessary for this season.

26 Oct 2023 17:46:36
They get cap space by moving Kuznetsov who requested a trade.

26 Oct 2023 19:43:26
HRENKLIN:

- it is absolutely possible that WSH moves Kuznetsov.

- I suspect it will be easier for WSH to move Mantha at 1 X 5.7M than Kuznetsov’s 2 X 7.8M.

- Kuznetsov’s NTC means he’ll have some say in where he ends up, whereas Mantha lacks any trade protection.

Regardless, it will be interesting to see what WSH does. They don’t seem to be as serious about making the playoffs as they are in getting Ovie to break the great one’s goals record.

27 Oct 2023 00:56:24
Deadline most likely, full retention, I can see a team like Winnipeg or Dallas being interested.

Ovie isnoffnto a slow start, but is catching wind now. He'll pass gretz eventually, probably go the selanne pp specialist route at some point.

27 Oct 2023 09:07:25
Good trade

27 Oct 2023 17:52:22
HRENKLIN: I suspect WSH will be forced to make a move sooner than the deadline. My guess is WSH makes a move by mid-November to clear cap space and add missing parts to their lineup.

Also, I tend to agree with you that Ovie will pass the Great One. The organization is firmly dedicated to that, so it will happen at some point.

27 Oct 2023 20:35:20
Washington season was over before it started, this is an aging team that hung on to long without injecting new life.
This organization seems content to get Ovi the record, but not be a contender.
They will have a shot at a top 5 pick this year however.

19 Oct 2023 12:16:41
To Vancouver Canucks :
LW/RW - Anthony Mantha (5.70 @ 1 UFA)

To Washington Capitals :
LW/RW - Anthony Beauvillier (4.12 @ 1 UFA)
G - Casey DeSmith (1.80 @ 1 UFA)

20 Oct 2023 23:25:10
Vancouver is trying to clear some space and move garland, so highly unlikely they want a worse contract coming back.

04 Nov 2023 06:12:06
No. try harder.

22 Nov 2023 21:11:26
Van says no chance. Mantha is about as useful as a boat anchor in the desert.

19 Aug 2023 10:26:51
To Minnesota Wild :
C - Evgeny Kuznetsov ( 4.68 @ 2 UFA )
( 40% Salary Retained )

LW - Marcus Foligno ( 3.10 @ 1 UFA )
7th Round Pick in 2025 - MIN
LW - Marcus Johansson ( 2.00 @ 2 UFA )



Kirill Kaprizov - Joel Eriksson Ek - Matthew Boldy
Marco Rossi - Evgeny Kuznetsov - Mats Zuccarello
Frederick Gaudreau - Ryan Hartman - Pavel Novak
Brandon Duhaime - Connor Dewar - Patrick Maroon

Jonas Brodin - Jared Spurgeon

Martin Fehervary - John Carlson
Joel Edmundson - Nick Jensen
Rasmus Sandin - James Van Riemsdyk

19 Aug 2023 17:55:55
Trevor* not James lmao

19 Aug 2023 19:35:04
Good one Casual ?.

20 Aug 2023 15:13:38
washinton laughs at you. you want to trade a top line center quality player for 2 cap dumps and 1st and 7th, and that doesnt even bring in the 40% retention for 2 years. aside from the 1st, there is not a single asset they would want out of that.

28 Aug 2023 10:31:32
fair if kunetzov cares, I think he gets less.

19 Aug 2023 05:50:19
To Washington Capitals :
RW - William Nylander ( 6.96 @ 1 UFA )

To Toronto Maple Leafs :
1st Round Pick in 2024 - WSH
C/LW - Connor McMichael ( 863k @ 1 RFA )
RW - Anthony Mantha ( 3.99 @ 1 UFA )
[ 35% Salary Retention on Mantha ]



Tyler Bertuzzi - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner
Matthew Knies - John Tavares - Anthony Mantha
Max Domi - Connor McMichael - Calle Jarnkrok
Sam Lafferty - David Kampf - Ryan Reaves

Morgan Rielly - TJ Brodie

Sonny Milano - Dylan Strome - Tom Wilson
Aliaksei Protas - Nic Dowd - Nicolas Aube-Kubel

Martin Fehervary - John Carlson
Joel Edmundson - Nick Jensen
Rasmus Sandin - Trevor Van Riemsdyk

19 Aug 2023 10:15:29
Sorry forgot to post the reasons

Reasons the Leafs do it
- Cap Flexibility
- Size
- Depth
- Much needed Draft Pick (they currently hold 19/25 in 2024-2026)
- Promising Prospect that could be a cheaper option moving forward

Reasons the Caps do it
- Skill
- Surplus 2 players on their trading block


Washington would probably have to add maybe another piece now that I look at it but imo it isn’t too far off

19 Aug 2023 13:59:25
a little too much for Nylander.

20 Aug 2023 15:25:01
maybe nylander for kuznetzof (50%) mantha

But, this doesnt solve the true problem the leafs have had for years, a true big bodied RHD that is solid defensively and not affraid to take a murder puck slapper from the point.

22 Aug 2023 15:38:05
Hrenklin- Luke Schenn, Zach Bogosian, Douglas Murray, etc no clue what kind of dman you’re referring to but the leafs have had a tons of physical bottom pair guys. They need a Trouba or Larsson and ideally a top 5 dman in the game like a Sieder or McAvoy ( which can only be had through draft. Overall there defence is pretty good at the moment tho.

Rielly-Brodie
McCabe-Lilijgren
Girodano-Klingberg.

18 Aug 2023 21:20:04
Mtl- dvorak-anderson-desmith

Wsh- Kuznetsov-mantha



Wsh want to get rid of Mantha and Kuznetsov ask for a trade,

Anderson Ovechkin and Wilson will make the caps a very heavy and gritty team build for the playoff and Dvorak make a perfect 3 Rd line center for them.

Habs can play Mantha and Kuznetsov in their top 6 , retain on Mantha at deadline and same thing with Kuznetsov next year

Caufield-suzuki-dach
Newhook-kuznetsov-mantha

Fair or who add?

19 Aug 2023 19:46:05
I get the fit, with Mantha being a local boy and all, but if I was Hughes I’d be keeping Anderson and trading for younger guys whose age is in line with MTL’s rebuild ?.

14 Aug 2023 06:27:21
Calgary: Hanifan ,4th Washington: kunetzov, 2.5 retained, oshie, 2nd , 4th. Chicago: retained and oshie. Calgary gets kunetzov and Washington 4th. Washington gets Hanifan. Chicago gets Washington
2nd and Calgary's 4th. . Reason is all teams cap compliant , oshie is old and overpaid but Chicago can handle his contract. Hanifan and kunetzov want out. Chicago gets another veteran that could flip next deadline if he plays well or keep him for q more year.

10 Aug 2023 12:45:14
Calgary: Hanifan, 4th Carolina:pesce, 4th Washington: kunetzov, 2.75mil retained. 3rd Hanifan to Carolina, pesce to Washington, kunetzov to Calgary. 3rd and 4th and 4th to any team to retain 2.75 mil for 2 years for nothing.

25 Jul 2023 11:47:35
Washington: kunetzov
Chicago: 2024 2nd(la)

23 Jul 2023 06:15:29
Three way! Washington: kunetzov 7.8 (3m retained for 2 years) and 3rd
Calgary: Hanifan and 4th
chicago: chicago will receive the 3rd and 4th for the retention . Just random thoughts, washington does need left de and kunetzov wants out

10 Jul 2023 23:37:42
Washington: Evegini Kuznetzkov and Anthony Mantha

San Jose: Logan Couture

Washington- Kuznetzkov has asked for a trade and is actively being shopped. Couture is a solid upgrade and they unload the Mantha contract which would allow them to sign Taresanko.

San Jose: the sharks get younger and get out of the couture contract that will be a nuisance down the road being on the books for 4 more years at 8 mil as a 34 year old.

12 Jul 2023 11:04:07
Couture only gets traded when and where he wants and i doubt Washington is a top 3 destination. And no signs of drop off yet, kunetzov was unhappy and just stopped trying. Nobody is taking him.

10 Jul 2023 19:54:06
MTL:

- Armia (50% Retained x 2 years)
- 2024 3rd (MIN)
- 2024 7th (WSH)

ANYONE: Future Considerations (Happy Meal WITH Toy)

- MTL clears 1.75M x 2 years

- CHI gets a big body for the 3rd or 4th line, a couple of picks, and a nice snack.

- if he can't be moved, buy out the last 2 years before training camp to be classy to a vet and clear out some excess forwards & one less distraction for camp.

BUYOUT DETAILS:

2023-24: 0.033M
2024-25: 1.033M
2025-26: 1.433M
2026-27: 1.433M

10 Jul 2023 22:35:05
Nope nobody will help Montreal.
Homer Deal to help Montreal out.

11 Jul 2023 04:44:26
I’m laughing out loud at you Pinball…you have the emotions of a toddler. ?

I look forward to your next trade where you unload crap for another team’s star player, and then have THEM retain half the salary. (For zero compensation of course?)

11 Jul 2023 12:23:01
Doable, but at this point, MTL doesn't really need the cap space and the only reason he would be moved would be to free up a roster spot. If I'm MTL and I want to add a roster spot, I'd be more inclined to put him on waivers instead of giving out assets to unload his contract

11 Jul 2023 12:30:40
@Pinball lol, if you think this is a homer deal, you should look at the many trades someone called Pinballisback has proposed on this forum. Rarely have seem someone post so much homer takes

11 Jul 2023 13:28:20
MATADOR: I hear you, and while I typically don't like trading picks and/ or buyouts, I'm not sure Armia gets moved on waivers where he has the 2nd year, and just isn't effective enough, often enough.

Habs have too many forwards, and I believe in treating the vets right, so I think it would be great if MTL can move Hoffman & Armia before training camp. At half price they can each return value, and retaining on their existing contracts is definitely preferrable to spreading out the pain with a buyout.

I think the week of final training camp cuts will be even more interesting than it usually is with so many teams up against it.

08 Jul 2023 02:47:54
Just spit balling here...

Vancouver trades:

Vancouver - Boeser

Minnesota - 3rd round pick 2024 (2nd round in $$ retained)


Vancouver - Garland

Washington - 2nd round pick 2025

*Washington would have to trade Mantha to make this work**

-------------------------------

I think Vancouver could get Hoglander to fulfill what Garland does, but at a cheaper cap hit.

I think Boesers spot could be filled by Podkolzin.

Then Vancouver should pursue Max Comtois on a "Show me" contract.

If Myers is traded, Dumba could be a great addition... pending the contract. (No more than 3 years @ 4 million)

08 Jul 2023 17:28:38
- MIN has around 8M to fill 7 roster spots

- Boeser costs 6.65M

- with 2 more seasons of 14M+ in dead cap MIN isn’t in a position to add a nice piece like Boeser, even at the bargain you’re offering. It would be tempting, but they’re in cap hell for two more years.
