No. He's still wearing his Auston Matthews pajamas.

Starting to realize and feel the same way when it comes to the demands acquisitions in trades. Kapanen for example is gonna be great and could be a future top six forward. Leafs should keep their players draft and develop from within. Sign free agents as they become available and try to get a good return on aging veterans before deadline if they can.

Unless you genuinely feel the leafs are a huge threat to win the cup now, there is zero reason to be paying these ridiculous prices.

When Matthews, Marner, etc are 25-30, that's the time to be paying desperate prices to add pieces to put you over the top.

Sorry, I can't see a reality where the glendenings of the league are going to be the difference between a cup or not, and giving away premium picks and prospects for them at the deadline is ridiculous. There are no shortage of these types of player available at the draft and in free agency.

Andreas Johnson, JVR, Leafs 1st for McDonaugh and a 3rd rounder.

Kapanen and a 1st for a player who is constantly injured? Are you high?

JVR makes no sense to the Rangers.

I hope this deadline just comes and goes, unless we can ship JVR to the Preds for a center prospect and a pick.

Call up Aaltonen, have a Finnish line with a bit more finish (Komarov isn't technically, but close enough):

Komarov Aaltonen Kapanen

Yes please.

We've got a good enough PK unit that taking a "loss" in Aaltonen over Moore wouldn't really hurt that much.

I like that idea. Do you have a Center Prospect in mind that you like? McDonagh by the way is another LHD like we r short on them.

I think the isles are a better match for Hjarlmarsson. They will be more willing to part with an asset which fits into the AZ rebuild than what you are proposing. Both 2nds will likely slot ahead of Toronto's pick.

Grant Mismash (if even for his name ). They have a lot of center prospects.

2nd round pick, 19, gritty with upside. Could be a good 3/4C down the road. We need some center prospects to fill the pipeline.

Id just move Leo to C play Martin on the wing for teams with wienerheads.

Slide Leivo in when Martins not, let Moore be the extra

Get a d would be nice....doesnt seem like its going to happen and maybe thats why the rumors of another c

Prices are going to be high. .and if we're to trade some of out assets/Ufas they'll cost other clubs quite a bit too. .jvr nor bozzy will be traded. .IMHO. .unless (obviously) ..if it makes sense..which could be short or long term help?. .a defensive dman and defensively responsible center ..is what the leafs are looking at. .and Taney. .would be great. If injuries weren't the issue! ..the asking Imho would be Johnson/grundstom(pettersens buddy)... .Carrick?.+2nd conditional games played it could become a 1st. .plus leivo? it depends on what dim Jim is looking for..organizational depth?.NHL ready prospects?. .picks? .all three?not sure but similar to the deal for Harmonic. .hammer..it could be. . leivo Carrick 2nd +dman prospect?..two dmen that would look great! ..are they worth it ..or just depth guys..letestu. .and ?..
