All the Leafs needs is a top 4 RHD and a depth C..

I hope we do target Calgary but for Dougie Hamilton and a depth C.. Maybe even Curtis Lazar, for our bottom 6...

That's why I used the word "hope"

Agree on Gauthier, but Moore?

Pass.. We don't need Moore anymore.

Hes good to have come playoffs.

Not sold on the goat yet

No it isn't. Any team that trades for him is going to want him to sign an extension. Whether he has 1 year left or not is irrelevant. And yes they can sign him to the money he wants because A) his numbers are garbage so it's not like he's coming from a position of strength and B) they have 55 million dollars in cap space when he becomes a UFA and they have to reach the cap floor. The rest of their D is old and/or trash so investing in him isn't the worst thing they could do.



So what? Maybe next year they improve and he isn't -40 and doesn't look completely useless and can trade him for something more valuable than spare parts. Or maybe, they improve and don't have to trade him because he's part of the solution because he's really good and he's in his prime.



Kessel was a lot more one-dimensional than OEL but the Leafs (frank)ed up huge with Kessel. They moved him when his value was the lowest and they got peanuts for him. A very late 1st round pick, a guy they got rid of and a future 3rd liner for a 30+ goal scorer on a Cup winner. Leafs got (frank)ed twice with Kessel, once on the way in and once on the way out. Why would Arizona, much like Toronto with Kessel, force themselves to get less when they can wait and get more in the future if OEL has a better year next year? He's not getting in the way of tanking and he could easily be a part of their future team considering he's not likely going to bring anything as valuable in return.



Same goes for every other team out there which goes back to the first point that Arizona absolutely does not have to trade him this year unless they're blown away by an amazing offer which probably won't come. There is little to no reason for them to trade him now. And if he does get moved, it's probably at the draft for a bunch of top picks and prospects that the Leafs won't want to give up (Nylander+).

I think he meant the other UG..

Technically the leafs got kapanen, their number 1 goalie in andersson and rychel back in the deal for Kessel. I think they also got another pick. In the end I think that's a great return.

It was a good return. And the only one they would have received because they were dealing with one team. His no trade list really handcuffed Dubas. Kessel needed to go, and the team is better now that he's gone.

I think 2 is a couple too many...

Moore will be traded to SJ soon...prob. for a 2018 6th or something

GM Wilson said they're looking for 4th line veteran center

He gets a 4th IMO.

A 6th will get you an AHL call up.

Paul Martin????????????????

Should we acquire Richard Matvichuk while we're at it?

And they got out from under a large cap obligation to a guy who needs a Crosby type leader in place so his 'tude doesn't infect the team. Perfect fit in Pitt, brilliant addition by subtraction for TO. Essential step for the Shanaplan, doesn't even matter much the return.

If SJ is willing to retain a bunch of salary I would consider it.

But tbh I haven't really seen Martin play at all in SJ so I don't have much insight on him.

Do we really need a 36 year old left-handed shooting defenseman?

I think that is the more important question to ask.

Poor Sens fans

Thinking they can trade Ryan's contract

(frank)ing hillarious

It's honestly the worst contract in the league easily.
