The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

[Preston]

Brodie, Gio and Klingberg also only have one year left. They all will probably be replaced by 6’5 dmen by next July.

He's gonna need to acquire a big time d at a reasonable age some how some way. Brodie ain't gonna last forever. He'd be silly to trade liljegren. I don't think he will unless it's part of a package for a stud.

 

[Preston]

The "lots to do" was Tre referring to getting his own guys signed I think. He left it open that they may not be done especially on D, but wasn't fully committing to that being addressed this summer.

 

[Leafin']

Would be a tidy bit of business if he got Tavares to waive. Open up a bunch of cap to deepen the roster. Doubtful.

I wonder if we get to a point where if Nylander doesn’t sign we end up trading him.

 

[zeke]

I think trading Tavares might be a next year thing.

We could even do something cool like trade him after Jul1 when he only costs a team $7m in real money with some sort of promise to trade back for him at the deadline with retention.

Is that allowed?

[Preston]

Tie really gets around and mingles like no one else

 

[hockeylover]

Is that allowed?

Pretty sure no.

 

[zeke]

Is that allowed?

Sure why not

 

[zeke]

Pretty sure no.

Why not. Normal trade of tavares wouldnt result in any restrictions

 

[hockeylover]

Can’t trade back for him in same calendar year, I don’t think.

 

[zeke]

There would probably be a bidding war on tavares at the deadline tho

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Stop with the Tavares bullshit.

 

[trujaysfan]

I think that's why carolina hasn't been able to officially get that terrible human D'Angelo back yet.

 

[zeke]

Ok so then don't trade back for him. Tavares would need to make a huge sacrifice of not living in toronto for parts of a 6 month period.

 

[cmaleski2]

You can trade back for the player within a calendar year but not with retention.

 

[Preston]

Split the difference dummies. Should be an easy negotiation when the Leafs get a bit more reasonable. Willy should come down too.

 

[hockeylover]

This sounds just like a standard negotiation? That’s not too far apart at all.

Leafs 1m too low, Willy 1m too high. Should be straight forward one would think.

 

[Preston]

Though I'd argue Leafs at 8m is more ridiculous than Willys 10m. But neither side have obviously conceded as much as they eventually will.
